Very well done. Particularly the foil trim. How did you get the Fairlane 500 script to come out so nice?

Very nice build. "Cool" cool air intake on it too.

I am in agreement with Steve. Whatever solvents are in the primer or paint are the key to adhesion. An oil (and debris) free surface is of benefit too. Sanding can give some paints some "tooth" to hang onto. Especially water based paints. I have recently modified my body prep by washing the body with dish soap and a green Scotchbrite pad or sponge. Finger oils are removed but body plastic is not.

Gorgeous builds! You have both great imagination and mad skills. I love the Bonne' it looks like a spaceship!

Sweet build. I did one when I was a teenager in the 70's. I have one in my stash for a nostalgia build.

I used Dupli Color over Tamiya primer and was getting some minor chipping. I handled the build very carefully until it was detailed then put Future over it. It seemed to act as a sealer. No issues since. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147188-modified-for-length-amt-lowboy-trailer/

Nice Boss 302s. My friend was at HL today and texted me that they had one on sale. I asked him to go ahead and grab it for me. I am presently working on a 69 Boss 429 from an older Mach 1 kit.

I have been mostly a buyer. Model shows with raffles get you a lot of bang for the buck. I spend $40 on tickets and go home with over 10 models some times. With that said, I often end up with a few that I will never build. Of those, I have had good luck selling them on SCALEMATES.com. I just put them in my trading folder with a reasonable price and whenever someone goes to research that kit in their database, it shows that you are selling. You do not even have to post pics. Be advised you will not get a lot of nibbles but the posting does not expire. I ask the buyer to pay the real world shipping with or without insurance at their risk. After a few PM's, they send me the money and I send them the kit. No drama, no fees.

My parents has a 60. It was white with a red interior. I do not remember the wheels that were on it. Chrome reversed rims would be my 1st choice. 8 lugs would be my 2nd.
