It may not necessarily apply in your case but, I have learned that some paints "blush" if the humidity is over 50% when spraying. Just FYI.

Spent a little time after dinner on my Freightliner COEs: Admired how well my diamond plated topped, battery boxes look now attached to the frame. Glued and clamped the 2nd exhaust stack to the modified stack supports. Pried off and rearranged the chrome rocker covers so that the breather is now on the rear so that the air cleaner fits. (Instruction's placement not working) Glued gas pedals to both interiors. Prepped brake pedals for gluing tomorrow. (That no one will ever see) Applied Molotow chrome to both "Tape decks" and both upper radiator hoses. Glanced at my painted, then white-lettered, then sanded off mud flaps because I found the decal sheets have White Freightliner decals that will look much better. Peeled off BMF mask on one of the dashboards and re-BMF'd it. Used ultra fine Sharpies to color in instrument panels. Ran out of motivation to tackle 2nd dash. Back to waiting for low humidity to be able to spray 2nd frame red and respray mudflaps.

Of all the GTO's I always thought the 65 would be the best candidate for and El Camino version. Your beautiful results confirm it.

Top notch results.

Awesome quality workmanship. Nice paint, BMF and little details.

What kit has the Heartbeat valve covers?!?!?! I had to spend hours making decals.

I too love the pens. My 1st was a 2mm. It didn't want to flow at first but after some pumping on the tip it has worked ever since. For super fine work I purchased a 1mm tip. That one worked right out of the package. BEST solution for marred kit chrome and sprue removal scars.

Here is a link to a body on ebay (i'm not selling it) https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMT-1968-FORD-MUSTANG-MACH-1-ORIGINAL-ISSUE-2148-200-MPC-68-USED-BODY-ONLY/114011335167?hash=item1a8b9ae9ff:g:Q9wAAOSwoFxd8cA~

It is a 70 and I built it.

Watching most of the BRBO builds. Following.

I have recently acquired a 352 rebuilder. I will follow how yours goes. I have some extra chrome bits if you come up short..

Very nice detailing on the grille and tail panel.

A friend of my cousin's let me borrow his 68 Dodge Dart for a couple of weeks. It had a front end so worn out it would actually "Dart" either way depending on whichever toed-out front tire had the most load on it. Anyone who drove it looked like a drunk driver to an outside observer. I couldn't wait to get my car back from the shop. Later that year, he tack welded the doors shut and Sawzalled the roof off.

Awesome workmanship. What scale is it?

Nice work my friend.

Following. I have one in progress.

I agree, I just had to throw away a large can of primer that clogged 4 different clean spray nozzles instantly.

Made some progress this weekend. Interior started, grilles blacked out, 2nd battery box glued to the frame. The cab paint is still too tacky to determine if I can sand the dust out or if I have to strip it and start over. Started assembly of the modified exhaust too.

I hear you. My dad went through a few. 48 Merc, 58 Impala, 63 Chevy wagon, 64 Falcon wagon, 66 Satellite convertible, 58 Ford Pick up, 65 Riviera, 66 Chrysler 300, 69 Chevelle wagon, 58 DeSoto, and those are just the ones I remember before I went to high school. Oh yea, his drag car...34 Plymouth coupe with a 331 Hemi and (Eight!) 2-BBLs.

Made a bit of progress this weekend. Interior started. Wanted to work on the frame but my ancient primer is still a wee bit tacky. Spent all Sunday afternoon blacking out the grilles for both of my Freightliners.

I agree, It is always best to stay on the good side of the person who makes your food.?

I think I got my cans fairly recently at Michaels craft store (Oregon)

I see. I guess I'll find out when I spray it.

There have been complaints of lots of flashing, (there is) but I love the subject and you get extra parts. (Which is good, as my semi parts box is nil)
