    I did get the Iwata handle. The whole combination has some heft to it. A pleasant surprise that in spite of the trigger and handle, it fits very well in my airbrush holder.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane. A high school buddy and I bought a 71 Galaxie 500 4-door in baby blue with a blue interior. It was a good running n reliable car for $350.

    Those black steelies, and 4-speed, really style it as street bruiser.

    Nicely done.

    Here are some grilles done with Tamiya Panel Line.

    Great job on the recreation and the smile you gave her.

    The AMT 68 Shelby kit would give you a good running head start.

    I have gathered enough items to run this project to completion. I have disassembled a 75 Cutlass promo and will be making mods to backdate it to a 74. I have two sets of decals to make the H/O Indy pace car. Thus begins another kitbash adventure.

    Got to lay some white paint today with my new PS-290. I am liking it. Good atomization, good control, automatic ending with air only. The really big cup is a plus too. Clean up takes a bit more lacquer thinner due to larger cup. So far so good.

    Getting back to this one after being distracted by two challenging builds. Primered the hood yesterday and painted some decant Testors Gloss white along the centerline for the stripes. I will have to let it cure for couple of weeks before masking for the Dark Blue.

    Now that I have studied the spoke pattern closer, you are correct.

    I vote patina.

    I dunno about that. What about Big Red?
  14. Bills72sj
    Yes, more pics please.

    Looks pretty good from here. When I built mine, I was not brave enough to paint the headlight frames.

    $20!!! You stole it!

    Superb job!

    Thank you fro answering my question. I plan on building one as a dark blue street machine and the other as a bracket racer.

    Have you figured out how to lock each moving piece in either direction? If not, may I suggest hidden mini magnets.

    While I am not retired yet (7 years to go God willing) I feel EXACTLY the same way. Though I do have a mostly done driveable 1:1 to tinker with.

    I think the biggest problem would be adhesion strength. Especially with parts that have very little surface area contact. Like engine fans and rear view mirrors.

    I have two of these in the 1992 issue of the 3 car "Muscle Car" set. Would they have the correct interior parts?

    I have one of those to build. My dad had a 54 convertible that has a number stories associated with it. (Including a scar it gave me that took 20 years to fade away)

    I agree with your assessment. However, I pretty much know it is the O-rings. You are correct about the seal. I have seen the lubricant mention on some videos. I will need to get some.
  25. Bills72sj
    Dang! That is way cool! I gotta get one of those. Nice color combo.
