Thanks, Brock. I must be getting old because this one is taking a lot more time than previous similar builds. Oh well, no need to hurry. I'm not on any kind of time restraints.

Just by looking at the picture of the parts before you began assembling, it looks to me like the problem is with the roof and not the windshield frame. jmho.

Hanjo, if you have a hair dryer, I always borrow my wife's , you can rig it up and adjust the temperature on it to lightly bend as you move the item that needs reforming. i have used this process with surprisingly good results on styrene. i'm guessing that's what this model is.

Too bad they put Thunderbird script on these valve covers; I sanded off the script and added small rectangular pieces of bare metal foil. It's not perfect but when I get the Holman and Moody decal on the center of the valve cover it won't be that noticeable. Getting very close to the end. The kit I used for the Fireball Roberts car had smooth chrome valve covers as you can see in some of the previous ref pictures.

Wow, that's about the best resin casting I have ever seen. I've only done one resin so I cannot tell you much about it. The one I did was of very poor quality. So, the final result was not very good either.

Had to get rid of the Thunderbird letters on the valve covers.

It will be a while before I get to a 65 Ford. My next build will be a 3rd gen Camaro.

Should be a fun build, Art. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks, Jim.

Thanks, Jason. I will keep that in mind.

If I had a 65 Galaxy model, I would definitely be doing a 65 Ford. Those kits are very hard to find unless there was a new release lately that I did not hear about.

Thanks, Bob, and so true about the carb. I guess I could put a coupler on the air cleaner to make it removable and clean up the carb a little to make it look presentable. But the manifold is way off.

Air cleaner getting close to completion.

Thanks, Rooster. I appreciate your interest as well.

Thanks, Carl. I appreciate the kind feedback.

Kit only comes with 3 duece set up or blower. Have to make an air cleaner.

Stephen, great job on the finish. The red and blue really pop. The decals look excellently applied. This build is a winner top to bottom. your skills are to be proud of.

Here is the 2023 Justin Marks Trans Am Camaro. You can see a lot of the next gen cup camaro in it.

I will try to find that picture of the trams am Camaro. It does look a lot like the cup car, but the tires look bigger. Looking forward to your 63 Ford.

Wow, great job on this. I wonder if the Trackhouse Trans Am Camaro that Justin Marks drives could be done like this one was?

Thanks, Pierre. For some reason this model is taking forever to complete. Maybe I finally went over the hill and can't do these things anymore. Well, I'm not going to stop trying.

Super nice model, Benny. Very clean build.

Excellent job, Pat. Too bad Salvino's doesn't do the present-day truck series like they do the Next gen cars. I would definitely like to do one of those.
