Thanks Gary. I had my fingers crossed the vinegar thing would work and not destroy them and it did give a favourable result. One more tool in the box as they say

Well not much of an update to show but took me all day to get this done and it looks way better in real life. And I still have more to add, but …. I’m sure I’m late to this party, but I had the chance to visit BC Hobbies in Victoria last week and was chatting with Bob about decal set liquids …. He told me not to waste a great deal of money on the commercial bottles, but rather use regular white table vinegar to soften decals. So , armed with that tidbit, I thought I would give it a go. The decals that needed a little help to snuggle down were the stripes I got from Jerry at Model Truckin. I have to say the vinegar trick worked quite well. Like any decal set it takes a little patience and some fussing it worked ! I used those little micro brushes to work the decal over the door hinges. It looks great to the normal Mark 1 eye ball and I am happy with it. The photo is still a wip as the decals are not completely dry and done but it gives you an idea of how the vinegar does work. As mentioned , I’m sure this may be old news to most of you, but I was impressed. Jeff

Ottawa doesn’t like semi trucks either…….. the No Fun Police is hard at work. This nonsense is getting WAY out of hand. Maybe they should be a little more concerned with our food and water ? Asking for a friend….

Thanks Brian. It was a great holiday and good to get away but equally as good to be back home. Hopefully some bench time ahead.

OUTSTANDING, detailing, Brian......not one item missed.....

Good question, I would be interested in what everyone uses as well…. Jeff

It was just too cool for words. The gal said he was very serious about his car rides. Made my day to see that.

Looking forward to this one JM ! Jeff

Phenomenal !!!!!!

My pleasure Randy ! Thanks for such kind words. Been out of town and away from the bench for a bit but hope to have another update soon. Can’t wait to see more of your build…

Yes it was in Victoria. Last weekend. Cool. Do you know more about it?

I sure like that single exhaust stack and where you mounted it. Perfect location and looks cool

This is coming along at a rapid rate. I really like the front rims. This is going to be an eye catcher for sure… like this a lot

What a sweet paint job and the color is spot on! This will be a show stopper! Jeff

Nothing Horrible. All good and ok

My apologies for posting it. I didn’t realize this thread was for only real cars. Just thought you guys would be interested in seeing it.

Well along with Corvettes being my thing , trucks are too and this beauty was beside me for a few miles

Well , I have NO idea. I’m NOT a Porsche guy Corvettes are my thing, but listening to the owner he said it was a 57 and no mention of a kit or anything else, but hey, I may be wrong. Just thought it fit the thread of what I saw on the road today.

What makes you think that? Out of curiosity?

Saw this , this morning at the BC Ferry’s terminal in Delta BC. Heard the owner say it was a ‘57
