So what is a good not too expensive tool to make straight precise clean cuts on thicker styene sheet??
-
Glad you pointed that out to Bob. Went to get our 2d Covid Shot so couldn't reply fast enough to point that out.
-
Dave has kinda been my "mentor" with the painting process. He has the right advice and answers.
-
Got several parts from Ron this morning.....all look good, great price and quick shipping. ?
-
Primer looks good Bob.
-
What Pete said is a great explanation BUT, don't wet sand the acrylic craft paint. You can use super fine (#0000) steel wool. It's available at a lot of places (maybe WallyWorld, Hobby Lobby, Lowes, etc.).
-
Bob, there are "experts" on here that can answer the question better than I, but it could be the orange peel is in the color coat.
-
Wow Tom, it's a beauty!!?
-
?Yep, when I saw the distributor on the front of the engine I asked myself what engine is that!!?? Blasphamy, a Ford engine in a Chevy?
-
I guess I'll be the first '57 Chevy "purist to say it....nope, (sorry) not a fan of the rear, but the rest of it looks cool. A lot of good work there Dennis.
-
Very nice build Andrew. Aside from the low rider part and wheels (sorry just not a fan) it's beautiful??
-
Not good to hear about the BMF because just about all of us use it quite a lot. I bought the ultra chrome stuff and it's just not a good as the old school stuff. I think it's definately thinner.
-
Well good luck Bob. Your son live about 20 minutes from me, I'm in Columbia, south of Franklin.
-
Actually Bob, since it was one of my early builds after returning to the hobby, it was painted with Krylon rattle can gloss black and not even clear coated. I too use the Meguires Ultimate.
-
I applaud you?you for the extensive research and work you are doing on this. It's looking terrific. -
Thats actually the kit I wanted but my Wife surprised me with this one. It turned out to be one of my most favorite builds.
-
Sounds about right. It will polish out nicely. So far I have never sanded a finish. I just use a high quality medium polishing compound to level it then liquid finish polish, but that just me.
-
Bob, it's actually the '41 Willys Street Rod Revell kit. Has the red and black car on the box.
-
If I remember, this was a super easy build Bob.
-
Looks good to me Bob. It's the same system I will be using on my '55 Sedan. How many clear coats tho??
-
Pretty darn cool Bob?
-
Pretty sure it's the Revell kit, the box is packed away. It is an out of box build, no mods other than the plug wires.

My Dad owned a '55 Belair 2dr Hdtp, a '55 150 2dr sedan a bought literally from a little old lady original owner, 2 ' 57 2 Dr Hdtps (one he gave my when I graduated HS in 1964) and a '57 Convertable he hated because the convertable top frames rattled and if drove him crazy. So I have a lot of Tri5 experience.

Wow "Zippy", that's a cool truck.
