I just Google'd "FORD 352", bunch of stuff came up. Hope that helps... cause I know almost squat on engines.

I built one... but I don't know how old it is. Probably from the 70's. Look on the back of the decal sheet, may be a date there. If nothing else, at least this will bump up.

Will, I just Mapquest searched "Milford, Ma" Just get on 495 N. until you are in Lowell... Classic Plastic has their meetings there first Saturday of the month (unless there is a holiday, then it is the following Saturday) Use the side door near the back... first one in usually leaves it propped open a bit. If not, the front door is OK.

I'd say you met all your goals, and then some!

Please note- this is a model car forum, that must be a real car! Two of these!

Charlie, Here is some pics...apparently updated Edsels have been tried, this one based on an '89 Pontiac Grand Prix!

Somewhere, somehow, builds like this blur the lines between "model", to "artwork", to "engineering masterpiece"! When it no longer on the model show circuit, perhaps it should go... to the Smithsonian?!

Well, here is the booth I used to have. I didn't much care fer it, I always thought it wuz kinda small, an I had a heckuva time gittin' my model in n out without bangin it up an all... So, my wife bought me this unit from Pace. It is the small booth they sell, and cost less than anything the competition had at the time. Made in the USA, stainless steel... can't go wrong! Unless of course you buy a larger unit from Pace! BTW... I use the Press'n Seal to cover the sides & bottom... less wash up, no dried up overspray flaking off into my next paint job. Yes, it does have a filter...

I have seen the photos you refer to... I think you topped them! Outstanding detail. Rommel & Skully are perfect! "Skeletons are NOT pure white... exhibit A!"

I recall the tube glue collection at the NNL got a lot of attention.

Two things... First, it would really be nice to see the winning model during the trophy presentation. I don't see any practical way of going about that however. Second, ask participants (especially at NNL's) to please not cover up their info! I like to label the pics, I need to see the name, year, and builder.

Nice Edsel! BTW, I posted this under the duplicate message. Then I deleted it when I noticed replies were appearing here instead. I really dig Edsels, the one I built... floats in space! Really. Sorta!

BTW, if ya lookin' for a photo of box art, try my 33 page* Box Art album... it's in alphabetical order! It's not complete, but I'm always working on it. *as of today http://public.fotki.com/JCole/model_box_art/

What may be the first model kit I purchased this year... Also stocked up on K&S "music wire" .015 and .025, Two diff viscosities of Mercury super glue, and several bottles Tamiya paint, plus one MM Acrylic.

Hmmm... Don't know about this. My indian name is "Types Too Slow" Last time I was in a chat room, my reply hit the thread, three comments old!

Groan! Now that I e-mailed Gregg, begging for help! Umm... "never mind!"

Nice! I have a similar body here from Perry's that I bought several years ago at the NNL East. He who dies with the most resin bodies... wins! BTW, I spied the original uploaded photo of yours... plate looks familiar. Plus that door emblem... looks like it may be Manchester, NH?

Always lookin' forward to a Dino build! Choose a color yet?

Every limousine I have ever seen has at least two functional doors on the driver's side, one for the driver, the second door out back for the guests. BTW, this looks like a great build! You solved that alignment issue... keep going! BTW #2... nice job incorporating a formal roof line out back!

I believe Bob Downie has also ordered Welly before from overseas. I sure would like to order a few. Not just the Jeep either. Please IM me if anyone knows the source... thanks!

I was in "Comfy" mode... I tried the blue, but the logo upper left disappeared. I tried IBSkin Red but the tool bar in the reply window goes right smack across the middle! So, back to "Comfy"!

Ohhh... the seventies. I can remember some of it I was driving a Ford Courier Pickup when I bought my first CB, thus the handle "Courier Kid"

Afaik, Tamiya Putty is no longer available, at least here in the states. That's a shame too because it is good stuff. As others have indicated, you cannot go wrong with two-part polyster glazing putty. Any good automotive jobber should have it. It cures by chemical reaction, not evaporation! For you, that means less waiting. Gotta love that!

eYYYY! OWW! Now I'm gonna need...

It appears that the side window sills don't line up... I would think they should line up. Perhaps fill in the entire mid section? What color are you going to paint it? It would look good in "Limo" black with dark tint glass, via Tamiya window tint. Keep going with this!
