[32 Ford]

Calling it done.

 

[32 Ford]

Revell 32 Ford 5 window kit. Paint is Tamiya Titanium Silver and Tamiya Red. Floor polish clear coat. I think the combo looks pretty good. No problems with the kit except for my fumbling fingers messing up stuff. I was missing some parts from the kit, so I got some from ebay and some others from the parts box. I noticed while taking the photos I had lost one of the front nerf bars, I'll need to look for it, but probably will not find it. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Looking good. Did not get a garden out this year, i am going to miss fried green tomatoes.

Thanks. It was good with a plate of white acre peas, cornbread, and cucumbers.

Thanks Bob.

I used the  Elmers white glue method on this 56 Chevy. Painted it first with a brown, then dabbed on the glue and painted over it with the green. Then wash the Elmers off with a toothbrush and water.

I've used mod podge, it works fine. I also use Evergreen canopy glue, it works too.

Interior, chassis/suspension done. Engine installed.

Good idea with that gorgeous tomato, James. Fried green tomatoes are delightful!  A great Southern favorite!  As far as the deuce goes, I think you should paint it the color of that tomato! ?

Thanks Jim. I did consider a light green, but I had saw one in silver and thought it looked good.

Looking good Bob. I like the old 41 Willys, need to get me a kit.

Thank you.

Working on a Revell 32 Ford. Building a Highboy but using the Ford engine. Paint is Tamiya x-32 Titanium Silver and Tamiya x-7 Red. I am missing some chassis and suspension parts, have them on order. All comments welcome and thanks for looking. Yes that's a green tomato on the upper right, I'm thinking of slicing it up and frying it.

Very nice build, especially like the color. Even though I am a died in the wool Ford guy, I wouldn't mind having one like this parked on my carport.

Thanks.

Great looking dark blue color and finish. The bumpers sheen looks close to the body trim. Like how you posed the front wheels and the wheel and tire combination look good. 

Thanks David.

Nice work.  What's funny is I was just at an indoor Flea Market that's next door to where I get my car serviced; they had two die cast 61 Impalas in there.  Someone was also selling several pricey Danbury Mint cars. 

Thanks.

[electric drill, which]

I use a cordless dremel. Charge the battery to about half power and it works great.

[61 Chevy SS 409]

Had a few problems with this one, but finally got it together, warts and all. The color is ScratchesHappen Azure Metallic Blue. This was a bottle of touchup paint I had for my Buick Encore GX. It mixed well with some cheap lacquer thinner and sprayed good through my airbrush. The interior is Tamiya Acylic Blue. Clear is floor polish sprayed with airbrush.  Straight out of box build, I added plug wires and a fuel line to the carb. I had the kit in my stash for about 2 years, the chrome trees were spotted, looking like the plating was coming off. The small bits were ok like that, but I stripped the bumpers and grille, then sprayed them with Krylon Original Chrome. It looks good but not as bright as the kit chrome. I did the side trim with BMF, and really messed it up. After that I finished the rest of the trim with a Molotow pen. Lost one of the rear backup lights bezel, so had to make do without it. Not a show car, so it will do. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

How am I just finding this. I remember your awesome D-100 build. Really enjoyed following it, and I will enjoy following this one. Now to go back and catch up.

[‘79 Chevy Nova]

Nice. I like the green.

[Spotted Chrome]

I've been handling the bumpers and grille I did with the Krylon and it's holding up well. And from some of the photos I've seen my 6 dollar can of Krylon Chrome looks just as good as the Revell and Molotow stuff.

[1971 Dodge Demon]

Looks great. Nice work.

[1957 Chevy Bel Air Street Machine]

Beautiful 57 Bob. Nice work.

[Airbrush PTFE Needle Packing stuck]

I had this happen with a Paasche Talon. I took a small drill bit and twisted it into the packing, then took pliers on the end of the bit and pulled it out. The drill bit needs to be just a little bigger than the hole in the packing. I tried a couple before I found the right size that would catch on it.

[Spotted Chrome]

After checking on molotow refill and Revell Chrome, the prices are out of my budget. I was going to email Round2 but then remembered I had bought a can of Krylon Original Chrome spray at Micheals about a year ago. I decided to try it. It's not as bright as the kit chrome, but I think it looks ok.
