I have succesfully used masking tape. Put it down where you don't want the bondo, and after you get your putty down, but before it hardens, while it's slightly tacky, pull the tape at a 45 degree angle away from the bondo and it should give you a clean line where the tape was, and no bondo where you don't want it.

I'm probably wrong, but I'm going to go with model...

Clay, if ever there was an understatement of the day, I think that this would qualify!!! Beautiful paint. What kind of clear are you using??

Thanks ya'll. DugE...green caps huh....might have to put it back on the bench

Well, finally finished this one up. Well, for the most part. After I took the pics I decided I dont' like th ehood hinges, so I'll have to rebuild those, and I still need to pu tin a wiper motor, but I'm still gonna call it good. Thanks to all the great guys on the board that helped me out with the parts needed!

-Double Post Sorry-

Wow! I went through your album, and that is amazing! Great attention to detail. You nailed it!!!

That would be Lady Penelope's Thunderbird from the movie remake of Garry Anderson's "Thunderbirds" F-A-B

Another line to look into is www.autoaircolors.com The only downfall is it is designed to be used with a urathane clear. I am going to be trying these soon and using duplicolor clear. If not, you'll need to invest inregualr automotive grade clear. And seconds on the repirator no matter what kind of paint you shoot..

Found these shopping with the wife today. Went into one of those beauty supply stores and while waiting on the misses, found these. I don't know the actual grits, but the purple is about a 100, with the others getting progressively finer. Nice and small with a good point for getting into those hard to reach places. I think they're designed for manicure work. If ya'll have one of these stores around you, might be worth a look to see if they have them.

Hey hey hey!!! No reason to bring a poor old Mustang into this! They would have been better off crunching a Camaro But ya'll are right. I'm only hoping that they were originally bought by the movie companies years ago with some kind os stipulatoin that they could never be sold to the public. Then, maybe, and only maybe, can I see crunching one up. Or, even better, they were a couple of bondo babies from teh scrap yard. Aw hell, there ain't no way to justify it......

George, I wish I had an answer for ya! Just watched it this wekend myself and was wondering about that. I was pretty sure that all the E bodies were hardtops....

Well, Murphy has struck. Thought I had it going good with the decals showing up this weekend. Well, I managed to mess those up, lose the rear bumper, and since I didn't paint the hood with the rest of the body, it doens't match. Off to Modelhaus for a new bumper. This 'Bee is gonna be the death of me...

You can use it over and over. If it seems like it's taking noticably longer to strip the paint, then swap it out. I swap mine out about every 6 months, and have had no problems. And it get used a lot over those 6 months Just be sure to keep it in a sealable container....

I buy mine at the local Wal Mart. It's back in the automotive section next to the cleaners and waxes. About $7 for a gallon. And it will dissolve super glue....

Now this is something that I should think about doing. All my spares end up in whatever box is empty, and then I have to remeber which box I put them in when I need to hunt something down. Maybe there is something to being organized.....

Well, the parts kit came in that I scrounged the wheels from, and the dana came in this week too. Here is a mock up of the final stance. Hopefull, the decals will get here this week and I can get this one under glass in a week or so.

Started getting the motor sorted out.....does anyone know where the heater hoses hook up to????

Sprayed Dupli-color white on the Bee..and then hit it with there clear. Who would have thought that would turn it beige ... At least it's close enough to a factory color that I might live with it. I don't want to send it to the purple pond and lose all the body work I did in the engine bay....

Thanks George! It's coming along slowly. Managed to get the core support sttarted today, and thanks to go out to Roadkill2525 for hooking me up with the hemi!

Needed to pass some time while the latest roudn of body work on the Bee dries. Pulled out a couple of old stangs and accomplished something. Fianlly got the 429 wired up for the 70 and shot fresh color on the 65 and got color on the 5.4. Maybe these two will actually be done this year!

Got a bit more work done to the firewall. Hope to have it all workied out this wekend to my liking. Started to do wome work on the interior. Now I just need to decide if I want to go with the factory seats or a custom set.

I may have a pistol grip lying around. I'll check tonight when I get home and let you know

Looking good. Can't wait to see how it finishes out. I like that blue....kind of a lighter shade of Ford's Grabber....wheels look great on it!
