Ricky, did the Schlitz come along before or after the PBR contract?? Let's both show our age LOL!! Fellow USAF vet Jim D.

My apologies if this has already been offered up...Always smile, Many will appreciate the positive feedback, the remainder will wonder what you're up to!

Peter, thank you for your reply, Jim D.

Peteski, I see you are using Print White as a command. What printer are you using that prints white? Thanks, Jim D.

When a part goes flying into another dimension, I too worry more about getting back vertical than getting down on the floor. I also employ a trick I learned early in my radar maintenance shop days in the Air Force. Use a bright flashlight at a low angle to cause the dropped part to cast a shadow or a reflection from those chrome bits to help make the lost part more visible. Of course, this "cheat" doesn't work as well on a carpeted floor as it does a hard surface. Oh Yeah Jim, that is a killer 40 Ford! Love it! Jim D.

Bart, Thanks for the reply

Beautiful job! Did this start as a kit?

Yeah, lately I have been looking through the WIP category and have only gotten through the first 45 of 700+ pages LOL

Really great result, Jim. The added side trim really reinforces the two-door visual. First quality execution on a well thought out design plan! Jim D.

Bart, while I haven't used any of the spray products yet, I do have on my shelf a 1/72 scale F-86 Sabre that I foiled with BMF 20+ years ago and then applied the waterslide decals over the foil. It looks fine still with no lifting of decals, etc. I did not use any gloss coats on anything. I do remember the foilng process was tedious, but I love the results. Sorry no picture, my computer doesn't like downloading photos from my phone!

Great Rod!! Lots of fascinating details. How did you do the chrome? Jim D.

That would be my one and only stop in Montana! Jim D. in Texas

Welcome to the forum, Evan and be sure to share your models even if not cars! Jim D.

Welcome to the forum, love your lead sled! Jim D.

Thanks for your reply, John. I have a several decades old glue bomb rescue 1959 Buick Invicta convertible project that will get either a nailhead if I find a good one or the Chevy 409 left over from the 1959 Impala kit I stole the frame from. LOL Jim D.

John, where did you source the Nailhead from it looks really good, Jim D.

Good Stuff, Brian!! Thank you for posting this info.

re Anniversary is this weekend, so as they say, see you on the flip side. As I am infamous for around our congregation let me tell you congratulations on your anniversary and pass along my condolences to your wife. LOL Great looking truck!

Chaz, the obvious display of workmanship seen in your cribbing construction bodes well for your results with the actual car project. Looking good! Thanks for sharing! Jim D.

Welcome to the forum Kat. Perhaps as a Brit you'll recognize my reference to the Luddites when I disparage every other type of social media! LOL Jim D. Tennessee born, but Texas raised!

Buying this kit if for no other reason than to have those SWEET headers in my parts box inventory!! Sweet looking model I don't recall having seen this one when first released.

Love the Dio...Very effective use of the figures really brings it to life!

Welcome back to the hobby and to the forum. Remember, if you are building for yourself the only opinion of your work that matters is your own. Good looking work so far.

Andrew, I have really enjoyed your posting on Jim Clark's Lotus 25. Clark was my first driver hero when I was a pre-teen. I was in junior high when I found out he had been killed. I remember I was taking final exams that day. Needless to say, I didn't do well on them.
