    A benefit to 2 part (catalyzed) fillers is they don't shrink over time like a single stage

    You might try looking at PPP 1970's 5 slot wheels. If their opening is too small, it's easier to make them bigger instead of smaller

    Guess it's like the real thing, whole body is wrapped. You did an excellent job

    In late 1967 or early 68 (I was 6) someone bought me the MPC '68 Barracuda. Tried to make it look like the box art with the wild pinstriping. I recently accquired another kit of the same, sealed inside (significantly more $). But it will be built at some point.

    Try Keith Marks for decals.

    Not a Ford expert, but wondering if the chassis from the '70 Torino would work? Hart's Parts makes a '68 grill.

    Not to hard to strip it and start over. If it's still soft, purple stuff should take it off easily.

    Per Steven's suggestion, I have seen several nice out of box builds of the Revell kit. I got one at a show recently, opened but sealed inside for $10. Haven't built it, but looking forward to it as it appears to be a well thought out kit, I'm sure more detailed than the AMT version.

    I rarely buy older vintage kits, but the MPC 68 Barracuda was the first kit I ever built, so I ended up paying $125 for a sealed inside kit recently.

    They also make great two part epoxy adhesives if the need arises.

    I use Duplicolor spray cans to prime kits painted with automotive lacquer, and you don't get much "hotter" than those. Just apply your paint in lighter coats, not too wet.

    Spotlight Hobbies has them in the unbuilt kit sections by year mixed in with recent and older kits. They also have several old built kits that can be restored.

    No sure, but Keith Marks may have something that would work.

    Looking at the body you are using, it looks very good, could it be from Replicas and Miniatures?

    Honestly like your workbench, looks a lot like mine. Ok, yours is neater.

    Your installments count as replies

    AMT Pro Shop (new tool) with photo etched parts is the best in my opinion. High parts count, nice distributor cap with holes for plug wires. They are still pretty easy to find and usually no more than a regular kit. If building for just plain fun and nostalgia, the old AMT

    I drill a hole in each corner, then drag the backside of a #11 knife between them.

    The ones Jason mentioned are made by Plastic Performance Parts (PPP), so anyone carrying their products should have them. You can try calling Mike, sometimes when it says out of stock, he may still have a couple or at least let you know when he expects them.

    Smart to start her off on something not to difficult, you get to see results pretty quick. Plus those are very nice kits.

    If you look up some pictures of Larry Wilson's 1963 Z11 Impala race cars it had some long homemade bars from square tubing. Sox and Martin prepped this car for him.

    If you are looking for Slixx quality, it's not there.

    Hate the Bleche White didn't do the trick. It probably is painted with automotive lacquer.
  24. Shark
    Just looked at Harts Parts Resin, he has them. His stuff is first class and quick turn around. Lots of Mopar stuff

    At one time MCW was casting them, check out their website
