  1. Looks great @magicmustang! I’m a huge blue oval fan.
  2. @Leon Cream, You may already have this information, if so my apologies. The chassis that you’re using for a donor is Laughlin style “front steer” chassis. Monogram used them on the GM kits, but they are interchangeable into a Monogram Ford body. The kits with the Laughlin chassis’s didn’t have front springs for some reason. The Ford Thunderbird kits came with a Banjo Matthews style “rear steer” chassis. They did come with front springs. These will are also interchangeable into the GM bodies. Maybe @Dave Van can chime in with more information. He’s way more knowledgeable about these kits than I am. Edit, After looking at your pictures again, those lower control arms look like they came from a later Monogram kit, maybe from a Lumina? If so, that most likely blows my earlier comments out of the water. Sorry for any confusion.
  3. @MarkJ, you’re a way more advanced modeler than I probably ever will be so I feel that advice from me is unwarranted. That said, I’ve had a great experience with Bondene if I need something to take hold quickly. I’ve got CA glue too but not crazy about it.
  4. I’m with @Dave Van, I wouldn’t go that direction but it’s your kit. As always, to each his own.
  5. Well, as long as it includes the oil.
  6. I took 800 mg twice today. Helps a great deal.
  7. Getting home safely from the Fall Nationals in TX. Now I have to rest up for a day to recover from the trip. Getting older ain’t for sissies!!! Edit, None of my guys won but as always, it was a blast.
  8. Fixing to leave the motel now
  9. Super nice builds @jmc1!
  10. @MarkJ, Do you keep paint color information written down for future reference?
  11. Packing up to head to Ennis, TX for the NHRA Fall Nationals. Look forward to it every year.
  12. I believe that you hit it out of the park with that shade of blue Mark.
