Hey Steve Thanks for the tip. I have some Klean Strip virgin lacquer thinner, its a medium dry. I gave it a try and it seems to work pretty good, though it seems aggressive. I went on Klean Strips web site to get the MSDS sheets to see the ingredients. It has Acetone in it. So I went out and got some of that to try. That also works pretty good and it seems less aggressive. My last experiment is to use 50/50 mix of lacquer thinner and acetone. Both the lacquer thinner and acetone used separately produce a fairly strong bond. With the Tenex 7R the bond is strong but seems slightly weaker than lacquer thinner or acetone. The aggressive thinners would work good for larger heavier parts, but I would stick with Tenex for the small fine parts. Also, I have been experimenting using plastic sprue dissolved in Tenex 7R to used as a light filler for body work. I have had pretty good results with this mixture. Since you mentioned using the lacquer thinner for glue I decided to try making the putty filler with thinner and acetone, as a cost saving measure. I am in the middle of that experiment and it looks like its going to work. Thanks for the tip Steve

Hello All and Happy Holidays What are your feelings about Tenex 7R Liquid Glue. I just bought a brand new bottle of Tenex. It seems that now it does not evaporate as fast as it used to. Is this my imagination or have they changed their formula slightly. It seems to work just as good as before. If this is true, I think this is a good thing because you don't have to rush as much to apply the cement with your brush. Has anybody used other types of liquid glue, and what are your results?

Hello What kit is the 55 Chevy. I dont remember seeing one with the recess in the body for the side mouldings. Frank B.

Hello All Here is a few more pictures of the bed area of the truck.

Hello All Here is my first post to this forum. I am working on a 50 Chevy pick up, which started out as a chop top experiment. Then developed into a full custom. I pie cut the hood next. I wanted to french the headlights, someone suggested I put overhangs on the headlights. I ended up using buckets from a scrap 57 Chevy 2 door. In my travels I picked up a custom car magazine, in it showed a photo of a 48 Chevy with a 59 Cadillac rear clip on the bed area. This gave me the idea to use the remaining 57 Chevy 2 door, rear clip on 50 Chevy P/U. I am now working on the frame and suspension, looks like it will be like a pro street set up. Here is photo of what I have so far. Frankiebe in Western NY Best Wishes Frank Blonski frankie@quixnet.net Please visit us on the web. www.94nyh.com 94th New York Co H c/o Frank Blonski P.O.
