Thanks for the tip, I will try that next time.

Pretty awesome!

Looks like a well cared for shop truck!

Great color choice for a sweet build! I have this one in my stash, and I too plan on building it as a service truck.

That is a masterpiece in weathering! Not to mention build quality and execution. It takes way more effort to produce a "patina effect", than a nice shiny paint job (probably why I haven't attempted one,lol).

That is absolutely beautiful! I love the two-tone. I'm guessing that's the "California Wheels" kit, that's still available at Hobby Lobby? I agree 100% with you on the quality of this kit. It practically falls together, because it's so well engineered. I built mine "Carolina Blue" just like the box pic, and it won 3rd place in the Import Category, at an IPMS show earlier this year.

These were local folks, invited to bring their classics.

Very clean build, and excellent paint! I do believe that your Brake Master Cylinder is sideways, though. The two "U" shaped clamps are what hold the lid on, and should be on top (not trying to be critical). I do have a question though. What glue do you use for the P/E emblems? I've tried superglue, but it "clouds" the emblems, and doesn't look right when I do it.

That is a pretty cool looking truck. Love the color!

I'll be back in my hometown of Sandusky, the last week of August. Anything going on nearby that week?

Are there any contests/shows near Indianapolis over Labor Day Weekend? My wife and I will be in Anderson that week.

I like to use the original name brand Easy-Off. It's great on enamel (brush-painted old kits). I've not had any luck with Super Clean or Purple Power. Never used brake fluid. Scale Coats from the model railroad world has good reviews. I personally have used Testors ELO with excellent results (follow the instructios to the letter though).

Your work on this is amazing! I have a '69 Camaro convertible with the same issue (it's in my "maybe later" pile).

Wow, talk about super-detailing! Excellent build, sir!

That is absolutely beautiful!

Excellent story on a beautiful build!

Wow, I wish I had a fraction of the patience required to pull that off!
