Nice color!

Plumbed fuel system with braided line, fittings, installed grille, front bumper, valence. I have to redo the BMF on fender lip

Looks great. I agree, MCW paints are awesome.

Installed rear bumper, scratch built fuel pumps, filter, driveshaft safety loop. Next: plumbing from tank to pumps, filter, then backing plates.

Coming along nicely

That was the one I meant. It does work, I used it in my 72 Demon build that is ongoing. On a resin body like I am using, it took a good bit of file work for good fit.

Do yourself a favor, give that Rustoleum to a friend to use on his outdoor furniture. If you insist on using enamel paint, you can only use enamel based clear. With a hardener in it you could probably go with a urethane clear. If you go with what you were using previously, you will continue to have epic fails. Honestly, I would look for a lacquer paint that matches your color. Lacquer dries quicker, is easier to fix mistakes and handles all the clears. By the way, another option for paint removal that works really well is 91% isopropyl alcohol. I hope this helps you

Outstanding build. The paint is fantastic. Great detailing, love the six!

Beautiful build. Great paint, foil work and detailing.

Outstanding! It looks so realistic.

It really pops with the decals, brings it together nicely. Lookin awesome.

There is a very good tutorial on this in the main index. You can look up door and trunk hinges

Nice! Nice application of that gold, not the easiest of colors. Looks great

Here is my thought on the moldings. Using fine line tape, extend the bottom trim line to the point you want to intersect with the curved vertical trim. Then again using layers of tape, one against the other, following against the curved vertical trim until you get to the intersect point. This way, there are no cuts to be made, the same curve is still there, then you can use a few thin strips of styrene bent to proper shape against each other. Or, you can trace the taped out shape on to a piece of sheet styrene of the same thickness and glue that down to body. Then just shave away the unwanted old trim areas. One thing, as you extend the trim, it will get to be too fat, as it keeps getting wider as it goes rearward. You will have to shave it to keep in proper order.

Thank you

A big thumbs up!

Under hood pretty much wrapped up, I’m thinking about doing some wiring harnesses down the road. I wired starter, solenoid, ground. I ran fuel line from rear to cool can, then to scratch built fuel pressure regulator. I ran braided line from regulator to carb and nitrous system fuel solenoid and from nitrous tank up to nitrous solenoid. Hoses were made from solder and heat shrink. Mopar orange box, Accel Super Coil, cool can and engine/ carb are from VCG Resins

That radiator should be a museum piece! I’m simply floored.

Great looking paint

I am in love! I am a sucker for a Dusenberg, and the paint on this is simply out of this world!

Great details, sweet paint. Very nice indeed.

Great build David! The issues, paint all were overcome nicely! Looks great, eye grabbing in that color.

Nice save! Looks nice and period correct.

You nailed it in that blue. Looks great.

Agreed, cool Merc. Nice outdoor photography as well.
