    I haven't been into a can, but, when I had cans filled at a paint store there was a straw going to the bottom of the can.

    Can you turn the can upside down and run an awl into the nozzle passage? If it's upside down you should only get repellent out, right?

    Looks good 👍

    My friend put 400,000 miles on a '79. These are cool cars. The green will look good. To avoid bare/light spots in the flocking I use the same color paint as the flocking. I do a section at a time to avoid dry spots. White glue works well, but may leave the underlying color visible(primer or body color).

    That would be wicked with an 8-71 blown Eldorado 500 ci transaxle in the back.

    If you want an original looking paint job, remember they weren't very smooth from the factory. All of the cars had orange peel back then. If you're weathering the exterior, it won't matter much in the long run if you sand it. 🪙🪙

    I like mocking them up to see if I like the direction I've started in. Wheel/tire combo, stance, fit, overall "attitude" of the build. Don't hesitate to ask questions, it's a great way to learn.

    That Slant 8 that was installed in the Sidewinder would be killer in there.

    An emblem goes there.

    If it's the common '32 axle, I have an extra one I can send you.

    There's always "just one more thing"

    Great stance!

    Here in North Carolina we called those folks "touched".

    STS will make you what you want. I think Smokey Yunick had a black/gold Catalina that was pretty sharp. You could have "The Best Da__ Model Car Garage In Town"

    We modelers and body/paint guys are very particular about our work. My buddies built this car for a customer and competed for the Riddler Award in '22. They were awarded a Great 8 Pick. The car is PHENOMENAL in person. His remark about the paint "it turned out ok, there's a couple spots....." 🤷🏼‍♂️

    What can I say? I'm an antagonizor 😁
