David, the figures really add to the vehicle. Nicely done.

So why is it the ‘41 Plymouth keeps spilling over into other builds. I think we need to banish that kit for all the anxiety it creates? Anywho, I can appreciate not letting anything going to waste. Nice start on salvaging the ‘63 chassis.?

Love the subject matter. Built one years ago don’t know what ever happened to it.

Beautiful save, came out nice.

Looks nice Donald?

Maybe it needs some weatherstripping along the lower edge to fill the gap and then some baby magnets to hold it in place.

Exactly?

Jim, they will mix custom colors for you. Just have to ask.

If you can’t have fun and laugh at yourself then what’s the point to all this?

Thanks guys, appreciate it.

It works for me as I also use it for full size cars. You can buy it in smaller quantities so you could look into that.

That's normal. He will feel better after his nip, er I mean nap.?

When my Taurus used to stall it meant I needed to clean out the throttle body.?

Yes, MCG-2315. And I see now it has some hood lettering too, I might need that here.

Mike, This is what I used on my recent builds. After I got annoyed with the lack of progress I was making with other clears, which I think is documented earlier in this thread, I went out to the garage and grabbed this automotive clear that was left over from a 1:1 build and never looked back. It might seem expensive to buy a gallon of clear at @ $75.00 but it will last a long time. Jim, I can understand as the term 2K is rather generic and has nothing to do with Y2K. The 2K really means that you need a catalyst or hardener with the clear. I have been using this mixed with the hardener straight for the first couple of coats and then add in some reducer for the final coat so it flows out nice. Wet sanding before the final coat. On this coupe I only had to sand out a couple of blems on the drivers door otherwise the shine is as sprayed. I've done four bodies this way in the last couple of months and except for some fisheyes on the 1963 Plymouth I'm happy with the result. One thing I think is important with this is to have a dedicated airbrush for just the clear. I think that was the cause of my fisheyes. The stuff dries so that you can handle it in a couple of hours and hard as a rock after a couple of days. So if you do have to wetsand or polish it you will want to do it within 48 hours.

Can’t blame the Blue Moon NA?‍?

Alan’s reference to James Bond above. Need I explain further???? As for Monograms T-Bird I have a couple of the original release which was a metal body and at least one since in plastic. Haven’t built any of them. Originally Monogram put out a set of I think four metal body kits, a Jaguar, Vette and I think an MG, I have them all and someday will build them OOB as a set.

You know, it would be fairly easy to install and ejector seat. Come in handy when the wife pisses you off.?

Very nice choice. I always wanted to build a real SHO Taurus Wagon. Used up a number of Taurus' for work and always thought a wagon would be cool.

You'll just have to make one of each.?

Yes, Mike, I like working with the 2K. Thanks for stopping in.

One was actually brought up from South Carolina and he had buck shot in his hind quarters when we got him. So he has a right to be gun shy. I actually like the coral sand with the gunmetal gray top. I was looking through some car show photos and almost every T-Bird has a white top.

Funny how things happen. If you go back to April 22nd in this thread I was struggling with the rear end height of the Woody. Now I'm struggling with the rear end on the coupe. Below you will see the original rear end of the Woody on the left, the coupe rear end in the center and the coupe sans rear end on the right. Both rears are from the AMT it but yet I found they fit the chassis differently. You can pretty much see in the pic the arch is different between the two. Any-who, I simply cleaned up the rear a bit from the woody, gave it some new paint, and stuck it in with some epoxy into the coupe. Now I think our stance is a whole lot better. Now let's throw a few more parts at it and get this bugger off the bench.?

Yes, plenty or thunder I have one dog hiding in the upstairs bathroom and one in the downstairs bathroom. And the deaf one is sound asleep behind me. ?

Thanks Greg, much appreciated. Let's see how it looks with the rest of it done.
