Looking good! And being an Olds powered gasser makes it 100x cooler!

A bit more work tonight done. The interior shot was in progress. I have to do some touch up painting tomorrow.

Welcome aboard Michael! Great folks here and enjoy retirement!

Amazing!

Looking great! I like the green and the chrome pops nicely against it.

That is very nice! You did a great job! Clean and looks ready to run!

I got some primer laid down on my Skyline, tomorrow brings first coat of paint. Started assembling the chassis for my Cannonballer. Refreshed the block paint after sanding some uneven lines after gluing. Got some paint on the 47 done tonight, and some paint on small parts for the interior bucket. Will do more bucket assembly tomorrow night.

Orange one braincell fuzzball ❤️

That's a pretty cool looking glue bomb!

Following this, such a wild story that car has gone through and the work your doing to make it silk purse is awesome.

Thanks! Tbh, I had thought about the no hood, but was like.... let the under the hood be a surprise.

Thanks! I have to do one more coat of murder, then gonna semi gloss clear it. Im hoping for the best on it, but expecting the worst. If it goes well, then it's glass, and the very very few bits of chrome for the body. I have a few more minor bits for the interior to do, and have to mount the engine and then will wrap up the suspension stuff. I wanted something interior wise to pop against the murder.

@catpack68 Beautiful!!

Thank you John! Been doing a bit here and there, plus working on the 3 other kits in process.

Welcome to the forum! That Merc is straight bitchin! I love the colors!! So smooth!

And yes, I used the instructions for that. Didn't want things to not look right, even though you will not see them unless right on top of the kit.

Nice work!! Great execution!

Some interior work today ... me and tweezers .. was afraid I would lose the little buggers I was working on.

Skyline is in primer ... tomorrow should bring the top coat Various other parts for the Cannonballer in color now. Tomorrow should bring more engine assembly and get the frame put together to be a rolling chassis. *If I can decide on a wheel of the 70's*

Yeah, and my city has a large amount of idiots... But I get the point. ^^^^^^ That and we have a big substation in town as well. I didn't know about the lead time .. thanks for the awareness. I appreciate the additional awareness, as I truly didn't think of that. Still irked but not nearly as I was since learning something new.

She was beautiful! I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my boy to Cancer in Nov the last year, and I miss him fiercely.

So, my area has had some nasty pop up thunderstorms last night and today. Normally, they roll in, and roll out, no issues. Last night they roll in and boom power out..... took them 8 hrs to fix the bloody stuff, I get it, takes time. Cool power came on things are good.... Today, the wind blew right before the storm hit, and power out... now I have a transformer on one corner of my block those jokers have dealt with for the last 3 years, (3 years ago it got smoked, and all they did then was blow out junk, rewire it, you can still see the scorch marks on it) Today I see the city electric truck roll by, turn left, and then hear the tell tale, back up alarm, and look out the back door, and hey he's at the same transformer that was smoked then, not even 5 minutes of him going up in the bucket, power pops on. So like, hey city quit being cheap jack holes, and replace the transformer on the corner. I understand repairs take time, but they wouldn't have to constantly fix the same transformer if they would replace it with a new one. So irked is what I was, not mad, agitated or anything else just irked at the choices the city makes.

I got some primer on things, 2nd coat on the 47, 1st coat on the Skyline after it's bath. Got some parts for the cannonballer in prime too. And found out I have an interior package for the 67 two door. But I am using some of the bits from it for the cannonballer. Got some things for the 57 in prime too, shooting to do some detail work this week on the interior to wrap that up and then get the body attached to the chassis. Then it's bumper stuff, tail lights, etc.

I love the Cadillac, kinda wished I had a couple more in my stash, and there is the... where did I put the first one. lol

That's a pretty dang cool tip!
