  1. Thanks Stu, I was praying for a miracle fix. Oh well looks like, as you say, bite the bullet and get on with it. The mark on the guard is minor and I think I can polish it out. Thanks for giving me the "bad" news. 🙄😄
  2. Thought I would post this whilst waiting for paint to try on the RX7, and I needed to ask your advice on what to do next with that bonnet repair. I'm really hapy with the finish on the bonnet, well the whole car, so I don't want to have to respray the bonnet for such a small "ding". but don't know how to fix it without doing the repair and respraying the bonnet/hood. Could one of you guys/gals give me an idea how to fix this. Thanks Don Attempted repair - a mess.
  3. Picked this one up, at the right price. Been trying to get this for a long time, but all too dear. Have loved this car since I watched James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause, a looong time ago. Don
  4. Thanks guys, I needed your input. Rusty, yep, the red is not right, a repaint is in order today, and thanks for the nice comment, good analysis thanks. David, thanks, I get what you are saying, the red roof is all wrong, I'll redo it today - black as you guys have suggested - semi gloss then repair the bonnet. Don't know if I can manage a "spot" repair, but I'm gonna try, the paint looks good don't want to ruin it, but first the roof. Don
  5. Genius! you really know yer sh*T Bill.
  6. Need your opinions please. Yep, I got it finished apart from a couple of small items and a repair, my scalpel rolled off the bench this morning, and yes, you guessed it, landed point first on the bonnet. Check the pics, the roof is a flat red (matching trim) to sort of depict a "vinyl" half top. Question is, do I leave it as is, or give it a coat of semi gloss to liven it up. have to admit, I'm not real happy with how it looks right now. It's ony sitting there right now, not fixed/glued. Don
  7. Looking good already Luke. Don
  8. I'm confused. The RX7 post was up and running, and I clicked on new post for the '32 Ford and it went whacko. I'm not a computer guy, so I don't know. Looks like Les sorted it out, so I'll just start a new post for the '32. Don
  9. Good question mate. When I posted this it somehow went into my RX7 post, might need to get one of the admin guys to look into it. Mabe Les can sort it out. Don
  10. Thanks Luke, PITA, don't know why they have to chrome everything. Don
  11. This where I'm at with the RX7. Still a bit to do and the body is in the oven right now.
  12. Looks good Stu, looking forward to seeing the whole car. Don
  13. Lotta work there mate. Looking real good. Don
  14. Can't tell that from real Luke, beautiful Don
  15. Just been going back through some of your builds/paints, now THAT has to be a mirror finish. LOL Don
