I finally got the body built, prepped, & painted. It was a lot easier putting that multi piece body together than I thought it would be. I used Testors orange with a black/white interior to match the car on the box. No pictures of the interior yet. They're masked & painted. The chassis is pretty much one piece except for the rear suspension & one piece front suspension. The engine is pretty simple with few parts but It doesn't look to bad. The windshield frame I painted gloss black & used Alclad chrome. This kit doesn't come with a windshield so what's the best thing to use to make one?

Coming home from work a couple hours ago a truck ahead of me kicked up a stone & cracked my windshield. To add insult to injury this is a new $200.00 windshield I had put in 2 wks. & 2 days ago.

I've been down with a miserable case of the flu for 3 days. Everybody has had it around me this winter & I figured by now I beat the odds. But no such luck.

I bought this model 19 years ago without knowing it was a multi-piece body & a 1/32 & never had the courage to try to build it. I figured it's now or never after this many years.

I've been using an old kitchen table in my bedroom for over 20 years. It's fairly big so I've got some room to work.

We're getting up to 15" of snow by tonight with a low of 5 degrees & heavy winds. Spring can't get here soon enough.

About 10 years ago before I wore glasses I was super gluing a part & got some in my eye. I had to take an emergency trip to the eye Dr. He had to numb my eye & dig each little piece of glue out. No fun!

Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could detail as good as you.

My poor wife started coming down with that flu yesterday & is in bed today feeling horrible. As fast as it spreads chances are I'm next.

I have to be at the Dentist in 2 hours for a root canal & a wisdom tooth pulled out.

RIP Joe. So many of the 60's rockers are dying. The boomers were supposed to be the generation that were never going to get old. Don't trust anyone over 30 because they're to old? I only wish I could be 30 again.

I played guitar in several garage bands in my younger days. The first group I was in we called ourselves "The Hydraulic Banana". I still have the electric guitar I got in Nov. '69 & used in most of these groups. I haven't played in so many years It would take me forever to relearn everything.

Congratulations to your niece. I'll bet She has some proud parents.

I got the paint, BMF, tweezers & clearcote from Scale Hobbyist. The paint holder from ebay & the '66 Buick from a local r/c store.

That's what I was afraid of. Thanks.

I've been thinking of ordering one of these from ebay since the price seems right. I need to know if you can use lacquer & enamel rattle cans since I don't use an airbrush.

My Mom's '55 Olds Starfire conv. She had it from 1959 - 61. I was a wee one but I do remember that gorgeous car. '56 Mercury Monterey. I bought it for $40.00 in 1970 & sold it for $75.00 in early '71. I still regret it. '63 Olds 88 conv. I owned 4 of these between '71 & '82.

I got a speeding ticket this morning. 40 in a 25. I was late for work & wasn't watching my speed.

Coming home from work today I come up to a stop light & see steam coming out from under the hood of my truck & a heat gauge on the red. Pull over, pop the hood & It looks like the water pump I put in about 3 yrs. ago has sprouted a leak. :angry:

Here's a pair of '58's & a '59 Caddy. Also a '60 Impala & a '59 Imperial.

I got this from a trade with someone on this forum last Jan. & thought I'd go ahead & give it a paint job & some detailing. Not sure what color to paint it yet.

We've been near 90 with high humidity all week. It's 70 with 100% humidity right now. Better this than the cold & snow that will be here a couple months from now.
