Super pics. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting those fine pics.

Great pics, Marcos. Thanks for sharing them.

I make use of clothes pins (wood and plastic) to clamp pieces together when glueing.

No new pics, but got the glass installed in the body and the body glued down to chassis. Hopefully it'll be under glass next week.

Awesome buggy. Love the color. Now I feel bad I sold my EMPI Imp this morning. It's on its' way to Texas.

I like the lapel pin idea. Maybe Gregg could get them chrome plated with a water based chroming system that we have heard nothing about.

I've got 3 builds going right now - Deuce coupe, '65 Riviera, and '62 Catalina. I need to clear my big bench for a couple of stained glass dream catchers a customer wants. I need to clean the main shop area because earlier this morning the guy arrived from Texas to pay the balance and drag home my dune buggy. I guess I'll have to change my avatar now. Just got done cutting the grass and need a shower - then out to the shop to work on the coupe and maybe get the basecoat on the Riv or Catalina. Have a great day everyone!

Two years used to be a long time, but I find the older I get the faster the time goes. I'll give you some advise, Nick - DON'T GET OLD!!!

Yeah. I used the optional custom interior from the kit. It would have been nice if the dashboard had better engraving, or maybe I should have cut it out and done something else - next time.

I have no plans on going anywhere. This place is fun, even when the negative, childish stuff gets started.

I'm planning on smooth and low. That's the kit shifter, but it does look big in the pic doesn't it? Maybe I'll switch it out.

Hi Nick. It's HOK Candy Apple Red pearl over gold basecoat. No clear - I just polished wiht Novus #2 and then Model Car Wax.

I wanted to try something different and after hearing from some fellow MCM people, figured out a custom rearend. I tried to make the seats look like leather by painting them with Testor's Leather and then put a coat of brown wash over that. Final color will be HOK Root Beer pearl. This is my first shot at seatbelts. Sorry about the water drops. I had just finished some sanding.

I been working on this puppy for a while. I'm planning to shoot it with HOK purple pearl.

Painted it once and had to go into the purple pond, but it's painted for real now. The trunk will be flocked to match the interior.

Fantastic build and amazing details.

Hiya Murphy. I'm not from MN and don't belong to any model clubs but am glad you found the best model car forum around. You can learn lots of things here, make trades for free, and get answers to many model related questions. Welcome.

I can't believe it! I've been a member of the MCM Forum for 2 years today. I've been building models since 1958 and have never learned so much about building since I've been here. I think my skill level has increased significantly. I've traded with some terrific people, met some new friends, laughed, and have had a thoroughly good time. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of the most bestest model car forum there is.

The package from VWDave arrived today with California Wheels '69 Vette, '67 Chevelle SS 396, and a '67 Coronet. A big thanks to VWDave for trading with me.

Whew! Put some details to a kit. Looking great!

Very nice looking build.

If you want to buy a FORD (Found On Road Dead, Fix Or Repair Daily, F... Over Rebuilt Dodge - NOT First On Race Day)) wait until the 2013 F150 comes out. Pictures of that thing are awesome. I trded my 2003 Ford Ranger Edge for a 2010 Nissan Frontier a few months ago. The Frontier is an extremely nice truck - especially compared to the Ford cheap piece of garbage.

Oh wow! I had one of those Phantoms. I bought it from paper route money when Mom & Dad were at work. By the time they got home I had taken the fenders off, replaced the handlebars with ape hangers, kept the luggage rack and tank and had painted a mint green. I think brand new it cost $50 or $60. My folks were pissed when they got home. Dad threw it in the trunk and went to the Schwinn dealer to return it. No way since I had stripped it down and painted it. They grounded me.

The first photobox I made was from heavy white paper (a Dukefan69 post). The second one I went exotic and used the white board that has foam in the middle. It works for me. I believe there have been other posts for photoboxes here as well. Why spend all the money when you can do it yourself?
