    I stretched the roof of a 49 Coupe to make a 50 Sedan using measurements from my cousin's 1:1 50 Sedan. It's not difficult to do. I kept the 50 trunk hinges but haven't messed with the rest because it will be a VERY mild custom. http:// http:// http:// Later-

    Well, since I'm waiting for my PE harnesses for my RX-7 build I jumped back on my custom Mustang this morning. Working on the fine details of getting the chassis and suspension to fit just right. I'll update with a pic or two once something photo-worthy is reached. Later-

    Well, I need to set this one aside for a week or so. I just ordered a set of PE 5 pt harnesses for the seats. They are supposed to be in on Friday. More updates then. Later-

    Looks great! I've had this one sitting, unfinished for probably 20 years. http:// http:// Later-

    This is looking great! Love the kit bashing. For the rear storage bin you could buy a for sale sign and cut it up into strips . They are just thin flexible styrene sheets that would work great for this purpose. Make a frame like you did with the 1:1 and bend the for sale sign over it and glue with super glue or liquid cement.

    You should recognize it. The kit has done a bit of traveling around the country lately. From you to me to him. Lol. Later-

    Rider, Thanks. I just saw that Apoxie Sculpt at the hobby store the other day and thought that it would work for what I want. I'll have to get some of it. Later-

    Looks like a good resto project and your ideas sound like they will fit the bill. I like the idea of tracking the cost too. Later-

    Thank you Bill! Since I found his videos, over the last month I have looked through the comments on several of his builds and couldn't find the answer. I assumed that it was Tamiya but wasn't sure. Thanks again for the excellent investigative work. He must go through a ton of it. Later-

    Your build is looking amazing! Nice and clean. I love the interior color. Later-

    Thanks Ismael. I need to find a new decal for my roll bar. I noticed Friday afternoon that it was gone. Must have rubbed off when I had it upside down working on the wheels. That's what I get for not sealing it. Later-

    TJ- I'm glad you started this one! I look forward to following along. It should tell me a lot about the G-S VW Beetle I have. Good to know about the brittle plastic. I can't recall ever seeing anyone build one either so it will be good to see. Later-

    That looks really nice! Very creative. Later-

    Does anyone have any idea what putty this guy is using in this second video? I have seen many people ask in the comments section of his videos but his responses are in Japanese. Doesn't do me any good. Sorry about the first video. I have watched many of his videos and he used putty in each one EXCEPT for this video that I included first without watching it. Now I can't delete it. https://youtu.be/bH3jewKyyk0 Later-

    Well, this morning I had a change of plans. I changed the vinyl portions of the interior to black. I think it suits it better, plus gives the idea that part of the interior, such as the carpeting and rear seat has been stripped. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Just need to make the harnesses and install the seats and door panels.

    Today's progress. http:// http:// Also got the front windshield glued in. Later-

    Thanks Scott. Yeah, I believe that I am not going with the graphics. At this rate I should be able to get this one done by the end of this week. That will be completion #4 for the year! Later-

    Making great progress on this lately. Got the wheels and chassis completed. Seats are painted. Just need to finish the dash and door panels and button it all up. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Thanks for looking. Later-

    Nice looking work your doing on this! I like the roof alterations and the colors. I have a rebuilder that I'd like to start on soon. I will be watching yours. Later-

    Wow! You're right. It doesn't come even close. Looks like you've got a 1/25 scale dash in a 1/24 build. Lol. The modifications are looking great though. Later-

    Haven't gotten it yet, but my friend has this for sale for $15. http:// http:// http:// http:// 67 Falcon with a custom grille, and what looks to be a 66 Nova rear bumper. Missing the taillights. I'll be picking it up soon and, perhaps, building a custom out of it. Later-
