Beautiful work on this one. Like everyone else, I love the paint color. Got a 69 to build and some early 70's ones. Makes me want to get on them. Later-

I like the idea and how this turned out. Love the paint scheme. My only advice would be to make the front and rear wheel wells match. Looks off without the wheel lips on the rear. Just my $.02. Great work otherwise. Later-

I can understand the cost x benefit difference, but I think that you would find a lot more uses for it. I have been using mine for quite a bit of detailing. I did the small ring in the center of the 56 Tbird taillights and just used it to chrome the turn signal stalk and steering wheel center. I can also see using it for the interior door handles and small bits. I only have the 2 mm tip but plan on getting the 1 mm soon. Later-

Got my Olson Bros resin 66-77 Bronco half cab yesterday! Nice resin. Later-

Looking sharp! Keep it up. Later-

What are you looking for in trade for the 30? Later-

I just ordered mine last night. Can't wait for it to show. Got to get a couple sets of the fender flares. When will they be available? Later-

Just put in my order from Olson Brothers for a resin Bronco half cab. Paid the same price as I did for the kit but that's fine. Now to wait till they post up their fender flares again. Hint hint!! Later-

Great work! Someday I need to try my hand at some Super Stocks. Your work gets me motivated. Later-

Nice work on all of those. Your attention to detail is great. I'm partial to the 66 Impala and the 57 PU. I like the idea of the SS chassis. Later-

Thanks for the comments guys. James- Being productive is great. Being tired at work......not so much. Espo- The interior is a coat of grey primer with a dusting of Testors Dark Sea Blue from a bout a foot or more away. The exterior is a flat grey. I wanted a flat color on the body. In order to do the red decal stripes I had to spray a coat of clear gloss first, apply the decals and them spray the body with Dullcote. It turned out just like I had envisioned it. Later-

Thanks Dan. I can't wait to finally get this one finished. I had a good portion of the BMF done but after kicking it around for so long it looked pretty dull. I spent about an hour the other night stripping it all off to start over fresh. Later-

Nice idea on the reshaping of the side. Something I have not seen tried on these ol Mercs. It gives the rear fender area a look of a custom 53 Ford I have in the works. http://http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr225/Modlbldr/53 Ford Vicky/DSCN5358.jpg http://http://i486.photobucket.com/albums/rr225/Modlbldr/53 Ford Vicky/DSCN5197.jpg Keep up the good work! I'd love to see how this turns out. Later-

I can't seem to sleep and I have to be up at 3:30 AM to get ready for work. So what better thing to do at 10:00 PM than to be sitting at the bench! Most are aware that I have quite a few projects in the works. This is my 66 El Camino that I have had in progress for over a year. I'm getting close though. I just need to do the tons of BMF and put the interior and glass in and glue in the grille and rear bumper. Nothing major. http:// Body is pretty much stock with the exception of Pegasus wheels in red aluminum sleeves for a Hot Wheels red line wheel look and a hood bulge from a 68 Vette. http:// Interior is a mix of stock and 2006 Camaro parts. http:// Engine is from a 68 El Camino kit (I believe). Still need to add the forced air induction to the air box. Enjoy and let me know what you think. Later-

Very nice work. Glad to see that you are back at it. What brand and colors did you use on the body? They look Perfect! Later-

i paid $9.99 for mine from Amazon. Later-

No base coat on it. The broken end is painted over the bare white styrene and the top is painted over the old kit chrome plating. Later-

I understand. The cab is what I really wanted. Give it a go and rebuild!! Later-

Got a few things this week. Got my second 66 Bronco. What a great looking kit. Can't wait to start on one. http:// I bought a Molotow 2mm Liquid Chrome paint pen off of Amazon. Going to have to get a 1mm one now. http:// http:// Here is what the results of the paint looks like. I painted the broken end and top of the broken valve cover. Absolutely matches the kit chrome on the other valve cover. http:// http:// I also picked up this little 1/32 scale guy for $2.50. Not sure what I'll do with it but I couldn't leave it behind. http:// http:// Anybody have a chassis and wheels for this? Later-

Looking fantastic! Great polishing work. The body color is a nice choice. I like that chrome paint too. I just picked up some Spaz Stix chrome. I also got a Molotow brand paint pen that has the most amazing chrome I have ever used. They come in a 1mm, 2mm and 4mm tip. I bought the 2mm and am thinking of buying the 1mm. Great for touching up the sprue connecting points. Later-

Are you interested in getting rid of it? I'd love to take it over. Later-

Looking great. I like the trim work too. I added trim to my 64 Chevy. The sides look too bare without it. Later-

Tonight at the bench is this 66 El Camino that has been in progress for a LOOOONG time. I am working on the exhaust tonight. I need to strip the BMF and start over on it. http:// http:// I am also working on this 64 Chevy. Finishing up the airbags. http:// http:// Later-

Thanks for the replies guys. It keeps me encouraged. I began lowering the front spindles yesterday. I figured it would be best to also raise the center cross member, so I removed it already to raise it. I have a bit of things going on the rest of this week, but I'll be back on it after that. Keep watching. Later-

http:// Here is my side trim. Looks like the front of the door didnt get glued well enough. Ater looking i may not have enough space between the upper and lower trim. May have to remove it and start over on the bottom one. Later-
