Nice haul, KingSix. Those 53 Fords are nice kits. I'd love to get more of them. Later-

I like this idea. This is going to be a good one. I'm looking forward to this. Later-

I'll have to pick some of that up. It has a nice.look to it. Later-

That is a great looking paint job. Can't wait to see how you finish it. Later-

Dr. Cranky- I am sure you'll like it. It is ALL eye candy and none of the fluff. Later-

This is going to be a beautiful build. Your work is so clean and precise. It looks better than the real thing. Nice to see it in a color other than red and black. What color did you use on your seats? Later-

This past week my buddy gave me a few parts. I have spent most of my free time for the past three days sorting through it all. Lots of great useful parts. There are a couple 69 Charger bodies and parts, many 57 Chrysler frames and a couple bodies, an almost complete unstarted Roth 56 Ford pickup, a lot of 40 Ford parts and bodies, many 29 Ford parts and parts, parts and more parts. Later-

I thought the same- with the exception of some issues that will have a couple great articles. But this mag is exceptional, IMO. The guy at the shop has a selection of quite a few issues of Rolls and Pleats. I'm on my way to pick up another tonight and am planning on getting one of each that he has, as I can. Later-

I found this mag at a local shop and I am very impressed with it. The title is Rolls and Pleats. It is the size of the old little pages mags. I don't know much about the history of it but it has just what I like. It is all photos of the cars and none of the tattoos and artwork etc that dominates most of the other mags. I'm alright with some of that , but I buy a car mag for cars. The guy at the store says that they are not very regular in circulation and I went on their website (WWW.rollsandpleats.com) and they are pretty expensive. So I will probably stick with buying them at his shop. Check them out. Great mag. Later-

I've never had this issue. I usually warm it by running it under the tap or stick the can job a pan of preheated water. Besides, everyone knows the best way to warm them is in the microwave...... Seriously though, when I worked for the railroad I was hostling one day when a consist of engines were dropped off on our fueling rack. They were left for a couple of hours or so before I got up in the third engine to find that the road brakeman had left a can of chili on the sidewall heater. There was chili EVERYWHERE!! What a mess. Later-

Wow, Kevin. Those are both looking very good. Nice work on the paint. Later-

I have a couple of boxes of blades with the same package design. Been using the blades though. Later-

Thanks Tom. I'll look them up. Later-

Anybody have any leads on one in 1/25 resin? Later-

Looks like a great little build. Good to see it getting finished. I would think that the grille guard would look better narrowed about an 1/8 inch. Later-

I received some Pegasus Beemer wheels (along with a couple other sets) from "customsrus". Thank you! I painted them with red anodizing paint. I will add some chrome buttons in the center for caps and aluminum rings once the paint dries. I have been making clear lenses for the lights out of plastic from packaging containers. My buddy told me that he found more parts to this kit that I will be picking up tonight. Should be able to get some progress done this weekend. Later-

This is beautiful! I love the color and the stance with those wheels. Where did you come up with the air cleaner? Great job so far. Later-

Oh yeah!! That looks great. Later-

I like the work you've done to get the suspension where it needs to be. I am having the same difficulty with a 65 Mustang that I am putting the chassis from a 97 Mustang Cobra under. I got it back out the other night and think I figured it out once I took a fresh look at it. It is hard to believe that it has been a year on this one. Keep at it. It is such a great body design you have come up with. I'm sure it will look good in the end. Later-

Tom- That is some fantastic work you are doing. It is always difficult to do this much modification to a kit, but when it comes out looking this nice it is worth it. I have a 62 Bel Air that I did the same to and it was a blast. Keep up the good work and posting photos. Later-

I will be getting at least a couple of these. I don't know yet but I may have to start with this body instead of the 55 that I have put a ton of work into to build the 56 Windsor. Later-

James- I'm not big on 69 Novas. I like them, but I think.they are too average. However, I LOVE this one and would proudly own it of it were 1:1. Very nice job. Later-

This is the AMT 63 1/2 Galaxie kit. It is an oldie but goody. I've got one started from about 20 years ago. I still have the top masked off for the Aluma Coupe yellow with white top paint job that I started back then.Every time I pull it out I hope that the tape will come off without difficulty. Then I put it back in the box. If I were you I would get rid of the pipes. They don't fit and look like an afterthought. Other than that, I like it and it makes me want to drag mine back out. Who knows, keep an eye out. Later-

It's good to have you back on this. I missed it the first time around. Your progress is looking great. I understand about life getting in the way. Every Spring I tell myself that I'm going to bust out the air brush and get some painting done. Before I know it we are coming into winter and I still haven't gotten any.done. I have this same kit that I picked up from someone and it has the rear cargo area MIA. I'll have to scratchbuild a new one. Later-

Nice build of a cool movie car. I saw that for the first time at the drive-in. In Mom and Dad's Oldsmobile convertible. Later-
