Russell- Nice build of a great old kit. I used the one I had for parts for a drag T. The engine, tires and wheels and modified suspension were sacrificed. They were such great parts that I had to buy a second to build. I wish that they would bring this one out again. Looks good. Thanks for sharing. Later-

Nick- That turned out great! Nice work on it. Where did youget the grille? It doesn't look like one I've seen in any kits. I could be wrong though. Later-

Wow. I really like the work you are doing on this one. My two cents is for the body line in the doors(helps break up the flat expansive sides) but not the ones that were in the front fenders. Keep at it and let us see those progress shots. Later-

Harry- I agree that it does have a lot of similarities to a 37 Ford to say that it may not have been an ORIGINAL design idea on his part. However, I do believe that he is a very fine designer with some very creative designs. Haven't you seen the one called Hemisfear? What a beautiful creation it is. Just my two cents. BTW- Curt, It is a good thing that you listened to "She who must be obeyed". Look what you've got to show for it. And, yes, it looks great in that color. Later-

AND, as a plus, it's lemony fresh! Thanks guys. I knew there was a reason I posted this question on here. I'll start with the water and alcohol(water for the model, alcohol for me ). If I need to go further I'll try the finishing compound on a Q-tip. Then, maybe just to see how shiny and fresh I can get it I'll try the Pledge. Thanks again. Later-

OK guys. Thanks for the replies. I think, though, that I may have not been quite clear enough. The fingerprint smudges are not in the paint. They are just the little oil smudges you get from handling the dried body when applying BMF and such. I painted the model using automotive spray paint from NAPA, then clear coated it with Tamiya clear. After it was dry(6 mo), I BMF'ed it and then I brushed gloss coat lacquer over the BMF(it was old and didn't want to stick well). Then I superlued the parts such as taillights, rear bumper and gas cap. Now I want to clean up the smudges and any fogging. Are your tips still the way to go, or can I just clean the smudges with soap and water and do something else for the fogging? Again, thanks for any help. BTW- this isn't going to be a contest winner by any means, but I just want the best possible display model I can get. Thanks. Later-

Nice body lines. It blends well together. In regards to your paint job Krylon sells a paint called Fusion "Mystic Prism Effect" that does just about the same thing. You spray on a base coat-usually Gloss Black, then spray the Fusion over it. I used it on the Supercoupe below and it looks great in the sun light. Later-

I just finished a 65 Mustang and it has some fingerprint smudges and light fogging of the paint on the rear panel from super gluing the rear bumper on. I have some Tamiya Finish Compound and was wondering if I can use this to clean up the body. How do I go about using it? If it can't be used for this, how can I clean the body in the best way? Possibly all of the marks can't be fixed , but I'd like to do the best I can. Any help would be appreciated. Later-

Wow, Fletch. Those are looking great. I liked #1 and thought that it couldn't get better. WRONG! I like the subtleness of the black SD. The red pinstripe really adds to the look. I like the work you have done on #3 too. Nice top chop and Z'ing of the frame. Can't wait to see it finished. So, did you buy like a case of these 32's? Cause I didn't manage to get a one. Keep us posted and let us know how they do in the Billetproof contest. Later-

I agree. Nicely done builds. I, too, would like to see some individual photos of your builds. Later-

Count me in too!! That turned out great. I love it. Later-

Fletch- I agree. I bought this S.Co.T blower set up many years ago from Norm as my first resin aftermarket piece to use and I put it on a 36 Ford Rat Rod. It was a beautiful piece and I was very satisfied. I need to buy another one soon. I have many parts from RMCoM and all are great. I agree that if you are not doing business with Norm, you are missing out. On to the build..... Great work. I love everything you have done. It all works well together. Let us see the other two. Later-

Albert- I must say, I like your parts box and imagination. Looks good. Thanks for the inspiration. Where did you get the "Chevy Wildfire" decals? Later-

I'd say that it was a great score! I know I'd be delighted. Congratulations. Later-

Bville- That looks great. The chop and paint are flawless. I can't wait to see this one finished. Keep it up! Later-

Looking good so far Glen. I like the mods you have made. What brand and color of silveris that? That is a nice set of tires and wheels. Let us see it when it is finished. Later-

Proof positive that a person who speaks many languages is multilingual, a person who speaks two languages is bilingual, and a person who speaks one language is...... American. Something I learned from my 8 1/2 years in the military. Later-

I must say, a beautiful build. What parts of the build gave you trouble and what do you attribute it to? Just curious if it is things to look out for in the build. Anywho... Great job. Later-

Nice job so far. Are those the kit supplied tires and wheels? I have a set of those and have wondered what kit to put them on. I've had them for years now (since the early 90's?) As of yet I still dont have a kit to put them on. They came in a Fujimi wheel package -"Porsche OZ wide", or something like that. I'll keep an eye on this one to see how it turns out . Later-

I found the info I needed in the form of a 70 1/2 Camaro sitting in a parking lot today. The door locks are the standard chrome type, flat topped with chrome rings. The other thing that I was unsure about was the location of them. I thought that they were placed towards the reazr of the door but they are actually about 6-8 inches forward of the rear edge of the door. More in line with the rear of the front seat. My wife was SO happy that I had made her turn the car around to go back and look at it. Her expression: My expression: Later-

A beautiful build of one of my favorite subjects. Can't wait to build one like it someday. Later-

Does anyone have photos of, access to, or knowledge of the door locks on a 70 1/2 Camaro. Are they chrome or plastic to match the interior? How about the rings in the top of the door panel surrounding the door locks? Any help?

Beautiful.....but maybe it would look better w/ a white top????? Either way, that paint is gorgeous. Gonna look great once it's finished. Later-

Simply beautiful. And Yes, nice color choice. Keep posting photos. Later-

Double D's (I like that) - Nice job on the body work and Gasser style. I am really glad that you described how you did the lace paint job. I've been contimplating it for a while now and didn't know it was that simple. I was out in my garage the other nigt going through some of my daughter's old boxes. I came across a piece of lace about an inch and a half wide by 8 inches long and I put it on my model desk. I had planned on trying it. Now I know that feasibly, it will work. Thanks, and again, beautiful work. Later-
