Those are PERFECT! PM sent. Later-

Thanks for the reply. I sold that kit off last year so I won't need them. Later-

Yeah. Unfortunately it still wasn't enough. My clearcoat wasn't cured enough and the tape stuck to it. Pulled some of the paint off in a couple of places and major bleed through in others. So much for me finishing this in 48 hrs. The body is in the stripper now and this project will get finished another day when I can let the body sit for a week and gas out. Oh well. Later-

7 hrs in (3 AM) and the interior and chassis are done. Just need to install the wheels/tires. The body is in the dehydrator. Tomorrow I will tape off all of the trim and spray it satin black. Later-

Nearly 5 hrs and I've got the final paint and a couple of coats of clear on it. Looking decent! Later-

I'm a bit over 2 hrs in and I have the first couple of coat airbrushed on the body and the chassis painted black. A bit more done too. Later-

Yeah, my plan is the same. Mask and spray the black. Going to have to make sure the body is dry. Later-

My thoughts too. Thanks for your answer. The only other kits I am familiar with are the Fujimi Enthusiast kits, of which I have a few. Glad you could answer the questions. The build-off starts tonight. I need to do some bench cleaning an paint locating today in preparation. Later-

Thank you everybody! Glad you like them. Later-

Thanks again everyone! Much appreciated. Later-

This is the next kit on my bench. Doing a 48 Hr build-off on FB starting Fri, July 19 at 8 PM until Sun, July 21 at 8PM. Going to paint it with an old bottle of Testors Manganeze Brown Metallic. I've been hanging on to this bottle for probably 15 years to do this build. I poured the paint into a bottle and mixed with thinner for the airbrush. I will post pics along the way during the build-off. Later-

Those are a great start. PM sent. Later-

Not sure what kit that is? Got a picture? Later-
-
Thanks! No, the decals were not in the kit. I believe they came from a 55 Chevy. The yellow is Testors Daytona yellow with Testors White Lightning over the top. Thanks. Sorry, I can't remeber. I'd love to have a few more sets. Later-

I just finished my third 37 kit last night. It's not perfect but I love the look. Here is my trio of 37's. I'm done building this kit for a while. Later-

I am looking for the Golden Eagle decals from the Daisy Duke jeep or any other issue that has them. I'd like to do something similar to this. Later-

So, I have a couple bottles of Alclad II Chrome and want to chrome some bumpers. It says it may be sealed with Alclad Aqua Gloss but I don't have any. What have you used to clear Alclad Chrome? Later-

Thank you everyone! It's much appreciated- and, as always, I posted this in the wrong place since it is completed. Later- -
50 Chevy Wrecker
Modlbldr posted a topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I finished this one last night. It was for a two month FB build-off using the 50 Chevy as a basis. You can vote for your favorite at Street Dreams In Scale on FaceBook. Lots of good looking builds entered. I named her "Marge". The bed is the front of the 50 Ford convertible with the custom front clip. Everything from the cab back is scratchbuilt except for the tools. For the seat I glued a candy wrapper to the kit seat with wood glue. Gave it a worn leather look. This was a blast to build.

Anybody? Later-

I am looking for the chrome windshield frame for the IMEX 58 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. The frame from either of the two convertibke kits pictured will work. Let me know what you need. Later-

Thanks. Not sure that I need any yellow lenses. Thanks. The site won't let me open their products list. I was able to open their gallery though. I'll have to see if I can contact them in a different way. Later-

I am building a 50's wrecker and I am looking for lights, spotlights and reflectors and any other parts such as hooks or etc. Pictures for reference of parts (or anything close) needed. Let me know what you have and what you need for them. Later-
