    Got a couple of 3D printed 572's (stock and blown) in today. I think I may be back on track with this one. Going to try to scratchbuild a twin turbo system along with the 572. Later-

    Got these two 3D printed engines off of FB Marketplace. Delivered today. A blown 572 and a stock 572. Now I can get back to work on my 67 Nova Sedan. Going to try to fab up a twin turbo system for it. Later-

    Thanks! I can't wait to get back on it. Thank you! Thank you Sir. I appreciate it. Always enjoyed customizing my builds. I really like the things you do with your builds. Later-

    Thanks! I'm not sure where the tires are from. They were in the box when I got it. Later-

    Man, that is just perfect! Wouldn't change a thing. Great job! Later-

    That looks SO VERY Nice, Roger! I like the wheel choice too. Nice, clean build! Later-

    Kind of my attitude. I've blown a lot more money on worse things. BTW- I have a few built Vettes that I don't know if they are what you're looking for or not. If I can round them up I'll take a pic and let you look. Later-

    Thanks Carl! Got the first coats of clear on and now to let it sit before wet sanding and another couple of coats. Later-

    I played the idiot today! I had looked at a cool old MPC kit on eBay last week and couldn't understand why it wasn't getting any bids. Then I read the listing and the LAST LINE in the description boldly says BOX ONLY. Well, that explained it. This morning it popped up again on my feed with only 5 min left and still no bids. I went ahead and threw my opening bid in before looking again to remember that it was JUST THE BOX! Oh well, $16 shipped is a cheap lesson to learn..... Later-

    Thanks Scott! Can't wait to get this one on the shelf. Later-

    Looks much better this afternoon. I washed it to get ready for clear coat. No more smudges and finger prints. Later-

    Got this resin Duramax the other day. Nice casting. Plans are to add it to this Chevy build. Later-

    Thanks guys for tuning in. Got some bench time tonight and a Zoom Meeting with Sam I Am. I was able to finish the BMF. Not perfect, but then neither am I. I'll clean up the mistakes with Molotow later. Now I can clean the prints and scuffs off the body and spray some clear. I should be able to finish this in my lifetime. Later-

    Thanks Fellas! Great ideas! I'll start with the hole drilling first. Thanks. Later-

    Nice looking work so far Kenneth. What color are you thinking of going with on the body? Later-

    Thanks Claude! I have quite a few concept builds that are half built and hope to get going on them. Hopefully they will turn out half as nice as your builds. As a matter of fact I'm going to send you a PM Later-

    Will do. I got it for $40! Not a bad price. Great score on the cedar wood too. I'll have to see if I can find a cigar shop in town. Later-

    Thanks Ray. Later-

    Got this in the mail today. 64 Grand Prix. Brush painted but it is in great shape. My.plan is for something similar to the one I found in a magazine. Later-

    I shot a quick coat of primer on the body this morning. Looks like I still have some issues with the crack in the roof. Or, it's just my eyes seeing something that isn't there. It definitely needs smoothed out but not sure if the crack is still present. Looks like my work on the rear pan turned out. Just a slight bit of ghosting. I'll let this sit a couple of days before I start sanding on it. Time to work on more of the interior and getting the top of the engine figured out.

    Time to bump this back up to the top. I started work on this one again since I am so close to being done. Been getting the BMF done around the windows. Got probably one more session at the bench and I'll have the BMF done. Then I can clear it all and slap it together. Later-

    Very nice work Pat! I like the paintwork. I have an ongoing build of one I widened. Later-

    I'll get ahold of you later after 5:00. Later-

    I took out a rebuilder that I got from Lee Rilea to get the second set of seats. I removed the rear license plate/ exhaust exits from it, cut the ends off and began the molding in process on mine. Here is where I ended for the night. Later-

    Got about an hour in at the bench last night and worked on this. I scribed the door lines on the driver's side to clean them up a bit. Then I needed to do something with the rear pan. My buddy had just left an uncentered opening in the back. Later-
