Amen!! Later-

Thanks for the interest guys! I like the work he did on this too. I just wish he would have finished it. I remember when these came out too. I had a co worker who got one. I saw him drive it only a few times. Seems strange to me that you never see them around nowadays. Funny story- Just recently I while driving around town I had the thought that I never see the new (2000 ish) Tbirds. Within the next couple of hours I had four drive by me at different times. Later-

Using one of my buddy's started projects as a jumping off point for my next project. There was some nice work done here but it has a crack and a damaged paint area in the roof above the driver's rear door. There is also a boogered area in the clear coat on the hood. Upon further inspection the bottom line of the tailgate is not scribed level. It rises a bit on the passenger side. I sat for a bit and did some sanding on the hood and roof in order to see what the extent of damage was. I think I may need to grind out the crack in the roof a bit in order to fill it with some super glue and microballoons. Here is what I started with and where I am so far. Later-

Thanks. Just finding a temporary place for them in my garage is keeping me busy enough. Later-

Picked these up yesterday from the same guy that I got the last haul from a few days ago. Seems he is getting out of the hobby. 35ish kits and a few built ups, two compressors (one never unboxed) and an airbrush. Now time to sell most of it. Later-

Picked these up from FB Marketplace yesterday for cheap! All sealed or sealed inside except the 71 Pickup has some chassis/engine parts painted. Later-

Same here Phillip. The Merc body is just the piece I needed. Thanks Buddy! Later-

Luis, Looks like some nice work! Looking forward to seeing the dually come together for sure! Later-

Looking good! Later-

Thanks Steve! I'll have to do some playing with it to see what will work. This is definitely going to need thinned since it is old and is the consistency of gel. Fortunately I have a few bottles of different colors. Later-

I had some resin ones years ago that I believe Replicas and Miniatures did for Hemi motors. Unfortunately they came up missing before I could use them and I have never found any again. Could have sworn they were in a tiny baggie stapled to a yellow card (that's why I say R&M Co of MD. If anybody finds any I'd love to know too. Later-

Reading the label made me think that there was a final (different) color coat to be applied over this. Maybe I misunderstood. Later-

I'll be watching this one too Al. Love this bodystyle. Later-

Does anybody have any experience using this stuff? I found a few different bottles of it in my buddy's paint stash and it looks like something I would like to give a whirl. Reading the instructions it looks like something that goes on between the primer and topcoat? Anybody got any pics of paintjobs using it? Later-

Thanks Fellas! Yeah, I like this direction much better than my last idea. Later-

Yeah, I've done that before. Hopefully I won't have to do that on this. Later-

Thanks Mike! I hate doing the foil. Later-

Sam I Am and I had a Zoom build session last night and I was able to get the side chrome foiled. I also started the repair to the driver's side wing window. It was a much needed time at the bench! Thanks Sam! Later-

Got my end of a trade with thatz4u (Al). Thanks for another great trade! Later-

Same here Rick! Make sure you post pics of the build. I am tearing into this soon with the help of the kit I got from you! Later-

That looks cool! I'll be watching your progress on it. Later-

Luis, This is some amazing work! I love the look you are going for. Can't wait to see it in paint. Will you be selling any of your casts? I'd love to get a cab, chassis and interior. Later-

Got the last four boxes of my buddy's 1/24- 1/25 stuff semi-sorted tonight. Next is to sort through all of the 1/8. Later-

I'll be sorting up until then. I can't bring too much I to the house. Besides, I'm starting to get burned out. Later-

Thanks Sam. Can't wait to get some BMF on it. You busy this weekend? I need a break from sorting.... Later-
