Thanks. Later- -
Ok. I need you to send me some info on how much that was. Too cute to not get one. My wife even likes it! Later-

That looks amazing in that color combo! I also love this body style of RX-7. I have one I've finished and promptly bought another. I have thought of getting this issue before but haven't yet. I may have to now. Later-

I like the looks of it. My kinda building. Plan as you go. Later-

Just won this off of eBay. Can't wait to get my hands on it. Later-

So, I spent some time last night adjusting the suspension to get it low. I cut the rear axle free of the leafs and added lowering blocks. Up front I cut off about half of the mounting tab length for the cross member/ a arm piece. I mounted it all up using a spare body. I think it looks pretty good. First pic was about halfway through the adjusting. Second pic is all done. Later-

Looks good! Here is mine after 10 min. I included aluminum bezels made from tubing and Pledge for lenses. Later-

Got these in the mail yesterday from Best Model Car Parts on eBay for current and future projects. If you haven't ordered any of these I highly recommend them. He has a wide selection and they are cheap. They are not decals but have to be cut out and white glued in place. I've used them before and they add a lot of realism to the interior. Later-

Got my end of a couple of trades with Russell C and Rich Costello. Thanks guys! Would trade anytime with either of them. Later-

Yeah. That's about the look I've got right now with lowering blocks but I need to get the rear a bit lower. I may c notch the frame and move the leaf springs inward to be able to mount them up higher on the frame. I think I'm done for today. Later-

Good morning! I'm still plugging along on this during breaks at work. That's why progress is slow. I got the dash and wheel completed, with the exception of the gauge decals. I am waiting to get them from Best Model Car parts. They should be here in the next day or two. The steering wheel and column are just sitting in place. Because I painted the body a couple of years ago I didn't think about the chassis fitment. In order to get the front suspension lower I needed to redo the front wheel wells. I know the sequence of events is completely wrong. Oh well. I cut the wheel wells out and redid them with trimmed down wells I had laying on the bench from an 84 Chevy pickup. Once I get this all done I will tape off the engine bay and spray it yellow. Later-

Got a few things last night in trade with a local guy. 5 complete kits and this 60 Mercury Park Lane. Also got a few sets of Modelhaus tires in the mail too. Later-

Glad to hear you got it Russell. Glad I could help you out. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your build. Later-

I LOVE it! Definitely something different and the black paint is gorgeous. Later-

I understand about losing interest. A build has to be fun and catch my attention or I can't stay with it long. I always manage to come back to it though. Later-
-
Very nice! I'm in need of one or two of those. My current one is almost full. Later-
-
Very nice looking build Jerry! The work you're putting into it is paying off. Later-

Getting a quick look this morning at how it might sit. Later-

Thanks David, I still need to detail the steering wheel. Going to chrome the center cap.and paint the wheel white. The headlight rings are from the 56 Ford Victoria kit. Later-

Got some work done on the tires and wheels. I need to let these thoroughly dry before I mess with them and botch something. Later-

Thanks guys! I am excited to get back to working on Josephine. Later-

Got the body wet sanded and polished. Got to touch up the BMF and do the Molotow around the side window frames. The dash is done with the exception of the dials. I ordered decals from Best Model Car parts. Working on the steering wheel and column. Later-
