After looking at photos of the Lincoln crest, I drilled a hole in the hood for the crest and glued it in. There is no indication of the crest installation on the instruction sheet. The hood doesn't open now and I figured out why, there is a notch on the forward panel before the hood, above the grille and this is the mounting point of the crest. Damn instructions!

Thanks Bob! I just took apart the interior to rearrange the fire bottle. Now it looks better.

Been working interior of the truck this evening, Tach, extra gauges, floor shifter, fire bottle, rear view mirror. Pretty well, stocked!

Thanks Carl!

Thanks Bob!

I have been working on the '60 F-100 off and on for the last several days. I have lowered the front end of the truck to its final position. The engine has been painted, assembled and wired.

Thanks Michael and Carl!

The Lincoln has been painted and the chassis and motor have been assembled. Gosh!!! I even got the exhaust manifolds to line up with the exhaust pipes.

Thanks Michael!

Thanks Carl and Bob!

My new project is the '60 F-100 Pickup.This will have a Tamiya Pearl White and a Tamiya Metallic Red paint job, wheel trim rings and hub caps, and a rodded out engine and floor shifter. I started out doing a mock up and then it is off to the sink and a bath. The front end needs to come down a bit and I have some Revell axle pins so I won't have to stare at the metal axle intruding on the engine compartment.

Thanks Bob! That's all this kit needs is a little TLC.

I assembled the wheels and tires after I painted the wheel backs. Then I added the core support and the firewall to the body. Now it is ready for a bath and some paint.

Sorry David. I didn't mean to forget you. Convertible! Box stock with a wired engine!

Thanks everyone! After the foul-up on my Ford GT body, I wanted something kind of different, but familiar. I've had this kit for about 15 years and it seems simple enough, so it is on the bench.

My newest project, the '65 Lincoln Continental. The project will be painted with Dupli-Color Stellar Blue Pearl with a Semi Gloss Black or a grey interior and whitewall tires. I need something remotely familiar after the mess I create with my Ford GT.

Since I am having so many problems with the body of my Ford GT, it is going back in the box for now and I will start a new project soon. Stay tuned!

Thank you Carl!

It looked great in the pictures before I started assembly. And, thank you for the tips on assemble. I will take them to heart!

I took apart the Ford GT and I started reassembling the Ford GT this afternoon. The body will assembled and covered with Easy-Off Oven Cleaner to removed the paint and repainted in the same color. Tamiya TS-50 Mica Blue.

Take your time and don't rush it! Paint as many parts as possible as some parts require more than one color. Thank you Andrew and Jeff!

I went to assemble the body of the Ford GT and I ruined the body. I may soak the body in Easy Off Oven Cleaner, assemble the body as best as I can and repaint the body. This rots!

Thank you Jeff!

Thank you David, Jim, Lei, Eric and Carl!

Thank you everyone! XYHARRY, I have a Monogram Jaguar XK-E kit in my stash that may be the same as yours. This kit is not the same version that I just built, as that is all new tooling.
