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 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.

I finished my Jaguar XK-E Coupe. It is painted with Dupli-Color Forest Green Pearl with a Tamiya AS-15 Tan interior. It features a wired engine and built box stock.

Thank you Larry! -
My '82 Dodge Street Van is complete! Painted with Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green with a Tamiya AS-15 Tan interior, side pipes from the '68 Pontiac GTO, factory wheels from the '78 Dodge Little Red Express and decals from the '70 Plymouth Roadrunner.

Thanks Michael!

While I had the paintbooth up and running, I painted the Ford GT. Looks good, but there are many body parts to this model! I hope got them all!
-
I added the hood to the rest of the car and it is tight! I may leave as it is instead of trying to loosen it up.

Thanks for the message, but I have some made from clear packing material. Thanks anyway! -
Thanks Carl! I'm sure it is worth some money for it.
-
Like I said, it was a gift and a surprise gift it was. I had no idea that it was coming and boy, did he deliver! I just need to get back to it and finish it.
-
Nothing right now. Just a stand alone build. To be assembled and painted and displayed.

Michael, I sent you a PM. -
Thanks Carl and Anton!

This was a gift from Jeff Elliott of the Classic Plastic Model Club. It is a 392 Hemi that was printed. In all, it took me about 10 minutes to get the engine block and the oil pan separated and assembled with superglue. It took a bit of cutting and sanding to get these parts together. This is gonna take a while.
