Thank you Jeremy!

The Story As McNally drives down to a pool hall called Sticks-n-Cues, he wonders about the chop shop he just left. They seem to be running a fully functioning body shop, but how are they processing the chopped cars without getting caught? Apparently, BPD Auto Theft suspects them as a chop shop and they got someone undercover in there, how did they come to suspect them? Could the Chevy Pickup be there? He may have to find a way in there for a peek. The Build I removed part of the inner fenders to enlarge the fender wells and I cut out the new inner fenders. McNally will return...

Yes, there are. I chose to more popular of the two. I painted up the 2-way radio and the body and hood yesterday. Now to wet sand the paint and remove the trash and dog hair. The engine is in-process and the chassis is complete with suspension and wheels and tires. More to come...

I did some priming and painting this morning to get the Striped Tomato ready for paint and assembly. And, it's time to clean the paintbooth and replace the filter again! More to come...

Thank you Jeremy! Even out-of-box, it's a good kit. I just had to change a few things.

Thank you Ron!

Thank you guys! This truck was well worth the effort I had put into it. I do need to go back and make a change or two on it. I need to darken the door lines and rub out the bed fenders a bit more.

Thank you Steve!

Steve, I have known about the mis-leading instructions for some time now. I believe it was Fury3 who had told me about them and I am grateful for him to passed on that knowledge (well, some of it at least) to me. I looked at the instructions and said, "Oh yeah! He's right!" and corrected my mistake. I think that error also extends to the '70 Super Bee as well, but I'm not 100% sure. Now, I look over the instructions before building and if I see an error, I research it and make note of a correction on the sheet.

Thank you Carl!

This is my Foose FD100 Pickup painted with Testors De Ja Blue One Coat Lacquer with a Tamiya TS-48 Gunship Grey interior. The suspension has been modified to eliminate the two metal axles for a more realistic approach. The wheels were stripped of their chrome and painted with Tamiya TS-42 Light Gunmetal and Molotow Liquid Chrome. The engine is wired with a MAD distributor.

Thanks Jeremy and Todd! I have finished my Foose FD100 and it is posted Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have taken the time to comment and to view my WIP.

Thank you Jeremy!

I get my mesh from K&S Engineering at my local hobby shop. http://www.ksmetals.com/

Ok. I'll bite. BMF what? I have used Bare Metal Foil and Molotow Liquid Chrome on this '69 Road Runner. Thanks guys! I knew I could turn a '69 GTX body into a '69 Road Runner and it came out just as I had envisioned! drodg, Keith Marks doesn't offer a set of decals for the '69 Road Runner. But, I might be able to use some from the '68-'70 Road Runner decal sheet for the doors and the trunk lid. It's funny, I was looking through my decals for another project and found a set of decals for the doors of a '68 Road Runner. I cut them apart and installed the on the doors.

I spent part of my day wet sanding and polishing the Foose Ford. I decided to add some Testors Wet Look Clear to the interior bottom, the bed, and the running boards. Now it's on to final assembly! More to come...

Thanks Jeremy! My '69 Road Runner is finished and Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who took the time to view and to comment on my WIP.

This is my AMT '69 Road Runner that was converted from an AMT '69 GTX kit. It is painted with Tamiya TS-20 Metallic Green with a Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black interior featuring embossing powder for carpet, under dash gauges and the steering column mounted tachometer. Magnum 500 wheels and a Hurst shifter with T-handle from my parts box. I scratch-built the radio antenna on the right front fender.

I am aware that Barrett-Jackson is providing their services of auctioning off the vehicle, and that they have standards for certain vehicles to be auctioned off, but I do wonder when I see a vehicle going across the block with straight panels and no wavering paint, if that car or truck is solid metal or half filled with filler? Prospective buyers do have the opportunity to view the vehicle that they are interested in. I would hope that vehicle is solid metal.

I've been watching off and on during the past week. It got me to wondering about those shows where the guy wants the super nice looking car he bought online without looking at it, the shop worked on it and when they tear down the car, it is loaded with Bondo!

My '69 Road Runner is nearing completion! More Mopar to come...

I got the Road Runner foiled this morning. I used a combination of Bare Metal Foil and my Molotow Liquid Chrome pen. More Mopar to come...

Detail Master only has one photo of their DM-3220 Tachometer Kit 5". The other tach they have listed, DM-3225 '60's Style Tachometer, has no picture. Maybe contact them for a description unless someone else has a picture?

I live with two dogs in my house and my Golden Retriever is always in a constant state of shedding. I am constantly vacuuming my house and still, the dog hair is everywhere. That dog hair was an errant hair that found its way onto the hood and fortunately, the paint was dry at that time. I think I'll finish building the '69 Road Runner and deal with the hood last.

I got the body ready for primer. I just need to wash it of all contaminants. I painted the engine block with Model Master Acryl French Blue. My friend Paul offered to drill out the distributor cap for plug wires. I removed the supports for the suspension and will replace them with coil springs offered by my friend Barry. Since the wheels from my parts box have more offset, I am modifying the wheels backs for a better fit. More to come...
