  1. So far, so good! Keep moving forward and show what you have done on your Morgan. I built one myself and I noticed the excellent engraving of the wire wheels. Nobody seems to do that kind of work anymore!
  2. I would have never noticed that especially since I didn't know what Rockford's license plate was. Good catch! Thanks David, Ken, Greg and John!
  3. Thanks David! I used the lowered front suspension on this model. Just for the heck of it, I went back and looked at my '71 Satellite and '71 GTX and I lowered the front suspension on the Satellite, but not on the GTX. I used really wide tires on the GTX and I needed the clearance on the fenders.
  4. Thanks Carl! Now that the body has been painted, I can polish it, BMF and final assembly.
  5. I was reminded of the Zombie Mustang 222. 1,000 HP 1,800 Lb. Ft. of torque, 0-60 in 1.7 seconds!
  6. I coated the old decals with Microscale Liquid Decal Film with the hope of saving them We shall see... More NCIS to come...
  7. I masked off the rear bumper and valance and then I painted them with Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black. And, I couldn't resist doing a mockup. I'm liking this! More Mopar to come...
  8. Thanks Carl!
  9. When you say "varnish" I think of a thick gooey substance that is used for woodworking. This does contain Propyl Alcohol and is flammable. It is thicker than water and it did spray through my airbrush without any problems. A 'thin varnish"? Maybe.
  10. I coated the Keith Marks Decals with two coats of Microscale Liquid Decal Film. I'll let this dry for a day or so and then start decaling. More Barracuda to come...
  11. It has been a few months since I worked on the Challenger R/T and I decided to get back to it. I painted the hood, front valance and grille and the body with Tamiya TS-16 Yellow. Now to let this dry. More NCIS to come...
  12. Thanks David! I find that it depends on who you listen to. Some say use the decal over the molded script and some say to remove the molded script before painting and then use the decal afterwards.
  13. I went and finished the grille and front valance with lights and prepped the rear valance for additional stripes coming down from the taillights. More Plymouth to come...
  14. Thank you Bob! Like I tell my wife and grandkids, better late than never!
  15. Looking good John! I want to see what your channeled Roadster looks like.
  16. I wanted to add a tachometer and I had a PE tach from Detail Master that I thought would fit the bill. It was a scale 5 inches in diameter and the more I thought about it, the more I thought that it was too large. I used a spare tach that came in the Revell Foose '67 Coronet kit and I detailed that to my liking and installed it. While I was at it, I made an ignition coil and installed that as well. Then I detailed the grille with Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver for the headlight buckes and Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black for the grille itself. More Plymouth to come...
  17. I finished the interior for now. I still want to add a tachometer to the dash. The engine and drive shaft has been installed and the chassis is complete. More Plymouth to come...
  18. Thanks John! Yes, the Six Barrel air cleaner decal is correct, but Revell left off the decal for the 440 4-bbl engine which is included in the kit! We will never know if the Wilwood decals fit since I did glue the wheels on and they were not mentioned in the instructions.
  19. Well, chock up another screw up to Revell. I went and looked at the decal sheet and the decals don't fit the hood since they are a little on the short side. Then I looked at decal no. 6 and then I went to the instruction sheet and there is no mention of no. 6 decals or decals for the caliphers. I wonder what the decals and the instruction sheet for the Revell of Germany kit looks like. I heard that the decal sheet is bigger! I painted the dash and the radiator. The radiator has be detailed and the dash is next. More Plymouth to come...
  20. Thanks Jim and David! I must admit that the paint did come on rather nicely. Better than some of my past paint jobs!
  21. Thank you John! I appreciate the nice words and I am looking forward to seeing your '29 Model A!
  22. This afternoon, I wired the engine, added exhaust manifolds, heater hoses and decals. I need to add an ignition coil. Then I painted the bench seat, steering column, radiator, dash and the body. More Plymouth to come...
  23. Thanks David! i used Model Master Green-Go (aka Sassy Grass Green) for my paint. I had a partial can that started to leak and I tossed it in favor of a new can that I bought a few years ago and it hadn't started to leak yet. I need to get the body and interior painted!
