Its the lighting, not fogging.

The color is a non-color shifting paint that I know of. It is Dupli-Color Amazon Green Metallic.

The chassis is finally completed. The front tires will be changed for a different set from my parts box.

Thanks Tom! The paint is a metallic, but it does look like a pearl was added to it.

Thanks Carl and Bill!

The more I looked at the interior tub with the bucket seats and console, the more I want to separate the seats from the console as they are one piece. I separated the seats from the console and will fill in the missing piece on the right seat and the console. It would have helped if I didn't glue in the seat assembly like I did.

I used Model Master Gray Primer Lacquer that I had left over from a previous project.

That paint is Dupli-Color Amazon Green Metallic.

I thought ModelCarsMagazine had gotten itself back on track, but that doesn't seem to be happening. I am holding off on renewing my script with them. Maybe I start a script with Auto Modeler Magazine. They may be new, but at least they are on track!

The paint was also flying on the '97 Mustang GT. Have a look...

Paint was flying today as I had painted the body, hood, rear panel and the chassis of the Blue Bloods '71 Chevelle.

Thanks Topher and David! I have the '61 and '62 impalas painted in that blue and I want to add a '63 to it as well. I guess I have a "thing" for that blue. LOL

Same color combo as mine. Good job!

My contribution to the Classic Plastic Model Club Club Challenge-Revell 1963 Chevrolet Impala SS. To be painted with Dupli-Color Light Metallic Blue inside and out like my 1961 and 1962 Impalas. I have until October 5th to finish this when we have our Exhibition. I just have to decide on which version to build.

Hi Don! Thanks for your interest in my U.N.C.L.E. car. I have lost interest in my U.N.C.L.E. car. The project was taking me so long to finish, that my interest in the model just up and left me. This is to say that my interest wouldn't return some day. It has left me.

Thanks Rich! I started thinking that there was an extra rear axle in the kit and a little research got me the information that both axles are the same except the differential cover. The gold really does look great!

Thanks Carl and Richard! I figured out that if I use the second axle in the kit and use some of the parts from the W-27 axle, I wouldn't have to worry about lining up the three broken axle pieces and pinning them together. I just added the center hub of the rear axle and all is fine. Thank you Google.

It has been a while since I have paid any attention to the Revell 442 that is on my bench. I notice a dip on the right side of the rear suspension and proceeded to take the suspension apart and in the process, I broke the rear axle in two. I am trying to figure out how the axle got that way and repair it. Something didn't go in right!

Thank you Jim, David, Jeff, Carl and Larry!

The completed 454 CI engine with wiring.

I have finished my F-150 Raptor and it is posted in Under Glass. I would like to thank all those who have viewed and/or commented on my WIP.

The Raptor has been done for a while now, so here are some finished pictures.

The 454 CI motor is complete except for engine wiring. All touched up, too!

Thank you Craig! The pictures are appreciated. I have pictures of the car in question as well. As I go through this kit, I am finding parts that the instructions do not have any recollection of. I can use the extra air cleaner and distributor, but there is also the high rise intake and small air cleaners, fuel inlets and filters in the kit that the instructions don't call for or list. I have begun work on the grille for the '71 SS and so far, it is not bad. Some more work, a little paint and we will be golden!

Bill, I plan on adding styrene strips around the headlights, side marker lights and the grille to return the grille to a '71 style. It won't be perfect, but it hopefully it will be close. I hope to be using .010 X .030 styrene strips,
