  2. Thanks Tim. Tim was very understanding and I appreciate the opportunity to trade with him, he is a recommended trade partner. Hope we can trade again.Thanks again. Perry
  3. Count the tubes on the headers for a clue also. Perry
  4. It's that secret Aston Martin compact they've been talking about. Perry
  5. Take a look at Grand Prix Models online, from England. They may have some wheels and tires. Perry
  6. Had a great trade with Ralph Henderson. Thanks Ralph! Perry
  7. Great trade with AFX. Thanks. perry
  8. Thanks guys. Wish it was shinier, but it's an old pickup. Perry
  9. Finally finished this one. First pickup I've done. Fought me a bit. Had trouble with a clear coat. I use Krylon gloss lacquer and it crazed some for some reason. I've used it before and it worked great, and it dries hard and fast so you can sand and polish it. Pretty happy with it and I have another so I may do a custom. Cut some little pieces of basswood for lumber. Gotta haul something. Perry
  10. UPDATE! I received my 67 Mustang Coupe from Jeff. It looks fantastic. I apologize for jumping on you Jeff. I hope whatever issues you face resolve quickly. I recommend Jeff, his quality is great. Just be patient. I hope to get some more from him. Take care Jeff. Thanks, Perry
  11. I agree they are small. I do 1/43 stuff too, and even the big parts are small. A magnifying visor, and toothpicks help. If you set the PE fret on masking tape, painters tape, then cut the parts, they don't fly. Just take an Xacto knife under the part and slowly pick up. Having a PE folding tool is great too. Perry
  12. Looks great, turned out well. I have a couple of these, the Ebbro version and the 1/12 version. I want to day a Rob Walker livery on one of these. One day. Perry
  13. Thanks for the tip. Didn't mean to crash this post... Carry on. Perry
  14. Another update. I will have to try some more charcoal on the seat. It seemed to tone it down some, but not enough. Have it up on 4 wheels now, I weathered the bed rails a little. I like the PE set for this, except the nose of the hood. Not quite right, but OK. Perry
  15. Sharp, like the two tone. Perry
  16. It effectively lengthens the body and keeps the air on it longer and smooths it out. With the square boxy bodies, the air breaks up and creates turbulence, and drag. Same idea as diffusers for the underside on a lot of cars today. Perry
  17. Very cool. I am building one stock. I wanted to know how to take the sheen off the seat, and give it a little worn look, more like leather. I am going to try a little artists charcoal and my finger to see how that works.
  18. What's the cost on that? Perry
  19. I wonder if you could do a Mercury Marauder from that kit. Those are cool. Perry
  20. Cool. Like the subject, nice scratchbuilding. Surprised no one said... Book 'em Dano! Perry
  21. Little update, not much progress. Looking for something to take a bit of the shine off the seat and make it look more like leather, a little used. I also put a back on it since it folds down. I purchased some gauge decals from vendor bestmodelcarparts on Ebay. I think they are waterslide, but I can't get them off the backer. I gave a wash to the engine, and highlighted the springs a bit. Need to do some touch up also. Used some PE on the interior, need to paint the peddles. Painting the body has been a challenge. I put a couple nice coats on, and try to clear and it wrinkles in spots. May not be waiting long enough. I'll try to polish what I have. Perry
  22. Jeff, Thanks for the email and posting. Looking forward to getting the Mustang. Sorry to hear it's been a bad year for you, hope you recover quickly. By the sounds of it, because you do quality work, there's more people that want your products. Take care, Perry
  23. I emailed again last week, no response now. I wish he'd just tell me if he's behind. If any of you know him, please ask him to be a bit more responsive. I'm not in a rush, but want to know I'm not forgotten. Thanks, Perry
  24. Here in Titletown we like the tundra frozen. Go Pack! Perry
  25. Thanks Tom. I appreciate the offer. I do have the kit decals, and also a set of aftermarket ones I can use. I will put some Future over them once in place. Thanks too for all the kind words. I am slow, but hopefully will have more done soon. Want to put a back on the folding seat back. If that makes any sense. Perry
