  1. No need to chuck the body. Try stripping first. You can probably get it off, and start over. One thing, try light coats. Let it dry thoroughly between. Perry
  2. Very nice. I hav3 this kit and may have to steal your ideas. How did you paint the hood medallion so nicely? How did you do the wood? Thanks, Perry
  3. Going to attempt a WIP. Here are some pictures of my start. It's a Lotus 79 World Champion kit from Tameo. I'm building Andretti's ride for a friend. The Chassis will be black but the silver is actually polished white metal. Nothing looks like metal more than... metal. Lots of PE and detail. Enjoy.
  4. Following this one. My son has an Acapulco Blue ‘67 coupe. His first car. I got a resin coupe conversion and built his car. The PE is really good too. Perry
  5. Looks nice. Saw a bunch on Trans-Am cars last weekend at Road America. The Javelins were the class of the field, fast. Perry
  6. Very cool. What color will it be? Perry
  7. Do they ever have aircraft kits? I wouldn't mind getting some of what's been shown, but I don't have an Ollies near me. Perry
  8. Got my half of the trade with Les, and was very pleased. He even threw in a couple of extras, much appreciated. Would like to trade with you again if we can. Thanks Les. Perry
  9. Got the car right, missed the year. Perry
  10. Happy to help Les. Keep me in mind and I’ll let you know if I’ve got something for you. Perry
  11. Looks like a Lotus 7 type kit, perhaps a Panther? Perry
  12. Finished and delivered. On to the next one. Perry
  13. Thanks guys. I am a slow builder. But, I'm still building, so that's a plus. Perry
  14. Little more of an update. Got the MCG detail set and added the door locks, gas cap, fender letters and horses. Built an auto shifter. Also made the rocker trim from evergreen and foil covered. Used the Molotow pen for chrome. Getting there. Am going to see him Friday, so need to get it done to surprise him. Perry
  15. I have to say, Jeff is a great vendor. I got my hood, and he didn’t charge me. I really appreciate him doing that for me. I highly recommend him and Motor City Resin Casters. Jeff, thank you for the help. Perry
  16. Bob, I don't recall the timeline now, but it was a few months. I just recently contacted him to get another hood for the Mustang as I messed up the one that came with the kit. He responded right away and said he'd send one. Haven't gotten it yet, but will wait for it. That is top notch to me. Thanks, Perry
  17. Really pretty, clean. Like the boat tail Riviera in the background. Perry
  18. Nicely done. That would look cool in 1/16th scale too. Perry
  19. Slow progress. Some pics of the chassis. Painted, weathered a bit. I made straps for the gas tank from left over pe fret. Also making exhaust tips from aluminum tube. Perry
  20. Really pretty build. How did you get the chassis to have that grayish look? Really looks nice. Perry
  21. Slow progress. Deciding how to fill in gap between back seat and interior panel. Any suggestions? I'll be seeing the car this week and will take some pictures. I like the color of the exhaust header. It's appliance epoxy stainless steel. Perry
  22. Thanks. Yes, I have a complete Shelby GT-350, and a started fastback kit. The vent panels on the outside rear quarters are boogered up on the fastback. None for the Shelby. Perry
  23. Starting on a build to replicate my sons first car, a 67 Mustang coupe. Got it at 16, still has it. He’s 31 now. I got the Motor City Resins coupe trans kit. It looks great. Started on the wheels. They are drag mags from the 60’s. I got some wheels from member 68 short fleet, Jason. I drilled out the windows like my sons. Need to finish paint aluminum. I do need the side vents as the donor I’m using had them glue bombed in. Can’t retrieve them. One question, the resin kit includes interior panels, but the back parts lack detail. Any suggestions? I’ll try to keep up and post progress as I go. Perry
  24. Had great trades with Mike1017 and bismarck. Recommended traders, thank you for the trades, hope to do more with you both. Perry
