Looks real nice. I know for me, I have problems when I rush things too. Especially paint. Perry

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

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

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.

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

Looks nice. Saw a bunch on Trans-Am cars last weekend at Road America. The Javelins were the class of the field, fast. Perry

Very cool. What color will it be? Perry

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

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

Got the car right, missed the year. Perry

Happy to help Les. Keep me in mind and I’ll let you know if I’ve got something for you. Perry

Looks like a Lotus 7 type kit, perhaps a Panther? Perry

Pretty car. Perry

Finished and delivered. On to the next one. Perry

Thanks guys. I am a slow builder. But, I'm still building, so that's a plus. Perry

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

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

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

Really pretty, clean. Like the boat tail Riviera in the background. Perry

Nicely done. That would look cool in 1/16th scale too. Perry

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

Really pretty build. How did you get the chassis to have that grayish look? Really looks nice. Perry

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

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

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
