That’s a pretty nice item to have. Ironically the two cars just so happen to be on the cover. Does it cover all of the results inside? I also have decals to do the Gas Ronda car as well, but not until I get another kit from the Bay at a decent price. I’ve recently been adding some older rare Johan and AMT kits to my collection, since I’ve had some extra cash.

I’ve never put mine anywhere except in close reach from my bench. Usually hang them on a cork board. I like to use two sheets at a time, one for rear windows, and windshields, and the other sheet for long side molding trim cuts. I found that this method reduces waste, for me anyway.

How long has it been since you asked about them?

Great idea. I sometimes dread when I have to perform this kind of drilling. I’ll definitely be trying this next time.

Thanks for the info, Roger...Just ordered two sheets from BMF directly.

They are already back in the mail being returned. I’m gonna order new ones directly from BMF. I’ve read from other builders that the foil sometimes breaks where the wrinkles were at.

I’m no Mopar expert, but the Moebius 426 Hemi looks pretty darn good to me.

From a vendor on eBay. I’ve bought many from him in the past, and they all were perfect except for these two that arrived today. This package did sit in the USPS distribution facility for almost two weeks with no activity with the tracking number. That’s why I was wondering if that MIGHT have caused the wrinkles. Ever since that Louis DeJoy, general postmaster idiot took over, mail has been getting seriously delayed.

I was just wondering if this foil was sent like this, or could it have happened waiting in the USPS distribution center? I ordered this three weeks ago, from Rhode Island to Pa, and it sat at our USPS facility for over two weeks. I’m requesting a refund regardless, but was wondering if temperature could have caused this? After almost three weeks I am back to square one, with no foil.

Thanks Snake.. I did a version of the Dyno Don car several years ago, and it shows. Kinda sloppy... just not a good looking model.

Thanks everyone.

And you did one heck of a job on it! Looks fantastic, Roger.

I agree 100%. I look at some of my older Galaxie builds, and I always thought the bezels look totally wrong.

Yes. But right now I only have .040 plastic strips that are only .015 thick.They are a bit flimsy, and hard to cement. I’d like to run down to the LHS and grab a .020 pack. I know just cutting some of the thicker strips that I do have is an option, but I’d rather have some nice, straight, new pieces, since my cuts will look like a hack job.

Thank you...The body was cast by Time Machine Resin.

The strip I glued together was too thin. So I had to scribe a thicker piece to use. Glued them in, but due to this body being brittle, it seems every time I touch it, a piece of the drip rail comes off. After this dries, I’m planning on filing the repair to the drip rail down.

Well you did a fantastic job. Love the both cars.

I originally had some strip styrene that I tried to scribe as straight as I could, to make a pillar post. After seeing how bad it came out, I glued some strip styrene together, side by side, to make it look more real. I’m just waiting for it to dry, so I can glue on the new posts.

Sanded the Galaxie rear bumper trim away. This area has no trim on the 300, as it would be painted body color.

The Ford 300 was only offered in 1963, and it was a low option car. Pretty much used for police and taxi service, it had no carpeting, and hardly any chrome trim. But it was offered with pretty much any engine, and it includes the 427. So I figured the less BMF work, the easier it would be. I started this build a couple years ago. I bought decals from SMP and it’s pretty much been sitting around since then. This car will use the Starliner chassis, and engine. Also I plan on adding the Thunderbolt air intake, grabbing air from the inner headlights. I normally don’t enjoy working on resin, but I had to remove the side trim from the resin body. I also filled the front fender trim holes with CA glue, and sanded it down, and finished it off with some putty. Then I used some red glazing putty, which won’t attack the resin like it would styrene, to fill in the little scratches I created from the trim removal. I also have a resin tear drop hood, and a lightweight resin interior which will have a bench seat added.

The exterior is Tamiya Racing White sprayed right from the can.

Very nice builds. I like the gold on turquoise. Looks period correct. Nice touch with the factory chassis markings.

This Falcon looks absolutely perfect. Super clean build. Your body work is top notch.

Blown away on your build. Glad to finally see it with the decals. I understand these kits can be a real challenge to build, and you did an amazing job. I recently lost out on one of these kits in the bay. Big bucks!!!

KILLER VEGA Bruce. Your attention to detail made your build very realistic. I especially like the the way you toned down the rims. I was skeptical on buying one of these kits, but after seeing your build I think I will. Any engine pics?
