I made some floor board extensions for the outside of the frame rail as the interior tub doesn’t cover this area and it didn’t look right. I painted the frame and interior tub and seats. I also added the 427 decals from Slixx decals, as this was a popular trend to boast what motor you had since the 427 was so new at the time. I really had to rework the headers as one side was lower than the other and the other was too long. I ended up shortening one header, I heated them both and bent them upward to level them out.

Got decals on it today! I guess small progress is still progress…..

Looking great Zippi!

Just amazing! Looks beautiful so far.

Very cool project, you might want to try a monogram thunderbird chassis under it.

Looks great Zippi !

Thanks Daniel, slowly getting my confidence back.

Beautiful weather for painting 77 degrees, 39% Humidity, so I reshot the Hornet. A couple Fisheyes in the roof, but nothing that noticeable, especially after the large roof decal is applied. Im gonna wait for a while before I clear it and apply decals.

Too windy and humid it paint the Hornet, so I concentrated on my 37 Chevy. I got a lot done on the motor new mock up photos.

I love what your doing here. This is a much overlooked kit in my opinion. It’s looking great!

Wow, I really enjoying your builds, very clean, nice work, I love old drag cars, thanks for sharing! Keep ‘‘em coming!

Very clean work, I’m with Snake, it makes me want to build one!

Great builds, as an AMC fan I’m always excited to see these builds, they look great!

Another great build, your really amassing a large collection of drag cars, how many are you up to now? How about a shot of your collection?

Very cool!

I stripped the body, then sanded any and all primer off, repaired the body work and it’s back in Tamiya primer. I’m trying to get my courage up, and some lower humidity and warmer weather before my third attempt.

Thanks Mike, it’s air brushed, both color and clear.

I’m loving you work! It’s gonna look great when finished.

The weather is starting to break here in Indiana so I’m getting a little bench time finally, I got some primer shot on the filled frame rails, and the body is polished.

Very cool builds, I like them!

Amazing detail, clean work, just beautiful! May I ask about your painting on the exhaust?

Great work! Looks beautiful! I normally sant the primer down allowing it to fill small imperfections, then re-prime the areas of the body work. I sometimes have to do this a couple times but the end result is worth it.

Very cool project, great paint!

The Tamiya paint crazed and bubbled. It’s back in the stripper.

Thanks Zippi, I sprayed the Hornet tonight with Tamiya RS 29, Pure White. Fingers crossed!
