    Decided to finish the wheel package. This shows my progression of choices...

    It appears to be a 1965 color for GM...so it can be made available.

    No, you didn't miss the color choice...I just never thought about listing it. The interior is MCW Gunmetal Metallic Interior..semi gl. lacquer. The body is Model Master Artesian Turquoise Metallic (4628L) 1965.

    Funny.... I'm actually contemplating doing that. I have a small piece of stock I'm going to try making a cutter for my lathe to remove them to flush or slightly deeper, then either redrill the rims or make a round insert with the lugs. Didn't think about using the hex beads though! Good idea!

    About the same time I got the bodies grafted together, 3d files started appearing. Thanks for your comments!

    Masking tape cut to width, narrow cloth type ribbon??

    New update....both bumpers painted. Hood in background has been done for a bit, ready for wet sand.

    Somehow I thought I posted pics of the rear bumper...guess not! So...

    From Sharon PA show...2 61 Corvair Lakewood Wagon resins, 64-65 crew cab resin , and a Black Beauty!

    Thanks. I actually have a couple different sets of his 5 slot wheels, which of course are awesome, but I'm going for a bit more modern on this one. I'm thinking of Bronco and Ford pickup projects for those!

    New front bumper!

    I believe this is a Tamiya paint stir. I use both ends for application and shaping. When using body glazing, I can also dip it into lacquer thinner and continue shaping a little bit when it starts to set.

    Thanks for all the compliments, I know it has some flaws, but I've learned a lot along the way. These are the tire/wheel choices I narrowed it down to. The resin on the left equal to 42"... they'll work, but it's really tall. I'm prepping the other two sets for comparison, just realized the slotted wheels are only 5 lug... figuring how to remedy that...as I have two more sets.

    Oh...I digress

    Definitely off, it gives better detail of the hood/fender gaps.

    Sitting on chassis...
  17. 64SS350
    All windows are in, as well as interior tub. Back hatch is not glued shut, but tight enough fit I don't want to try to open it. Going to test fit the chassis next and choose tires. I think this is going to end up taller than I expected or wanted. Engine bay is going to have a mold made of it before I slightly modify one to accommodate the headers.

    Sooo, I got tired of trying to make the grill slots look even, and changed to this style. Working on windows also, sides are in, front and rear are next. Hood is ready for clear.

    On way home from Christmas trip, picked up three of these Vette kits, plus my 3rd pair of tweezers came yesterday for Christmas.

    I would start by googling for the dimensions. Either use two beds to get the length or utilize the Suburban body. IMO

    I ordered it Thanksgiving weekend (Saturday) , took awhile to arrive.... unless they were waiting on the fan caps to come in. Didn't get good response from customer service about it... really, no response. Looking forward to trying both new air brushes.
  23. 64SS350
    Got my second new airbrush from Black Friday, now on to making a paint booth.

    I agree with the solvents being trapped under the primer. Could be the thickest area of repair that didn't fully cure. I adopted the practice using thin CA to seal my putty, but I'm using body glazing. It soaks in and fills sand marks also. In addition, I use it when sanding the body, to fill sand marks and destress the plastic. Molded raised areas have a "memory", and will reappear. Anyway, hope this helps.

    Some decals from STS...they recreated from my old ones.
