I love me a yellow five-seven, and this one is NICE! I got to experiment with the turn signal amber now.

That is a gorgeous color, and a very nice model!

Custom seats from AMT 57 Ford: 20.5mm W x 31mm H x 31mm D. Could file down the headrest and reshape as needed.

Happy to help, and you shouid be good for short term like that!

Seems like there was a kit with a TH350 that had a separate ribbed chrome or aluminum pan on the chrome sprue? That ring any bells with the gurus here? I may be thinking of a TH400, but it seems like it might have been a Monogram 1/24, but it escapes me at the moment... Interesting all choices so far seem to be short tail shaft only!

If by "mix a quantity", you mean add thinner and store, I'd advise against it, as most paints don't keep well once reduced or thinned. If you're just decanting, what I've done to seal up glass paint jars more effectively is to cut snug fitting discs of soft plastic to tuck up inside the lids. I keep the tops from coffee, oats, etc. for that purpose. They provide a nice friction free seal, and paint doesn't stick to them and bind.

Oh yeah! Very cool build.

NICE! love that shade of yellow, it's perfect for this car. You really captured the flavor of these racers. Well done!

Oh, sorta like Chevy's "Longhorn" trucks of the late 60's/early 70s?! Good to know.

Man, that thing is SHARP! Nice save.

Beautiful! Love the gold paint!

Will be following along...

What am I missing here? What is the issue with the kit bed? Nice project, by the way!

Good start, will be following, as I have one of these in roughly the same condition.

This is gonna POP when you get the chrome foiled!

Cool start, that yellow looks almost exactly like GM's Butternut Yellow on my screen. It looks nice on the Z!

This is fun!

Nice! I especially like the motorcycle and side-car. That green is beautiful!

Love it! Nice concept, smooth execution, gorgeous color choices; everything needed for a successful custom!

Love the fade-away paint! Nice job.

Beautiful wagon you created here; looks better IMHO than the Alternomad ever did.

Very nice work!

Nice looking build!

Great to see a nice candy red like that; just beautiful. Very well done!

Cool idea, can't wait to see the outcome!
