Thank you, Frank. Thanks for the suggestion. There is another small round part the axle goes in that I did not include, sorry. I am trying the tires but so far I'm not having any luck making them but I will keep trying.

Hopefully you wont be having any ID10T errors. LOL

I will give the tires a try. I filled the tires in and created clay bases for them. Now they are boxed in and ready for silicone. I have made hollow tires in the past. Removing the clay from inside of the tire once side one is done can be a challenge. HHHMMMM, I just realized after posting this that a materials test should be done. It is possible that the silicone will not like the tire material and will not cure against the tires surface then I will end up with uncured goo.

WOW! I do love Buicks! That is very nice too. I would really rather have a Buick!

mastercaster1@cox.net is best.

Hi Mike, Glad you like them. They are available now.

Thanks, Gabriel, that would be great. Now that I am retired I will have more time to host build sessions. You can come over.

It's a spray bottle called PURPLE POWER. I probably bought it at Wally World some time ago. Here are some pics of the first set. I added a drop of black dye. Might be easier to chrome with one of those pens or alclad spray.

Hi Toner283, So...is the frame useful, or not so much?

WOW!! OK....I will give them a look, been busy. I am considering doing the hood and the chrome inserts and the windshield frame. Perhaps the body itself is good too. There seems to be a lot of good parts. There is another thread about frames, what is this part like compared to other kit parts?

I can most likely do them. I will give them a look. I presume they are not a common tire?

Are the tires good to do?

I plan to do these parts and the windshield frame too.

I mostly sell by word of mouth and posting photos of projects on forums. I would like a site to sell parts on. I don't know how to do that. I am working to get my shop in better shape and getting some amenities installed so that work will be easier. If I were a billionaire, I could book flights and just hand deliver parts to customers. That would be a different way to see the world. Then I could see how customers live in Sweden, Germany, Australia, etc. where I have sent my parts to. I get told I undervalue what I do and how I do it. Anyway, I drive to the PO down the street in Youngtown and pay the price to mail parts.

I used some brand of purple cleaner.

Thanks Scott. Someone asked about the windshield frame. It does look nice.

It is the Stacey David 32 Rat Roaster by Revell. I take a piece of cheap food storage bag and force clay in to fill in the back of the wheel and set it on clay. Then I boxed it in and poured a small amount of silicone in and vacuumed the air out of the silicone so as no tiny bubbles might form in the wheels detail.

The wheels in the SD Rat Roaster kit are nice. I removed the chrome. That yellowish layer is harder to remove that it used to. This kit has a lot of other nice parts too. I really like some of the engine parts and the hood with those chrome things. Has a nice fuel tank too.

You can purchase the plastic polish on Ebay or from the BMF site itself. https://www.bare-metal.com/model-building-molding-specialty-items.html If you are wanting to do resin casting, they have a good price for a one pound pack of KLEAN KLAY. I have seen this stuff listed for much higher prices.

WOW!

Nice, There should be one for plastic polish too. Bare Metal Foil makes the best and most inexpensive that I know of. I have tried several brands. This works great for rubbing out paint too.

Thank you, will do.

will do.

Thank you, Gerry. Not sure, but you might build one as a 68 just for fun. Sure hope you enjoy it.

The one I have is from the MPC kit.
