This a very good article on the car Mike https://www.supercars.net/blog/1963-ford-galaxie-500-lightweigh

Kudo's for the great build and paint job. Mike

I agree it is the finished product that matters and how much painting skills one has. Mike

I just got this picture from Kustomrama. Too bad there wasn't a rear end photo. The red one could be a re-paint. Mike

I have been using it for ten years no problems. I spray it about 4 inches away. Good luck Mike

PM on the way.

No pictures. MPC 73/74/75 Duster replacement Tail Lights – Harts Parts Resin

Has anyone come thru yet? I have them. Mike

I tried using a soda bottle for my Corvette build it was too thick and would not conform to the curves. The frame was not strong enough. Using different types of glue and clamps did not help. Anyway, the pop bottles are great for flat windows. Mike

Would it be flexible enough to bend like this windshield? Mike

Model Master had a Glitter Metal Flake Clear. {not metallic}. Is there anyone making a Metal Flake Clear? Thanks Mike

Here is the history of the 223. 3d who knows The 215 grew to 223 cu in (3.7 L) for the 1954 F-Series. Output was now 115 hp (86 kW) in the trucks and 120 hp (89 kW) in the 1954 Ford cars. Power was up to 137 hp (102 kW) in the 1956 trucks. While not the popular engine option, the 223 cu in (4 L) was the only inline-six offered in the Fairlane (until 1961), Galaxie, and F-Series trucks between 1955 and 1964, causing it to be not quite a rarity, but not easy to come across. The 223 I-6 was also used in 1963–1964 Ford trucks, which also used the Autolite 1100 carburetor with stamping C4TF-E and produced 145 hp (108 kW) with 206 ft-lb of torque, and Mercury Meteor-Monterey in 1961. The 223 was also used in Onan 30EC generator sets and possibly others.[1]

The part that I am looking for is the 2pc header from the Revell Motion Cobra. Thanks Mike

I know that Whoopie Cat went out of business years ago. Does anyone know if someone is printing Drag Racing decals. Slixx does not have what I am looking for. This what I am looking for. Thanks Mike

Thanks for the info. I need something that is flexible enough to fit into this Corvette windshield. Mike

I am looking for the thinnest clear acrylic sheets that be used for windshields. Thanks Mike

You can also try to match the color of the background to the color that you painted the car with. Metallics won't work. Mike

After 1 year I have no detectible prostate cancer. A lot of people disparage the PSA test. It is only a test not a diagnosis. A biopsy is the only way to get absolute proof of cancer. Mike

I would experiment sanding the part to give the glue and paint something to stick to. I agree epoxy is the way to go. Mike

Is the tip plugged up? Mike
