  10. I applaud you. 78 and still building models. Mike
  11. Very nice. Your chrome trim work is outstanding
  12. Congrats on finding these two. Are gonna try to restore them? Me, I would leave them as is put them into a case and onto a shelf. They are a reminder of a time when parents would not allow painting in the house. I luv the just they are.
  13. You can either spray them with Dull Coat or Clear Coat. The waterslide decals are hard to work with especially the tiny ones. If you don't cut them out close to perfect sometimes the film gets in the way. It can get pretty frustrating. I also bought a set of road lights from Fireball. Good stuff. Good luck Mike
  14. I lived near Foreman Imports in Chicago. My friend and I were sitting there on our bikes. watching them unload cars from the transport truck. One of the salesmen said, 'Come on kids lets go for a ride" He gave each of us a 5-minute ride in a brand new XKE convertible. Memories!!
  15. When I have the shakes, I grasp both hands together and use my fore finger and thumb to hold paint brush or a toothpick. I keep both elbows on the table and secure whatever I am working on {dashboard} so it doesn't move around. Magnifier reading glasses will help. Good luck Mike PS If it is the coupe no one is gonna see them anyway.
  16. Maybe I will give it another look. From the pre-views it looks like they are racing at Drag Strips? Mike I know that one was scripted. One of their friends wore a rent a cop uniform and drove up in a Crown Vic. It sure got their attention for about 60 seconds. Mike
  17. Running from and getting busted by the cops was in the very beginning. It was funny when the cops showed up and they were trying to load up the cars back into their trailers. I can't remember if any of the cars got confiscated
  18. I think that it is just the natural evolution of people's tastes . Old Geezers vs Young Guns. Mike
