Very nice. Your chrome trim work is outstanding

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.

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

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!!

LUV IT !!

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.

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

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

I think that it is just the natural evolution of people's tastes . Old Geezers vs Young Guns. Mike

Scale auto Finishes has Y2 Yellow

They did post a detailed account here about closing down the business ?

I agree. I stopped watching it after 3 episodes What is the point of street racing Door Slammers on the street and running away from the cops? Mike

If I remember right, they did try to sell the business. But had no luck.

Slixx has a number of contingencies sheets

Charles, That was posted in 2016. I wonder if Edelbrock's lawyers came knocking on his door with Cease-and-Desist court order? Mike

Rex, My mirrors go on last. There is too much of a chance of knocking them off during final assembly I have knocked of stuff while taking pictures of my cars. I pin them as much as possible. These mirrors are much too small to pin. Mike

Nice work. I am building one now. Mine is gonna be Black Jade. Those sport mirrors are the smallest that I have seen. Did you have any problems gluing them to the doors? Mike

Does the Trading Post seem to be slow with not a lot of trades happening? Mike

Thanks for the link. Mike

I found a picture of rear view of the 59 Impala. It has a date of 10/1957. And some of the clay mockups. How GM‘s Radical 1959 Chevrolet Came to Be – Dean’s Garage (deansgarage.com)

I have always wondered why most of GM's 1958 cars are one offs. You can see the styling que throughout the whole line up. The money spent to manufacture them must been of outrageous. Mike

Very KOOL!!! Did the decals come with kit? She is my favorite Superhero. I'll take a bad girl over a good girl any time.

Paper and pencil don't need power. LOL

I am the best at holding a ladder, running for parts, grab a tool and of course the beer run. I can't cut a straight line with a hand saw, forget trying to hammer a nail without bending it. So, I am no DIY person, and I am at the mercy of the car dealer. But I can build a great model car. One day paper pushers will rule the world. LOL Mike
