  1. Thanks a bunch, guys! Glad you're enjoying my progress.... Hey, Carl friend! It's just plastic sheet from a food package.... I cut the shape I wanted, then scored lines into it with a scribing tool......
  2. I'm very glad you guys like the door panels! I'm thinking like espo that the seats need something to tie in with the rest, so I've made these pieces... Everything will look better once I've painted the white.....
  3. Drink Canada Dry! (that's not a bucket list item.....)
  4. Thanks, Thomas! I get these packs of steaks that have a very thin piece of plastic that keeps the package flat..... It's thin enough to cut with scissors, but for a clean cut you need a straight edge and Xacto....
  5. Trying my hand at some scratch building for the first time! Working on making some door panels for the very under-detailed interior..... Still need to make some arm rests and figure out the window cranks. How do they look to you guys? I cut away the arm rest so the new card can sit flat against the existing door panel....... Let me know what you think, and all comments are welcome!
  6. I read about this kit before I got it, and did see where you had said that..... I remember your build, it looked really cool!
  7. This is cool already! Fade away fenders would look really good, and you maybe could slope the B-pillars forward to get more of that custom look than the straight vertical ones....
  8. Thanks for the responses, fellas! I agree the skirts would look better if the rear was lower, even like a tail-dragger maybe....
  9. Got the chassis all done! Also mocked up a few pics so I could get you guys' opinion...... With skirts or without? I kinda like it better without....... Still contemplating getting the styline parts from the '50 convertible for the body, if I do that I'll definitely use some skirts then..... Thanks for looking, and any comments are welcome.......
  10. My karate artery.....!! (you have to know the people 'round here to get it...)
  11. Here's one that might be too bizarre for most of you guys, but me being a fan of anything Claypool, I like it......
  12. Thanks, fellas... I've been saving these wheels for a special project to come along. Got the engine all done! Thanks....
  13. glass pack glassback....
  14. Today I'm goofing around with rolling stock.... Think I'll use these! It's the Radir wheels from the Batmobile in the kit tires......... I've got some '61 Impala taillights that should work for center caps.
  15. DupiColor primers are really too "hot" for bare plastic.... Their perfect match paints work just fine over the Rustoleum, though. I still like the Perfect Match paints, I just think maybe I've found a better primer for myself.
  16. Misha, that interior looks really good! I've thought about adding some detail to the interior, just not sure what I'm gonna do yet. Definitely need to find some door handles and window cranks as the ones molded in are very faint..... Today's progress! Finished the masking and sprayed the frame black.... Couldn't figure out how to mask the wheel wells cleanly, so I just sprayed them also..... Thanks!
  17. Thank you Misha and Dave! Here's today's progress....... Painted the body color on the belly, and started to mask for spraying the frame itself black.
