Here's on of my favorite Dali paintings, it's called Raphaelesque Head Exploding...... Another Dali bit of trivia.... He used to baptise his paintings in a lake in Spain where he lived...........

I like Elmers school glue, it doesn't make the strongest bond, but if you handle the model easily it works fine. The less glue you use, the better it holds........ I use it to attach mirrors and door handles on finished paint. If you make a goof with it, it cleans up with soapy water.........

Wow, That's a nice color! and I like the "suede" look it has not cleared.... If you're building it as a pro-touring car, it would look good with black wheels and some black trim. Just an idea, but it's your build, friend...... do as you'd like!

Hey, Your epidermis is showing...............

I like to build in the quiet like a lot of you guys.......... It's when I'm waiting for paint or glue to dry that I turn on my music.

It's a trick I learned on here......... It does a light sanding of the plastic, even in scripts and grooves where sand paper can't get to. Gives the surface a little "bite" for the primer. After Comet, I use dish soap and let everything air dry......

Got some work done on the interior! Going two-tone brown..........

Thanks again for the help, guys......! Snake, you're right about being able to put whatever wheels I would like to, I just want to do what the factory may have done.... In my hunting for reference pics, I've seen all types of wheels on these cars, even late '70s Police wheels! This looks the best to me, though......

Thanks fellas.....! I was going to put the 500s on a '63 Plymouth with red lines, but wasn't sure they were available then...........

The Mefistofele box says over 500 parts....! Here's to hoping the chain links don't have mold lines.......

I was wondering if you guys could tell me what year they started putting Road Wheels (Magnum 500s) on the MoPars.... Also, would the steel wheels and hubcaps from the Belvedere 1 Moebius kit be correct for a '63 Plymouth......? Thank you for any help, Guys...........

Wanted to show you guys the ride height that this one has with the wheels I chose........ I've been getting the body ready for primer, scribed for foil, now it just needs a scrub with Comet, and I can start priming......... Also the chassis is done....! Thanks for checking in, and feel free to comment..........

Guys, DupliColor makes an Engine enamel Primer that has ceramic in it. I use it all the time, it goes on thin, sands smooth, and stands up to the lacquer paints. I bet with the ceramic in it, it would make for a good barrier over colored plastics..... what do you guys think?

You didn't crack a joke? You really MUST be miserable...... I'm sorry... My Dad tore the rotator cuff in his left shoulder catching a guy that had fallen off a ladder. In the year of MRIs and waiting for a proper surgeon, he also developed a bone spur in the injured shoulder. After surgery and 6 months of physical therapy though, He's back to normal......... Erry Thang Gonna Be Alright............!!

You're in a medicinal-legal state, Harry........ Dump those pills! It's good for pain, your nerves, relaxation, will keep your blood pressure down, and help with your appetite (the munchies!)

I like this post, especially the last line............

Thanks, Colby.....! As you can see, I like blue interiors...........

Wouldn't that also be called a "booty call"?

Thought you guys would have fun discussing some of the "new" words and phrases that have emerged lately...... "Bump-Dialing" I'll get a call occasionally and it's someones Smart Phone in their purse or pocket calling...........

Thanks for the kind comments, Friends......! In the next day or so I should have the chassis finished........

For you guys who have this kit in your to-do pile, there isn't any way to positively locate the exhaust until you attach the frame to the floor pan. The locator holes are on the pan itself......... Also got the engine bay painted the color the car is going, Dark Shadow Gray from Dupli-Color.......... Thank You for looking, and for any comments.......

Thanks, espo.....! That's a pretty good idea, using the supplied decals to make new ones....... Speaking of decals, if anyone wants the Law Enforcement decals from this kit, you are welcome to them..... just shoot me a PM and I'll send them to you.....

Thank You, Paul......! I plan on a dark gray metallic with either a red or a tan interior, may need some feedback to help decide on the interior.
