If nothing else, this thread is proof . drugs are bad for you. And it seems dont mix well with fiberglass resin -

Well, I do have both 60 and 61 Imperial. but I just ckd, both of them have the hubcaps in them . I was thinking mercury or early 60s Ford sunliner maybe -
In all honesty, I would just like to get back to the model bench for something. Ive not touched anything in a few years now. And to be honest 2021 is not looking good for it either. I plan to retire approx fall 2022 Im thinking by then house will be the way we want it and my car is in the in the condition I truly want it to be by then Ive actually starting to thin the pile down even more than I did a couple years ago . Im planing to get down to maybe a couple dozen buildups I want to restore ( mostly original 1958 thru 1960 annuals ) and then some vintage drag cars I want to replicate . The rest is going away

I dont need one, But me personally I like the accuracy of the door scallops on the AMT kit over the revell version But cool box art none the less -
Some mad skills dude. far more then I would have attempted

If I can make a suggestion. Add stryene strips to the edges of the roof along the roof drain gutters. If you are doing a vinyl top the original trim on the kits is / gets far to shallow compared to the added trim at the base of the C pillar area

In what vehicle did you learn to drive?
gtx6970 replied to BeakDoc's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Off road was the family tractor which was great to learn how to drive a clutch . otherwise its A combination of my parents 1973 Ford Torino wagon and 73 Ford F100 pickup( 3 on the tree no less ) and my 1st car , a 1966 Pontiac Tempest . I bought with my own money. Paid a whopping $50 for it and drive it home -
Correct, exhaust manifolds had engine color on them for a very short time
