Progress is always slow due to personal health issues, so it just felt so good to finally sit down, and start the masking process for the wood. I have to paint outside, in a dirt driveway. And yet, I was able to luck out. Nice, clean spray. Almost perfect day for outdoor spraying.

Jon, I have the same problem and mine is MS fatigue and weakness. I have one of these to build and will follow along. Hang in there...

That is a really nice kit, Jon, everything goes together very well. Also, if you mix-and-match some of the parts from the AMT coupe you can come up with a very nicely detailed stock woody with some of the extra accessories! Good luck with yours, will be watching your progress.

It was a nice day, that's for sure.

After sunrise is supposed to be nice, too. 

I try to avoid outside, so I open the cellar door, and squirted a little touch-up on my '32 Ford. That might be done before month's end.

Nice build so far. I really enjoyed building one of these almost box stock and with just a few little personal touches they really are great.

There were so many beautiful wood sided cars in this era,It's  shame so few have been offered in kit form.The latest is the Galaxie '47 Chevy series that has the optional Sportsman wooden side panels available.In 1947 those were a dealer installed option.

Hope this styrene diversion will offer some respite from whatever your personal health challanges are.Thanks for sharing.

    I hope you feel better soon! I can most

certainly relate to having my building put

on hold because of health issues.

  There is most likely many here that can

understand where your at.

   But one things for sure, it looks great so

far here! And I bet it will look great when

you do finish it. Whenever that might be.

 

   Build happy sir,
