I am in with this: I just checked my stash, I no longer have this model for whatever reason so I have ordered the parts to start over. It'll be bigger and better this time.
Superbird McMonte Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 After a bit of a pause, work continues on the Austin. I ended up installing micro magnets in the firewall and hood. I just couldn’t get a decent gap and make it easy to open at the same time. These worked real well! I hope to have it in paint next week!

Superbird McMonte Posted May 9, 2019 Posted May 9, 2019 Yellow paint is on! Orange might be tomorrow!?
Snake45 Posted May 9, 2019 Author Posted May 9, 2019 Looking good! So good, in fact, that I'd be tempted to just LEAVE it yellow!

I’ve also been busy with NNL East and a new job all at the same time. I may get back to the bench
Superbird McMonte Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 Fresh out of orange and clear coat, it looked a little hazy. After a little Novus polish, it looks fantastic! I’m a little ahead of my own schedule now! Maybe she will be done by Sunday night!??
Vince66 Posted May 11, 2019 Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) Beautiful shot rod like it. Got these today so I can have actual headlight housings. Till next update. Edited May 11, 2019 by NothingAsFineAsaW9

cdubya Posted May 12, 2019 Posted May 12, 2019 Thanks, Snake. I don't have any more kits started right now. Got a few projects around the house first.

It was good to have you on board for Round 3. Maybe you'll find something else that would apply on down the road sometime. Good luck with your projects!
Superbird McMonte Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 The viewer voted 1948 Austin is done! I post more pictures in “Under Glass”
Snake45 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Posted May 13, 2019 Very Most Way Excellent! I'll mark you for Third Completion for the next update. Gonna for another one?
Vince66 Posted May 13, 2019 Posted May 13, 2019 Little bit of progress on mini Stang got the primary interior coat of aircraft interior black shot. Found another set of rubber for the cragars that give the car that 70's period big-n-little look. Let me know what you think. And the freightliner is being held up due to postal service hope the rest of the part's I need get here that way I can get 2 of the many done. Anyways here's the big-n-little test shot of mini Stang.

I’m leaning towards the 1958 Impala convertible. It was a close second so I guess I’ll throw that in the ring as next!
