Snake45 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Posted October 4, 2020 Very cool! I'll be glad to add you to the build at anytime. Model on!
NZanglia Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Hope to post in the next day or two. I have the Tyres painted currently and the motor needs a bit more paint detailing done then its on to the body before the chassis.
TimJ Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Looking at the parts reminded me why this build stalled as every one has flash and ejector pin marks on it so the first thing I did was strip the chrome tree as by the time I'd cleaned the parts up there wouldn't be much chrome left on them. DSCF1724 by timothy jones, on Flickr Once the parts were cleaned up I was able to get to work, starting off by painting the frame and adding the axles. DSCF1731 by timothy jones, on Flickr The engine was originally orange and chrome but I stripped it down, repainted the block satin black and repainted most of the chrome parts in various metallic shades.

Superbird McMonte Posted October 10, 2020 Posted October 10, 2020 Finally got back on my Superbird build! This kit started out as a Johann kit that I added the correct Coronet fenders to. I glassed in the nose and painted it B5 blue recently. Last night I added the wind deflectors from the Monogram kit.
Tom Geiger Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Worked on the interior of the Jeepster today. Much of that time was spent on computer, creating labels for gauge cluster and radio. There should be a shifting label on glove box door but I couldn’t get any image to reduce down to size without just looking like a black box.
NZanglia Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Some nice progress from everyone. Even I got some more paint on plastic myself
Straightliner59 Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I got most of the lower "half" of this thing done. I should be closing up the body, in a day or two!
Misha Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Tall “T” Update... A somewhat overdue update, yet the Pacific Nor’West rains have just begun, yard work has decreased with the result of more workbench time! Been working on the interior with detailing the upholstered panels, and creating the door and window details on the inside. All along I’ve been planning the painting procedure. More on all that later. Today worked on the Flattie V8-60 by getting the dual Strombergs mounted on the scratch-built intake along with the fuel lines. I use a lot of jewelry items such as crimps and the straight lengths of fine wire that holds its shape. Made the T-join with a small length of hollow plastic tube and CA. Been using the Vallejo metallics for fine brush painting of details. The major engine components were treated to Alclad metallics with a wash. The main task has been to ensure that it will all fit within the chassis and body cowl! Did a quick mock up of the engine with blower pulley and harmonic balancer being positioned in the chassis, looks to be ? okay... More later... cheers Misha

Also have to set up my new Pace Spray Booth in the paint room, so that will allow me to speed up with my air brushing. Cheers Misha

Cheers Misha On 10/16/2020 at 1:16 AM, Steve H said: Hmmmm... do I need one of those?! Expand Well Steve, after many years of trying to determine whether to build my own or to purchase one, I decided on the Pace model based on reviews here on the forum and then was convinced by speaking with Bob Pace himself when I placed my order. I did place my order with him just as the pandemic struck and as a result my delivery time was nearly three months to get it to the Island instead of the anticipated few weeks. It is unfortunate that up here in Canada we are subject to shipping and brokerage fees along with our weaker dollar. It is somewhat fortunate that Pace booths, having a bang on design, are relatively inexpensive apart from the previous comments. It is good value for the Canadian Loonie, yet it is not inexpensive, I would still recommend one (24” with light and separate switches, the nicer one). Cheers Misha

Snake45 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Posted October 16, 2020 Please, no more talk about paint booths. This would make a great topic up in General or Model Questions. Let's try to stay on topic here, please. Thanks!
Ctmodeler Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Now you guys got me thinking I probably really need a spray booth. I mean I could go the easy way and buy a booth but I want to build my own ! Lol has anyone here done that before ?

Straightliner59 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Got the body closed up! Manufacture and fitting of the side padding has commenced. I can smell the completion of this project, even though it's a few weeks off, to finish the hood. The rest of it should be done in a matter of days.

Misha Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Hi everyone, great progress continuing on all the projects! Just a brief update, spent most of the afternoon on further engine detail. Even in my late 60s I’m still able to thread my way thru the wiring having begun installing the boots and the wire connecting the coil to the distributor. Also added a harmonic balancer on the crankshaft end, along with the pulleys including the blower pulley. Still planning out the alternator install as part of the tension pulley off the blower. Put a wash on the Strombergs and intake. Getting a bit further on the interior detail, planning and making templates... more later. Cheers Misha
Straightliner59 Posted November 22, 2020 Posted November 22, 2020 Well, this thread has been quiet for so long, I had to dig five pages into the archives, to find it! Wake up, B.O.Y.D.! I got this thing on the wheels. All that's left is the hood--which I am going to attempt to make from aluminum. Three pieces and hinged! Oh. And the markings. I've got this!
