that is so cool

Thanks John!

Progress has been slow the last few weeks. Been working out of my normal location so I haven't gotten the break and lunch time to work on this.

Anywho, got the interior finished this morning with a resin shifter and parts box seats. I had to grind the molded in seat belts off. Then I threw it together for a look at it. Maybe this weekend I can get it BMF'd. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Sam. Can't wait to get some BMF on it. You busy this weekend? I need a break from sorting....

Friday and Saturday are open, but you still need to sort. ?

I'll be sorting up until then. I can't bring too much I to the house. Besides, I'm starting to get burned out.

Sam I Am and I had a Zoom build session last night and I was able to get the side chrome foiled. I also started the repair to the driver's side wing window. It was a much needed time at the bench! Thanks Sam!

I enjoyed it as well, even if it proves to be a rather costly evening. ? Nice that we can do this on a regular basis.  You also motivated me to get the foil work started on my '59 as well.

Ha, join the club Tom.  I foiled my WIP '55 , looked at it for 2 days and scraped it all off.

Yeah, I've done that before. Hopefully I won't have to do that on this.

Looking good! Funny that I was eyeing up that same kit this morning over coffee and diggin' that intake set up. Might end up doing a 60's version of it some day soon. I like the direction you took!

That's looking good, I like the paint scheme.

Thanks Fellas! Yeah, I like this direction much better than my last idea.

Time to bump this back up to the top. I started work on this one again since I am so close to being done. Been getting the BMF done around the windows. Got probably one more session at the bench and I'll have the  BMF done. Then I can clear it all and slap it together.

Cool paint scheme!

I like the old school colors.  Coming along great.  

[Modlbldr]

Thanks guys for tuning in.

Got some bench time tonight and a Zoom Meeting with Sam I Am. I was able to finish the BMF. Not perfect, but then neither am I. I'll clean up the mistakes with Molotow later.

Now I can clean the prints and scuffs off the body and spray some clear. I should be able to finish this in my lifetime.

Looks much better this afternoon. I washed it to get ready for clear coat. No more smudges and finger prints.
