Thanks Rick.  Haha....I don't think I'm quite that fast but I do have a lot going on.

I finally got some color on the 30 Ford Coupe.  Pant was Tamiya X-14 Sky Blue shot through my airbrush at 18-22 psi.  I thinned the Sky Blue with Mr. Color Leveling thinner 50/50.  Turned out really nice I think.

That's a nice shade of blue. It reminds me of summertime by the pool.

Thanks Dave.  Blue is my favorite color so I think it came out nice.

I've pulled most of the parts for the engine and exhaust and I've drilled the holes for the plug wires.  I can only find one drive shaft.  If you have built this kit, did you have this issue?

I thought the paint looked a little this and some ghosting so I hit it with a few more coats.

It looks like those extra coats made a big difference Bob. Much deeper and richer of a color.

I think so too Dave.  Thanks.

I believe your right Carl.  I like the blue.

Well....I made an executive decision.  The paint looked good enough to NOT shoot any clear on it.  I wanted to keep the shine down a little so I just polished it with Meguiar's Mirror Glaze fine-Cut Cleaner and the Ultimate Liquid Wax.  I think it came out pretty nice.
