I like that too. I use an Arm & Hammer one... just what I use anyway. I have some Meguairs polishing compound but wind up going with toothpaste as of late.

I remember learning about toothpaste to polish paint in Car Model way back when. They instructed you to follow with corn starch and that worked pretty well. ?

Beautiful color TJ!

Thank You, Carl! Now comes assembly.... I've been going over how this needs to go together, hopefully I have a plan!

Hey, TJ, are you anywhere near that Statesville show coming up on the 30th?

Well, guys, I'm working on assembly! Thought I should show y'all what I'm having to do to get this together...... The way the kit is designed, you're to put the glass into it's locations, then put the top on the body. With the top in place, it was all but impossible to install the rear glass. I ended up having to put two small pieces of tape on the rear glass, then kind of drop it in place. Once where it needed to be, I glued it in with PVA glue...... The pic shows the yellow tape holding in the rear glass.

Now I'm installing the interior..... Have to feed it in from the bottom, too......

So, that's it for now....... Thanks!

Just wanted to show you guys that I've got the major body parts together! It took some coaxing and problem solving, but now it's pretty much ready to join the chassis......
