David G. Posted November 23, 2024 Posted November 23, 2024 I'm sorry to learn of the paint issue but at least it wasn't a total loss. I'm looking forward to seeing more. David G.

bobss396 Posted November 24, 2024 Posted November 24, 2024 I was probably 9 or 10 when I built my 1st one. The drag version. I had discovered that Testors made metallic paint in those little jars. I used the blue, streaky as heck but I thought it looked good. 1
53gmc Posted November 24, 2024 Author Posted November 24, 2024 Got this one wrapped up, now to focus on car #2(it has its own build page) 5
Zippi Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 The ole Shoebox Ford turned out pretty nice. I'm diggin the 50 Chevy pickup on the shelf pulling the U-Haul trailer. 1
bobss396 Posted November 26, 2024 Posted November 26, 2024 I have 3 I did in more recent years. A black box stock I did for a contest. I may take that apart one day and upgrade it. Then my blue gasser that made the magazine in 2022. The last was my purple custom that has a glaring issue with the rear window fit, which also fogged with CA glue. I see them as a blank canvas. The possibilities are endless with them. 1

I've always liked the shoebox ford's, I had one a few years ago that was good little driver with the flathead. I wanted to turn mine into a gasser with the 468 BBC I had but it didn't pan out ha
