Mark, thanks for the compliment on my struggle to achieve the quality of your builds. I am currently plodding along trying to make a '32 five window coupe stockcar from '50's era. Struggling as usual to fit my modifications to it. I'm plunking a '40 Ford flathead in it, so far.

I will need to find the wip on your build. is it here in mcm forum?

Thanks, Steve. Its slow going. As usual every step forward, I take I take two steps back. I keep trying to use the Tamiya liquid glue, but it takes forever to actually hold the part strong enough to continue the build on the piece I'm working on, so I revert back to the old testors tube glue that also takes forever to set but at least it holds the parts together once it does. I wish somebody would make a fast setting glue that actually holds the parts together that isn't dangerous for my lungs.

@MarkJ, you’re a way more advanced modeler than I probably ever will be so I feel that advice from me is unwarranted. That said, I’ve had a great experience with Bondene if I need something to take hold quickly. I’ve got CA glue too but not crazy about it.

Thanks, Steve. I will check it out.

Excellent work on the chrome moldings Mark, and also the gold roof. You must be really pleased with that shade of blue, which looks perfect to me.

You are well organised with your paint reference details and I know how important that is from dealing with Rolls-Royce paint codes.

This Daytona 500 race car is going to be a stunner . . .
