Mark that is spot on yeah i have to build that one!

Kevin, I'm looking forward to you building it. This was the car in 1966 that got all the Chevy fans excited about Nascar again.

Sanded down the small areas of the roof that need to be red and shot them with the air brush today but it's still not quite right. I will try the 6000, 8000, 12000 routine and see if that fixes it.  if not, I guess i just need to completely   remove any sign of the old paint or that horrible Tamiya acrylic primer I had to brush on that started this fiasco in the first place. If I can just get it down to bare plastic, I will just shoot the red to bare plastic and not prime it at all since I have no source for rattle can Tamiya white primer. My lhs has a hard time keeping up with their stock. Maybe the tariff stuff is keeping them from getting any.

The fine sanding pads worked so now I will mask them and shoot the gold on the roof and if that turns out okay, I will then mask that and shoot the rest of the body blue. I have started the chassis, and it should not be too much trouble getting it done.
