Thanks Dan! I'm gonna finish sanding this, but I'll have to wait on painting it. It's snowing outside! :blink::huh:

Actually, it was kinda interesting to have a snow shower. I had told my neighbors last Sunday that we would have snow by the end of the week... Needless to say, they thought I was a looney toon! :lol: Friday morning they couldn't stop laughing that it actually happened...

Yeah, my family told me that it was snowing in southern Missouri and northern Arkansas yesterday. How crazy is that?

Update...

Finally got the bodywork done, and now I've painted it up. I used Testors Candy Apple Red from a can (this stuff you have to soak in hot water to get it to spray smoother) over a silver chrome base coat. I have yet to add a gloss coat to it. I'm finally happy with the way it came out...

Well now Marshall, I'm glad to say that I'm glad that you got 'er painted. She looks great. Nice work my friend. :wub::) :) Dan

Thanks Dan! I'll give it a week or so, then add a clear coat. Then I can do the final assembly on it.

Nice color... As long as you heat the can, it usually lays out smoother with hardly any issues

Thanks James! Yup, it definitely has to be warmed up... Something short of setting the can on fire! :D
