charlie8575 Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Over the last couple of weeks... A 1976 Gremlin. With a badly-warped chassis. I'll be trying the hot water thing to fix that soon. A couple of bottles of paint I needed for the Ford and Olds (Testors new Model Master Metallic Gray and a bottle of Anthracite Gray Met., both of which are good matches for the interior painted surfaces). A pack of X-Acto #17 chisel blades to remove evil chassis lettering. I also got a couple of neat books on 1920s residential architecture, one of which has some really nice garages that are giving me ideas. Charlie Larkin Edited January 8, 2013 by charlie8575
