Ok gang....the first of the corrections has been accomplished. Where I cut the decals to fit what I thought was a little bit better and turned out being too much above the wheel openings has now been corrected. I've gotta touch up the interior headlining a little bit now but that's small stuff. The more I looked at this the more it bugged me. Before...paying close attention to the white area above the wheel openings...  and after the corrections....next up....painting the white roof.  |

Ok fellas!! I managed to mask off and paint the roof white without destroying the rest of the paint/ decal work that I've done. It aint perfect in regards to "correctness" but I got it close enough for me to be able to live with. I've also applied the gloss coat over everything...  |

You are a VERY brave man to do that Joe! But the result is perfect! |

Thanks Leon, Mike and Dale. I'm currently working on polishing the body the rest of the way up. I received my PE shifter in the mail and now am waiting on my aftermarket Dominator carburetors from Futureattraction. These things are the friggin BOMB!!!! futurattraction.com/8.html |

This build has been going a lot slower than a lot of my other ones just because of parts....and the money to get them. Used to I would buy everything I needed BEFORE a build. Now I'm having to spread everything out as I can afford it. Things are slowly coming together now. Sometimes it's a "one step forward and two steps backwards" gig. Like today for instance, I saw that one of the rear wheels that I shot with Molotow has cracking in the chrome finish. Dunno what happened there as the other rear wheel is ok. Guess it's a bath in oven cleaner and a re-shoot for that one though. The other thing that I've noticed was the rear bumper. There are two HUGE sink marks on the outside of the bumper where the two mounting tabs are located on the inside of the bumper. Looks like that's gonna get stripped and some body work is coming down the pike. One thing after another with this kit...………...BUT......that's modeling. The other thing that has been hampering me is myself. Like....forgetting to paint the roof white for instance. After the clear cured out it left a rough surface and I've spent the last few days wet sanding it out and polishing it back to the smooth finish that I had to start with when I first took photos of the corrected roof. And just yesterday I saw where I forgot to paint the tail light panel black. No biggie....just masked off and shot it semi gloss black this morning and it turned out ok. Updated Mock up shots:     |

Got my carburetors in the mail yesterday from Scott at Futureattractions. Hands down best Dominator carburetors out there. A little clean up is all they need:   |

Thanks for the comments fellas. I mocked it up again this weekend just to see how it would look with my favorite wheels ever...….it's too bad this car didn't come with these originally because I REALLY like how it looks with these:  |

That looks great with the Welds on it. Also one of my favourite wheels, as well as the Cragar Pro Stars(the original Bob Glidden ones)

It would always bug me that it wasn't "correct". lol Finished up the hood this morning. This whole applying white over red is NOT an easy thing to do. Fought color bleed through all the way. BUT....I got it.  |
