Whew..... I'm almost done!

What are you guys using on your belt molding and side lights? That's all I have left to do.

That's looking good! Don't forget to put the fan shroud on before the radiator goes in. Mine was all glued in and I found the shroud laying there. After I got it all straightened out, I found out the hood was hitting the shroud..... this slow drying glue can really be your friend sometimes.

Added rust primer and dirt to the chassis. Gotta go back and add the grease and grime build up and put the checker board on the top. Getting close to the way it looked when I bought it 30 years ago IMG_4333.jpg IMG_4334.jpg IMG_4335.jpg IMG_4336.jpg

That looks good Phred. I like the detail. How did you do the side trim? Did you mask it off and paint it or is it foiled?

Thanks. I used a fine line silver paint pen for the molding.

I have been trying to work up the nerve to brush mine but I keep envisioning a sudden twitch and a repaint.

I think I will pick up a pen tomorrow and try it. I saw the silver paint pens at Ace Hardware last week.

That is outstanding, I'm going to have to get one of those. Something else to buy, I now have twice in paint and supply's than the model itself.
