Hi all, hope ya'll are well,safe and building models. Been working on this old Ford. Here's the ebay artifact I'm starting with. After careful disassembly and stripping the old Testors PLA Most of the chrome was sanded off soooo.....mild custom. I picked out a few details on the chassis. Having a lot of fun and learning a lot on this one. Love vintage styrene...build on!

Looking good! It's always nice to see these old glue-bombs with their chunky paint turned into something special.

Thanks guys! Well I hit with Tamiya clear and it crazed the steel color on the hood badly even though my test spoon did ok. No problem as I wasn't really happy with that paint job anyway sooooo..... After a night of swimming with oven cleaner in a freezer bag it's back to square one. I did manage to make shift and turn signal levers out of ball pins.

I did the same shift lever and turn signal arm with the ball pins just the other day on the '65 Chevelle wagon that I'm building. They work great for that. I got a "Lifetime" supply off of eBay for really cheap, they're white too! The only problem I had was that the ones I got want to spin on the shaft, so I trickled some thin Super Glue between the shaft and ball it worked. Heat might work too.
Your levers and knobs look great!
