Literally just started it tonight, will like to learn how to post pics...stripped the body and worked the glue-bomb, okay broke the glue-bomb interior out. This is an old AMT body, hinges suck, sanded out the door handles and drilled holes instead. It didn't come with the rumble top which is fine. Will primer and try weathering, want to do a balsa floor, need to find a good 32 frame but might use the 34 frame I have in the parts box and then z chassis, Halibrand quickchange rearend, either suicide the front suspension or just 'straight' weld it...no idea for an engine yet.
stupid CA...

Working on the body right now...primered it after doing putty last night, have some areas to sand down, also realized that if I apply the putty with a toothpick and then primer over, I think I can drybrush over it and make it look like rust 'bubbles'. Took a pic with a friend's camera of it and a 33 Ford resin body and will post after she sends Me the pics.
Just to prove I do do something...

i put a bid on a '32 5 window and i was the ONLY bidder ($2.50). i thought i had it. someone else out bid me and got it and i didn't even get a notice that i was out bid by this other bidder. i wanted that car and it whizzed me off that i didn't get it or the notice. thanks, Duane
