It looks like Testors has discontinued that color but only recently. I was able to find some available online thru Amazon......
Nothing new yet this week. Still working on detail bits for the '59 Sunliner mild custom. For something to look at, here are some new pix of an...
Amazing window into the past! Thanks for posting!
As I understand it EZ-off will soften resin parts beyond repair. It will also damage the surface of acetate plastic (like that used in old promo...
Nice work on Cameo dually! I use Easy-Off Oven Cleaner (the smelly variety in the yellow can) to remove "chrome" plating and the clear lacquer...

I think it was only the manual shift and non-"Teletouch" (no push buttons) automatic trans '58 Edsels that used that wheel.
Really nice work! Looks "Factory," in a good way! I like the idea of the '59 grill insert, complete with the stars. For the parking lights, maybe...
The classic custom taillight for '58 Fords (and '59-'60 Tbirds) is the '59 Pontiac Bonneville/Starchief piece. On the Ford it has to be cut and...
Brilliant solution, Mr. Cabong! Looks so natural! Here are two '57 Fords by the late, great Larry Watson. It just doesn't get any better than this...
Wow! I salute your patience and skill restoring that valance and bringing that grillwork back to life!
This car is sheer perfection! Looking forward to more eye candy!
Again, this is image is almost certainly Photoshop! Modern font on the dealer name signage. Weird perspective(s) on the wagon in the showroom and...
