half done with wet sanding the body. Just so nobody is confused, this is not a super slick painted drag car. I am purposely going up to 12,000 grit paper and not buffing it out. I also rubbed a bit thin on the roof to make it look sun faded and worn. The finish may look slick, but it's just dull shine. I will be adding minor weathered spots here and there....but there won't be a ton of rust...it's a used drag car!

Looking good Bob. I just found all the stuff for the Falcon the other night so if the rain ever stops here I will start laying some paint down on it.

Some progress on the Ranchero!!! I finished the smoothing of the frame, added frame motor mounts, and painted it......

The bench seat is cut out, and the floor built back in.

Frame after puttying, and smoothing, then painting.

Thank you.

I finally got the mock-up finished, so i primered the body in flat white, and painted the radiator & support, and firewall. I will start painting the body in the next couple of days....I HOPE!!! LOL.
