After bombing the paint on my VW bus in December, I really had a hard time moving forward with anything significant. My intent has been to finish every car that is currently in progress and I’m sticking to it. There are a few that have been sitting for years simply because I’ve been reluctant to move forward with them for one reason or another.<\/p>\n

The VW bus is stripped back to bare plastic and ready for another round of body work.<\/p>\n

I finished chassis detail on the Golf racecar.<\/p>\n

I dug into my ’70 Superbird project by starting the interior, chassis and suspension detail. I also started prepping the body by scribing the panel lines and removing mold seams.<\/p>\n

I also experimented with attaching MCG photo etch using Micro Clear glue.<\/p>\n

While I was painting the wheels for the ’70 Superbird, I pulled my ’67 GTX and ’67 Coronet and properly painted the wheels.<\/p>\n

As a quick fun project, I installed a set of wheels from a broken toy onto my son’s Hummer kit. I used\u00a0aluminum tubing to create a mount that would attach to the metal axles. Although the scale is wrong, my 7 year old loved it!<\/p>\n
