Below is my tailgate that I mess up . I glued photo etch upside down .I removed the photo etch , the part wrinkled . I did not have another replacement part . I glued it back down in the correct direction . Now I went and built a skid that will hold cases of sodas and water bottles . This will sit on the gate . Skid not finished yet . Enjoy Rick

I finished my paint rack yesterday .. I'm going let paint cure for few days before installing this to the wall .. I use oil base enamel paint , Sprayed this outside with HVLP gun .. I used scrap wood , only the peg board was new Rick

Here is my paint rack I'm building ..I could not find any paint racks. So I thought , lets build one . This is a basic rack . I will primer , then paint with enamel black You can see my two Alclad bottles . That be the pale gold and chrome .. Rick

Thanks Its been a bit since I worked on this big bird . Work was super busy , slowing down a tad . I started on the tail gate .. The tail gate when I glue that down , Will it went south in a bad way . No photo . The super glue stuck instant . I had the photo etch in the wrong direction .. So I peeled it off . The photo etch wrinkled A tad . I did get it glues down . There is rough areas. I'm going make this tail gate looked good and used .. Enjoy Rick

I have the cargo interior walls Mattt Clear coat finished . I mocked up the interior just to see what it look like . I need to install seat belts, photo etch IP and couple decal labels Enjoy Rick

Nice Job Rick

thank you A lot more rivets to do . Rick

thank you I had the weekend off from work . I got all caught with house and yard work I started the outside body rivet process . This model has no rivets . This bird has a lot rivets . Only issue I see with this model . No problem I'm not sure if my rivet tool is right size , but its for 1/48 scale . I was not going to order a new rivet tool . I had to use chalk to high light the rivets , so excuse me for the miss . I have washed off the chalk Enjoy Rick

I never seen that before .. I could use that in some cases Thanks you Rick

looks good Richard I like that liq mask . Did you wash that away , when you was finished ? Rick

thank you Rick

I forgot , I have photo etch seat belts .. Rick
