And the subject of all the Fox fans' fretting?  Should be good times. I'm happy to keep this effort all AZ. Just think, with a few more resin collaborations, we could give the Dee-Troit boys a run for their money. -Mike S. |

 Here is a pic of the inside body work. Very nice Job, Mike. I enjoyed Mike's visit. We had never met before. We chatted a good while. He explained some car facts I did not know and I showed him a few of my old original kits and talked about some future projects. So lets get started.   I gave the body a light polishing and a good washing. I then covered all the scripts and some fine detail up with some strips of painters tape. The claying up process can be messy. The clay can be sticky too. It is difficult to remove clay remnants from such fine detail. I can already see the front grille work is very fragile and will need careful handling. While we are still just beginning. I would like to welcome all of you for coming to this board to see this thread. I hope you will post and participate too. I notice we have picked up a few more members. |

 Most of the clay up work is done. The front grille opening is very fragile. Somehow I need to get silicone worked into the openings. There is not a lot of room there. I sure hope this area of the mold will stay in good condition. This is thin and may soon tear out. I laid a thin layer of styrene sheet from the inside to have an even stopping point for the silicone to rest at.  Here is another pic of the front end and the styrene behind it. I took a pencil and colored the areas to show detail.  This photo shows tail light and rear window detail.   And a couple of side views. |

  Here is the body all clayed up and boxed in the form. Once the silicone cures that are holding the sides together I can start pouring silicone in. |

Thanks, Mike. We will get together and see what I can do with that tire. I have several projects going and some from the past that are dragging behind. There just aren't enough hours in the day for me to do this. It's a bummer I have to go to that lousy thing called a JOB! Our flip nose Buick GS discussion has got me wanting one. If only I could afford it and had a place to park it! LOL
