'69 Fury III Convertible Build Thread- Project IVY

[commando1]

Nick, how the hell do you find time for the models?

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Not sure Stan, I just tinker, I work 10 1/2 hours a day, put in what ever time I have on the car, at night I find I tinker with the small ones while watching TV.

Model building pretty much ended the day I got my first car. Got at least 10 kits left untouched.

 

[polara71]

I havent built one since I had my first date.. I had a few cars but I usually built Trucks as in tractors

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

I've recently got to a decent level, it's become a secondary hobby since the '69 Fury.

I've entered 4 contests and have placed in 3 of them, in total 7 awards and 9 entries.

okay enough bragging, (I don't have much to brag about compared to some of you guys )

So very true. That being the case there is at least between 70-90 models in the garage.

 

[polara71]

They have contests for those? I need to get out more

 

[cm23uoc]

I think these contests are about as old as model kits itselves.

 

[detmatt]

Yes they are, nice job Nick. Your vert is lucky you made the switch to full scale.

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

Thanks guys.

I had planned to go to full scale for a while, but couldn't find a project that interested me for what I wanted to pay.

I can see the end of the tunnel and I'm running for home, Gotta have it ready for body in mid April, so I'm pushing hard now.Even working on parts of it at night now.

Working on stripping down the old paint and shooting a thin coat of Zinc Chromate on, like my bodyman requested.

Dash is in decent shape, needs some small repairs.
