Ok Pat. Here are the brushes I use. The top one is for seats, dashes, wheels, trim panels and other things about that size. the middle brush is for frames and interior tubs. the bottom brush is for coating the body with Future or what is now known as Pledge Floor Care.

 :)   It is coming along really well, Mark.  I have  been too wound up with my upcoming move to watch closely, but I do thank you for sharing this.  I am looking forward to seeing it finished.

The tri five Chevies take the spotlight, especially in short track, so it is good to see an old Ford get some notice.
Look to the Lord and His strength -  Seek His face always.

Thanks, Doc. I think the frame/interior is pretty much done. Trying to glue in the glass to roof and the fit is not real good. finally got them glued. Will have to let the glue completely dry before I install the frame to the body. This is the first real fit issue I have had with this kit. Everything else has fit really well.

Its finished except for the decals, bungi straps and future. Had a couple of hiccups getting the body to fit to the frame but I finally got it together. I like the grille because you don't have to black wash it. Its just like a real grille.
