i 2nd that

Got into a painting mood on the w'end, so started the window details on the '57 Gasser and Lunchy Jr.  Yep, the old hands aren't as steady as they used to be (especially since I started life doing manually drafting).
 

Cleaned up the chassis, and replaced the broken parts on the MB . Also cleaned the body and original glass piece, so she is now at this stage . 
BTW, the all yellow paint job, and matching chassis, wasn't me . The previous owner did that, but I kinda' like the look. 

Now I'll have to wait until I get a servo and some other bits , and paint up the driver plus attach the light bar .
This will be a bit of a non box art job. Now I just have to find the custom stickers I purchased years ago and stored in a safe place (I can't find again..lol) 

Do those missing stickers say "Tonka" on them?

Nice, it's an original body without side mirrors 

1st color is sprayed, tomorrow the white roof will follow. Also made some stickers for the car.

 
 

I love the stickers. Especially bibendum.

Thx, didnt know he has a name

Yes bibendum michelin originaly he was made from tires. It's an icon.

Currently I'm hovering over pulling the trigger on an Ultrasonic cleaner - Thinking a 6L unit. Please chime in with experiences, as I'm only guessing that it's a decent size for the money (~$120 on Amazon). I'm hoping I can fit the Super Hornet chassis inside (Maybe without the basket? Do you NEED the basket for large parts??). This cleaner will see good use, as I have a used Vintage Grasshopper on the way that struck my fancy, and I've got a line out for a used Falcon that needs some love and a new home. I found myself completely stripping down the newly acquired used Super Hornet last night, and reduced it to this for a thorough cleaning and rebuild:

 

I suppose I should start my first rebuild thread maybe?
