I had a hard time making up my mind on what wagon to build. This was roughly the 13th one I unboxed to look at but the minute I found it, I knew this was it. Still thinking about what direction to take it but none the less this is my entry for sure.  |

Can't wait to see the paint job, I've seen those masks on ebay and have thought about getting some, but I want to see someone that isn't the sellers pics first.

Those wheels are going to look great.
I'm curious about the flame masks as well. Looking forward to seeing more.

Ah man they look good, going to have to order a set of the 49-50 ford ones I believe. Nice touch matching the wheels to them as well

Thanks guys. I walked away from the bench pretty satisfied and happy after laying these.
Ny- the masks are easy to stick on. They're easy to reposition. Once they're where you want them to be, you just rub them down. They stick pretty good. I had experimented with them before and I had some overspray here and there but I think I did a pretty good job here. I'm proud of myself.
A couple of tips I do have. Don't use if you're using spray paint. Too much paint comes out and you will have overspray everywhere and a thick layer of it. Also, remove the mask soon after spraying so the paint doesn't crack off when you take it off. Pretty much like any other mask, I guess.
Disclosure: However, I'm still not an expert at it.

Thank you guys. It means a lot. Mike, the Merc is one I experimented on when I first got these masks a few years back. I used spray paint so it wasn't the best and no base coat under the lime gold. Not too shabby but wasn't sure I liked it so it went back in the box. But I found at this point that the masks are easy to use.   Same type of masks for this one:  And I have another one I'm working on for future release. shhhhh-smiley-emoticon But all in all, I love these. I have duplicates of every set with the exception of the ones for the Semi. Maybe one year, all my builds will have flames.  |

Nice job on the Merc - I must try these masks. Since I only have one anyways, i may as well use it up.
Then go get some more off eBay I guess - I swear I keep in eBay in business I think, Lol
