LOL! I was kidding you, buddy. I need my sleep too, although it's not coming on any time soon. I worked on the body, removed the door handles, and those flairs on the front right behind each light . . . I sanded the fenders smooth, etc . . .

The more I work with this kit, the more I like it . . . the fact that the chassis fits the body so darn perfectly . . .

We'll see. I am dreaming of suede for some reason . . . ocean mist or spray color . . . foam. I don't know . . . when the time comes, the color will reveal itself, I hope.

CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOU DO TO THIS KIT!!!!

[Michigan Madman]

Hopefully this weekend I'll have some 'test results' to reveal.

[Dr. Cranky]

Well, Tom, me too. I am tempted to go crazy looking for ways to customize it, but the honest truth is I like to build the thing pretty much box stock before I start experimenting just to learn my way around the kit . . . so far so good.

I still remember what happened to me at the beginning of this year with the Revell '55 Belaire kit:

I went from this:



to this:



to this:

And wait, I built one more, to this:



A lot of sleepless nights, sure, but why sleep?

LOL!

[LAone]

this is pretty cool. im looking to pick one or two hehe this weekend.

Boy, I wish I had a little more money right now, I'd be going like fury on that kit.

Great video, Dr., too. I'm glad we waited for this- it looks absolutely fantastic, and I'll enjoy that tremendously.

Thanks for sharing doc, I will have to get me one some time in the near future!!

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, everyone. Yes, you know, it's not like I'm making a big deal about a kit that didn't exist until now! LOL!

FEED YOUR STYRENE HABBIT with more, more, MORE STYRENE!!!

Interesting project, can't wait to see what you come up with.

[Dr. Cranky]

I just had to share this as I continue to do some research on colors and body styles, etc . . . all good possibilities for this kit:



LONG LIVE RUST!

[Dr. Cranky]

The temptation is always too great:

This is very interesting build, can't wait to see Hudson completed. Keep it going, I'll be watching this one. And those Classic Chevrolets are looking really good too.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, Niko! Greetings to all the friends in Vantaa!

[Jantrix]

Virgil, I think you really aught to just create a CBP and then sit back and watch the action. The same for the Revell 48.

[Dr. Cranky]

Rob, I thought about that, but I don't want to just sit back and watch! I want to build too!

The frenzy of energy that goes around, comes around! Says EYEGORE! He's like the YODA of the Lab-RAT-ory these days!

Cheers, DC

Ok, I know this probably isn't the most original of ideas, but I hope to get a couple for these:

[Dr. Cranky]

I am hoping someone (Slixx Decals?) will put out a version of these decals.

I am hoping someone (Slixx Decals?) will put out a version of these decals.

I doubt Slixx will, because nowadays if it ain't NHRA, they don't do it. There are others like Just Want To Build A Model that do make very nice NASCAR decal sheets, so we can only hope!
