The rims are begging for some valve stems!!

Okay, Cranky, here is what I like...

...so many people bemoaned this kit - "it's good for parts, but I don't care for the car" - well, your model is proof that even a OOB model can be unique and cool with the addition of creativity. Great work so far.

Well Doc, you are doing an amazing job on this kit. Nice use of the Valejo colors to give the impression this car was rode hard and put away wet. Can't wait to see more of this.

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks, CRANKYHEADS.  More coming shortly.  Cheers, DC

[Dogfish_7]

[Dr. Cranky]

Well, here's what happens every time we get close to finishing a first model in the new year, a certain restlessness of spirit takes over and Doctor Cranky immediately digs through his costume closet . . . and VOILA.  DONN YOST COVER YOUR EYES!

Good Lord ! Lets see ... Screw gun ? Check ! 3 in wood screws ? Check ! 2 by 4s ? Check ! Do it !

Alright , I have now put your fashion designer in an empty room where she can no longer do any more damage to the Forum's members eyesight .

Hmmm , what do I do about you now ? Therein lies the mystery ! Because the answer is , absolutely nothing ! You are whacked out beyond redemption ! What a wonderful sight to see, first thing in the morning !

You ain't right , Virg , in no way , shape , or form !

I'm just getting ready for the STYRENE-A-POCALYPSE, Donn!  This is when you find that kit that really drives you crazy and you know you will end up building dozens of them.  Well, I feel like this is it.

 

In 2014, I will be building 12 of these, one every month:  6 Shiny, 6 Not Shiny, and we'll see what happens then!

 

[Dr. Cranky]

Here's some more progress.  I still have to add some weathering touches and some more interior details . . . stay tuned in for more.  This one will be finished this weekend.

Great stuff as always Cranky.  I'm wondering, did you do the white over red on the firewall with a stencil ?

[crazyrichard]

really cool ( to be clear i mean the rod not.....  )

Sure did, Greg.

LOL, really?  When was the last time you saw a big model builder wearing a Russian military helmet and gas mask, checker suspenders, a kilt, Miami Dolphin socks, and foofy and comfy Chinese-made Crocs?

Wow,

[Dr. Cranky]

Thanks Co.  While building this model, I kept thinking of a story I heard (don't know if it is really true) that when Mr. Gibbons comes into certain towns he likes to rent some jalopies and drive around town in them and in style.  But this idea (image) really become a driving force behind this build.
