Superlative in every way. The cleanliness of build and quality of the finish is through the roof remarkable. Thanks for posting it. -
Thanks guys. Like they say, it's tough getting old, but I'm not about to throw in the towel yet. If this build takes more than a year, so be it. It will get done eventually.

Thanks Donato. I've never not finished a build and I don't think this one will be the first. But I have noticed my skills are not what they used to be. I started this thing last September and I'm hoping I can get it done at least in less than a whole year.

Looks amazing, Pierre. The wheels are the icing on the cake. Let us know when final presentation is ready to be viewed in the under-glass section. -
It's always great to finish a build. Especially when it turns out as great as this one did. Lots of nice eye-catching details and very clean work.

Had to start over on the shifter. the putty deal did not work out at all. Also started on the fire extinguisher. After those pieces are done, I can add the bars to the engine compartment and flip the chassis over and start on the underside which will be a lot of stuff to do. At least I finally found some pretty good reference pictures of the underside. Turns out it has a quick-change rear axle assembly. That's going to be a mind-numbing transformation that won't be close at all. I'm going to keep the detail to a bare minimum. Just want to finish this one and move on.

My bad, I thought you had the wheels when you posted what they looked like. Must be coming on an old steamship that barely floats. -

Pierre, everything okay? Waiting patiently for more on this one. Well not so patiently, I guess. -
Lots of nice detailing going on here. Looking forward to completion.

Very interesting, Shawn. So, this was a really real stock car racer from the 60's. Excellent job replicating it. Surprised it actually ran as good as it did against the competition the owner chose to race against. -
Yes, you may need another set. Sometimes you get lucky, and they cover well.

Man, I'm getting tired of working on this thing. And I see no end in sight. Just keep plugging along till I can finish it. Definitely bit off more than I can chew.

Excellent build as always, Steve. Everything is top notch in your execution of the build, especially knowing that you were working with a resin body. Thank you for posting it.
