Pick of your Porsche collection so far I think. Contrast between the body black and wheel black is really effective. Beautiful model mate Brian

Beautiful build! Great stance & detail. You must have a very awesome Porsche collection now! Brian

Awesome collections! I do like Hot Rods Some T based stuff & some Deuce based stuff.... very loosely based! Sorry about the picture quality, just quickies for this thread. Great thread. Brian

Mark, they are pods that would hold the instruments. With the cowl so low the dash would be around your ankles so I figured roof mounting was the way to go. David, one thing a 1:1 would be is LOUD! Thanks for the interest gentlemen Brian

Bit of fun. Body is sectioned (at the bottom) and the longer ducktail from the bucket swapped. Engine is a supercharged rotary!! Brian

Sweet build mate. Stance & detail really make it look real ..... but its not a Porsche? Brian

Totally awesome mate. This the only build of this kit that I have seen that looks real. Once again its colour & stance. Love the guards & wheel combo. I knew you had it in you. Keep up the good work (or bashing). The "How To" on the spoon guards is a good idea. Brian

Hay Joel Didn't think it was criticism at all. Good open comments make me look harder what I have done. I was just trying to explain how my weird mind works with these things!! Catch you next time Brian

I missed this one. Unique build mate. Once again it's stance & colour that makes your builds look so real. Imagine it at Bathurst!, coming into the Chase! Brian

Thanks for the kind comments gentlemen. I don't think Chip has to much to worry about. I really appreciate the comments on balance though, it's so important for a custom or hot rod design. Interesting feedback on the wheels. I don't start a custom till I have the wheels sorted, they are what the whole thing is built around. I guess I look at it as a modern interpretation of some classic styling and not an Auburn. I honestly don't know what other wheels (that I have) would work for this one. Thanks again Brian

Ebay buy that turned up with no wheels & tyres so it was ripe for a resto rod treatment. Raised the guards in the body, dropped the running boards & made it a single seater. Moved the front guards out & widened the rears. There is a few faults in the body but I'm happy with the concept. My son said it would pop monocles at Pebble Beach! Hope you like it Brian

Sydney Time Attack - Very nasty Lambo with two big ones Great model - I like turbocharged motors in a model. Something different Brian

Thanks for the encouraging remarks. I really enjoy these types of builds. They make you think as they have to look integrated & possible, if not plausible.... huh! Have a good one Brian

This was inspired by some artwork I came across on the net but if you think about it, it is pretty much in line with the early hot rods. If you take a '32 Ford Coupe, make it more aerodynamic by chopping the roof & dropping the guards, add a big racing motor in the back and you get something not to dissimilar to this... I think. Anyway it was a fun build. Brian

Good one mate. Colour & attitude work but its the little details that are really cool like the coloured lenses & the tyre decals. Brian
