SUPERB attention to detail- outside photos make all the difference

WOW- looks like a real car-very sharp!

paint work looks superb!!! nice to see an Original

that close up of the red car engine looks like the real deal!!!

Thanks.... Scott....I started with a 1/8 scale Revell /Monogram 32 FORD highboy hot rod. the rest is kit bashed and scratch built. I finally got the body painted right- so should have some updates soon................the body is resin cast available on e bay at times. .............................

excellent work on the brake shoes and backing plates-the small details really add up

what kit are the front wheels from? very cool build!!!

super build of a mediocre kit-it looks just right the way it is -did you ever see the ''BUMERC''- a Buick powered Mercedes ssk that Briggs Cunningham built and raced back in the 50s. heres a pic. also liked the way you changed the hood ornament from the excalibur to a gun sight!!!

nice work-looks real

super job-I like the standards with the painted head lamp doors- nice grill detail and the running board color is perfect

I like the wide whites- nice diorama too...

thanks guys for the nice words. should have more pics up soon.... the resin body has been a major pain- first with the fish eye in the primer and now with the paint that I had to strip in parts. I just remembered its supposed to look like a car that has been on the road for 20 years so maybe i'm being too picky about the finish......

this is just SUPERB- best shop diorama I have seen in a long time especially the floors -they are such an important part and yours look ''spot on''-pun intended

great patina-especially the hood ornament gold part..I like the seat stuffing coming out as well

1/18 from the parts box....

1/18 die cast from the ''parts box''

Built box stock with Fulton sun visor added. nice correct proportions on this kit

I like the home made grill- seen those before nice weathering job too. that dent in the roof looks like it would hold a gallon of water.

OUTRAGEOUS Killer paint job!!!!!

I have spent some time ''Toning down'' wipers- first of all they are never chrome plated and always stainless on this period car.[the stainless takes on a dull look naturally] one could strip the chrome and paint them a medium grey. however they still may be too thick. you could get away using the blades and scratch build the arms. since the model is done I would just put them in a more parked position and be done with it- FABULOUS BUILD ANYWAY.....

nice work-looks just like they did way back when...

Amazing- I don't recall seeing this before, it is certainly Museum quality. Harry had an incredible eye for authenticity.

Man -that is SHARP Amazing attention to detail- the stripe is super crisp. the interior looks real and the engine bay as does the under chassis. my only critique is the wipers- they need the rubber blades painted and to be positioned better. besides that it looks real!!!

Scratch built some interior door hardware and panels today. the doors are not going to open so the detail is good enough for a peek inside the window......

Raymond Lowey would be proud!!!!!! very sharp build
