  1. Excellent fab and engineering....
  2. Every once in a while, I run across an impressive WIP like yours. The amount of time, skill and attention to detail makes this one of those times, Thanks.
  3. You can't goo wrong with a 49 Merc! Originally built almost ten year ago "Tang" was an experiment in custom techniques, I used ever mod I knew of to make this one. Sadly, it was partially wrecked while moving in 2016. But in 2022 I was able to rebuild it using spare parts. I rebranded it the "Ghost" since it was back from the dead.

  4. Not bad for a go too model kit, yours looks very nice. I really like the mods you're making.
  5. Nice model. If you had an asphalt shingle on a board under that car, these pix would be very convincing!
  6. Very interesting subject and your paint/decals look great.
  7. I like what you have here, I resisted this kit for years just because everyone else was building it. I was recently gifted the Mazmanian version and have been nibling at it some. Watch Don Yost YouTube video for this kit. It is helpful...
  8. Your skillset never ceases to amaze, john. Beautiful model of a beautiful car, and of course perfectly detailed.
  9. I hear ya, but I think the blower and scoop sticking out of the hood are a giveaway. LoL
  10. Today I added the pedals, brake master cylinder and some wheelie bars. Now I realize I used the brake MC from the Nova, which appears to non-power brakes. That will need addressed! But after the WB went on. Do I add a spoiler and chute? After all it is a Pro Street car... What do you think?
  11. Interesting build, I've not seen one of these before...
  12. Finishing up some pieces and assembly. Body is almost ready to prime and I need to tie up a few loose ends.
  13. "And get this, when done, the tire won't even be up inside the wheelwell." That is actually the way it usually is, but you have a much more realistic chassis. And the experience of doing it. That my friend is what this hobby is all about...
  14. Had some time today so I knocked up an exhaust.
  15. Thanks again to all for looking...
  16. Thank you. I found them in my spare parts box, I do believe the could be from one of the older gasser kits maybe the 57 flip nose vette. I added the Hoosier logo from a decal sheet then sprayed them with flat clear.
  17. Thanks, the interior is done with Krylon Satin Pimento I found at Hob Lob. The chassis fit nicely after extending it about 1/4" and after fitting the firewall I just had to fill in under the windshield cowl. Then I noticed the inner fenders would fit, soooooo. I did make a radi support thought. I'm actually surprised it worked out so well.
  18. I'm interested to see the next step and to know what tool your using?

    It's a good looking Rod. Nice stance, cleanly built and perfect color. To bad about the paint finish. Personally I have had great success with Tamyia spray paint and trouble with enamels. The paint topic is an ongoing discussion at our club meetings. I'd love to have a good tutorial to share with the guys.
  20. I have enjoyed watching this process, well done...
  21. Now that is a great rendition of Bubble Bee, nicely done.
