Realistic looking weathering on the finish. -
Like the original looking body and wood finishes.
-
A lot of different design elements in the body and trim. Like the rear fender flares. The interior design looks good, and the engine details are really well done.
-
Got the final coat of Tamiya gloss white and clear. A light polish and a little chrome foil trim. Wheels and tires are done. Time to put the interior in place and put it on the chassis. I have tinted the windows and adding chrome foil to the moldings on the windows.
-
Beautiful looking color and finish. The chrome trim is all cleanly done.
-
Like the new color.

07 Solstice

Remember reading an article in either Hot Rod or Motor Trend about a cottage company that was putting LS2 engines in Solstice for fun and profit. Could this be one? -
What did you see on the road today?

Not able to get a picture since I was going west on a four-lane divided HI way in a construction zone and Kansas finest had someone pulled over in the east bond lanes. What caught my eye was the squad car was a Dodge Challenger with a blue colored body and a silver roof and rear deck lid. Till now I have only seen the KHP using mostly Dodge Chargers in either black or white and Dodge SUV's in black. The paint job reminds me of a KHP Charger I saw at a Quick Trip gas station last year with the same paint job. The driver was taking a break with another officer in a black Charger and the unusual paint job is what I noticed. Maybe that Kansas is either changing their color scheme or the new colors may denote some other special type of service. So, if you're pushing the speed limit in Kansas, I suggest that if you see a blue Challenger, hood scoop and all, coming up on you from behind, just know they may be there to ruin your day. -
Great looking paint finish and the body trim is all cleanly done.
-
Great looking paint finish and like the bright green color. Good engine detailing. Like the wheels and tires.
-
Great looking paint color and finish. The flame decals look good. Like the stance and the way, the wheel and tires tuck up under the fenders.
-
Great looking Ford, and I think it looks better without the stripes. The trim and interior are really clean looking, and I like the stance.

1937 HRG roadster

Plus, the suspension is what used to be called "under slung" since the axle and the frame are mounted under the leaf springs. -
1960 Patina Chevy Pickup

I think you nailed the look. Sun baked all summer and left out in the one or two winter rain storms. Left to sit out for a few years and this is what you get. Like the way you did the seats and the rubber floor mat.
