  1. One of your best builds Jim, digging it!
  2. Great job on the front frame mods. It looks super channeled from the front with the frame horns flanking the grill. 'Nother great deuce build!
  3. Clean, clean, clean. All your builds are pristine, this is another one!
  4. Great original build. The engine detail is superb.
  5. Awesome. Funny thing is I just saw a red 55 Handyman with a big cam and Flowmaster rumble cruise by my work this morning, and now I see this post. Weird. Nice engine detail and paint.

    32 Ford's

    Man, all these awesome 32's!! Here's a 5 window I was working on a little over a year ago. So close to being completed but frustration, Corona, and a wall spelled it's demise. My biggest modeling blunder to date. I miss it and will build another. ">http:// ">http:// ">http:// ">http://
  7. I love early 'vettes. I love blown flip nose drag cars... All the negative comments steered me way clear of this one though. It will be interesting to see you work through the fitment issues. Good luck!
  8. Ohh wow, that sits perfect.
  9. Mutual respect all around!! The work done on this forum is amazing and the single biggest inspiration to me. I love all the different build styles everybody has. Its easy to see the builders personality come through in their work and I can bet I'd be able to tell who built what if everything was put side by side. The sheer talent and skill level displayed makes me want to try and catch up. And that's the fun part.. Jason, what's up with the Merc? We want to see some progress!
  10. Great work on that dash and roll bar. Neat build.
  11. What do I win?? Tell you the truth, it didnt look exactly like the Mazda piece, but looked like a rotary. I remember reading about that one-off somewhere....Awesome job thinking outside the box. I'm sure your the sole builder of a Wankel powered rod and that's plain cool!
  12. This build makes me feel like a caveman. Next level stuff for sure!
  13. You are a machine! Strap in for yet another one of Ira's Wild Rides...
  14. Man, kiiler job so far, hope you get it done..
  15. I'll take a wild guess and say Mazda Rotary? Very cool whatever it is..
  16. Thanks for the kind words guys! Had a mishap though. I managed to sand out the few specks of dust without disturbing the base coat. Was feeling ambitious so got set up to clear it with some Summit Racing brand 2 part clear I had left over from a 1:1 motorcycle paint project. Talk about a negative reaction! I don't know if it was caused by the lacquer thinner used in the base coat, the age of the clear (over 2 years, but stored airtight in a relatively cool, dark place), or a simple compatibility issue between the Testors' Enamel and Summit urethane, but the clearcoat ate right through the base coat. Childhood memories of baking Shrinky-dinks came to mind. I've got so many variables going on I'll just call it a loss and stick to the system all the way through next time. Lesson learned. Good thing is it didn't attack the Metalizer prime coat or harm the plastic, so long story short, I dropped the Rivi off at the purple pool. Two steps back, but I'm looking at it as an opportunity to make it even better....after screaming a few choice expletives of course!
  17. Wow, looks great! Wheely nice job on the spokes!
  18. What a great old school custom. The color, wheels, stance....I could go on and on. Pass me the keys please!
  19. Great foil job, and that paint fits the build perfectly!
  20. This is very cool, keep going..
  21. Wow, thats nice! Digging that color.
  22. Mike, Im still up in the air as far as taillights are concerned. Man, the asymmetrical idea is pretty cool. Highly considering that! Andy, get these wheels! Pegasus knocked it out of the park with these. Not only are the wheels great examples, but the tires are shaped perfectly and have the best detail I've ever seen.
