Phildaupho Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Great looking hot rod over all. Well built. I like the fog light up front and those very cool rear tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Very nicely done! Not over the top, quietly understated, and just perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Excellent build. I just started that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Stunningly realistic as evidenced by your beautiful photos. This car is right on the money for current trends. If I could respectively suggest two small items that would make it even better? Grab a small brush and add a touch of black paint to the bracket in between the four bars - this is almost always part of the chassis and therefore would not be chrome plated.. And add two straight pins for radiator support rods from the firewall to the radiator.. This will help highlight that beautiful Arden. I cant get over how perfectly draped your plug leads are!

espo Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Beautiful looking Sedan. Besides the great looking subdued colors the Arden conversion engine just looks like it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan Alan, I must admit to having forgotten to paint the 4 bar brackets - it will be addressed immediately ! Re the firewall rods, there is only one centrally positioned hole in the radiator so a vee’d 2 into 1 is needed. I will get right on it.

matthijsgrit Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 Very nice build! Great use of colors and I really like the wheels. Time to grab some Rodder's Journals!!
