  1. Thank you all for the kind words ?
  2. Very cool, R, the finish is amazing! Great stance with the fenders hugging the tires.
  3. Thanks, Larry, I appreciate it.
  4. Hmmmm....I don't see the steering shaft, good call?. Not sure about the gear box though. Hard to see but I'll check the model. it's not just missing stuff, there's things I just forgot to do. It's embarrassing ?. And YES! A flathead!
  5. OK, the California tags would indicate nice warm weather precluding the need for a heater which was probably an option in '49. ? . Next!......I'm joking....good eye ?! There's more....
  6. Thanks, Dave. I found another one while searching my photos. Un-chopped.
  7. When I saw the 1:1, I had to build one in 1:25. It's pretty unusual. I didn't nail it, but it was fun.
  8. 'Here's a pair of coupes that I have left un-chopped for whatever reason I might have had. It may have been just laziness, I dunno ?
  9. My Daughter gave me this kit one Christmas a decade or so ago. I cannot understand why Revell equipped this classic woodie with only a Cadillac engine. But so be it. After taking some of these today, I discovered a few things I neglected to do (as is my habit, hurrying to get the next kit started) See if you can spot them. You may find more than I did ! ? help me out!
  10. This Monogram kit from yesteryear was built to be a Christmas gift for a very big Mopar fan several years ago and only one of four such builds for her. These pix are all I have of this project and were taken before it was totally finished.. Thanks for looking ? ! I have just received the Revell kit of "Dom's GTX" so I can have one for ME! ..... Man, I love that color!
  11. This is Master work. Just amazing, Steve ? !
  12. You definitely have a knack for this sort of thing... super nice build ? It's amazing what can be done with spare parts and Evergreen. ?

    It looks pretty good to me, close to scale on your build. Did you get it from Scale Hobbies or the Plastruct site ? They showed 1:48 in a single diamond pattern and 1:16 too. I may try the 1:16, should be close enough. Aluminum diamond plate is an ideal material for this type of vehicles and I want it!! What did you use for the metal finish?

    I just did and for 1:24 scale they have "double diamond " plate but not the usual type (single diamond?). Oh well....thanks for the link, though.

    I am in awe. These Gassers are excellent! An incredible amount of work shows on every one. I especially like the "aluminum" diamond plate. Where can I get that? I have tried to find it without success.
  16. I would love to get one of these. I had a 1:1 '62 convertible back in the day. Reclining buckets were handy on Saturday nights. ?
  17. As old as those cutters are, there's lots of DNA on them ?
  18. That's the one I have. Got it on clearance somewhere. I know it's historic but it's way too long. Won't fit in a regular display box. Good for parts though ?
  19. Keep some band-aids handy. I have a box of band-aids within my reach at all times ?
  20. Keep some band-aids handy. I have a box of band-aids within my reach at all times ?
  21. I would have been quite disappointed with the Daytona. I have one already that I don't want to build ? but I could sell the box on Ebay for hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars!?
  22. They have that disclaimer on the '53 Stude in a tin box. How many choices do they have on that one? I was going to order it but then I saw the "note" down below the description so I started looking around and ordered another '29 roadster ?
  23. I'm not good enough with my airbrush to be able to do realistic flame art. It's a nice look; unusual but gaining popularity among 1:1 custom painters. I like it but It's not traditional (yet) . This 1:1 below is awesome but not a possibility for my limited abilities. There's probably a tutorial on it.
