Very nice! Tim

We love you and your builds Ira! :-)

Nice work! Did you use the salt method for the rust? I'd like to try it, but afraid it won't turn out so well. Tim

Nice tongue! Tim

Thanks Ira and Bart! Tim

Very nice! Tim

Thanks guys, appreciate all the positive feedback! Hoping to actually get this one finished. At least the body. No plans to dip it at this stage. Will just primer and sand as needed. Tim

Yet another work in progress. Got this from my brother as a build and wanted to do something with it but couldn't think of what, but saw Truscale's post for his 39 Merc sedan w/fade-away fenders and inspiration struck me! Started by chopping the top about 5 scale inches (5mm). Took about 1/8" out of the front of the rear section of roof and filled the gap between the front and middle roofs which also allowed the rear roof section to drop down to meet the rest of the roof. Removed rear window as a section and trimmed a wedge out to allow the window to fit flush. Top chop completed minus any putty work/sanding. Fade-aways started. I used the running boards for the top of them after lengthening them a little and narrowing some. Trimmed out some styrene for the sides. Puttied over and smoothed out (first coat). Rear end needed some rounding off, so I had some blister pack from a computer mouse I had been saving. Worked like a charm. Probably should have dipped it in the purple pond, but got antsy to work on it. Will try to get primer on it once the weather warms up again this weekend. Thanks for looking. Tim

Completely forgot about the meeting last night! Not sure I would have been much in the mood also as I pulled a muscle in karate earlier and it's still quite tender. You guys going to be getting together at Doug's Saturday? Tim

Looking good! Any luck finding a bumper? Tim

Nice!!! Tim

Love it! I keep wanting to build wagons, but never think to pick up glue bombs to supply the extra roof! PM sent also! Tim

Love it! Tim

Can't wait to see the chop. Always thought something didn't look right. Love whatcha've done so far! Tim

Very nice!!! Tim

Sorry, missed the update about your health and the build. Sorry to hear. Hope to see the new build soon! Tim

Very nice! Makes me want to dig my old D50 out to rebuild. Tim

I like it! The old vintage racers (usually roadsters) sat tall like that. Keep going! Tim

Oh yeah! Def use that exhaust! Tim

Simply beautiful! Tim

Picked up an original issue of this. Looks like fun. Like the color and stance. Tim

Real. Tim

Love the paint! Anyway you build it, gonna look good! And welcome! Tim

Can't make the meeting tonight, but should be at the next one! If you guys get together some other time before the next meeting, let me know. Tim

Your dad would approve! Glad to have you back and building! Tim
