Hi just a little update. I tell you it is real nerve racking cutting open doors on a good body and then to start on the body bracing so here we go.

Thanks Chris for looking in on the progress . I am pulling out all the knowledge of modeling to try to pull this one off but i dont know if i will go back to the smaller scale lol Darryl. Thanks Jeremy for the kind words and the Wilder the better . Thank you kindly Bill it means a lot coming from a master builder if you dont mind me saying so and your Dragster it is hard to tell if its a moder or the real 1.1 great stuff . Doing my best Rob or trying too and Doorslamers & Pro Mods are so awsome . I am thinking of doing one of Zappias Rat HQ Monaro in 1/16 , make a Resin mould and go from their and the Van Checkmate was always a favourate of mine on the show circuit as i had a couple of EH,s in the years gone by I am a street rodder now thanks mate see ya .

Another killer build coming up and the 55 looks great , just waiting for you to give a 1/16 a go .Keep up the good work .

Man my eyes are all crossed up with them rivets I had to shake my head a few times great work mate keep it up .

Thanks everyone for the kind words and i will get the hang of posting one day this is a top site for all the knowledge and skills that are around and not to mention the first rate builders , with all the years of modeling i am still learning thanks guys .

Recieved my rear hubs and brakes yesterday from MicroNitro amazing parts hey. Rear end pulled down for paint and final fitting.

Back again with a more recent update on the progress . Got the steering colum done and the driver seat , rear end is just about finished so some more photos comments are welcome. Started to fill in the firewall.

Hi guys I dont know what went wrong with the post i did on the 23/5/13 but when i looked today it was gone so i will add a couple of photos and some updated in the progress . I have been busy with my job and just did some more progress on Thursday. I will put some more on if this works .

Thanks guys for all the nice complements and the CO is a 50 Ford resin . I try to get better every time i do a new build , the hardest is the paint to get a mirror finish LOL Darryl.

Just afew more LOL.

Hi guys a few photos of some of my models I have done over the years that are my favourites hope you like them.

Man that is looking awsome it just needs the gas and your smokin and the colours go so good together great work mate. Could you tell me where is the best place to find info on wiring for Pro Mods thanks Darryl.

I also choose to make a new design rear wing and open up the back glass to look more like a charger style and give the front a little grill and spot lights , so on with the build and lets see what else we can update lol Darryl.

Hi guys back with a few photos of my proposed paint idea and decals that i am attempting to do myself for the first time so the two basic colours will be Yellow Pearl (bottom half) with Purple Pearl on top and remember this is just a ruff setup. It has taken a lot of time to sort out the layout and colours and to keep wiyh an idea of the past sponsors of the time so here we go and i would welcome your coments thanks lol Darryl.

Thanks very muchly Randy and i know what you mean as I wear coke bottle specks to do my modeling lol.

It means a lot to get comments from people like yourself with the skills to performe awsome work for the modeling community .

That is a nice build I bet that would have given S W C Wwillys arun for their money mate trully awsome.

Hi guys have been a bit slack lately but will have a update soon on body work . Have been busy on other stuff. Thanks for all the nice feedback Darryl.

Thanks mate for the interest in my project .

Thanks you for looking at my project and kind remarks. When I start a new build I do a lot of research and the places to get the right parts. I try to do more scratch building each time a new build starts so try the build as their is a lot of guys here to help.

So do I.This is my first attempt at a 1/16th build and I'm lovin it. I have always built 1/24th and1/25th Drag,Custom, Rods, thanks for the kind words Jarrod.

I am glad I decided to post my build on this forum as there is a lot of encouragement and a lot of good advice. Great Modelers here and lots of incredible work going on thank you for your feedback.
