Have never seen AMT rigs there, nice score.

Fabulous build and great back story, well done.

Thanks guys ? got the wheels done ...

Cool start. I kinda like the second wheels pictured.

Got the trim done this morning, it’s starting to look like something now...

That looks great! I’m a big fan of different colors on stuff , I built the first version of this kit and opted for a different paint scheme as well, sorry to hijack your thread with my pic

That’s cool, great build.

The wagon builds up real nice, one of the easiest /best fitting kits I’ve built

That is cool, glad you are reunited with your magazine.

That looks fantastic, well done.

I have my chair and my popcorn, ready to watch this one evolve......

Bill, cash is dead, do that deal in bit coin??

Good looking build , I love your zest for the mutts?

It’s always good to walk thru most of the isles at hobby lobby, one never knows what you’ll see that will work for something you hadn’t thought of yet, as in, ‘oh, look at that, that’s interesting, maybe that’ll work for_______’ and ya, sometimes clearance stuff is hidden in plain view in a middle isle display. I find more cool stuff walking the isles looking for my wife , lol.

Absolutely stunning, fantastic build and attention to detail, well done sir!

I’ve gotten in the routine of pooling the molotow chrome on some scrap plastic, then use a toothpick, small brush or one of those small fuzzy tipped plastic deals to apply it, way better control and it looks just as good.

That’s looking sweet! The foil will really make that pop.

Thanks, I traded two boxes and a few bucks for that one, got a smoking deal on it, or I wouldn’t have done it. I have most of my stuff arranged by category, but the fast moving stuff is in the two top drawers ( sockets/ratchets/air/electric tools in top drawer, wrenches in second drawer), got more invested in that thing than what I payed for my house , haha.

Not a snap on snob, but after 30 years of doing this for a paycheck , I like to use what works, and what holds value . As far as tool boxes go, I prefer snap on for work, I’ve found them to be a touch better than the competition, and hold value better. Luckily, I bought the last one I plan on buying a few years back, and if I have to stand in front of it 8 hours a day, I want something nice to look at, lol.

What irked me today? Nothing, nada, work was relatively smooth, weather straightened out , enjoyed the ride home from work , and so far, am having a delightful evening at home. i hope this does not irk any of you ?

Lol, not sure I was too keen on this in the beginning, but you’re right, the black top really helps it, I think once the chrome trim is done and all the bits are on it, it’ll ‘flow’ a bit more and look quite possibly like a real car.

Very nice! This is going to be special, carry on.

The next ‘cycle’ of car model building is going to be huge. Why do I say this you ask? Simple, when all of us 50+ age guys kick it, there is going to be a glut in the secondary market, kits will be super cheap, so many will pick it up due to low cost...... ya, that was a little tongue in cheek, but, I see it happening, I know a lot of the guys on here have huge piles of kits ( myself included ), they all gotta go somewhere when we are gone.

Nice job, I like the freight?

Looks great! You do have to beat some of these kits into submission, lol.
