Well done Dave!!

Top notch work!

Sweet! That interior detail is mean.

I like the look too Ken. Very nice work! I love the color choice.

Wow! Very nice work. You guys have me eyeing my Elvis build now! Got all the parts and this gives me the incentive.

Great colors, great engine, nice detail!!

I'm with the multi-build group. I get bored with one. Also, if I run into a problem that befuddles me I need to have another to keep my interest up while I think through the problem. I do keep it to no more than 3 because I don't have a dedicated shop so I worry about losing or braking things. In the end, to each his/her own. That's what keeps the hobby going!

Wow Eric, that's a lot in one post. I can answer a few. I prime all major parts and most everything else. i only hand paint when I have to. Some interior parts, chassis parts I can't spray. Smaller parts. I've yet to buy an airbrush but its on the radar. I've been back in modeling for about two years. It's really your call. Mine is budgetary constraints. Can't help you on the enamel/acrylic issue. I use both.There's lots of info on the two, so I suggest Google. Yes, paint runs when you are too close or spraying it on too heavy. There are tutorials on the site. You should peruse them. I still find new tips after two years. I have a shelf I keep my models on but its getting full. They do get dusty up there so I might have to break out the air. That's a personal choice as well. I just disassembled one build. Use glue sparingly. Buy a box of toothpicks and apply your glue with them. NEVER apply glue directly from the tube. I've not had a problem getting glue on myself. I reiterate; Go through the tutorials! Oh, and have fun!!!

I ran into a problem with the plumbing for my turbos and thus don't have anything to show but frustration!! Dang shock towers.

Wow, I'm a Chevy guy and I wondered why my last build was a Dodge, and I'm working on a 300 now. I also have a Charger lined up for later in the year. I don't know - in the end I just love cars of all kinds.

Glad to see you do this as well. Thanks for the info!

Would make for an interesting build. I just bought the Foose edition this past weekend and I'm trying to figure out now what I plan to do with it. Definitely won't be stock out of the box.

Okay, pick me off the floor Douglas! Sweet!!

Very nice build. The paint is excellent. The dio is nice as well. My wife was as impressed as I am.

Very nice! Definite sleeper.

If I saw a 1:1 like that it would make me cry! Very nice work!

Very good Paul. I'm envious of all you guys that have a dedicated space.

Very nice engine detail I'm currently building one as well but with the 440. Very nice kit.

I can sort of be excused as I'm primarily a Chevy guy but for some reason I have more Mopars in my stable!

Fireball Modelworks has them with the wheels.

I agree, the kit box was a turnoff, but your results are terrific!

Impressive blueprint Misha!

The Calnaga carb to me is the most detailed available of that model. The shortcoming seems to be in the venturi area but there are ways to detail those. You can go PE linkage as well. I have a set of those and I really haven't seen better. Maybe someone out there 3-D prints them.

I've done both, and you'll hear comments both ways. I think it depends on the color and what kind of paint. On my most recent build I painted the frame and floorpan black enamel with no primer and no problems. However if you're painting the floorpan the color of the body you may want to prime depending on the color, especially if you are using acrylics. The main thing is to wash the part first to remove any foreign matter to give the paint a good surface to adhere to.

I have always loved that Fairlane and you did a great job on this build. The paint looks fantastic.
