This'll be another good one to watch.

You could always re-do the foil work if you choose. Especially for as much work as you're putting into this build. Looking good buddy.

Heya Steve, If you don't mind, can you explain these processes that you use to weather the firewalls and engines? I'd love to know how you do this.

Great work on getting rid of the bulletbroof window paneling. That clear sheet fits in there like it was made for it.

As with all of your work in the past and now this........you seem to set the bar higher each and every time you build something Steven. For a while I got stuck in kind of an assembly line approach where I just did everything the same but you've inspired me to expand my skillset with each and every new build. I truly admire you as a modeler and thank you for going the extra mile to explain your processes.

Looking forward to seeing what you'll be doing with this one Barry. I had a 306 in my Fox Body Mustang. Fun times........

Dude that engine looks crazy good. Nice n' weathered up a bit and I absolutely love that carburetor. Is that a Fireball Holley?

Looking forward to it bud. Try not to put undo pressure on yourself for the show. Just focus on getting it done no matter if you miss the deadline. I crammed one year and missed stuff that I normally would've caught.

Very cleanly built Eric. These are some very well detailed kits right out of the box and I'm glad that Revell decided to re-visit this car and come up with some new molds for it.

A little progress while I'm commenting here and there. This is around two weeks work and believe me.....what you're seeing here is anything but a boring black suspension. There are 3 different shades of black along with some other similar but slightly different colors splashed here and there. Still gotta put the brakes and wheel backs on, install the crossmember and exhaust system and apply black BMF to the fuel tank retaining straps.

Looks great so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how that panel liner is going to do it's magic later on.

Making good progress on this one Kevin. Good to see you pick it back up again brother.

This build looks like fun Dave. Great detailing so far.

Some good work already going on with a tough kit. Looking forward to what's next Greg.

Totally missed this one bud. Amazing color and fantastic looking car. As usual, your photography is amazing in itself as it really brings out the very best in your already good builds.

Thanks Mike. Been out of the loop for the last week or so. My wife has had a kidney stone that she cannot pass so we're waiting on an appointment now to get it removed after all the Xrays and urology appointments. I worked on the suspension yesterday and today and sanded all of the molded in wiring off of the inner fender liners/ engine sidewalls. I'll be going back with actual wire harnesses from scratch on this one. I had the front suspension all painted up and ready for the application of tonal variations between parts when I noticed something off. One thing I learned at the Nats was not to "let certain things go" and I almost did it here. See the mold lines going chordwise on the leading edges of the control arms? I sanded them off and re-applied the paint. There.....much better!

Such eye candy everywhere Gil. Following.......

I read that too but didn't want to say much till I knew for sure. Like you, I hope they keep the site up and sell dvd's. A great guy.

Thanks Jeremy and yes sir, the steering wheel is PE. 'Preciate it Steve. I've learned along the way that tonal variations of the same color go a loooooooooong way in replicating more realistic interiors and engine bays. Thanks Dave. Great to have you along buddy. Almost forgot one of the most important things in this interior and something that I was preparing for when I first started this part of the build........the foot pedals. I fabbed up a swing pedal base and drilled three holes through the base to insert the three needles necessary for the pedal levers. Then I painted the levers a semi gloss black and installed the painted and detailed foot pedals to the levers. The results turned out A LOT better than the pedals that were molded into the floor to start with.

All in all a clean build Steve. The stance looks great and the wheels help set that off. Interior is well detailed out and the overall car has a very tidy appearance.

Any progress on this James?

I gotta hand it to ya bub......you sure know how to build a fine lookin' auto build. That's for dang sure. btw.....The wheels you selected for this look perfect on this.

A great model car builder and a great guy. He's got a couple of DVD's and as mentioned in the post above, a slew of helpful videos. Here's his site: Lone Wolf Custom Painting Airbrushing Model Cars Donn Yost (oldmansmodels.com)

Didn't see this till late and the survey's closed. Any chance in opening it back up?

Now THAT'S frickin' funny!! This is what happened to me except mine was a dang dog from the streets.
