Really nice work here Blair!!!

Great idea and terrific turn out!!!!

Like a few have said and I'll echo, nice unique model and great paint.

You've got it all in the bag Joe!! Lookin forward to the outcome.

Man you're just strollin' right along through this part of the build! It takes me forever to get past all of the plan out. Where'd you get the little nuts and bolts for the under ride bars Fred?

Nice color Mike!!! The car looks fabulous!!!

Been there......done that....and yes stuff like this'll make you pull your hair clean out! lol .. Great job JC!

There's a lot of us that happens to bubba!! Go light on yourself.

What color did you use for your carburetors Blair? Those look the part.

No problem buddy! I'll be watchin' the show!

Man that workbench is da bomb Joe!!!

Thank you guys a million for participating and help making it what it was.

Looking good so far Michael!

Pat: Gosh I don't know. I'll have to get the micrometer out to measure but it's in my pin vise set. Tim: Yeah I plan on making them to where they open up. Will have to do a lot of clean up but I should be able to make 'em work and look presentable. And yes....plan out like this takes me in the upwards of 6 months to plan and build sometimes. Thanks Dan!!

Nice!!! I actually do have some of this stuff in my bench stock. Thanks Fred!

Well you know I'm gonna be in on this! Go for it Dan!

Dan: The way things are looking, I'll probably get pushed out to the garage at some point. We are in the process of adopting a child and will need the spare bedroom in the foreseeable future. I'm sure out there it's not going to make much difference. lol. Till then I may have to come up with something to work out. Carl: Thanks buddy. So far it's looking like that's the ticket for worn tires for me. I spent a lot of the afternoon yesterday (while I was working around the house) daydreaming up ideas to get the wheels mounted up on the axles and finally got it. I have a piece of brass tubing that's going to fit perfect inside the front wheel center hole(after I cut the tubing to fit the width , they'll ride perfectly on the front axle spindles) and ended up JB welding some washers to the rear brake backing plates to space the rear tires out just enough to clear the springs (took too much off of the rear diff) and not be seen. Here's a mock up so far. ( So far I'm happy with it)

Hey Rich. You got any pics? I aint ever seen that either. I was at church today and one of the guys I look up to in the congregation asked me if I'd go out to his car as he had something for me. Lo and behold he gave me this: and this (and I didn't know that Gunze Sangyo made kits AND the lights work!! ):

Man you straight up knocked that one out of the park Mike!! Good grief!!!

Holee smokes Mike!! I apologize for not seeing this one!!! What a build!!!!! Man dang near anybody would be happy with that success on/ in their display shelf/ case.

Cool and different!!! Nice build so far William.

Now this.......... is just totally wild Tom! Great job on the idea, planning and building. Wow!

Hmmmm. I think you may have unlocked the mystery on how I'm going to do the exhaust on my F-100. The bends look so uniform between the two tailpipes. How did you go about shaping them?

That looks good Fred! What did you use for exhaust pipes?

That's funny you should ask because I was going to post something on that. I got tired of waiting on the weather to clear up so I broke a cardinal "in the house" rule and broke out the enamel paint this morning and shot a coat or two of gloss black on the rear wheels in preparation for an alclad coat later this week. I also painted the alclad in the house on my front wheels over the weekend and then put everything in a sealed case, opened a window and closed off the room. lol . Sometimes you just have to move forward you know.
