I think you have more wrenches and pliers than I have paint brushes(and I have 50 of those)!

I have a 12' x 20' model room added during a remodel in '93. To add more display space for my collection of Chevy promos going back to '47 we added 1 x 12 shelving around the entire room. 40' of it is 12" down from the ceiling and the other 20' is 24" from that ceiling. The footage that is at 12" easily hold those stackable clear cases in stacks of three and the other 20' of shelves at 24" has them stacked 6 deep. My point here is for you to consider attaching those shelves lower in the beginning and you'll have much more space as your collection grows.

Another righteous rod.Thanks for sharing.

Excellent build with all the right proportions and stance. Your color choice is very different and I like that,should stand out on any display table or show case.Thanks for sharing.

At 75 my eyesight Is not what it once was and I mentioned that to a fellow modeler who recommended the Ott lamp. I bought mine at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon and have been using it successfully for several years.

I opened the new style tubes yesterday and the screw-on tapered applicator tip makes it extra easy to apply just the needed amount of putty where needed,wet your finger with a little solvent(water)and smooth to nearly the finished contour. Overall IMOH highly recommended. Just a small update on cleaning up after using this product. We are on a short 3 day get away so I take along my portable work bench which amounts to a large aluminum briefcase filled with a current project and the necessary tools and supplies to work on it. This project is a scratch built 1/25 th scale twenty four foot 1936 Aerocar travel trailer. This has a lot of compound curves thus requiring Lots of filling and sanding. Perfect Putty fills in the gritty surfaces of the sanding sticks I use petty quickly so I need to clean out that sanding stick often.Guess what.......being water soluble it washes off under a faucet in seconds. Another positive thing.

Very nicely done. Your weathering is spot on looking very realistic and to scale. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding display of your skills. Replicas of real vehicles require a lot of original thinking and dedication. You certainly nailed this one ! Congratulations on completing it.

Very original project. Engine is looking great with realistic details. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely sterling work,professional level paint,spot on details and crisp and accurate details all expertly photographed. Really a group of models to be proud of. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely outstanding work. Building any base model in stock form is extremely difficult and you have it masterfully. Thanks for sharing.

Great build of a rare Chevy. If I remember correctly the real cars were built using left over hardtop sections from the '61 model year paired with '62 convertible bodies. These were low production cars. I have seen several at car shows but only ever saw two on the road when that were new.

Great build if a classic kit.Thanks for sharing.

We were stopped in interstate traffic behind a black Porsche Panamera (?) Coupe. This was south of Columbus,Ohio were I see a lot of high dollar rides.

I have seen a resin ('38 ?) coupe that is stock. I don't remember who made it but having two of those would allow to build another year representation in both styles. This was to year with the frog eye like headlights and very pointy style hood. Does anyone know made that one ??

This is overall a really great model T truck with an almost buggy like seat design and admirable wood construction. I spent almost a year building a 1925 TT wrecker with a scratch built wooden cab and a hand crank winch assembly so I understand the complexity of the process. I would like to see more like this one posted on the forums.

I am loving the exhaust headers you are using here what are they made from?

I'm assuming that the you did some research before starting this project and found that all model TT Ford trucks were based on a 120" wheelbase chassis rather than the AMT kit 100" standard wheelbase. They also were all equipped with a standard worm drive rear end instead of the kit unit. Nicely done truck model of a standard model T converted into a very serviceable farm truck. Thanks for sharing.

I am not familiar with whatever lithoplanes is but for $ 400.00 I will use the photocopy method and save the other $ 399.00 for something else. Just my opinion of course,I tend to be old school...cheap and easy.

Great stuff Bernard. I personally hope the popularity of these vintage beach racing events will help ignite some intrest among younger builders for this genre of models. They have endless building possibilities and there are a lot of parts readily available for kit bashing. Thanks for posting your parts sources for those not familiar with what is available.

Very cool piece. Thanks for posting the link for those interested in building one.

Thanks....that's a cool (and a little sneaky).

Please share with us what you used for the detail in the radiator core. It is very realistic. I use brass screen myself but like what you're using much better.

Looking at the WIP body in comparison with the side profile of the real car behind it there seems to a little arch to the top of the 1:1 car's roof rather than the nearly flat top of the Ford roof.Maybe it's just the angle that your photo was taken at. Just offering a suggestion,great work and a very ambitious project.I am enjoying following this build.
