Always glad to see a new name added to those on the forums .Welcome,and what I see here indicates excellent work and attention to detail .Always build what You like,not what others consider trendy or the latest popular thing.Thanks for sharing your background story with us.

I personally would weather the heck out of it to tone down all that John Deere green and yellow going on with the color scheme,but that's just me.I believe the removable top was an inspired move and very well done.In 1:1 scale that would give the owner a little something unusual to leave in his parking spot at the next Goodguys event he attends other his cooler and lawn chairs.Dare to be different.Thanks for sharing.

Nice change of pace build in several ways including type of vehicle and the scale.I love JF's wild stuff like this .I've known him for a long time and this type of stuff is really a reflection of his personality.I'l be watching this build with great interest.Thanks for sharing.

Truly a build to be proud of. Outstanding paint work as well.Thanks for sharing.

Wow you certainly delivering a highly detailed tutorial. Thanks for investing the time and effort necessary to do this.

Nicely done period perfect hot rod. Good attention to details and quality of paint finish.

Great TROG replica.I love it.Also very creative photography with the ghost images.Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see someone willing to invest the time and effort to replicate a period custom like this one. Thanks for sharing.

This is indeed a beautiful model. Where did you find the necessary research material to make it so accurate?

Have you tried giving yourself a stern talking to?

Very ambitious project of a beautiful vehicle.You have obviously planned your work very carefully as the work done looks right on target. You are you brave soul too carve the bumpers from scratch but they appear very accurate. I look forward to seeing it develop. Thanks for sharing your project with us.

Amazing work! Your models are sure to be an inspiration to many people.Be sure post some of your work in progress projects so we can all see and appreciate the process you have for creating these works of art. Welcome to be the forums.Ciao!!

Great photos Howard. Excellent clarity. What is the convertible with the 12 potholes in the front quarter panels? It is in your photos # 902 and # 903.

Again Warren.Simply PM me our mailing address and I'll mail you a photocopy of my 1/25th scale ruler.No math involved at all my friend. Couldn't be any easier.

I would suggest starting the same way I always do,with photos.I take photos of the real vehicle from each side plus front and rear.Measure the wheelbase then have the photos you took enlarged to match that size in 1/25th scale.If you don't have a 1/25th scale ruler,send me a PM and I'll mail you a copy of my Murphy's Rule ll.Once you have a 1/25th scale photo copy of the body sides you can simply scale everything from there.The curved section above the side windows can be made from thin wall evergreen tube stock.Any UPS store can do the copy enlargements for you or even your local post office may have a copier available with enlargement options on it.Out P.O.does for only 15 cents each which is a lot cheaper than driving 20 miles to the nearest UPS store.Good luck with your project and be sure to post your progress here on the forums.

Excellent work on an unusual subject.

You nailed it by doubleing up on he corner laceings .Looks much more balanced this way.I'm looking forward to seeing this at he NNL Naionals in October!

Absolutely outstanding work here.

Absolutely done in the best spirit of all things NNL .We never want to take ourselves too seriousll! Well done

Outstanding!!

Thanks,I love that unique,one of a kind stuff that pops up very so often.

Do you remember what the Marshall Field and Co.vehicle was? It looks like a panel delivery and obviously a high dollar restoration.

Welcome to best forums you'll find anywhere. You'll find inspiration,great tutorials and just about everything else right here. Enjoy!

I think it would be a great service to a lot of us if you would consider posting a tutorial on the forums sharing your method of creating that tire tread.

I built a vintage dumper almost 50 years ago and scratch built a bed with opening tailgate at that time. If you PM me your email address I will send some pix of it to you.I based mine on the cab and fenders from a Revell '29 Ford model A pick up truck kit.
