Nicely done with great attention to correct details.

Thanks for sharing these with us.These were two of the few brass era T's with the octagonal top radiator shells that were worthy of rodding.Nice to see them built so cleanly.Love 'em!

Holy shiny styrene that's a sweet Gotham City ride!Thanks for sharing.

Very well done examples.Both are builds to be proud of.Thanks for sharing.

You can expect outstanding quality and detail from any of the products you buy from Norm.His castings are nearly flash free and the scale realism is very accurate.

Finally,someone has built something really cool from an (IMHO) otherwise useless kit.Very nicely done with a great stance,beautiful details and very well photographed.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Jeff.Whittled you say? You got one super sharp knife my friend.

Very creative solution for making unique wheels and tires.I'll be tuning in for your updated posts.

This is gonna be fun to watch!

Ice to see someone actually building this kit.I see very few of these finished on display anywhere.Also be sure to keep us in the loop when that six cyl powered hot rod makes it to your bench.

Your wood body is a real work of art on the Woodside. I would also like to know where you sourced that 12 cup flat head engine.

Thanks for sharing your great build with us.Great model.

It's hard to imagine these big hills ruling the race track scene where they were new.Nice build.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the information Peter.I never had idea of the chemistry behind the finish.Pretty cool actually.

I am glad to see you building a classic vendor's truck based on the '23 kit.In the'40' s there was one in my home town here I spent a lot of my weekly allowance money.Another classic model truck under way by one if my favorite builders.Bag me up some with extra butter and salt!Looking forward to watching this one develop under your masterful touch.

The first set of photos looks like they sectioned a '46 Chevy.Thanks for posting this.I have run across a number of those old tutorials that can be very helpful to today's modelers including chopping those swoopy 40's tops.

I am rounding third and headed for home on my scratch built 1/25 1940's era Airfloat travel trailer project.After a lot of research and careful measuring it's time to paint.I decided to go for a sort of polished bare metal finish so I am using the Spaz Stix ultimate chrome paint in rattle cans.I found this in a hobby shop that carrys a lot of RC stuff.The base Is their# 10209 ultimate black backer and the finish coat is # 10009 mirror chrome.Base dried quickly in today's 75 degree weather.Top coat went on without any disasters as well.Then being unsure as to wether the top color would finger print I unfortunately decided to clear coat it with Testors # 1261 gloss clear.After the first coat I wished I hadn't done that.The clear actually dulled the surface making it look like just any other silver paint job. I repainted it starting with the black backer then the mirror top and all looks like was intended to look.My paint is Not a mirror finish as there was no way to create a super smooth surface with ribbed side panels and 850 rivets showing but overall I am pleased. My whole point here is to caution other builders to think twice before clear coating this product.

It's great to see another classic model being saved.I remember friends building cars and plane models as quickly as possible only to rush outside to gleefully destroy them with "cherry bomb" fire crackers ! I could never watch when they did it!!

Looking good.Put 'em on the ground and call 'em "bread sleds".

All around sweetener looking ride.It all works perfectly togeather.

Very interesting project Mr.Kron,but then all your car's are!

If you are looking for similar bodies to your stretch google "'64 Chevrolet Airporter'.Some builders of stretched cars built these for airport transport services.I have seen them built on Chevy bodies from '57 on.they were mostly eight door cars so although not glamour queens the basic principle and proportions would be the same.I believe a slightly arched roof would have also been approrpriate looking.Thanks for sharing.

Of course I'm kidding but I would like to see someone take one of those '48 Ford woodies,cut the wood side panels out completely and fill them with some fine mesh metal screen for an open-air look where the wind and rain blow right on through.

Thanks for posting this project.This my absolute favorite era as there are nearly endless variations that can be replicated in scale.So many of the people who lived in that time in our automotive history were innovators literally using whatever was at hand to turn them into race cars,trucks or tractors.Thanks for sharing.

So much fun for so little money!
