Nice finished model!I have a real '48 Chevy parked in my garage so I really enjoy seeing a model executed this well.Thanks for sharing.

It looks like you are getting your coupe' s suspension worked out in that last photo.You might want to move your rear axle back so the wheels are centered in the center of the rear fender opening.Take a look at some of the rear coupes you saw on your vacation or in magazines and you'll see what I mean. Nice to see someone else with a traveling tool kit/workbench.I love having mine when we travel!

I agree 100 percent,great technique.I have been building models for almost 60 years and these forums continues to be my greatest and best source of inspiration.

I did mean to indicate that you were using excessive amounts of paint only that some of my own techniques involve more paint than needed thus requiring some wiping off in some areas untill the desired effect is achieved.I may try your wood graining tech on plastic but am somewhat concerned about the raised grain look I see.I am wondering if a little sanding prior to the application of paint might lessen that look. I regularly use the old exactly blade tech on hardwood and always sand then color stain and varnish on my projects.

Nice body panel splicing.Gonna be sweet!

Can we assume there will be some wiping way of excess paint soon?

Sweet ride!

Nice clean build.Thanks for sharing.

Great truck Blair.I like the addition of the assist steps on the front fenders to help the scale passengers enter an exit that tall cab.

The bus is even more impressive when I see the massive amount of body work you invested in this bus body! I have built similar things where I applied massive amounts of putty then sanding a car from that pile.There has to be a huge pile of sanding dust somewhere on your workbench.Thanks for posting the construction photos.

I honestly don't know when you find the time to work!You are turning out killer models at an incredible pace.Nice to see something shiny from you for a change as well.great addition to your collection for sure.

Nice to see a Chevy hauling in a Ford!Seriously nice model Mark.Very good photos making it appear so realistic.Thanks for sharing!

Neat and unique build Blair.I love it.Do you have any in process photos of how you constructed that huge roof section with it's multiple curved surfaces?

Great truck Blair!Please share with us where the bed and boom came from.

Nice hot rod Chris.Congrats for not giving up on this build.Thanks for posting your in process photos as well.

For those interested you can find exact diagrams with dimensions for slicing and diceing this '39/'40 Ford coupes by searching on line.

You are a model building machine man!Another dream car comes to life on your workbench in record time.Great custom shoebox.

I knew that roof looked familiar for some reason,then spotted the fins on the rear quarter panels and realized this started life as a '60 Ford.Wow!Great model.I am not into that type of racing at all but surely recognize a beautifully model when I see one.Thanks for sharing.

I love your custom shoebox!Thanks for saving the drip rail detail and for sharing your talent with us!!

Thanks for using your considerable talents to rescue this piece of modeling history.Masterfully done!

Slick!!

Congratulations on another really cool street rod model.Well engineered,painted,and photographed.Thanks also for continuing to share them us!

Very good styling.The AMT chopped coupe body has always been awkward looking at best.Your custom touches really make it work.The best I remember seeing anywhere ever.Stance is right on the money as well.Thanks for sharing.

Looking great.Keep at it and see it through.Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a very ambitious project.Good luck,hope to see it completed.
