  1. Thanks Bob! Thank You Craig, Appreciate you checking out the build.
  2. Thanks Brother! Without some of the very in depth conversations we have had, it would have never made it to this point. Thanks for the inspiration.
  3. Bill, you said a word I never thought I would hear in a comment about the mods that I am putting this '30 through. If you look up the word "Radical" one of the definitions say "Very different from the usual". And different is what I'm aiming for. At times I have to let things grow on me also. Thanks for the ideas! You just had to throw in the Suicide door thing didn't ya! It was never in the plans but plans change. I am getting closer to choosing colors though. Thanks for following along
  4. Outstanding Build! I also like that you filled and smooth the front end. Perfect paint and alclad application. That alclad can be tricky. Great pics too!
  5. I like this. Something you don't see everyday! Can't beat 3D printing. I myself have not tried any of this printed parts stuff. If I was younger, I might take some interest in it. For now, there is enough builders using it that I just look at the work they do. Like you!
  6. Alway's fun to see a Monkeemobile! Well done.
  7. Stock is cool. Nice work!
  8. Great weathering. I think its so well done, I would be afraid to ride in it if it was 1:1.
  9. Very nice. Really clean work and I like the color.
  10. The '30 is back with another mod to share. I'v done quit a bit to the body at this point. Things like chopping the top, wedging the body, and filling in the top, you would think would be enough. But there is still one more change or mod I'd like to do. This mod has to do with lengthening the doors a couple inches. And while doing this, the Quarter window will get shorter. I'v always felt the doors on the roadster and coupe kits were too short. I feel that adding 2-3 inches will tend to give the car a longer look....maybe! Started by making the new door line .090 is 2.25 inches in scale. The old lines were filled in will evergreen stripes. the door handle hole was also filled. The added material was sanded down and covered in super glue. It was then sanded smooth. The tops are set side by side so one can see the difference after the chop. A donor top was cut apart. All I needed was the window frames. The top and new window frames were marked. With my exacto knife, the marked area was cut out. Then the new window frame was cut to fit the new opening. The whole time I was worried I would ruin the top and have to start all over. This actually all worked very well. And I would do it again on other builds. I need to start thinking about an engine for this thing. It will take some work to get one in there. That's it for now, I appreciate the comments.
  11. Very nice!
  12. Very nice build!
  13. Really like your approach to the weathering and adding nice new performance parts concept. Engine is looking great with the details you've added. Nice build.
