Nicely done

Looks very nice. Do I see some Big Donkey or perhaps FRW pieces there?

If you take the time and work slowly Novus polish does work pretty well. I have used it with success and have friends that have actually used very fine sandpaper then Novus and polished out some very bad scratches. If this doesn't work, can you tint it?

Get a new windshield!

It's still tough for many and happens to often. My journey through this tragedy in print is intended to help others. Thanks for sharing Sorry for your loss Carl, the whole girls reason happens a lot more than people can imagine.

My best pal and son Cody called his Harley Dynagluide “Dirty Girl” the only thing he loved more than riding his motorcycle was riding my Shovelhead. Though it is stripped down like a bobber now I think he’d like it just fine. He passed by suicide two year ago and from now on this bike will be called Dirty Girl in his honor…

Some of you guys may remember me sharing about the suicidal loss of my son Cody James. I hope you don't mind the selfish plug but I have put pen to paper and published our story of love, loss and recovery. The book speaks for itself and my hope is to help other in a time of crisis when it seems no one else could possibly understand.

See I told you Your overreacting!

Absolutely enjoying this build, your is coming along nicely. I had a great time building two of these. Here's a link if you'd like to see it. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/132727-gs-corvette-003/

Your being unreasonable!

World class build, very nice job sticking with it for so long. One question. Now that it's complete, what would you have done differently?

Amazingly recreated and imagineered. I like everything about it, except the hair hanging off the bumper!

Inspiring as always Tim, thanks for sharing. The link is the build I did after reading the original story you posted.

Nice, clean building and my favorite color too!

So I have inquired and the response is favorable! My buddy is now searching the archives for the Vic and when he finds I will be in business. This should be interesting because i have never gotten back a model that I let go before. If you have let me know what happen?

Pieces/Parts looking good...

I should check on it shouldn't I?

"Unsafe at any speed" Exactly right and no airbags either, we die like men! Great subject matter and imagineering on this one especially the V-drive.

Great subject for a project, you have my attention...

Custom fabrication at it's finest!

Brings back a lot of memories...

I did and posted the finished bote somewhere!

Tim, thanks for sharing these models. I remember the article you wrote up about them and your spray can paint technique which I have occasionally used over the years. Your building style and subject matter has inspired so many and right now I need to go find a Funny Car kit!
