This was a good decision. Gonna strip it and see about painting body color. I’ll get the hood fit tightened up and keep on the body work.

Very nicely done...

So far I did get the hood lined up better by lowering the grill. It’s just taped on for now. The challenge is going to mate the hood and grill. Here’s the chassis with 40 Ford bracing, the two speed axle and assorted window frames to make one that fits. I’m not sold on the tri carbs just yet. Yes to the tires. Thx

Another unfinished model. This one truly is made up of pieces and parts from various sources. Mostly left overs. I’ll post some close ups of the chassis and engine later.

Mostly the Aurora kit with a few pieces from Revell. Not perfect by any means and definitely out of my wheel house. Full of new challenges and frustration but satisfying to finish. Perfect Match Classic Green Pearl exterior and a custom mix enamel brown leather interior. BMF, Alclad and acrylic for detail.

All three are well done, but the Dodge has me...

Classic Green Pearl sprayed yesterday.

Thanks for the bump and the comments. Here it sits with a Drag City up top!

Another beauty!

Couple of quick interior pix. Here to hoping it all lines up for assembly.

PURDY

While I wait for the tail lights on the Show Rod I figured this was next in line on “The Finish them all tour.” I finally settled on a suitable color for the interior which I hope represents a nice coco leather as it dries a flat finish. I finished priming the body and am ready to sand and paint it. Almost everything else is ready to assemble.

Except for adding some taillights and lens and maybe some touch up I think it is almost done. I hope to use the custom lights from the 58 kit.

Looking very nice

Window is going to be a short contoured piece not to much to take away from the open air look. Head lights are the small buckets from one of the 32 ford kits. And the paint isn't to bad just had some dust and thick clear spots to clean up. It hard to see but it actually is darker on the bottom and fades to light at the center of the roof. Thanks...

Not my best finish, had some dust issues but it will do. I’m excited to do the interior and finish this one up.

Glad you found your way here. And life in general is way to maddening to let a hobby get the best of you. So take a deep breath, relax sit back and just build what makes you happy...

After some suggestions and thought this is how I’ll leave it. Except for headlight lenses she’s under glass.

Thank you everyone, as soon as I find the nerve I’ll do the BMF…

The body sides were one of the hang ups for me but I have an idea. Yeah that's a feature i couldn't resist...

Another must finish rod! I started this with a Drag City body and an idea. Don’t ask when! But I’m gonna paint and finish it next. 58 Chevy styling and a bunch of chassis mods from the parts box.

Looks I bit nicer than I remember, this was as I cleaned it up before disassembly. I do remember it was brush painted!

I have the same thought and since I need to use gloss black for the alclad, well…

Here's a little something I picked up a while ago on feebay. It was butterscotch yellow and had a lot of excess glue on it. The chrome was not very nice either so I stripped the whole thing, cleaned it up and covered it in Matt Black. Yesterday I added the BMF and touched it up by brush and a Molotow chrome pen. I'll have to do the Alclad bumpers this spring when I can spray out in the shop again. NE Ohio winters or not favorable to such activity. I have the tail lights and will finish up the chassis later also. Just another one of the unfinished kits I'd like to wrap up soon....

All finished up and posted in Under Glass, thanks.
