Here are some pics of the hubcaps I'm using. You may be right about the Chevy but I think a decal may have gone in the center. I might check when I get home this weekend.

Making things low an't easy sometimes... I have no idea, they are from my parts box, they do have metal axle mounts.

Pancake anyone? Last time I really got the hood out of shape. But I'm happy with this one. I also used the chrome trim to fill the fenders and door area. I glued them in place and then sanded smooth. I'm reshaping the roof some too, making it less bulky. Gonna keep shaping before applying filler, then sand, sand, sand.

Fitting, fastening and shaping back on an away game. Slowly getting back to where it was but with a few changes. For the better I think!

Coming along nicely Eric. Will you extend the trunk area also or leave it?

My Home Game, working on the stance and cleaning up some parts. Keeping it Box Stock!

Impressive undertaking I'm liking the shape and style. I would like a little more slope in the roof if it were mine though. I'll be following your progress as I have this kit on my short list...

Looking very nice.

Well that part went easy enough! Measure twice cut once, and glue. Reinforced with spur on the inside and the interior tub will help hold it too!

I used the door line as a guide and the first roof as a guide for that attachment.

Now that I'm working out of town this 53 has become my away game. I started at the grill and then the hood. But while I've been comparing bodies I believe I discovered a way to save some time and aggravation. Since I need to chop the top again I figure I could use the first tail section. What'a think?

Impressive Wagon.

Its ok Dennis, these are Yokohama tires.

Here is I shot right before I applied the flat clear. After the decals and the black wash were dry, I removed the HC and covered the wheels with dimes, tapped the combo to a piece of cardboard and then spayed them with Testors Flat Clear. After they dried I used floor polish to keep the HC and rings in place.

A little Sunset from the backyard, never gets old.

Because of the amount of kits I have in progress and the fact I'll be working out of town for awhile, I have been resisting the start of one of two 29's I have in my head. But with the amount of talented builders working on this great kit and the knowledge being shared. I believe it's important to strike while the iron is hot. This being the first build will be box stock, adding nothing but the allowable paint. It will be a "Highboy" and should be a good way to gain insight for the next 29, which won't be a Highboy! I decided to do the wheels and tires first. Model Master Sublime Green for accent, Tamiya Cockpit Green is the main color. I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who is building this kit right now. Your knowledge and skills are the best in the hobby. Thanks...

I always enjoy your snip and tuck technics.

Gonna go about this a little different this time...

I was given a donor body by a good friend and will be posting new pix soon, woohooo!

Stunning build Eric, the fit and finish is only out done by the detail. Nicely done...

Chassis almost finished...

Bump, please continue this thread...

Very nice Tim, any pix of the chassis?

Great looking BM maro.

That's a clean looking stock car right there.
