Nicely done. steve

Very fine work. steve

I received this today - http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/107377-32-deuce-what-scale-is-this/#comment-1521854 The Monogram Drag Strip Hot Rod mentioned in the thread. Thanks Karl! steve

Thanks to Karl, I now own the kit in question. Many thanks to him for taking the effort to send it here to the UK. steve

I find these type of racers fascinating. There's really nothing like them in the UK. steve

An excellent rendition of one of my all-time favourite cars. steve

You really do have quite an imagination. Some of those might well work in 1:1 but others, well maybe not... Good work though. steve

And those things are actually legal?????? steve

Those cars were built a couple of miles from my old school. We used to ride our bikes out to look at them. steve

Well done on getting published. It ain't easy... steve

It's just another engine. Still goes suck, bang, blow. Just happens to be a different shape, that's all... steve

Man, that is impressive. Respect. If the van had been white, it would look just like my son's real one! steve

Copy that! UK too. steve

Pets are like shooting stars. Enjoy every minute you have with them. It is never long enough. Peace Captain steve

It looks a vehicle from the old Thunderbirds puppet series. Interesting piece. steve

Finding that the "Check Engine" warning light on my Saab Convertible was not a real fault and cured by being switched off by the diagnostic check made by professional mechanic son. steve

I love this kit and built about 3 back in the 1960s and early 1970s. I have one still to do now but would love another one or two. Anyone got one to spare? There's a great build of one here --> http://public.fotki.com/V866/model-cars--trucks/racer-types/quarter-milers/vintage-monogram-32/ steve

Like the weathering. steve

Here are the latest pics: It got to this stage: And is now like this: In the background are the exhaust pipes and axles being painted matt black. Next up will priming. The roof and tailgate are still going to be yellow but as the rest of the body will be red. I am going to assemble it as far as sensible and then prime it in one go before going to top coat. I will be using rattle cans for both. Considering a few decals again as I'm sort of assuming it's a shop truck, certainly not a show rod Thanks for looking! steve

I have decided to strip all the gloss paint and restart from scratch. I will be retaining the red & yellow scheme but with a satin black bonnet/hood. I'm really impressed with how well the gloss paint comes off using Precision Paints stripper. This is a UK product from a firm that deals in railway paints. Matt paint seems to take a lot more time and effort. Is this usual? Have taken pics as I have gone along and will add later, hopefully. steve

Irritating bunch of w*nk*rs. They cause the local residents a great deal of annoyance. steve

That is beautiful! steve

Nice work. Dig the colour. steve

All round neat. I like it. steve

Don't worry, I will! steve
