I'm a fan of your solution for that too-thin C-pillar. It looks fantastic now! The proportions remind me of the work done by Valley Custom. Looking very good indeed...and with that in mind, I keep picturing it in a candy brandywine red with whitewalls and chrome-reverse wheels. *shrug* That combo doesn't really go with the modern engine though, so what about a Pro-touring look with deep-offset wheels with satin-finish centers of some sort?

Haha what!! Are these previous builds or did you really just spend 8 days building new models?? Well either way I think they're great. Always a lot of thought put into the engineering and accessories on your builds. I'm diggin' the removable hardtop on the van, the cooler and gear bag and cartoony look of the oversized wheel/tire package...and are those flowers on the package tray of the Chrysler? Whatever they are, that little hit of color is a nice detail. I am satisfied! 😄

Looking good!! The decisions to lean the A pillars, lengthen the trunk, and mold the headlight bezels into the fenders are adding up into a very tasty custom! My only attempt at both chopping a '40 and opening the doors resulted in a pile of scrap parts, haha.It's tricky business for sure. I think I pinned the A pillars four or five times after accidentally breaking them repeatedly.I'd love to take another stab at it, but I think any custom '40 I attempt will have the doors molded shut!

Fun execution of a very cool concept! Everything fits together so nicely... Do you ever build cars that haven't been stretched? Build a shorty, I dare ya!!

Epic build! I've really been enjoying watching this project come together. Rad cap looks amazing, I'm not sure I've ever seen someone detail one out like that before

That's a gorgeous color! I like the 3D printed parts too. I'm still waiting for mine to show up (stock seems limited here in Canada) so I'll enjoy your build thread in the meantime.

Totally awesome scratchbuilding efforts. I'm loving those little stacks of cups!

I love this thing and I think it's worth saving as-is. If you were to rebuild it from scratch, I agree that a slight top-chop would help it flow a little better. I keep imagining it with a normal ride height up front, and slammed in the back, like a lowrider. That probably wasn't the stance the original builder was going for, though!

This lambo is looking totally insane! I love the 3D printed parts, they go such a long way to completely changing the look. I do have one reservation: how confident are you in the resilience and strength of those (very cool) door hinges, and do you have a plan B if they snap during painting/assembly? Could you prototype them in resin and build them in aluminum or brass based on the 3D printed example?

Looking good! I love that interior fabric pattern. It's very cool to see these 3D printed conversion parts being integrated into new builds.

Awesome work, Ken! I'm not familiar with the original car, but looks like you're doing it justice. For your first-ever Fusion360 project I'd say it's looking fantastic!

Here you go! Uuugh, I can't believe more than 7 years have passed since I drew that sketch.

Loving this so far! Those vents from the Audi are a fantastic detail, I like them a lot.

So cool. It's been really fun watching the WIP thread. I love seeing such an out-there idea become such a well-realized build. Tons of interesting details on this one!! Definitely saving these photos to my inspiration folder 😁

Neat concept! On paper, I wouldn't be entirely convinced that the window treatment would work, but there it is...looks fantastic! I'm enjoying the stance on this one too.

I love this! Cool detailing, and the effect created by all that careful decal work is extremely striking. The car looks intimidating...but also just plain fun!

Nice execution and detailing! Great chop and stance, those resin '32s from Ed are pretty darn nice. The Thrush mufflers are a cool addition that I don't think I've seen before, and those headers look super useful for shoehorning that mill in there.

I love the concept and the weathering/decal work you did on this one!

Nice save! I really dig the paintjob and color combo with those wheels. I agree that the bumpers are a little bulky.

Spectacular! I love the crazy gullwing doors and swivel seat mechanism, and the fade paint job. I can't wait to see the rest of this one come together!

This super ambitious, and I'm enjoying seeing the progress you're making!

So cool to see it all one color after all that surgery!

Loving that fade job! And hey, nice valve covers and injectors

Interesting question! I like to think it would all be packed in the box, but I do wonder if some content might have been removed to fit the chopper. I don't see any "2 in 1" graphics and the box art seems to indicate only the mags, as far as I can see.

Excellent work. I love the stance and proportions, wheel/tire package, and of course that mean-looking chop. I have one of these fantastic resin bodies from Drag City Casting set aside to build someday, so it's nice to have some inspiration!
