Definitely have my attention. Love watching full customs take shape. I like the stock shape of the early 'Bird, but your changes use that shape and take it to a whole different level. I have a couple customs in work that I really need to get back to.

I will admit the Deuce is very well represented in the hot rod world, but IMHO the Model A makes a much better looking rod, especially with it straighter vertical lines. And the '27 Roadster has far more pleasing lines than the "corn picker/combine" rump of the 32.

That is definitely one rough casting. Looking forward to what you do with it. A couple pieces of styrene sheet would make that into one wicked looking panel truck - just thinking out loud.

Outstanding rendition of a beautiful car; the only prettier GM is a '65 SS Chevelle. Which kit did you build this from? The first kit I bought when I returned to building models back in '98 was the Lindberg version of this kit. It is still on my shelf waiting to be built, along with 200 more.

Got #207 in today's mail. Very nicely done, glad to see it back in production. Couple of minor issues, seems to have a whole lot of full page advertisements for different aftermarket suppliers. I realize this is the first issue back, so some adjustments will need to be made. Yes the NNL was a big deal and I am glad to see the coverage, yet IMHO there again were quite a few more pages of coverage than necessary and of some mediocre models. Still all in all I am very pleased and looking forward to #208.

Very nice build, excellent attention to detail. Really like those FED's.

Excellent build. Really like the cleanliness of your roll cage, very nicely done.

For dinner last evening I had way too much and enjoyed every gluttonous bite of it. Now I have to figure how to disguise the leftovers. I have spent a bit of time this morning searching recipes on the "net".

Was sitting behind one of these "yahooes" at a light in town. Light turned green and they just sat there, I gave a light toot on the horn, they didn't move. Gave a louder blast and still no movement. Light turned yellow, they crawled a bit forward, when it turned red they finally made their left turn and gave me a "thank you one finger wave". If I could have got to them I don't believe it would have been classified road rage, but justifiable battery.

Umm, a bit farther right than that. You have to cross a mountain range to get to my coast. ?

I have been a NASCAR fan since I sat in the back seat of my uncle's new '58 Oldsmobile and listened to the '58 Southern 500 on the AM radio. I also held a Grand National (remember them?) Mechanics license for two years, then the military got in the way. Since "Big Bill" passed I have watched the series go downhill. I had a friend who went to a salvage yard bought body parts to put together a car, built an engine in his basement and went racing; he was not a front runner, but he had fun. When the stock appearing bodies went away, the sport itself went away. If I want to watch IMSA, F1 or any other form of 'exotic' racing I will watch it, but I do not expect that from an organization that has "Stock Car" in their moniker. In the late 90's I heard the late Dale Earnhardt on a local radio station prior to the October Charlotte race say what NASCAR needed was "one body style, and let the teams build the engines and chassis to suit the driver". He has got part of his wish, the one body has been here for too many years. R.I.P. NASCAR.

Really looking forward to getting my issue. But then I am on the right coast so I can expect the USPS to take their time getting it here. It has been a long time coming, now it is time to savor some styrene news.

Must agree with the other comments. That is one good looking rig, nice attention to detail. Also sorry to hear about your friend passing.

Still waiting on mine, then of course I am on the right coast

Oh what a tease. Show us more of your amazing artistry on this build. Really enjoy watching this rig come together.

Some really nice modeling. Really enjoy the ingenuity of those early racers to find ways to lose weight.

Other than being a MOPAR this is a beautiful build. Looks like it just rolled out of SS&DI magazine. Maybe it is just the perspective of the photos, but that front fender looks awfully long in front of the tire. I know many of these cars had their front and rear ends slid forward, but there is just something about this front fender that gets my attention. Nothing against the build because I really like it - SS, MP, and GS were my all time favorite classes in the 60's.

Excellent body damage. These machines did not stay pristine very long. Looking forward to more updates.

Could you show us a picture of the problem you are having?

I received a 1/32 Ford engine in a trade, unfortunately I do not know which kit it came from. But for such a small scale it is fairly detailed.

Love those big luxury T-Birds and this one really looks the part. Very nice and clean execution.

Looking forward to this build. One word of advice these truck are not built on the F-150 chassis. A few are F-350 but most are on the F-450 1 1/2 ton chassis or even heavier. I have a similar idea using an older Dodge van as a basis.

My only suggestion would be to contact Shapeways or a similar company to see if they could print you one. Be ready to take out a second mortgage on the house.

I really like the warning label on the front of the box. Not one of my favorite forms of Ramen, prefer the real stuff from my "not so local" international market.

Mighty fine looking Mustang. Very clean impressive build.
