Nice! A race truck is something you don't see very often and yours is very nicely done. Thanks,

Thanks Mark! I sent him an email asking for more details. Thanks,

Thanks for the kind words guys! Here is most likely the last update on this project, or at least one of the last ones.... Engine compartment is pretty much done. All the reference pictures I have show a plain generator without any sticker or decal. But mine can't be naked! So I added a decal that says "electrical generator output 6V DC permanent press do not bleach tumble dry" I also added the upper radiator hose with real copper clamps. Note the radiator support cross bars (firewall to radiator). One of them has a little hump curve to avoid interference with the other one. I noticed that on a reference pic of a restored car. There is no way I'm going to hide all that with a closed hood Still pending wheels/tires (including spares), door decals, installing the bumpers and if I still have time left before the show, the uptop. Thanks,

El maletero se dobla cuando no esta en uso. Para cargar literalmente un baúl, se extiende como una tablilla. El tapón de gasolina está incomodamente entre el maletero y la carroceria. La varillita vertical que sale de la luz izquierda es para la tablilla, que esta en proceso. El asiento de atras no esta fijado todavia. Por eso se ve mal puesto. Gracias, Translation: The trunk carrier folds when not in use. To carry a trunk (literally), it's extended like a shelf. The gas tank cap is between that and the body. The vertical rod on the left tail light is for the license plate. The rumble seat is not yet in place, that's why it looks a bit crooked. Thanks,

Great execution overall! Those headlights look absolutely convincing. Thanks,

Nice conversion! Good job.

Thanks John, but YOU are da man when it comes to classics! And Bill is so far ahead I can't see him But thanks for the compliments. Regards,

Drooooooooooool!!!! Wow! I'm loving it! Keep going, keep going! Love it!! Thanks,

Interior and convertible boot done! Acetate glass (2 pieces). I may need to scratch them to see them True story: they are so clear at one point I thought it fell off Luxurious and cozy, isn't it? Thanks,

Looking good! Nice color. Love the wheels. Thanks,

OK, here's the deal: I've searched high and low, east and west and no luck with the wheels. Add to that the PRESSURE that this car must be finished for the upcoming Caribbean Scale Auto Expo show Oct. 5 (the local gang will kill me if I don't) so I need to move. I have 3 choices: - Use the incorrect wire wheels in the kit, then whine and complaint the rest of my life. - Not finish the model until the wheels magically appear in the future, then whine and complaint about never finishing it, not to mention that Luis Ayala, Marcos Cruz, Danny and the rest of the gang will chase me down and kill me... - Make my own DISCLAIMER: These are NOT exact reproductions of the artillery wheels. The artillery wheels have 15 spokes, I'm doing 20 because it was faster. Rim detail is slightly different etc. etc. But I had to move fast and this will do for now until I can do a correct one and send to cast. Yes, I'm a rivet counter I will use the kit's center caps. Thanks,

Thanks Zeb, I'll check on them. Thanks,

Thumbs up on the headers.... Thanks,

My research indicate this car had body color headlight buckets with chrome bezels instead of the otherwise common all chrome setup. Thanks,

Wow Bill! That looks great and has held up all these years. Don't touch her! That's history right in front of you in 3D. Thanks,

Nice color scheme. Any problems with the build? That looks like a nice fitting kit. Thanks,

Welcome to the forum!

Hello, Just curious: Has there ever been a model of the 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster six-series? Yes, that was the Indy Pace car for 1948. Galaxie made the Aerosedan if I'm not mistaken. I have no idea if that could be used as a starting point. Thanks,

Thanks Mike, For the wiring I used 2 different gauges of craft wire and the smallest are from discarded electronics equipment. That is my favorite part of this build so far. Thanks,

To me the strong reflection on the metallic red paint gave it away. Having it been a model, the reflection would have been different. Thanks,

Time well spent bonding my friend! time well spent! Congratulations!

Great job Brendan! I also started when I was 8. My son will be 8 soon and he has done a few snappers as well. Keep them in a safe place. As you get older and hopefully build many more, they will always bring back a smile. Thanks,

Cool! Very interesting! I used Oro Chiaro in this custom 612ig. I agree, a very nice color! Thanks,

Begining to look like something we recognize. Well, it looks like a dismantled stolen car Thanks,

estoy barriendo! estoy barriendo!!!!!!!!! Ya!
