Chris Smith

Thanks Bruce!! As of this moment I have enough paint. Just trying to find enough patience. Replacement decals can’t get here quick enough. by the way: where is the show being held at? I have never been to one

Thanks for the kind words. I was able to find another set of decals on e bay.? hopefully I will get back at in a couple weeks, in the meantime I will prep it again.

Beautiful build Bruce!! I just seem not to be able to get enough of this eye candy. I am sure it looks better in person, hope it shows well for you!

I can’t believe how frustrating a hobby can be. I had the large gum ball decal wrinkle up and after numerous times of trying to get it to lay flat, I have no luck whatsoever ??? so now I will have to try to start over again. I am super frustrated. After I calm down and realize that this is a learning experience all will be good again. For those few who are keeping an eye on this build I do thank you. Your kind words and encouragement do make this process fun and enjoyable. Chris

Thanks for the kind words! I was going to try the regular rivets, but I found the archer ones and gave this a shot. They do have there plus’s quick and easy, there minuses is that they can fold onto itself which is a pain. It did take me a wile to lay them out. I think next time I will be doing the old fashion way. chris

Look what I found today ? After getting some chores done. I decided to bring this out and give it a couple of coats of paint. Hopefully in a few days I will get the decals on this and clear coated ?

Such an awesome build! Yes I do like the detail. The headlights are trick. Congratulations on completion of this fine automobile So what’s next?

Oh I like!

Those are some cool cars!! I need a friend like yours, saving money no mater how much is a good thing ?

Thanks for the offer on the paint... I will let you know

Your build is coming together so nicely! I am a little jealous, keep it up your almost there. Thanks again for the information, it gives me something to consider when I decide to get one of these kits( just don’t tell the wife the cost)??

Looks great ? I need to back at my build keep up the great work

From your pictures I can’t see anything wrong. You do know we are our own worst critic. Keep plugging away. Looks great!

I am memorized on how this build is coming together. I am in awe of the detail. i will agree that taking your time is the best way to build a model,if you want it to look as if it was the original car. Keep up the awesome work. When you complete it you will be super happy and proud.

Looks great. Are all the windows made of lexan?

Thank you very much Tim! nothing like a flat 12 at high rpm ?

Still amazed at how well this build is coming together... you should be proud. cant wait for your next post

Just a little update... sorry to say there has not been any progress on this build. I have had to focus on a major renovation project on my back yard. Happy wife = happy life I hope to get back at this sometime soon. for those of you that have chimed in “Thank you “ it means a lot to me Chris.

Gets better and better keep it up, looks great

Looking great ? love this build

Chris, when you have the time to try out your Iwata eclipse, you may never go back to any other air brush. I have been using mine for ten years or more. I got mine for doing RC car bodies. It works great with all kinds of paints and once you get the hang of the duel action,you do some amazing stuff with it. Oh by the way all of your guys builds look amazing ? look forward on the next set of updates

Great pictures

The oil cooler looks sick? I can see why it took you a few days to assemble. Keep it coming love this car your building

I totally agree... I may need a psychiatrist? Thank you very much

Looks awesome ?
