Very nice interpretation of the 1:1. If it weren't for your had it would be hard to tell from the real car.

Exciting progress David.

Impressive work. Looking forward to seeing more.

This was my first order from Auto World and I don't remember ever having problems with them.

Good looking survivors, thanks for posting.

Your grass is amazing. I had never heard of a static grass applicator before so thanks for the reference. Went on line and found out more about them, thanks.

The only transkit I am aware of is the full race kit from Scale Designs.

Wow Rex!! Thanks for sharing.

Randy, thanks for the link and no you have never ever led me wrong.

The wheels were by Herb Deeks. Last I knew he was still selling the PE spokes but not the rims anymore. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25-1-24-1-32-Borrani-Style-photo-etch-wire-wheel-kit-convert-4-plastic-wheels/163539862312?hash=item2613bc4328:g:ljMAAOSwaCVcYwGr:rk:1:pf:0

Oh yes, loving it. Please keep us posted as you go.

I am not finding anything on the bay that is affordable for the Hot Wheels. I may have settle for the Johnny Lighting. Randy and Snake say it is "fairly nice".

You nailed it Jason.

Excellent!!! It looks super good. So glad I could help.

Another unique feature of this car is there is an open space where the top meets the rear deck. Do you suppose this was to release air pressure inside the cabin as it did not run with side curtains?

Thanks Bob.

Thanks JC for the tip.

I am not aware of an English version of the web site but my experience has been that Akira is very quick to respond to questions in English.

Now we are talking. Sports cars of the 50's and 60's are my main interest. I can endorse and have used all of the venders above. A new one I have dealt with is from Japan and is very easy to deal with via email, English is not a problem. mizorogiscm.shop-pro.jp. Akira is quick to answer questions, take orders via email, and is a great artist of the things we love.

Terrific thread Dominick, Thank you for sharing the inside scoop.

OK, I am genuinely impressed now.

I only have a few photos of CSX3159 but thought these might be useful. Unusual roll bar. Love the moon eyes on the breather.

I am not familiar with the modern mods but I am impressed with what you are doing here.

Way to go. I think your idea of high windows is a good one. I am planning on doing that with my next garage scene.

I like it a lot.
