I may change my mind on this one. Lets of potential. I can't help but wonder how it would look with the engine, wide white tires and Caddy sombreros from the Revell '49 Merc kit, and maybe the Desoto grill.

I couldn't have said it better. I'll let whomever receives my models after I'm dust do the rebuilding.

Very unique. I like it. I'm with David though, she needs some graphics.

After seven years Welcome back.

I use a Dremel minimally for grinding or cutting, not for drilling a tiny hole.

Man, I just don't have the words. As usual, I'm blown away.

My thoughts exactly. When I saw the engine close up I was gonna throw the BS flag.

What are you doing that requires a power drill for styrene? I've never needed more than a pin vice.

No surprise. Big scale is always a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH shoot.

This isn't bad kit at all. It goes together quite nicely. All this kit needs to become very popular with builders again is a few simple additions. They are all very simple and wouldn't cost much in the grand scheme. Vintage finned valve covers. A tripower intake with three strombergs or a caddy style aircleaner. Stock hood sides. Trade out the ZZTop interior pieces with some of the unskinned door panels and seats like they put in the 30 Model A. Steel wheels and some wide white decals for the big and little tires that they have always used.

I had a friend in Florida I met at a show. He used fiber optics. He created a light box in the trunk area where the single LED was and used fiber optics out to the lights.

Okay this might seem somewhat critical, but I gotta ask. If you don't enjoy building enough to complete the whole model and you don't look at them once finished, why do you build at all?

I'm not really interested in this one, but someone please let me know when that air cleaner becomes available in the resin market.

Frankly I find factory stock anything to be really quite boring. I love cars, but I will walk right by a factory stock Model A, to go check out the hot rod next to it. As for models. It's just plastic. Get over it.

A terrific build. Good color,stance, and super clean. Well done.

I've owned this kit at least three times. It sits on my shelf and I stare at it, trying to come up with a cool idea, and ........................................................nothing. And then I trade it away.

I think you've accomplished it.

This is what I'll be doing from now on, thanks Dave.. It really is a crying shame. I've been downloading my photos directly from PB for so long, I never thought to keep them on my hard drive. I've basically lost every photo of every model unless I go and do a save image on every pic.

Wow. That is pretty impressive. I looks completely authentic. Well done sir.

Some work done. To make this pop without adding detail, I gotta rely on contrast and some detail painting. I'll get some pics up when I find a replacement for Photobucket.

Finally some progress.

I'm sorry to say it, but I think you replica stock builders will continue to be frustrated. The traditional hot rod guys have a better chance of seeing their wants addressed, I think, which might get you closer to your goal.

Agreed. I figure if they follow a similar pattern as the deuces, we're move likely to see a sedan.

These are straight out of the 80's styling fad. Small block Chevy, IFS and coil overs in the back. Billet style wheels and the interior was what you'd expect from an 80's hot rod. It's basically the same as the Monogram '37 Fords in a larger scale. I've no idea what it would cost to retool to make them more traditional, but I doubt it would be worth the expenditure.
