Great work. It looks very authentic.

Great paint work. I'd like to hear how you accomplished the pattern inside that stripe.

That is just fantastic. Awesome craftsmanship.

My father and his brother build as kids in the 50's. It was something they were both fond of as car guys and he started models for me at 8 or 9 years old to help fill those winter afternoons in LI, New York. We went to car shows and my fathers love of the American automobile was quickly passed on to me, as I idolized my dad. He was a big garage sale/flea market guy so I had new batches of old kits dropped on my table all the time. He kept me well occupied. As a borderline ADD kid, that was important. I built throughout my childhood and in my late teens I started wondering if this was just kid stuff, because mom still called them my "toy cars". Then I discovered SAE in the hobby shop and was enthralled by the work there. Here were grown men, doing what I loved and making them works of art. I was inspired and vindicated and my dad and I read every issue cover to cover. I built throughout my addulthood, but rarely as I didn't have a lot of time with the military/wife/kids/etc. About eight years ago, I got back into it. I build now for two reasons. First, I love cars. Period. Second, I have an artistic side that needs to be expressed. I'm not happy unless I'm creating something. Models, painting, poetry, short stories, table top role playing or whatever. While it isn't "solely" why I build, I'm very guilty of this. I do love to share my work, and I do enjoy the attention it gets on forums or at contests (two a year). I'm aware of this and consider it a character flaw, but an acceptable one. I share on multiple forums and am in two model car clubs. However, this is what I'm into. Models. I do it by myself at home. Not a real social hobby. Contests and forums add that social aspect to it and that is something I crave. I can't help it and don't wish to try. I'm sure it's been noticed by folks here and feel free to ignore my threads if it's something that bothers you. I won't be offended.

Nice work.

Wow. That was very cool. That's the kind of thing that gives those OSHA folks nightmares.

Cmon guys I wanna see more work here.

Yeah, the fans are the expensive part. As squirrel cage type blower motor just aren't widely used in any old appliances or anything so that they would be common. There was one guy that adapted his lawn/leaf vac/blower. He figured if he could suck wet leaves through it and not damage the motor, it had to be pretty well sealed. I haven't tried that yet.

I love doing left-over or junkyard builds. They are great low stress/time to experiment builds.

I think the plans you have sound excellent. I've never been a fan of the wood sides though. Keep us posted.

Go to the image in your Photobucket. And then just copy the line beneath it called Image Code. Then just paste it into the forum box when you reply. Easy. There ARE how-to's on this here on the forum, if you look around.

Nice work. You used solder I'm guessing.

Looking forward to seeing more.

First off - I think the work is fantastic. Great craftsmanship. Second - What is the purpose of the demon camber? Are you looking for less traction? I guess in a drifter you might be. I saw a 1:1 here in Tampa yesterday. I don't care for the look of it.

Can't wait to see more.

That looks awesome. Period perfect.

Wow. Fantastic paint work. I think it looks great.

Really good work. I like it a lot. Very authentic.

YES! I love this.

I'd love a copy of that JIm when you get around to sending those out. You got my addy.

Whoa. I love this. I wanna see more!

Well I can't wait to see .......................something.

This is realy quite impressive. I really dig this.

The local grocery store. He just spray painted a couple of olives. Great work, very ratty. Also this looks like the AMT/Lindberg kit which would make this a '34 not a '32.

Yep, I'm building one now. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=42805&st=0&p=449033&fromsearch=1&#entry449033
