Cool! Not big into NASCAR, but this one I like. Petty is still the King!

You might want to shim it on the outside of each scoop, that'll put the headlight dips in the proper alignment with the nose. Then trim the rest.

Way interested!!!

Not bashing your build Tim, just the kit. Problem with this design, as I see it, is the top is all wrong for this car. A Miata yes. But for a 32 Ford ?. Besides, it looks like this: When an original phaeton top looks like this: Which is cooler!

Paul, you're killing it with all of these customs, good eye!

Looks good, but that section behind that door looks a bit long. Gives it too much of a cab forward appearance. Maybe a little section taken from that area would add balance to the length of the car.

A beauty! I had no idea that this kit had so much detail, and I like the car. I'll have to find one. Wonder why R2 hasn't reissued this gem?

With a current world crisis looming, the US could be a world leader and supply all the free world's needs for much needed energy while simultaneously crushing the regimes that are engaging in the destruction of world peace and security. We could be a wealthy and prosperous nation and have all the finances we could ever need to invest in truly cleaner burning energy solutions, if only we would allow the production of the various forms of fuel that the world depends on NOW! We have more than enough natural resources to supply the world for hundreds of years. Add to that the power to control the destructive tendencies of other threatening countries who are set out to destroy us in our weakness. THAT is the global crisis that nobody is talking about!

Boy, could I debate you on passing problems onto our children and grandchildren, when the national debt grows exponentially by the week and we aren't even spending it on anything remotely beneficial for the common good - either now or the future! Who's gonna have to deal with that financial burden? The same children people claim to care about. As far as alternatives, which I already posted back on the first page here. Up until just a few years ago, there was development going on in various forms of cleaner burning vehicles, not just this one "take it and deal with it" solution. Now were being force fed this tripe, meanwhile nothing more is said of the other valid alternative alternatives. There are people reaping giant wealth from the kickbacks involved with EV technology - and I don't mean Elon Musk. I'm talking about elites who know nothing about the technology or the industry, but are turning the screws in a way that benefits their own wallets! I think what's getting the ire of most of the more "experienced" folks here is that just because you're driving your zero emmisions vehicle and snubbing the peasants who don't move with the latest trend, that vehicle is still creating a "carbon footprint" from the coal or fuel burning power plant it's drawing it's "clean energy" from. All you're doing is transferring your ecological guilt from your driveway to another town or country that produces the same pollution. So you are not making smog, the entity that's providing your electricity is. But I guess if you don't see it, it's not your problem and it doesn't exist. Even if everybody drives electric cars and there isn't any change in REAL sustainable energy, IE: nuclear or massive hydro-electric power plants, there will still be greenhouse gases along with incomprehensible, nationwide power blackouts. How is that progress? You want to eliminate methane gas? Permanently eliminate cattle and flatulating animals from the planet. Is that the next step? Want to lower CO2 - STOP BREATHING! Speaking of CO2 emmisions, explain to me why we have to destroy all the trees in parking lots to put up those ugly solar panel stations? Are they replanting 5 trees for every 1 they rip down? Not in my state they're not! We can't have trees blocking that sunlight or slowing down the wind blowing toward those windmill generators. When is the last time any dams or reservoirs have been built to store water runoff from storms and snowmelt? In my state - none. People complain about drought conditions, but have done nothing to prepare ahead of time for it. Hydroelectric power generators run off of the water going through the dams release. Building water control channels takes care of two problems, water reserves and electric production. Also, hydrogen could be produced at the same facilities, adding more clean energy production. How come a Schlub like me can come up with common sense solutions that benefit all people? They talk about doom and gloom, but do nothing to realistically fix it. The evidence for steam, propane, natural gas, hydrogen, hybrid technology already exist. However, being force fed electric cars powered by solar panels and wind turbines is having an effect on some who only tune in to mainstream media. No matter how many facts are produced or how history has explained the obvious, those "enlightened" individuals will never be convinced of anything more than what they have already been fed. No, but if the powers-that-be have their way, they'll just regulate them out of existence and leave us all in the dark, and hungry. Expensive tech cars or expensive fuel to power them. Financial debt just to remain mobile. A far cry from the industrial revolution of a hundred years ago that gave people hope for prosperity and affordable modern living.

Looks OK to me. Nothing a little brush with a sanding stick can't fix. I compare it with fixing parting lines. Every kit has them, so do you correct them or do you just expect all kits to be paint ready right out of the box?

Is that a diecast? What company made it?

Does the box still have Wolverine on it?

That's just a motorcycle with built in training wheels!

I was going to add another place they can be found, but I'd be reprimanded for breaking the rules! ?

Coming along well. I think the sand dollar wheels from the MPC 71-73 would look perfect on that model!

Looks like 1/24 is for the Euro market, 1/25 is for the USA. "Hey Klaus, put whatever scale on it that takes to get it to sell, they'll never know the difference."

Those all came out great. I've got a few junkers of that kit and was undecided what to do with them - until now! You're three variations gave me the inspiration to try something different with mine. Maybe a pickup, a Suburban, circus wagon or a hearse? With your lettering saying "this tank" and "that tank", maybe the name of the company should be "Tanks-a-Lot" fuel delivery. Just a thought.

Good recovery, I can't see the damage. Did the insurance total it?

Car came out great! I can even see your reflection in the side panel. Tough to do on black paint. I even like the wheel treatment and I don't usually like big wheels.

Go back to the beginning and read again!

My favorite soap opera "As the Private Eye turns" Hey McNally, tell him it's called "a restraining order, and I know how to use it!"

And in the end the toys bombed too! Why someone doesn't get fired for shenanigans like that boggles me.

Well, I see Myers Manx rear clip and front fenders. 53 Corvette headlight areas installed upside down and rear pan in the, well...rear. Not sure of the cockpit area, maybe from an ancient XR6?

Absolutely true! Just like a certain 69 Camaro that came out right around the same time.
