Simply amazing!! I can hardly wait to see this one at the NNL West!! Thanks for sharing,

Very nice build, Brian!! How can you guys all build so many nice models while I've only finished 2 builds all year?! See you at the NNL West!! Later,

All is well on the west coast, thanks. The kids are spending their Inheritance on college tuition, rent and food... Keep up the GREAT build!! Later,

The extra pics look GREAT!! And, now I can see what the license plate says!! Thanks for sharing this AWESOME build!! Later,

Looking good, Eric!! I'm glad to see that you're building, again!! I hope that all is well with you and the family, Later,

Yeah...I found it...but I haven't figured out how to get it out of the wall that its stuck in Later,

This one is coming along nicely, Bill!! We missed you in Sacramento last weekend...are you going to make it to Stockton on the 17th? Later,

Very nice work, my friend!! Very nice, indeed!! I can see this one cruising down the boulevard on Friday night in all it's glory!! The HEMI definately gets this one from stoplight to stoplight in a hurry when they want to... Thanks for sharing,

Here's a few chassis picks from the '43 Willy Gasser pickup I built a couple of years ago. Here's the link to the rest of the build pics. Here's the '55 Nomad gasser from a resin kit. Here's the link to the rest of the pics. Later,

Curt, It looks like those uber-nasty rare-earth magnets are also helping to hold the arch in the front of the hood Just kidding... This one is looking really fine!! Later,

Bernard, Every build gets better and better!! Keep up the GREAT work!! Later,

Mike, I wish the best for you and your family. Hang in there,

Looking good, my old friend!! See you tomorrow!! Later,

Here you go... Studebaker Hover Car

Thanks, Clay!! No...we don't want a reactor explosion in this one... Thanks!! I did a bit more work in PowerPoint to get a more 3D / chrome representation of the trim and the coolant lines this afternoon. Once all the body work is done and it's primed, this is how I'll decide the final shape, size and location of the trim that will be added before it's painted. Later,

I like the way you think!! Here's a couple of pics I modified in PowerPoint to get an idea of how I want the trim to look. I may move the pieces on the rear up a bit. I'll play with it some more in PowerPoint before I decide on the final location, but this gives a general idea of how it will look. And here's one with the "cooling lines" coming out from the engine area to where the SuperCool radiators are tucked away in what once was the wheel openings But...there's still a lot of fabrication to do to the left side before I get to that point... Later,

That thing is HUGE!! I don't build anything that big because I don't have room for it!! Can't wait to see it finished at the NNL West!! Later,

Thanks!! This one was not intended to align with the 5th Element movie, which is why it has a different look. Yes, this one has much more of an art deco feel. I'm not planning on adding exhaust tubes out the side, (only because it is intended to be a hover car with everything exhausting out the back), but I am planning on adding some chrome side trim to help break up the large areas on the sides where the wheels were. I'll probably go with 3 stacked trim pieces near each of the wheel areas. Actually, it's two hubcaps...One as an outer ring to fit the inner diameter of the tubing I used and one inside of that for the exhaust. Of course the inner one is from a Chevy Later,

I'm glad to hear that you got home safely. It was a pleasure meeting you and I hope to see you again sometime. Thanks!! I need to find a new source for the type of primer I like to use. The hardware store in town where I was buying it went out of business and the other stores don't carry the same brand. Here's a few pics of how it looks now while it waits for some sanding and a bit more primer. The basic shape on the right side and the rear is done. The left side still needs the filler panel for the running board and the rib on the bottom to be added. Here's how the top of the body lifts off for assembly. Well, that's all for now...I've still got a lot of fabricating and a bit of putty work to do before this one gets a final coat of primer... Later,

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I hope that you got home safely! No...I'm not selling any tires, but my bin for spare tires is getting full quickly! I don't have a bubble that would fit well on this one, so it'll stay a hardtop. I've already added the thruster to the trunk area. I'll post pics tonight when I get home. This will be my last one of these for a while. The "fun" is wearing off quickly...and I've got a lot of other stuff to build. Later,

Looking good, Alyn!! The exhaust wrapping is a nice touch Later,

GREAT work so far, John!! I can't wait to see this one at the NNL West next year!! Later,

Thanks, Jason!! I need to get another bottle of CA before I can finish the other side, but I plan on taking care of that tomorrow... Later,

Looking good, Curt!! That huge engine couldn't have found a better home!! I was going to ask Peter for one of these bodies to play with...but I couldn't even come close to what you've done with it!! BRAVO!! Later,
