Looking great, Alyn!! I like the weathering!! Don't stop now!! Later,

Well...then here's an update... To keep the radius of the bend consistent through the area near the door opening, I glued a piece of 3/4 round stock between the bottom of the running board and the fender. This served as a bending point for the 0.02" styrene sheet used to reshape the front fenders and eliminate the running boards from the design. Then the 0.02" sheet styrene was added and sanded to shape. Finally a light coat of primer before a thin layer of putty to smooth it all out. I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with the roof and the back...but I'll save all of that for another day...after I buy another bottle of CA!! Later,

Try again...I was having trouble pasting in the pics...

Thanks, guys!! This one won't be a convertible or a roadster, but I may tak a little out of the A pillar to give it a little more aggressive rake. Here's a quick view of what I plan of doing to the sides... Later,

Awesome work!! As usual!! Thanks for sharing, John!! Later,

Glad to help. my old friend! Peter, What do I need to do to get some of this love? I see one long and lean hover car hiding under all that plastic!! Later,

Thanks, Harry!! I'll check it out...once I find my PhotoShop CD...

That's a very nice, clean build, Bryan!! Thanks for sharing,

Thanks, guys!! Yes, Bernard, I agree that it would probably look better with a chopped top...but then you won't be able to see the cool details that I have planned for the inside... Later,

Thanks, Bernard!! It should look pretty cool sitting next to your salt flat Stude at the next NNL West show!! How's that vacation coming along? Later,

I agree!! Show us more!! Later,

Very nice work, Peter!! Thanks for sharing,

Very nice weathering!! This one should look pretty cool when it's done!! Thanks for sharing,

1 Great concept + 1 Great piece of artwork + 1 Great builder = 1 Great model!! Thanks for sharing,

I have got to spend more time learning how to use PhotoShop!! After I spend more time finishing kits I've already started, playing my new guitar, setting up my new amplifier, getting back into building WWII dioramas, building my next N gauge layout... Great work!! I like all of the versions you created!! Thanks for sharing,

Thanks, guys!! It's amazing how many sets of tires and wheels you can add to the old parts box when you build hover cars!! Later,

Thanks, Bernard!! It'll look cool sitting next to your Stude salt flat racer at the next NNL West!! Later,

Only if it's a vintage box or if there are still enough parts left over to use as a parts box. I'm running out of room!!

I had so much fun building the '53 Stude hover car based very loosely on the 5th Element movie that I thought I'd build one more. This is the all new Chevy Coupe for 2239!! It's advanced hover capabilities are unmatched by any other hover car out there!! Actually, I was cleaning up my desk after finishing the Wagon Rod and moving the remnants of kits I used for that build out to the garage when I thought, hey...what else would 99% of a Monogram Chevy coupe kit be good for?...so...instead of labeling the box "Parts Only" and moving it out to the garage, I cracked the box open and started building a second hover car. Step one was to fill in the bottom by super gluing a piece of 0.04" styrene to the fender assembly. Next was to fill in the wheel openings...first a backing, then adding the part to fill in, (and make what was the wheel area), flush with the sides of the fenders. After the wheel openings were filled in and the basic sanding was done, here's how it looked. But wait...I used the stock headlamp buckets on the Wagon Rod and the hood that comes in this verion of the '39 Chevy from Monogram has no side panels...so...I reached into what seems like a never ending supply of kits that I've robbed various parts from and grabbed the Prowler kit that gave up it's tires and wheels for the Wagon Rod. After a bit of measuring, cutting, trimming, gluing and sanding, here's how it looks so far. I've got a couple other major styling changes in mind before this one sees a bit of putty, detailed forming, primer and paint...but I'll probably model those changes in PowerPoint before I make them to the model. Well, that's all for now from the year 2239...stay tuned for more updates in the days to follow... Later,

From what I can see, this looks like a really nice build...but the pics are a bit out of focus... Thanks for sharing,

Very cool, John!! The 409 is one of my favorite engines!! Thanks for sharing,

Cool build, Rommel!! It reminds me of my '67 Camaro before I painted it. It may not have looked to good in primer, but it sure did run!! Later,

You gotta love those old landyachts!! Nicely done...and I applaude you for building the kit rather than leaving it tucked away in a box where no one can see it!! Thanks for sharing,

Very nice completion, Curt!! Actually, I built the engine and chassis. As you said, Al cut out the doors and trunk before he too realized that the interior panels needed more work than he wanted to put into it to make them look good when they were opened. You did the right thing gluing them shut...this way they at least look like they'll open. Thanks for finishing it!! Later,

Very nicely built!! GREAT subject matter, too!! Thanks for sharing,
