Here's a quick update... I got the bed glued to the cab, the running boards widened to fit snuggly under the doors and the chassis fitted to the body. With the chassis now fitted to the body, this is how the rake and stance will look when it's done. Well, that's all for now... Later,

Oh yeah...this one is coming along very nicely!! The flamable, toxic and atomic radiation decals fit right in!! Did you use Press Tights for the lettering? Later,

That's some pretty wild stuff you've got going on there, Virgil!! Thanks for sharing your techniques!! Later,

The paint looks like it went on pretty well!! You just have to love the Testors lacquer!! Later,

Bernard, That little Dremel Stylus you bought should help you make short work of that firewall! Keep up the GREAT work!! You're going to have quite a collection of pretty cool models to bring to the next NNL West!! Later,

The Rochester fuel injection is just too cool!! It's GREAT to see it in a hotrod like this!! Later,

Very nicely done...and BIG!! Thanks for sharing!!

The real question for me, Harry, is "can you fix it with PhotoShop?"

Very nice builds!! I have several of these that I bought pre-built, then disassembled, detailed and rebuilt. Thanks for sharing,

I've used it and was impressd with how well it covers. In fact, all of the Testors lacquer colors that I;ve used covered really well. I agree...the Buick side trim really adds a new dimension to the Merc!! Thanks for sharing,

Now that is one SERIOUS Grill!! What are you going to put in the back to counter-balance the weight! Later,

I'll look through my stuff when I get home tonight. I'll send you an email if I find anything... Later,

Yeah...I really like the wheel openings, too!! Thanks for sharing,

I agree...the frame is coming along very nicely!! Later,

Very, very nice, Marcos!! The thing I'm always reminded of by my friends from back when I had a Vega were the butt marks on the inside of the hatchback window. Later,

Thanks, Clay!! On this design the door opened into the fender instead of swinging outward. The small piece on the door tucked into the fender opening. Yes, suicide doors would also work very well with this type of design. Later,

So that's where the Avanti went... It really sucks getting old...you tend to forget more than you remember... Maybe you guys can get together somewhere on the east coast for a group photo!! Later,

Nice weathering and detail work!! Thanks for sharing,

Very nicely done!! This is a great example of how well the Revell '32 kits are designed and can be built!! Thanks for sharing,

The stance looks awesome!! This era of Mustang always did look better lowered. Where are those excellent detail pics that you're becoming known for? Later,

GREAT detail work, Pat!! This is going to look awesome sitting next to your '67 Impala!! Later,

One thing that I never really liked about the last '50 Chevy truck I built was how I tear-dropped the back portion of the rear fender, but then left the back portion of the front fender alone. I always felt that it drops off too sharply down towards the running board just after where it meets the cowl and the hood. So for this build I've added a small section of the front fender from the Revell '41 Willys coupe that creates a more natural looking, continuous line from the top of the fender down to the running board. (Very reminiscent of the mid-forties Chevy designs). I think this change makes the front a rear fenders look more alike. I've also doubled the thickness of the running board, bringing it up to the bottom edge of the door. (Sorry for the poor quality pics...my son borrowed my camera for the weekend...). These last two pics also show a bit of the small, recessed hood scoop that initially came from the '06 Z06 Vette. Though it's difficult to see in these pics, the top, leading edge of it has been reshaped to match the contour of the windshield. I also removed the 2 small posts from the Z06 scoop and replaced them with one small brass post in the middle. This helps tie the look of the hood scoop in with the two pane windshield. Well, there's still a lot of cutting, fitting and gluing to be done before this one is ready for paint, so I'd better get back to it... Later,

Very nice build, Marcos!! I saw a Nissan GT-R at the local Nissan dealer today. What a cool little sports car!! and all for $84K!! Thanks for sharing,

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Very Nice, Mike!! Later,

And...you keep telling me that you have such a small work space... It's all that I can do to keep two projects going at the same time!! Later,
