Awesome work, I'm looking forward to the future pics!

Thank you!

It looks good in orange, nice to see one built.

Nicely done! And as for the dashboard and wheels...that's the beauty of a custom, right?

Excellent work on both of these!

Cool rig, that looks great!

Thank you!

Cool!

Thanks, guys!

Built from the old Tamiya kit, with a dashboard/stering wheel out of Revell's Miata and parts box wipers to convert it to US-spec. I tried something new for painting the interior, TS-63 NATO Black followed by TS-71 Smoke Tint. I like the look, it reads as "black" with a little more depth than the usual straight semigloss black. A full writeup is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome.

Nice choice for the wheels, those look great!

Looks good, nicely done!

Nicely done, the grille alone is a vast improvement!

Beautiful job on one of my all-time favorite liveries!

Glad this got bumped, I missed it the first time around but have a couple of C8s in the stash. My thoughts are pretty much the same as yours, but seeing what you've done here makes me want to give them a shot. Maybe I'll start with some lighter mods, though!

Excellent work on an interesting subject!

Very cool!

It looks good in those colors, nice work!

Good looking group of customs, nice job!

Nicely done! I built one of these as well, it's a great little kit.

Awesome rig, that looks great!

Thanks!

Looks good!

Resurrecting a thread from a couple years back to prove I do appreciate the feedback, even if the actual work gets done at a pace generally reserved for geological events! I've got another '48 in the works right now, and wanted to paint its block the same color as this one in a bid for continuity among postwar flatheads. Since that meant I finally had to get this one out of the case, I took care of the above-mentioned goofs and also corrected a couple other details that I missed earlier.

Nicely done!
