That is awesome! I don´t see the problem, your meds are working well!

Can´t go wrong with the Pegasus T´s! Very nice Poncho!

Great color combo and I love that mild chop! Looks awesome!

Color choice is unusual, but I like it! And those caps fit perfectly!

Sweet looking Fox Body!

Great Mustang, lLooks awesome! Well done!

Great color choice! Love it!

The story continues as convincing as expected. Nice!

Ryan, I love the´40s, too. I also like the paint, the stance and the whitewalls! This will look nice!

Hi guys, welcome to my first WIP here on this board. Some of you may have noticed already: I love to rebuild famous and legendary Hot Rods and Custom Cars in scale, so here is my new project: Revell´s Chip Foose-built ´48 Custom Cadillac, The Eldorod: I could have built it box-stock and it would have been a nice add to my collection of custom rebuilds. But there is this whispering voice inside my head that keeps telling me: „don´t build box-stock, don´t build box-stock, don´t...“ And, as always, I will obey. The idea is to turn the 2012 Foose-built Eldorod into the Foose-designed and Boyd Coddington-built Eldorod that rolled out of Boyd´s shop in 1998. Back then it looked like this: It´s actually the same car. Chip rebuilt it a few years ago into it´s, now blue, appearance that is shown on the box. But in my opinion, the original version looks better and cleaner. Maybe it´s because I´ve been a fan of this car for 20 years now and I just want to have it in my display case (could have bought the Franklin Mint die cast, but I see myself as a builder, not a buyer). So, let´s re-foose and boyd it... I will begin to work on the chrome parts. I´m doing that first, because I want to send them in to a company for replating and that will last a few weeks. Not that cheap or fast than doing it with Alclad or Molotow but definetely the best way to get REAL chrome. At first I removed the bumper guards from the front bumper... ...and did the same with the rear bumper. The new Eldorod version features a ´54 Pontiac grille, while the original had a single, straight grille bar. I´ll be using a Chezoom grille bar from the Testors kit to replace the center (an original Boyd part for a Boyd-built car, I think that´s adequate): Here is a mock up of the front: I think that´ll look great when the parts are chrome plated... In the meantime I will continue with some body mods, so stay tuned... Thanks for watching!

Lookin´good! I like the paint scheme! I think I will get me the re-release...

Thank you very much, guys! Sounds good! Can´t wait to see them!

Very nice project! Imo, that was the most beautiful GM concept car ever! Always wanted to do this myself, but I never got to it... I´ll keep watching this, the start looks good, so far!

Bought this Corvair kit earlier this year: I was surprised to find a convertible boot on one of the parts trees, though the manual doesn´t mention it. But the idea was born and I searched the internet for Corvair Convertible ideas. I found this drawing by my favorite automotive artist, Steve Stanford: The second I saw it I was completely hooked by the simple and clean look of it, so I just had to build my Corvair that way: The body was smoothed a little bit and the roof was cut off. Then I lowered the suspension and used Pegasus Chrome T´s with matching disc brakes. Sun visors came from my parts box and exhaust tips were scratch built from copper tubing. The engine was wired and the carburators were topped with resin cast custom air cleaners. This is a nice kit, by the way, with many cool options. I´m thinking of buying another one to build a coupe, maybe with a little italian supercar-attitude. Imagine a Lambo V12 in the back instead of a rear seat bench...???

Love it! The chop looks great and the taillights are a very nice add!

Nice one, with one of my favorite sets of wheels!

Another nice and clean build, Túlio! I love that paint job! Often, those ´56 Fords were painted two-tone, but this dark blue all over looks perfect!

Looks cool, nice stance!

Cool color combo! And I just love those Pegasus Chrome T´s!

Great story, told with nice builds! I´m looking forward for more adventures of Jerry...

Wheels/tires/paint combo: absolutely nice!

Wowsers! I love that paint job!

Wow, that´s a very nice and believable conversion! And the color suits it very well!

Super cool!
