Very nice hot rod builds Dennis! Been working on my 32 roadster build and already want to do another one!

Looks great so far! I will also be following along with your build. Gives me ideas for my own 32’s

Very nice restorations so far! I have a 32 roadster and five window that I am soaking right now to bring back to life.

Very nice job. Keep up the good work.

That is the coolest bunch of builds I’ve seen in a long time! Other than the Mustang, which is awesome, I love how it is all in the same time period!

Nice lookin wild ride!

Very much appreciate the compliments. A friend of mine at work just acquired a 66 Chevelle SS396 4speed from his dad. Needs restoration but is a driver. I love that car! My Grandma’s/ my car, I can see why only 19,000 were made in 66. Not that attractive of an automobile! Funny, now being out of high school for 30 years, I kinda wish I still had that car! By the way, putting a Jaguar V12 in a Chevelle IMHO is sacrilegious!!!! But, to each his own! LOL!

This is a fantastic thread! Especially for people like myself that like to build trucks and big rigs, but just not that often. Thanks guys for putting this together.

Thank guys for the compliments! Much appreciated. Good to know on Hart’s Parts! Their stuff does look pretty nice.

My apologies if this isn’t the right place to pst this. I have the Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper kit and was wondering if there is any resin company’s out there making wheels and fender flares for this kit. Wanting to build it as a little race car! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks David! I very much appreciate the compliment. It’s not perfect to the actual 1:1 but I’m pretty happy the way it’s turning out just using reference pics. Just gotta add the rear window trim yet and I think I’ll be done with filing and grinding! I found the grill, bumpers, and stock hood conversion kit from Hart’s Parts Resin. Gotta get that yet. Thank you very much Jeff! I have dabbled in resin casting some small parts in the past but casting a whole body is way out of my league!

Very nice job!

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate the compliment. Just ordered the Artesian Turquoise paint. Getting closer and closer to that stage.

Very cool idea to make polishing easier. Well worth the extra effort. I know as well the pains of wet sanding and polishing small details.

Wow! Very nice builds! I would say it has been a very successful year in your work shop!

Finally a full coat of primer to see all of the imperfections. Spotted a few, hence the spots of glazing putty. I see I missed a spot! Now to add the .040 styrene to the back window for the glass trim. Let me know what you think. Good or bad. Suggestions or tips.

Finally got back doing some work on this fun project. Removed the last part of the molded in rocker rear quarter moldings. I added new drip rails with .025 styrene round rod. After all of these years in the hobby, I took a tip from one of you guys here on the forum and used Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. This stuff is fantastic!!! Used it when adding the drip rail and been using it on numerous other builds. I know I’m a little late to the party on that one!

Well, looks like grey wins! I’ll get it ordered from Pro Tech. Thanks guys for your input. Much appreciated!

I hear ya there! Done it many times!

Very impressive collection to say the least!

Awesome build! You are very creative and a skilled craftsman!

Very cool project! Really liked the way you casted the front emblem!

Very sharp! That paint job is stunning. Yes indeed, would like to see interior and engine details!

Looks good so far! Nice job! I run into that same dilemma a lot myself!

My inspiration pic. I love these ole hot rods without all of the glitz and glam!
