Very nice job! Paint looks great! Vinyl top, chrome trim, and interior details all look fantastic. I also like the wheel and tire choice. They go very well with the car.

Beautiful! Right off the show room floor!

Wow! Very nice builds! I gotta say, I love that truck but both are stunning! Well done.

Very nicely done! Beautiful paint work along with the entire build!

Thanks Steve! Thank you Craig for the compliments! This is what happens when you have a kit and just want something different! I do like the Revell Highboy and Coupe kits much better as well. I have two of them in the stash with one of them about to go onto the bench. I think I have got myself a little addiction to 32’s after this one! I hear ya Thomas. I was wondering when someone was gonna zing me on that one! My first choice was a Flathead of course but I didn’t have one that I didn’t mind stripping out of another kit. Next time for sure! I appreciate the compliment and feedback as well.

Very nice start so far!

I would take a seat in that car for the rest of the day and ponder on the fact that I’m sitting in the same seat as the late, great Dale Earnhardt! A story to be told for years to come! Ok, I’m coming back to reality now! Lol!

Nice lookin hot rod so far! I really like your wheel choice and the paint turned out fantastic!

I think we’ve all been guilty of that a time or two! I hate waiting for things to arrive in the mail! I think that’s why I have so many projects going at once! Waiting on one, hop to another.

Looking great so far! Very nice scratch building skills. I have a little collection of the DOH cars and trucks done in kit form. Yes, Cooter’s tow truck is impossible to find.

Wow, haven’t checked on this in while. Great job Steve! Really love the look of this buld. Engine and interior look fantastic not to mension the paint and bodywork are nothing short of awesome. Really nice job.

Thanks! I’ll take a look.

Agreed with all of the others. Paint and primer did not like each other. I have never liked Rust-Oleum products. Dry times are off the charts. With automotive paint, you have to use an automotive primer that is compatible. In my opinion, Rust-Oleum is not. I have had great results with Krylon industrial grey primer for years. I have covered it with everything from enamels to lacquers, to eurothanes. As a matter of fact, I just used that very same paint mfg (Automotive Touchup) over Krylon Industrial grey primer on my Chevelle build. Turned out great. I do not like the nozzles on the Automotive Touchup cans though. They drip due to too wide of spray pattern. Spray hits the rim edge of the can. Other than that, very nice paint and clear. Bottom line, get rid of the Rust-Oleum primer. IMHO Looks like a trip to the purple power tank is in your future unfortunately. I feel for ya, I’ve been there. Had that happen on a Ducati Monster tank I painted. Had to sand it all back down to bare metal. Very sad day.

Nice looking build Ray! Paint looks amazing. What are those wheels from?

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

Very nicely done! You don’t see one these built stock very often right down to the white walls! Really like it!

Wow! Gorgeous looking hot rod! Great job on the roof and all of your details. Motor looks fantastic. Nice job!

Welcome Randy! Lots of talented, helpful people here.

Welcome to the forum Phil! Most of the people here have been building a long time, myself included. We all started just like yourself. There are a lot of great, helpful, encouraging builders here with all sorts of knowledge!

Thanks Rodney! Yup, already have another one in the works! It’s the newer Revell 32 Highboy.

Now that is a cool looking little Nash gasser! Love it!

Very nicely done! Color looks great! When I was a kid my neighbor restored two of these. Very similar to your build here. Nice job.

Thank you very much guys! I can’t tell ya how much I appreciate the compliments. Cutting those fenders off and dropping the body over the frame was the very first thing I did. When I first opened the kit, I was not impressed with it so I just started cutting with simple notion in mind that if I screwed it up, I’ll just make the parts box a little bigger! Lol! What do ya know, like I said before, it turned out to be one of my favorite completed builds. Now I really gotta get those tail lights on and maybe a cheesehead license plate! Thanks again, very much appreciated!

Great start so far! Looking forward to the next step

Very nice build! Paint and details look great!
