A couple old Fords today... Really clean Fox body LX convertible in Emerald Green And a '28/'29 Tudor in well earned patina -
I'm sure you've seen this one before, but in case you hadn't... Perhaps pancaking the hood would help give you some room to blend the new headlight surrounds in on the inside. But what you've got is looking good.

Thought I'd be taking a break on this one while I got another one in paint but changed my mind on the color for that one, so I've been knocking out the chassis. Made a lot of stupid mistakes that I had to sort out, the biggest problem being having the chassis, floor, and cage all glued together but wanting them different colors. Went with silver for the bars and black for the floors. Ended up spraying everything silver, then brush painting the black. It's not my finest work but it'll do. And of course there's stuff that fit fine in mock up but gave me trouble now like the drivers side header. The magneto is from Detail master. I plan on doing the barrel valve and fuel lines, and it still needs a few more parts installed along with some detail painting and touch ups, but I got to a good stopping point.

Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!

I have seen those before and almost ordered them because I really like their American SS wheels/tires, but never noticed the 4 lugs. Pretty cool! -

I just noticed those wheels are 4-lug...where did you find those?? -
Do you also have 1:1 project cars?

I've posted about the '57 before, but it has changed a lot since the last time it was on the road. Of course that was around 3 years ago. I've also been working on this '64 El Camino. It's a full frame off. Lots or rust repair, suspension work, 9" rear. 6.0LS. But it's been pretty hard for me to find the motivation to get out in the garage the last couple years. Much easier and quicker return on my effort building models! -

Oooooooooh man. That is cool. -
You're nailing it on this one. Always been one of my favorite customs.

I don't remember where I saw this and it might have been here a long time ago, but thought I'd share anyway. This is a "Printed Circuit Board holder." It is excellent for holding a body to put decals on when when you really need an extra hand. Good for holding chassis too for assembly. Lots of adjustability and it rotates. They go for $10-$20 online.

I decided this one should be something close to Evening Orchid/Iris Mist...well I didn't figure that out before my last Scale Finishes order, so this is my compromise. I decanted and mixed a couple Tamiya colors and came up with this. It's pretty close to what I had in mind and I'm excited to see it with some white detailing and decals.

A tale of 2 A990 Race hemi Plymouths

Really nice work on this pair Bill. -
Thanks! As far as I know, there's really not much difference from '65-'69 so I don't see why that wouldn't work, especially for racecar purposes. I call this one a '60 and I don't recall why I landed on that year, because the resin kit I bought was sold as a '63.
