Nice looking build. The photo's look Great.

Now that's a pretty kewl looking little Mini cooper. Really a clean looking build. Those wheels & Tires really make the car ?

I've tried scribing the panel line on a few models with not much success. I think the first time I tried it I didn't scribe deep enough and ran the #11 blade (back side of an old blade) out of the grove in a couple places. The second time around I bought some scribes at HL and they seem to work fine but the end result showed nothing. My final attempt I ended up making the door gaps in certain area's wider and I didn't like how it looked. I was scribing the panel line before I primed the body. I guess I just don't have the patience for it. I was at HL yesterday looking over the models at 40% off and I wondered over to the pen section in the store and found this pen with a 0.1mm tip. It was only $3.99 so I thought I would try it. I like how it turned out on an old body but not sure if I will use this or keep practicing with the scribe method.

Thanks for the info but I think I'm just going to display this one with the hood and deck lid open but thanks for the idea.

Well Mario, even with the little hair pulling it came out pretty nice. Great job.

Thanks Carl. This winter I'll be airbrushing in my garage. I have a 5000 watt heater that I've had for a few years and normally get it up to 55° - 60° in the winter. I'm curious as to how it's going to work out as far as painting.

Thanks James. Much appreciated.

Another good looking Drag car John. Great looking detail work on the business end of that 62.

Nice looking pair of Drag cars. Great engine detail work. Love that BB 409.

Nice looking refresh. I like the matching red brake calipiers.

Nice looking 32. I really like the engine detail. Great build.

That's a nice looking 68. Well done.

Nice looking model. Great photos.

Cobra looks pretty good. Nice color.

That's a good looking 55 Chevy Drag car. Nice color.

Thanks for the info but on mine it's not the hinge. My deck lid is not the same shape as the body. The only cure is to fab a new deck lid and that's out of my wheel house.

Thank's for the info about the tube. My deck lid just does not match the shape of the body.

Thanks man.

Thank's Buddy. Still not decided on the wheels & tires just yet.

Did some work on the body this morning. I got the fender skirts glued in place and they look tight all the way around. I got the hood fitting about a good as it's going to get but the deck lid is a different story. It does not fit well at all. I guess I'll display it with the deck lid open. I did a little mockup with the custom wheels from the kit and some white wall tires from the parts box. It was 32° this morning so I think I'll wait til later in the week to do any painting.

I love the ole 41 Willy's Gassers. Very nice job on capturing the cover pic.

Looking good. I like the mods.

Great looking 40 Willy's. I like the Bad News decals.

Love the ole 40 Willy's pickup. Nice job and the red looks killer. I built this kit earlier this year.
