That's looking pretty good Dave.

Great build and good looking little Hot Rod.

Nice looking 58 Chevy. Love the old drag cars. That Tangerine looks pretty kewl.

Looking good. Paint looks smooth. Like Rusty said.....the red accents on black looks nice.

You bet Airwreck. Wiring a distributor this way may not be everyones cup of tea but it works for me.

Good looking Mustang. Color looks great.

I know what you mean about colors. I always have trouble picking colors as well.

That looks pretty kewl. I'll be watching the progress.

Nicely done. Love that color.

Great job on the build. Looks like it's ready for the track.

Nice start and both 64's look great.

I appreciate the comments Dave.

Thanks Josh. Hope to see your 29 in the WIP section soon.

Thanks Dave. I just put a video of my 29 on my utube channel this morning. https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCIN98AGmuoT_YhqIs1Ll9Cw

Yeah I'll have to work on the cross member to get it just a little lower.

Since I'm making this into a Sedan I needed a back seat since one was not supplied in the kit. The seat out of the 29 Ford Roadster fits just fine.

Well....I managed to brake the front axle while I was removing two of the leaf springs as it is very weak. I glued a new brace in but still need to tweak it into shape. This is the ride height I'm getting now. Don't know if I can take another leaf spring out but I'm uncertain about the height. Those are not the wheels I'm using. Just used them for the mock up.

Thanks Carl.

Thanks Don. Yeah it came out ok.

I got a little bit done on the engine this morning. I thought I had lost the alternator. It's so bad looking I just missed it on the tree. Engine still needs some touch up and completed. Got the distributor wires glued in. Not sure how you fella's do your distributors but I use the supplied one and use a pin to get a starter hole and drill it out with a .069 bit. Then I glue the 9 30 AWG wires in. I've found that the Gel works better and doesn't wick up the wires. I guess I'm cheap, can't see paying for something I can make that looks pretty good. Just my thoughts fella's. With the wires glued in it gives me something to hold onto when painting the distributor.

Thanks Chaz.

Nice looking. Like the name.

Pretty sharp looking 442. That interior looks nice.

This is a very good thread and you guys have talked about a lot of key points in modeling. You know, for me I know I'll never be a great model builder because I just don't have the Patience and make a lot of mistakes and then I get frustrated. A craftsman I am not so I guess I'd put myself in a class of being an average model builder at best. I have inproved in my painting over the past 6 months but for me and airbrushing outside I think I've gotten as good as I'm going to get and I'm ok with that. I'm pretty much a box stock builder with the exception of wiring and some plumbing and when I see what you fella's have done with all your scratch building it just blows me away. I will say this....if it wasn't for this forum and all you great fella's sharing all your knowledge I wouldn't be were I'm at so my hat is off to all that share.

Welcome to the forum. Nice looking color on your GTX. Attention to detail looks great. You need to post these pics in the "Under Glass" section for all to see.
