Thanks. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Thanks Bob.

Great looking hot rod. Love the paint.

Nice. Great job.

Nice save on this one Bob. The red looks great. Looking forward to seeing the Nomad finished.

Calling it done. Thanks all for looking and commenting.

This is a really nice kit, parts fit well, and it was a fun kit. The interior/engine hood hinges area was a little finicky, but worked out ok. The paint is Tamiya light green, interior is Tamiya semi-gloss black. There is a lot of detail painting that I'm not good at so it looks a little sloppy. Someone with better skills than me could make this kit look really nice.

Thanks Carl. Feeling better today, was able to get some done. Almost ready, just need to put on a few decals and I'll call it done.

Thanks EMRE, JC, Bob, and carl. No progress lately, been under the weather this week.

Bob, I've bought a couple of distributors from them, but no engines. The only thing I can tell you is I had no problems and shipping was fast.

Got some body work done. There is a lot of hand detail painting on this kit and with my shaky hands I'm not very good with it. It's looking like a sloppy mess. One thing to watch is the engine hatch needs to go on before the interior is installed, not after. And it's kinda of finicky getting the rear of the interior and hatch hinges to fit right.

Thanks Dan. Thanks Sonny.

Stopped in at Ollie's yesterday, picked up these two.

Got some interior work done. Lots of small decals involved.

Thanks. Thanks.

Progressing slowly. Got the front chassis done. The wheels are posable.

Thanks Joe.

Bottom of engine and rear chassis done. Parts fit really well, almost snap into place.

Thanks. Thanks. Thanks Carl. I never polish anyway. Thanks Joe. Thanks. Yea, it was a really tight fit.

I made the mistake of wiring and installing the distributor before installing the engine in it's cradle. It's a really tight fit. If I had read on further in the instructions it shows the distributor being installed after the engine is in the cradle. I got it there but not after tearing off a few of my wires. If you build this kit and are planning to install plug wires, best to do it after the engine is in the cradle.

Thanks. Thanks.

I'm liking the green.

Looking good Bob. That's a great looking color.

Looks great. It is a really nice kit. My wife likes the VW and wanted me to build one a few months ago. She wanted it pink. The kit goes together really nice.

I've looked at the colors in the link above and looked at some photos online. Seeing lots of red, white and yellow. But I saw a couple of light green ones that caught my eye. I have a bottle of Tamiya x-15 light green, I'm going with it. The interior will be either black or some type of brown.

Thanks, lots of nice colors there. Thanks. Thanks Joe.
