Love the color, love the chrome, and love the close-ups! Thanks for posting

Wow, three huge things going for it: 1) beautifully built, 2) wonderfully photographed, and 3) it's not yet another '32 Ford!

Now you've got me excited to pull my curbside out of mothballs and try my hand at it!

Wow, the rusty look is so perfect on your model, I'd have to get a tetanus shot before I'd touch it! Well done

Aah, the Touch of the Master's Hand. Well done!

Awesome mash-up! I too love building "what ifs", although they do usually end up deceptively hard to execute ?

I'd be proud to display that beauty! Thanks for posting

Fantastic build!!!

I'll be following your build with bated breath!

What a classic, and beautiful build! What paint is the yellow?

I'm digging the teal color choice. Can I ask what the paint is?

Totally diggin' the color, stance, and 300 pounds of chrome grille!

Wicked kool!

Not in a million years would I have thought to add an open ashtray! So awesome

I LOVE your build! Take two things that don't usually go together, and mash them up anyway - - - great recipe for fun and creativity! Thanks for posting

I'm liking both paint jobs. I wish I could get the luster that you've managed. Thanks for posting!

I'm digging the stance. Looking forward to the completed build!

Man, I would drive that all day long! I love the retro mod vibe. Thanks for posting!

Totally puts a smile on my face! A fleet of these in my town of Las Vegas would make a fortune

Wow! Beautiful as jewelry. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful tribute to a beautiful car!

My son recently bought a 2003 Rubicon, and I decided to give him a diecast model of his vehicle as a gift. The closest I could come to his black on black hardtop was a Maisto Sahara TJ with a brown top and beige interior, so that's what I started with. What you see is: - 3 1/2" lift in scale, - rims repainted black and trimmed with Molotow chrome, - bare metal foil on grill, - top repainted black, - interior repainted two tone gray, - "Rubicon" decals on hood, - Subdued American flags covering Sahara logos on sides, - Steps removed from sides, - Antenna redone with piano wire. It didn't come out identical to his vehicle, but as they used to say in the old days, "it looks good from a trottin' horse".

Great job Dave! I'm like you - - - years away from the hobby, eyes and fingers don't work like they used to, but the fun is still the same! BTW; get a set of cheap jeweller's magnifiers, and the fun gets magnified 3x

Tahitian Turquoise; BEST Chevy color EVER! And I love the tutone treatment. Thanks for posting

The photography is awesome! Great build too
