I think you'll like his work. I have some of his sbc headers (as well as a couple of engine kits and other pieces) and they look great as well as reasonably priced.

Email Josh thru the website and ask, he's good about printing products. vcgresins@yahoo.com

Another amazing build. Very cool rod.

I believe you summed up what I was trying to say but without my rambling narrative. Yes, I think or what each of my build to have a story, with out necessarily a detailed back story of characters.

I waa doing a Google search for something and this came up...

My son sent me this photo awhile ago...

This is perfect. A beautiful build. Subtle, yet quite involved.

I returned to models after over a decade of being away and having had to get rid of everything because of my life situation...so, I don't have much right now, when I returned in August, it was from Ground Zero. I am currently working on a 29 Ford for the Race of Gentlemen California Drags community build. No real back story narrative but I'm trying to build a realistic representation of a car built in the garage. A model A 4 banger engine. Nothing fancy, just a barn find body on a 29 frame, suspension parts found at swap meets, etc. When I'm not building, which is often because of time and budget factors, I'm going through builds in my head. Looking for parts, building and rebuilding combinations in my head. The builds I focus on are realistic ideas of what I might have in my own garage if I had the money and mechanical skill irl. Nothing fancy or extreme. My next build is going to be the new Revell 32 roadster a member here actually gifted me around Christmas. (Thank you Kit Karson). I'm wanting to get some parts from Jason here and going to use a sbc I have from vcg resins by Reese with his 6 Stromberg intake. I've been thinking about a 60 Chevy pick up with a 383 Stoker sometime. I have a 57 Ford station wagon that I'm going to build with a Y-block and Offenhauser valve covers and a tri-carb intake. I suppose just common hot rods, etc. Anyway, just a few thoughts on why I'm here...to build a collection of cars that I'd own if I could afford them.

Finned frog mouth scoops for Strombergs.

Man, your builds are spot on. Always.

I love the patina around the louvers

A question about the Atlantis 57 Chevy, did they fix the gap on the hood?

It's the little things...velocity stacks for my 4 banger from VCG.

Now I'm trying to deal with very delicate, fiddly suspension parts and ready to pull out what's left of my hair. A couple rear suspension parts keep breaking and I don't even know about adapting the front axle...and vent over. Just setting aside everything for a day.

That looks good. Some creative scratchbuilding.

Still working on the weathering...and the Artillery Wheels. I hope to finish the suspension soon and have a mock up.

Looks cool. Amazing.

I don't know if you want the efi or the Webers set up. The best looking 427 Cobra engine kit I found was here... https://www.vcgresins.com/shop/p/fordfebigblockcobraenginekit It doesn't have a Weber set up but he does offer for his Ford FE Big Block Gasser engine and maybe he'd sell you the intake with the Cobra engine?

Okay, very original and cool.

Morning comes way too early, even though today I didn't start work until 5:30 am, banker's hours I suppose.

A beautiful build. I remember growing up the 55-57 Thunderbirds were one of my dad's favorite cars and he was a Chevy guy.

I found these last night, they're already out of stock but you can request an email when they're printed again. They were done by Bolide, available thru VCG Resin by Reese. https://www.vcgresins.com/shop/p/61-66-ford-f100-grilles-and-upper-trim-panels-with-lenses

Know any quotes from "Alice in Wonderland"?

Without an alarm I wouldn't have gotten up for work at 1:45 am, which is a better time to go to bed than to wake up at.
