AMT double T kits too.

If you go with cycle fenders, some older kits had them. Monogram '32 Ford, Black Widow pick-up, and Model T come to mind. Or you could use the tire covers from continental kits.

you could look at cheap, disposable lighters or perhaps markers for the general shape of the tank.

The Cannonball run was also a real race that was run in 1971, 1872, 1975, and 1979

me three!

To clarify my remark about the Chevy: I'm a fan of odd engines.

Rule of thumb: locks only keep honest people out. No matter what security measures are taken, the thieves are one step ahead.

Looks great so far!

I hate spell check. That should be notching the grille shell.

How about using a "suicide" spring perch and nothing the center of the grille around the mount?

I have to say that I don't get how anyone can just sit and do nothing. As for the question at hand, I built a radio with my father when I was a kid. I actually asked him if we could. So radios must be toys too.

I will definitely follow this build. I'm curious about how you will handle the retention straps molded into that NASCAR rear window. Keep them or remove them somehow?

In the end it boils down to 1) demand and 2) what value a person places on it. And as stated before, a bad repair or restoration on one does not mean all examples will have issues. you get what you pay for

I've got it now. That blurry second picture was causing me a bit of confusion.

Actually Saturday, but I finally received my order from Scale Motorsport. After 2 weeks of USPS tracking saying it will be delivered each day, but it is enroute to the next facility

And on top of my previously mentioned morning, my GF got something big stuck in her tire while coming home from out of state. Had to find someplace that could get four tires by tomorrow while she was waiting for a tow truck.When she gets home, I have to figure out what non-critical parts I need to get (I'm thinking at least an inner fender panel).

Let's not forget "Going for a bath in the purple pond". For stalled projects: "i'm waiting for the right part/ kit", "I'm contemplating the next step", and "waiting for the paint to off-gas/ dry (my excuse for a VW Type III started 21ish years ago)"

that looks like an easy swap. Now I need to track down a Cougar kit.

If I am correct, the Fruit Wagon is derived from the Double T kit. And elsewhere on this site, the engine is said to not be a correct Lincoln

I don't get the concept and construction of it from the photos

bummer you chose a Chevy!

driving 30 in a 40 and hitting the brakes to slow to 20 before speeding back up to 30. lather, rinse, repeat.

Either coincidence or great minds. I just started back to work on the same VW kit, nearly twenty years after painting it.

does it make its own fuel (ethanol)?

Still haven't seen the '63 in the wild here. Neither LHS or HL
