  1. Absolutely beautiful design and execution! The crispness and accuracy are astounding.
  2. I followed this entire build Daniel. Everything about it most impressive! Following your progress was vert enjoyable and I picked up a few pointers along the way. Fine job!
  3. Glad you’re back! Stay healthy and send the pictures!
  4. Yes, I now document in a notebook as I progress along the build. I started this because when I needed to duplicate a color, say like on a carburetor or chassis/suspension parts, the old memory just wasn’t good enough.
  5. Good to see this moving along. Those Halibrands look like they were designed for this car.
  6. It’s looking very good. Your scratchbuilding skill is top notch. I too would like to attempt this build………someday. All I have now is a body.
  7. Looks good so far Gary, especially the Halibrand wheels and skinny tires! Nice to have found the substitute parts, missing special items can kill a build.
  8. What you did with this kit is fantastic. The interior and exterior colors are a perfect choice and the wheels complement them. The many details you’ve done, bumpers, bezels etc look great. Nice job!
  9. I use a curved Xacto blade and rock it back and forth. The you can clean up any nubs with a one edged razor blade on a piece of glass. Works better than slicing.
  10. You’re right, the lead foil looks the best! Is that what you used to connect the intake manifolds on the hemi?
  11. It will be interesting to see your solution on the roll bar. Information I will need on mine. Didn’t think of the scale, my body is 1/24.
  12. An excellent subject. I too have the makings of this early Grand Sport. As a note, this car used the tube chassis as in the Accurate Miniatures kit. The engine you have is correct, along with the aluminum transmission and bell housing. I believe the exhaust manifolds were aluminum also. Your mockup looks pretty cool so far. Cant’t wait to see it with the decals.
  13. I like the idea of these leather punches. Didn’t know they existed.
  14. God start! Really like the doors.
