    I hear you loud and clear about short on time. I work on average 60 hours a week, plus wife, home owner, dogs ect. Time is the one thing you can't get more of.

    This was my sister's first car. Right down to the bike and the color. I laughed when I seen this. Great job!

    Thank you. Did you happen to post that diorama? If so I'll check it out.

    Cool idea, I've got a 70 camaro with the same situation in testors neon green. I like the 'vert idea, but ill leave that to you. I may try and make that 300 as realistic as possible, I've never built to that "extreme" before, but it's interesting the length some builders go to. With Models, like everything else I do, I try and always improve my ability. That's where I find the fun is.

    Cool idea for a build, this was originally a stock car kit, correct. Daytona's are awesome. That's one car on my bucket list that will never happen.

    I run my heater only as long as needed, looking for a trailer furnace. Yeah, it sounds like osha would have had a field day at that shop. Things were different 30 odd year's ago, I was barely a teenager.

    Military grade heat lamp. So nuclear ordinance?🤔 I know how that is, my little shop is unheated, I use a torpedo heater to take the chill off. I've always like this era of cars, not sure how I'm going to build it.

    My wife and I feel the same way with the drugs, we have some Kong toys that get filled with peanut butter. And stuffed animals for her to chew on. And they both love water bottles for chewing.

    She's definitely a "daddy's girl". She's a great dog, she has some "quirks" cause she's a rescue. She's got a little anxiety (compulsive licker) but she's super smart and gets along with my other dog harley very well. He's the boss and half her size.

    Beautiful work throughout this build. The fact it's a tribute is icing on the cake. I really like how you moved the inner fenders, sometimes the hard way yeilds the best results. All the small details like flipping the rear bumper, quarter window delete and especially opening the grill really bring this to life. Awesome work, builds like this are inspiration for me to improve my skills etc.

    Thank you. I decided to do the fish plates to make it look more "home built." Unfortunately the rear one's are kinda covered by the bed, but that's what would happen in the real world, so you can say it "accurate". The wood bed really wasn't that difficult, but this is ratty, a pristine one could be a pain. The worst part was drilling the holes, and the bolts I've made since I've posted these pictures.

    Interesting, I've been paying attention to everyone's suggestions, I plan on trying some"experiments" this weekend. I'll try variation of this.

    Took a journey after the dentist, these followed me home.

    I like where this is going, I'll be paying attention.

    Thank you.

    Thank you. You are definitely correct about knowing when to stop, these things get a mind of their own sometimes.

    Great job. 👍

    Awesome that you've had her all this time. Crummy about the resto situations, all too common story. gladly it worked out in the end. Beautiful Mustang.

    Harper decided to pay me a visit at the bench. It was difficult to get a pic, at a hundred pounds she thinks she's a lap dog.

    Hurt is one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs.

    That's a cool looking custom truck, I agree with leaving the top alone, and the channel. It would look good on any almost any wheel combo, depending how you decide to take it.
