Those cove moldings can be so difficult to chrome - yours looks just great, although only done on the top? Nice all around build.

Sharp build with really clean detail - and I love those wheels.

That stance is just perfect.

One of my favorite subjects - I like the detail work on the dash.

These were a pleasure to see - thanks for posting them.

Doodlebugs are a great subject and I hope to see more of them - especially so nicely done. I remember a neighbor had one back in the early 60's and lost the gas cap out in his field - I was the one who found it and was rewarded with a quarter.

I love these unusual subjects - this one is a keeper.

That's a 100% perfect build, not to mention the great photography. Congratulations - I might even drive up to Buffalo to see this in person.

A very impressive build - love those brakes.

Thanks for sharing a subject we rarely see here in North America - a perfect build with great detailing.

Really nice color and a clean build.

Absolutely calls for a tutorial - like you I'm not so tech savvy but I have a printer, photo editing and ready to try this out since I have a Minicraft Mercedes in the pipeline. How did you remove the paper backing after the printing?

Really sharp job on the interior.

Nicely done - I especially like the wheels and tires.

Trunk and other panel lines look nice. Classic subject with great detail and especially that color. I was a young man barely driving age when the real things were around and this has super nostalgia going for it.

I would like to see more builds like this - stock, clean and a great subject well done.

Your nice paint job and choice of color really complements this build.

Hello Jim - I'm just a few years behind you in age - welcome back. I hope you'll be showing us some new projects soon. After all, we age like fine wine.

Great rebuild and a nice choice for the body color.

Sharp looking build. IMC made some really super models back in the day - I loved their Beetle kit.

Unusual to find four door versions of 50's vehicles. Your research and detail really show. Nice work to be proud of. Don't you wish the Jo-Han molds still existed?

Hello Alan - I am reviving this thread to tell you how impressed I am with this build. I am in the process of de-snaking the nearly identical Serpent kit and your careful description has been very helpful. I must agree that its a surprisingly great kit and something I wouldn't normally associate with Pyro / Lindberg. Your good quality photos are a pleasure to study - love the detailing on the brake plates. I have a feeling we're in the same age bracket and your experience shows. So does your brother still build?

I remember building these when I was young and you've done such a nice job - you must have worked eight days a week (not to mention a hard days night) to finish them.

Great looking wheels are a perfect match for this subject.

Love those painted wheels and dog dish hubcaps - you made some nice changes and produced a sharp build.
