I like the black wheels and bumpers... Kool build!

You definitely have a knack for it... Keep at it!

Nice roadster... I like the gold touches!

Looking good... Nice job designing it in Sketchup!

Great looking stuff!

I haven't seen those before... Great stuff! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the good words guys... Really appreciate it!

I haven't used it before, this'll be the first time. I'll keep you posted of the results!

Great looking Wildcat... Love the redline tires and great paint work too!

Looking great!

Thanks for the great comments guys... Great stuff! Yeah, the kit comes that way, as mentioned, an emblem is meant to go there. Not sure why they felt the mounting point should be a hole right through the trunk, but it will need to be filled! Agree with FoMoCo66, I'd get another kit if you had new ideas. Your Hudson build looks really cool. Love the grill choice. The Olds grill looks right at home! Again, thanks guys!

Great looking build!

That built into a nice model!

Great job... Nice interior!

The auxiliary lights look really cool. Are you planning to weather the chrome paint to look like your inspiration pics?

Javelin's are great looking cars, cool build!

Small, maybe big update. Got the two body halves joined together and some additional work. Got the hood rough shaped and some putty put on. I don't usually like to use putty if I don't have to, but these were odd shaped spots and it was the easiest. I use BONDO one part glazing putty and find it works nicely: Another shot of the putty and shaping. It's nice that the hood has such a prominent feature down the center of the hood, I used it to line up my pieces: The putty on the hood sanded and hood shaped. It was easy work with a file to get it all flowing together. I had to work out some angles to smooth curves at the joints. The transition at the very front of the hood required some careful cutting and filing to get to work but it came out ok: And a mock up. The new sloped front end is shaping up nicely. You can see it slopes a lot more than stock for that cool streamlined look. I think the front bumper looks better without the guards, but I like that trapezoid guard in the center and it matches the rear so it's staying: Another angle showing the sloped hood off nicely. Think I'll work on getting the side trim to meet up with the grill surround next: Profile. The front really slopes. I finally got the body joined. It was a bit of a trick, had to take it apart once and adjust the rear to split the misalignment between the two sides, but it's done, ready for filling, filing and sanding. You can see the .020 filler to get the fenders to join up. The joints were nice and tight with only two gaps that I'll have to address later. One you can see on the passenger's side door, below the .020 filler piece and the other is at the rear corner of the driver's side, not bad for such a curved joint: Rear 3/4. I got rid of the bumper guards for a cleaner look. It will need filling, filing and sanding to get it all to blend. But it's looking lean, mean and streamlined. Love the stock trim down the middle of the side. Really has a nice flow. Gotta come up with taillights too: Dead on the rear. Looks better without the bumper guards, but I like the license plate surround so that's staying. Gotta fill that rectangular hole in the trunk. You can see the other gap here, it's on the left, the corner, just bellow the .020 filler piece: Added some .040 1/2 round to extend the remaining rocker molding around the rear: The .040 half round is slightly wider than the rocker molding so it will have to be filed to match its shape: And one last shot of the rocker molding extended. I liked this small bead around the base as it anchors the car, the rest of the lower chrome moldings were sanded off as I felt it masked the clean design of the sides: As always, thanks for stopping by and taking a look!

Great subject... It's gonna be a cool build!

Nice work on your truck... It's gonna be super Kool!

Nice chassis work... Great paint color!

Nice looking street rod cruiser... Looking sharp!

Taillight mods are looking sharp!

Spare tire rack looks awesome!

Interior and roll cage looking good!

Yeah, there's nothing on the sides to get in my way... That'll be a good thing! 😀
