I get it and I think it is a solid tip but pictures would go along way and keep this tip from drifting off into no mans land.

Yeah but check out the light shining through the grille.I think it looks great thanks for the pics.

I always love your builds and this one is no different . you have a knack for not adding too much

Very nice job . I always appreciate a nicely built factory stock from this era . any chance of seeing the engine?

looks great. glad you decided to make time and show us what you are working on.

they are the 8" ones . and they are great for kids.

Nice call on those wheels .I also think this is a neat looking car and you did a great job with it.

Nice build. love the extra detailing you did. and those wheels really set it off so they were probably worth the price!

another great one . you are an artist.

I think if you are just detail painting you shouldn't have any problems unless you try to go over really fresh paint. it is just when you are spraying that it becomes a problem . I have had problems brushing tamiya paints over enamels.

I recognize those guys and recall some of their later work but I think you were right up there with them.I would love to hear more and see some pics if there are any .I always knew those contests were a pretty big deal but I never knew why. Thanks for the history lesson!

welcome I look forward to seeing some of your builds. And don't ask george 53 how to add pics to a post.also not sure where you are in terms of rediscovery but be sure to look around and see what others are using for materials and detailing items .a lot has changed even in the last couple of years in regards to paint especially. so skip past those old enamels and jump staight to the lacquers.

That's just crazy enough to work.

that's pretty cool I like the base and repositioning of the skeleton not to mention the car. also this is such a stand out show car it never occurred to me that it would have the changes that you called out .which is a valuable lesson on the importance of research.

I agree with everyone else! also I especially like the way you handled the less than smooth stock headlight area there isn't much you can do but you did it.

All I see is a nicely built model ,like the colors you used and the details you added are all pretty consistent so what would you change if you were to build the same kit again? I would also add that I haven't seen this kit built up in awhile so nice choice.keep on building and keep us posted.

I'm curious about the canned air too as most of my building time is in the evening and it wouldn't hurt to have a dependable propellant on hand that is silent .I am also aware of the air tanks that you can get and fill up at the gas station but a airbrush specific product would be preferred.

Nice lookin' truck .looked at some of the other builds and there are quite a few impressive builds as well .in regards to this one, did you open up the wheel wells ?the color is perfect and I like the additon of the stuff in the bed and the for sale sign it adds up to character.I dig it!

I always wondered if there was some kind of track or specifically designed wall system for those cause it does seem like a bad Idea unless you really hate your model.

you could try making a new windsheild by placing a piec of tape to the outside of the windsheild trace around the opening then remove the tape carefully and place onto a piece of clear plastic then cut out slightly larger than the line you traced.making a dirt screen type would be the same technique however you would have to find some suitable mesh material that looks good to you. you can find mesh material in a variety of places such as michael's craft store or hardware store sometimes you find it in the weirdest places . hope this helps good luck.

looks sweet and the paint is so nice it almost looks like a larger scale good job lets see what you do with the other kits you took the pieces off.

I think you are referring to the 56 ford with opening doors that didn't go together very well ,that one can be a chalenge .the 53 flip nose goes together ok it has basic detailing but a good place to start if you want to add more detail the only place that may be some what difficult would be the flip nose itself however I think a little careful building should give decent results . if you want something a little more stock or 60's custom the amt kit is the way to go.hope this helps.

Look here now if you are just gonna wreck this thing why not just pass it along to some one who can appreciate it.

It was that green color. I was impressed with how well the lacquer paint covered the the old color.
