Aha - 440. That is going to be such a cool build. Plan to be finish sanding and painting in the morning. Ceilings. Not plastic.

I like it, Eelco. What engine you putting in it? No wait - make it a surprise. Didn't get the Christmas decorations up, but got the 2 bathrooms done. Me and joint compound don't get along but I might be ready to sand the kitchen in the morning. I was able to get the suspension on the D50, but it hit me last night. I made a straight front axle from Evergreen but didn't make any spindles so the old axle is going in the trash and I'll make a new one that a tad more narrow and make spindles. The joys of scratch building.

Love those Spyders! Did you shoot them with Alclad? The build is looking very good and I look forward to seeing updates.

That's pretty and has great details.

I don't care either way about a digital version as long as IT WILL NOT REPLACE THE PRINTED MAGAZINE! When will #154 be delivered?

Nice way to start, Marcos. Excellent job on the engine & chassis and waiting anxiously for further progress.

Superb looking build, especially the paint and engine detail. What's the source of those wheels?

Will a coat or 2 of Future over the final primer also eliminate ghosting from removing emblems, door handles, etc. before painting. Never had the problem with Testor's, but now that I've switched over to HOK paints, I get ghosting.

Not yet, Chris. I'm trying to balance a remodel of both bathrooms and the kitchen, getting the Christmas decorations together, fixing a hose reel, and both vehicles need to be washed. I did get a clear coat on a purple '37 Chevy this morning. Hopefully next week I'll be able to post some pics.

Very interesting build that I'm going to keep watching.

I like the 2 seater version better. Please put my name in the hat for getting one. If someone would like to trade for the dual cowl version I have, I'm open to hear about them.

Finally recieved the 2 hemi Dodge Dart kits I ordered in September from Hobbylinc.

I read Mr. Obsessive's post. I hope he starts building again and posts here. I learned so much from him.

Never heard of Showtime Resin, George, but did you know we're organizing the Model Car Builders of Florida club? We have about 20 people already. If you're interested, PM me a "real" email address along with the city you live and I'll add you to the list.

Hey Bill. Just metioned you in a different post and then here you are. Glad you're back and hope to see some of your work soon.

Yeah. Romell has been missing as well as Mr. Obsessive and Sauber. All 3 are really good builders that I've been able to learn from.

Yesterday I ripped off the rear suspension and am starting over. This time I'm going to try 2 shocks at each corner. I want this puppy level.

Brushed as in airbrush, right? Gorgeous color and application.

Excellent choice of words. God bless our troops and keep them safe.

I usually don't post WIP pics - don't know why not. I was looking at the D50 last night and it appears the the front end is higher then the rear. I want it the opposite or at least level. This scratch building is sorta fun but a pain in the butt

If you mean the D50, Eelco, it's coming along. I've scratch built the rear leaf spring suspension and can now start the front end. Body work is almost done. A 426 wedge will be going in it. Al does some excellent work. This is my second or third order with him and plan to do more in the future.

The mailman delivered my order from Al Raab - Ma's Resin a little while ago. Got the Desert Dog tires and beadlock wheels as well as some clear Aluminite and red dye. Now I can get back to work on the way up in the air Dodge D50 and try casting some translucent red taillights.

Yeah - that's the guy - Ken Hart. Sorry, I couldn't remember his name but always check with him before doing a trade.

Peter - I sent the money for the body and wonder why people don't follow up on their word. Are you going to post the names of the infamous 6? Or maybe gte them to the bad trader post guy so he'll have the info. That way others might not get it stuck to them.

Nice looking build.
