The stance is spot on for a shoebox Ford. I think some detatchable skirts (or Spats as they where once known as) that sat in the wheel well would smooth out the lines of the car a lot.

The headlights are just the stock ones molded in. The Chrome in this particular kit was atrocious, so i stripped all of it. Here are some pics of where i got to when i boxed it. Sectioned body, was trying to fit `66 Mustang fast back roof, but just could not get it right. So i put it away for another day. The rear is early `90s Mercedes, ###### what was i thinking .

Interesting looking piece of gear you got to play with, and the model looks good. As for your thinking for another variant, something along these lines Was taken at a model show 2 years ago.

Here it is Maybe i should finish this.

Off to a good start Bernard, i like the front treatment you have made for this. I did something similar about 15 years ago om a build that i never finished. I shortened and trimmed the grille bar to fit inside the custom opening, if i can find the bits i`ll take a pic too show you.

I`m liking how this is going, i want to know about the hood as well.

Nice build of a classic. Well done.

There must be more pics of this masterpiece, please.

Sorry to hear this Kevin, it`s not a nice feeling. About 15 years ago when i had a side car on my bike, i cleaned up a young cat on my way home from work. I picked up the cat (she was dead straight away) and looked in the yard it came from. Saw a heap of toys and placed the cat in the side car out of sight. I knocked on the door and described the cat quietly too her, turns out it was her daughters cat. She placed the body in the boot of her car so the child would not see it. Don`t know how she dealt with the issue, glad i did not have too. We have 3 cats here, a grumpy 10 year old and 2 psychotic 2 year olds. Never a dull moment here.

Al, this looks great and is a cool idea. I had the same idea about 5 years ago But that is as far as i got. Mine is the remains of a late `70s build/glue bomb. I used a modified Chevy Blazer chassis.

Cool truck Kevin.

###### Ray, that certainly is pink .

Cool, the steelies are a nice touch.

What an incredible master piece, i could stare at these pics for hours just trying to take in all the details. There are not enough superlatives to describe this build.

My ride, everyday transport for last 20 years, never had a car license. `72 Suzuki GT750, i`m the second owner. Clocked over 400,000 kms last year. Most recent pick About 2 years after i bought it On one of its many trips Finishing of an illegal tyre Linda`s `93 Fairlane (Ford Australia)

What a cool idea, and done well. Looks great.

Now that looks like some insane fun .

Sweet build, love that motor.

Looks good to me, well done.

Part 2.

My best year for awhile.

Very nice build of one of Ferrari`s more elegant designs, especially in this scale. Top job.

Interesting concept and well executed. That flat 8 looks like a mechanics nightmare . Well done.

Raul, it is 1/20th scale. From memory the 1/12th was the RA273, which was a 3 litre V12 from `66. The RA272 is a 1.5 litre V12, raced in `65.

Finished this a couple days ago. Tamiya kit, built OOB. More pics here http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n197/st...F1/Honda_RA272/
