Absolutely OUTSTANDING! One of the best models I’ve seen built from Ed’s 3-Window body!! (I also must say, whoever mastered that body sure nailed the chop! ?)

Had more time today and got the interior assembled except for the pedals because I forgot to paint them. Very happy with the finished look. I’ve gone as far as I can now until the body gets painted. ?

Thanks! I have the decals but I think I’m going to paint the W engine color. Again, when I can remember to bring the can home! ?

Update on my Tudor. Had some time today. Got the frame and a few other parts polished and waxed with Adam’s Correcting Polish and Buttery Wax then assembled the chassis. It’s finished except for a few small details. I want to paint the brake calipers to match the engine but keep forgetting to bring the spray can home. ? Like any good hot rod builder, I couldn’t resist setting the body on the chassis for a look. Speaking of the body, hope to have it in finished paint by next weekend. ?

What’s the source? I have an identical pair I acquired in a care package from a friend and don’t know where they come from.

Nice! I’ve recently enjoyed refurbishing a couple of older builds (Double Dragster set) and looks like you’ve done a fine job. I like the color. Do you remember what it is?

So glad to see this one get finished. Not a thing I would change, you nailed every aspect. Color choices and finishes are perfect. One of my new favorites from your bench! ?

Man does that look good!

PERFECTION! ❤️

Sometimes! ?

Still at it. This afternoon I was able to get the body and related exterior parts primed. One of the things I love about Drag City Casting bodies is that there is literally no paint prep required other than a good wash in plain dish soap. ? Seeing this body in a more visible shade of gray I also can’t help but admire the proportions of the chop. Whoever mastered this body sure did nail it! ?

More work done. Nothing like spending 35 minutes masking the frame and interior to spend a collective 1 minute spraying 2 coats of semi gloss black on the floor areas, LOL! ? Joking aside, thankfully I didn’t screw up! This means I *should* be able to get the frame polished, waxed and the chassis assembled this weekend. ?

Killer F100, beautifully finished and detailed! Love the color scheme and the stance is right-on. ?

Not that I ever doubted you, but, it’s incredible how well this project has come together. Your ability to envision and engineer, not to mention your usual surgical precision, never cease to amaze me. ?

Over here chipping away. Axle and suspension components detail painted and sealed in Tamiya gloss clear. Interior components painted. Colors are Tamiya AS15 Tan and AS16 Light Gray along with more TS88 Titanium Silver like the chassis. Would have assembled, but, I still need to spray the bottom side sating black. I mocked a few things together to get a feel. The supercharged small block is finished. Was undecided on ignition style but landed on a mag from the parts bin and orange plug wires. I think a blower and mag just look right together! Also assembled the radiator, shroud and cap. Down to painting the body and related parts and they will be getting primed in the next couple of days. ?

Silver is definitely a great color on a Coupe but I’ll warn that Tamiya Silver Leaf is REALLY silver. Like 1950’s SciFi spacesuit. I use it with a flat clear to replicate cast aluminum or out of the can to replicate ceramic coat on headers and exhaust. Look at their Mica Silver. It’s a great color. See the example below…

This turned out rad! Love the weathered finish on the body and the contrast of the shiny painted and plated chassis. The Hemi looks great with the row of 2-barrels, factory rocker covers and lake headers. The stance is on-point, as well, with the big rear tires tucked up to the body just right. ?

Rad! Love the fender-less and wire wheel combo. Those larger 34 wires and tires also go well proportionally with the stock height too. Hard to go wrong with TS11 and digging the copper accents. ? Are the fog lights simply the optional smaller headlights from the kit?

Both are nicely built and look great in their respective colors. Good choice to strip and paint the wheels on the roadster. To leave them chrome would have been too much. ?

Man, you nailed the colors and the stance. Small block looks great. Nice work!

I don’t know if there’s a better color on a custom 49-51 Mercury than maroon? What I do know is that this is one of the nicest Revell Mercs I’ve seen yet! Very nice!!! ?

I’ve seen pictures of the 1:1 Tudor and this is a great tribute to it. I especially like and appreciate the rework on the seats and side panels. Nice job!

Thanks! Although, with the heavily chopped top it might be all for nothing! ?

More work on my Tudor. The interior in this kit is pretty plain. Added window crank and door handles from a Revell ‘37 Pickup and armrests sliced off of a pair of Revell ‘40 Ford door panels. Detailed the gauge panel with the kit gauge decals and flowed black paint into the insert background. Added a shifter from Revell’s 29/30 hot rod kits, ebrake handle from a Revell 27 Touring and some AMT seatbelts. With that the interior is ready to paint and I’ll be chipping away during the week. ?

Did a bunch of the fiddly detail painting today of the chassis parts, engine parts and some black washing. After assembling the intake, supercharger, carbs and filters I couldn’t resist a quick engine mock up. Now that the trans is painted aluminum the engine needs a clear coat. Trying to decide if I want to use a distributor or a mag. ?
