Wow. That is beyond stunning.

This is so fun to watch come together. Great work! (I made that stirring mistake too, but with simpler linkage. Someone else caught it from a picture I posted.)

That is impressive! Nice work, Zack!

This is a cool project. I'm in.

One more thing. I hope you don't mind. Please consider adding a slight arc to this vertical drop. The rest of the side of the car has arcs and curves at the fenderwells. Keep up the GREAT work!

First time I saw this thread. Love what you are doing. Small changes for big impact. I'll be watching.

So impresive! I'm enjoying every update.

I wish the best for you and your family, Chris. For what it's worth the interview is a great watch. I'm glad you did it. Scott

I really like this. Defiantly an upgrade to the original. Great concept.

The image is flopped. The steering wheel is on the right. See the M on the front lip of the hood? It's a Mercury.

Glad to see you are back on this one. I've always liked the concept.

I had that one in my Fotki favorites folder, Russell. I am huge fan of Dalefoursixty's builds on this forum. So it went in the new magazine's website gallery. FYI - The Auto Modeler Magazine publishes on the months in-between the months that Model Cars publishes. Not competition - a model magazine every month. Scott

We jut got a new Michaels right down the road. I went in to check out the model section. Here it is...

On the streets of Tokyo At a local hangout. It runs every night. Little green guy is waiting for the crosswalk light This is not Kevin karting on the streets. He took the PIC. Behind Mooneyes Yokohama

Excellent scratchbuilding! I like watching this project come together.

Excellent work, Mark. I wanted to see how you placed the rear wheels in the fenderwells. They look great. The stance is dead on, as it the rest of the car. Scott

Well done, Mark. You nailed it!

Just got to see this one in person. John's Illusion took best of show at the GNRS model contest as it should have. An amazing reproduction of a beautiful car. Well done, John!

Had to pull my EV into a liquid energy dispensary to get a PIC of this really nice mustang. The guy driving it said he got it for his son to drive to high school and had it built in AZ. He would not adopt me, but he was a really nice guy.

Went to the Zimmerman Driving Museum in SoCal on Saturday. It's a great smaller museum that allows you to open the doors of the cars. Sundays, they give rides. We ended up taking to a docent who gave us an extra tour behind the glass wall. It was really fun hearing what it was like to drive a 20's Packard Limo. In the gift shop they had only one model car on the shelf. The price was right, so I bought it.

Wow, Mark. What a treat to see you do this one. I'm looking forward to watching you make a jewel out of what I consider to be a pretty rough kit. Scott

Childhood memory right there. Thanks for posting it. I still have parts from the one I built.

I have to say that Chris is are great guy and super talented builder. It was a pleasure to spend time with him learning about his excellent recreation of the Army Vega.

The breaker on the pool has been tripping for a while now. We even had a newer one put in because of a code issue discussed in another post. Well, we had a good downpour a couple of days ago and the breaker tripped. I could not get it back. Great. I called the electrician and the can out today (12/24!) the guy knocked on the back door and said he found the problem. There is some wet wiring. Hmm? Then he pointed to the open heater unit. Yikes! The entire thing was a rats nest. I cleaned it out and the guy replaced some of the wire nuts. Then I gave it a good round with the leaf blower. I got lucky. No chewed wires and nothing shorted out. The bill was 80 bucks. But - The fitting on the salt cell was badly cracked and pouring out water. So one more round of repair needed.
