Happy Thanksgiving! Here's the completed engine and the beginning of the chassis and dual exhaust.

Love the detailing, especially the exhaust heat discoloration! Well done!

Sweet!

Nice build and weathering, looking forward to more!

Pix of the engine almost complete- just need to fabricate the inlets from the superchargers to the carb inlets. Also preliminary fab of the rear grille.

Kevin, thanks for the pic- great detail! Will post more when I get more done!

Beautiful custom! Also a fan of the white top- makes the gorgeous paint really pop!

Looks a bit better than up close- a little sanding and filling should have it ready to go!

Decided to dig out a never started project from the stash. Shortly after the reissue of the AMT 1953 Studebaker I picked up this resin casting of the 1962 GT Hawk. Wil need quite a bit of work, including fabricating a rear grille. Using an Avanti engine with the twin Paxton supercharger option. Found some nice whitewall tires at the C.A.R.B.S. meet. Thinking about a dark red, but that may change.

Thank you for sharing!

Great show! Did have a problem with my wife's phone, so no pix. Could anyone share?

Models are packed, alarm is set, gas tank is full, and "I'm in Love with my Car" in the CD. Ready to roll.

Bill, I will see what I can do.

Thanks, all- updated the tires and detailed the engine, added an improved supercharger and some front suspension- otherwise box stock. Paint is more blue-green than the photos show- I call it Caribbean Sea. First outing to be at the C.A.R.B.S. fall fest.

Renwal Revivals Bugatti T101-CX commissioned by Virgil Exner, body built by Ghia, and was the other revival actually built, the other being the Mercer Cobra. The chassis was a T101, using a T57C engine.

Beautifully done hot rod!

Seriously good rat rod! Or, if you prefer, seriously good old school hot rod!

Now old prescription bottles superglued together hold the tools. My Dad's watchmaker's bench. Used to have a lot more on the floor, between actually getting them built and trading a few, the floor is now able to be walked on..................................

Yup! Look for the bearded guy in denim...................

Good one last year, great breakfast, definitely going this year!

Looking tasty!

Garry, that is indeed a sectioned 32 grille and surround- the initial idea that started this project. And of course a hot rod grille needed a hot rod engine!

Finally done.

Well done! Love the trees!

Alan, that is a great save on two rare models! Very ambitious work, with great results!
