I love these restorations! Where did you get the ladies in ball gowns?

Great progress, Tim!

I can't even get a coat of paint to dry in 24 hours! Also love the wheels- my all time favorite hotrod wheels!

Best polished plastic I have ever seen! Usually metallic plastic is full of swirls from the injection, but I don't see a one! beautiful model overall!

Great garage! Can't wait to see more! Builds are off to a good start, too!

Love this diorama! How about some update photos with your additions?

Nice selection of micro-people and critters! Is this the first symptom of a diorama coming on?

How about a red cab and stainless steel bed? Great looking project so far!

Al, the body is a junker AMT body, the flathead is Revell from the 37 Ford pickup- the chassis is from a Revell 32 roadster, and much else is from my parts box- I think the wheels were from AMT's 34 Ford coupe, the tires are from the Revell 29 Ford pickup ratrod.

Just discovered this thread, and discovered Acegarageguy's reference to my 29 A-V8. At this point it would need a five point racing harness, a helmet, maybe a fire extinguisher. Photographed on real beach sand from Assateague, VA.

Really good looking custom! The split front bumpers are choice!

OOOH! Me likey!

Sinister, kool, and probably fast! Good job!

This project just keeps getting better and better! The boat looks fantastic, and I too can't wait for the trailer!

I have had a set of Trimaster hinges for years- never has the courage to use them- maybe now I'll try then- your bending system is brilliant! Looking forward to more construction, and of course the finished model!

Super work! Looks like you used a Monogram grille.

Superb! Magnificent! Love in particular the cantilevered seats! This one will be providing me with ideas for years to come!

Well, the Easy-off bath removed most of the paint, and also loosed some parts- the rear cowl and windscreen will have to reinstalled with better support, and the grille surround pretty much came apart so will have to be rebuilt. The engine with the exhaust sorted out fits well in the chassis. The interior is coming along- the bar in the back with auxiliary gauge panel are looking good- inspired by the Burk's Law Rolls with the bar in the back! Once the body dries out I will remove the last of the paint, do some rebuilding, and then some putty work- a chance to do things better!

Still working on it, had a paint snafu so into the Easy-off- hope it won't eat all the putty work! Went to a black primer because the red didn't work out, but the paint didn't like this stuff (Rustoleum). Got the exhaust sorted out, also working on the interior.

Superb model- and the inspiration had 12" thick doors, so yours are right on the money!

Love the 4 carb flathead manifold, and those carbs are awesome!

Dennis, somewhere in under glass are more pix- don't want to hijack this thread!

Looks like maybe a Willys interior- but I like the bench seat better than the buckets.

Looking good so far- I will continue following.

Carb linkages, shifter linkages, banjo steering wheels, all the fiddly bits that seniors like me have more and more difficulty with!
