  1. I think your painting and detailing are great- looking forward to them being finished- what engine in the Merc?
  2. I think the interior texture looks great- like a wool or mohair interior. If it happens again on a future project, try a little dry brushing for a tweed effect.
  3. What is an undamaged one going for? Don't need box, paperwork, etc.
  4. Great start- love the color choices- have you tried Molotow pens?
  5. Beautiful rod, beautiful build!
  6. Was this car driven by Tazio Nuvolari?
  7. That ought to be done full size! Excellent work and innovation!
  8. First of all, ditto for the praise and awe! Second, what holds it together? Magic? Superglue? Tab A into slot B? Thanks for sharing!
  9. Great so far, keep the pix coming. Love your color choice- just right for the forties.
  10. See if small brass rod for the for the bottom door opening would mess up the fit. Maybe just a thin strip of plastic would work. Fiddle about and have fun!
  11. Go for it- open up the passenger door too! I’m guessing you want to build it as stock as possible- guess you won’t be using the louvered trunk lid! Have fun and hack that plastic.
  12. Salvage is a wonderful thing- not good enough to preserve, not bad enough to scrap- go for whatever takes your fancy!
  13. Really like your fire wall and under trunk detail- also your interior side panels.
  14. Looks like real rust- too many T.R.O.G. runs at the beach without a hose down!
  15. Anything is better than billet- you have nailed the 50’s driver look.
  16. What a great score! Whoever built them was a real craftsman- the body work is excellent. Personally, I hope you keep some as is. Thanks much for sharing!
  17. Totally believable- your craftsmanship equals your imagination. Just needs some salt on the tires! This would be a good candidate for the real or model section!
  18. Looks like it’s ready for a T.R.O.G. run- got sand?
  19. This is a great build of a great car- I like the Monogram kit because the grill is more true- the AMT kit doesn’t have the proper tuck under. I think the chopped top was inspired by the AMT kit.
  20. I would drive that!
  21. Time to get this back up top- imagine all these full size at one big show! I posted progress on my track nose but here's a pic for this thread.
  22. Here's some pix: they are hard to see, but the shifter is a crank shaft and the beverage holders are piston rods. WAAAAAY too much fun!
