Thanks for checking it out, my friends. Uschi is a great model builder so the products he is putting out are just as outstanding.

Did I already mention I have fallen in love again with Revell's 40 Ford? :wub: :wub:

Pure eye candy, thanks for sharing with us, Ken. Nice collection indeed.

Digging it through and through, keep it going.

You got my attention. This this is going to look fantastic over that great frame.

Ira, this build is a-rockin'. You must be drooling over it and what color you will paint it in.

Looks like you are off to a good start.

I had a tough time two years ago when my oldest daughter started in college, and I got very depressed, but now that my youngest is starting school (just this weekend we are dropping her off) I feel like things are going to turn out all right. She's going to a very good school, but it really is stuff to now live in the house without those little voices, the patter of little feet, etc . . . I just wonder how many of us middle aged folks are going through these types of moments (and emotions). Sometimes I feel like I can't get used to it. It's a big moment in my life because now it's a constant reminder that I've gotten old (getting older) and you know that's always not as much fun. I don't mind the clock ticking as long as it isn't ticking for me. LOL. Thank heavens for building models for it allows me to focus the mind on building something and deriving lts of pleasure out of it. Thanks for lending me your ears.

My favorite is 2, and this goes to show that when a good kit gets under the builder's skin, it's a sweet ride. It happened to me last year with the 55 Belaire and the Shelby Cobra. Thank you for all the great inspiration, folks.

Wow, Chris, this is another outstanding build. Thank you. I copied all the pictures for the next UPDATE video. Keep up the great work. Stay tuned in for more wonderful builds, folks. We are almost over the mountain top and into the valley. Cheers, Gen. EYEGORE.

I love this! Thanks for sharing.

OUTSTANDING. Thanks for the detail picture of the frame.

Boy, thanks everyone, these are some great looking 40 Fords. I am making very slow progress, but there will be more by tomorrow. If you have more reference pictures, please post them, I find them very inspirational. And I still open for great ideas.

Thanks, everyone for all the wonderful contributions to the idea bank. This one is churning in my head nicely. Stay tuned in for more . . .

Zeroed in on the perfect name for this one: LA RATA AZTECA. Oh yes, I can see some silver and gold on there . . . Now, I have to find just the right color turquoise.

You are making some nice progress. Keep it going.

Very smooth and beautiful. Looking forward to seeing this one in paint.

Neal, that's a great and fantastic model. Great job. Totally different and very cool. I copied the pictures for the next update video. Thanks.

LOL, when I searched on google for AZTEC WARRIOR, this one popped up:

Oh my, I like this color . . .

THE AZTEC QUEEN, that's even better.

THE AZTEC RAT!

A little bird just sent me a text message saying to go with PASTEL TURQUOISE for the body and wheels, and chrome caps only. I like that idea.

This is super cool too: Yes, yes, yes:
