    Wow, that is looking super cool.

    Derrick, you know your kits well. Yes sir, I could not believe what a perfect fit this thing is once you cut it . . . THANK YOU!
  3. Dr. Cranky
    Remember the best way to rust is to look at reference pictures of real subject matter and note where the rust is most prevalent. It is clear you are having a great time.
  4. Dr. Cranky
    Great job.
  5. Dr. Cranky
    Ryan, nice work. I love the chipping around posts. Great work. Of course, I think this kind of build can (and is) addictive. LONG LIVE RUST!
  6. Dr. Cranky
    Beautiful! It's turning out great.
  7. Dr. Cranky
    JIM is right! Once you build that 49 Merc you will be a STYRENE ADDICT for which there is no cure, for which there is no turning back. Look what it's done to me!

    Eyeball VS eyeball:

    Can anyone guess where the grill is from? I still have to add a couple of more wires out of those carb stacks . . . I think the mud is going to bring the whole build together!
  10. Dr. Cranky
    The chassis, the interior, and the body are not glue together and won't be. I like to take things apart and look at them . . . LOL. But some of these shots show the body sitting a bit forward, but trust me it sits just right . . . .
  11. Dr. Cranky
    All right, the body is done sans the mud . . . I added a few interesting decals just to spice it up . . . Here's a mud-level perspective shot. LOL!
  12. Dr. Cranky
    Good looking tires. Keep it going, Ira.
  13. Dr. Cranky
    Thanks, Mike. There will be more progress very soon.
  14. Dr. Cranky
    Well, we'll see how the mudding goes. I got the body finished less the mud, so stay tuned in, and happy THANKSGIVING to everyone!
  15. Dr. Cranky
    LOL, okay, maybe just a little more than a little. :lol:

    Folks, I started a thread over in the 1:1 Reference Picture section in hopes that everyone can post ideas and eye candy of ways we can build this kit. Enjoy the sights and contribute. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66771

    Jacen, it's going to have a little bit of mud, I am trying to keep it subtle. I hope. I think.
  18. Dr. Cranky
    I know, I keep drooling over it, it'd be great to slam one of these beauties in scale. Oh yes.
  19. Dr. Cranky
    Thank you, either way you build this kit, the 50 Chevy, you win. It's such a marvelous kit.
  20. Dr. Cranky
    Now that I've had a few hours to study this kit all I can say I am very excited about the prospects in terms of the versatility of this kit. I can already see a gasser, a couple of stock builds, one shiny, one rusty . . . and perhaps a conversion. Something unexpected with big meats in the back.
  21. Dr. Cranky
    Oh, Greg, that's a great idea . . . I just have to make some right diameter springs and do the eyeballs . . . THAT would look cool. Thank you.
  22. Dr. Cranky
    LOL, you guys just keep making my day. It's coming, we are foiling next, and then the decals, and then final assembly with a finish of well spattered muds in some of the edges of the rocker panels. Shiny with some mud. Yes, that's what the doctor called for. Stay tuned in.
  23. Dr. Cranky
    Thanks, Bill, now it's been confirmed that this might not be EYEGORE's eyeball but Jim S's. LOL! :lol:
  24. Dr. Cranky
    Here it is double-topless: Unfortunately this is what happened when I showed EYEGORE the progress so far:
