Nice detail and great additions to overcome the kits shortcomings. It's an ACE in my book. Welcome to "Under Glass" Bob

I had fun today. Nice to meet you Marcos. Now I have a face to place with the name. See ya next month. Bob

A wonderful effort Peter. I hope my Camaro comes out even close. Bob

Killer build Wayne. I applaude the lengthening of the hood area. It looks spot on and seamless. I wish I had the gumption to try something like that. Me Likey. Bob

DaveZinn, your mailbox is full. You heading to the MAMA meeting Sat? I need to know buddy Bob

Aaaaaahhhh, looking good Charles. I cannot wait to see the body decaled. The Slixx decals are just so easy to work with. It should be flawless. Finish it. Bob

There is something Sinister about that car. Nice Build. Bob

Good looking WIP Caine, keep it up buddy. Bob

I'm in for the duration Wayne.... Great start BTW. Bob

Sometimes it's better the second time around..... Case in point... Very nice indeed. Bob

Perfect paint and build. Nice to see your stuff here. Bob

Superb! How bout a few engine bay shots? I need to build one of these. Bob

Thanks George, but it's buried under clear now. The SS could be a smidge higher as well, but no worries. I have the Motion badges for the fenders and the rear. I'll smack em on there and it'll look cool. Thanks Bob

That is completely outta hand Dave. In a good way. I gotta hand to all you guys and those real flame jobs. They are sweet looking. I cannot wait to see it complete. Bob

Here are a few pix from last night work. I did a lot on the motor and other stuff, but I did finish the suspension and wheels so I threw it up on them. I also finished the rear and I have to hand it to AMT. They really made it easy to make it convincing. I'm gonna bite the bullet and paint the lettering on the rear wheels. I painted the redlines on the front and it looks pretty cool. I was not in the mood to foil last night so I put it off for another day. That's nice about having your own agenda and schedule. This kit is exceeding my expectations on all fronts Lots of work currently being performed on the motor so that's on the way shortly. Comments welcomed. Bob

I want one!!!!!!!! Moparfan, you have excellent taste. Giger isn't for everyone that's for sure. But these cars would make a nice introduction to his work. The Kandy cut the brightness of the masked areas a bit and it really works nicely. Bob

That is one of the coolest models I have ever seen, ANYWHERE! Very inventive. Sorta like 'I wish I'd thought of that". Very nice detail as well. Carazzzy. Bob

Cranky, do you see a shrink regular like? MAN, that is some twisted stuff!!!!! I'm a HUGE Giger fan [Have an original coffee table version of Necronomicon in my collection]. His designs are erotic, sublime, mechanical, disgusting, and always outright shocking. Without going overboard, you have captured some of what H.R. Giger is all about. Crazy skills. Bob

Marcos, you and Ron are building some tight little Hurst Olds there. I hope it's done for the March MAMA meeting so you'll bring it. Bob

Outstanding Ron..... I want to see this in person. Make certain you bring it to the next MAMA meeting. I'm sure I'll be there. Bob

Totally nutty! Have no fears though. In the US, we had plenty of "Parts Catalog" cars running around. Can you say JC Whitney? Looks great, especially the seat treatment. Well done. Bob

Very well done. I'm loving this build. Your scratchbuilding style is clever. This is gonna be a BAD GT500. I'm/we're watching........... Bob

Yep, I'll be foiling the top of the doors. I have to foil in sessions. I cannot do it all at once or I'd go bananas. I plan on another finishing session tonight. I have to foil the marker lights as well as the headlight buckets and front running lights. That's a LOT of foiling! I'll be adding a drop of yellow to the front running light buckets before I put the lens on as well. My reference pix show it as a clear leans with an amber bulb. Right now I'm tackling the dash and side panel painting. Lots of silver trim on those. It's coming along nicely and the motor is drilled for plug boots and the dist is ready. The taillight lenses get chrome trim and the center section chrome as well. I have a PE carb kit that I'll be using for the linkages and throttle. Pray I don't go blind! LOL Bob

Thanks for the attaboys guys. John Bowers, very nice car there. I did a little foiling, but it still needs more. I made progress on the chassis but I'll post pix when it's mostly together. The big block is coming together and I'm stripping the headers and sidepipes for flat black. I really like this kit but the sidepipes have 2 injector pin marks right out in the open on the tops of both of them. Probably my only quibble about it really. More to come. Bob

That is killer. It almost looks like it has more detail than you say. It tricks the eye. Very nice. Bob
