Mr. Metallic

Man, that's really going to pop once you polish it. You're in the home stretch, can't wait to see it done.

Cool concept. I especially like the clear tonneu cover. Nice build

This is a real beauty Steve. It's subtle, but really grabs the eye. A great companion to this other one off your bench, which is one of my favorite builds of all time. They're just sooooo right

Marcos, this is a real beauty. But I've come to always expect that from your bench. Thanks for sharing

Nice to see a build from your bench Matt. Keep them coming, this one is stunning

One of the best Little T clones I've ever seen. Very well done. Rear cheaters, did you make them or are they aftermarket? They really sell the overall look

Love the picture frame idea, great presentation of a unique vehicle. I've always loved that vehicle since the first time I saw the movie. Just too cool.

I really like this, very clean build. I like the air cleaner, also really love the realistic looking roof insert. Great stance too.

That came out really nice. Hopefully when it's done you can get some outside shots in the sun because I love the paint color as seen in your build thread. I've has a similar "stock suspension" 37 coupe on my brain for awhile using an old Tims Resin Rods chopped body. Now, thanks to your build thread, I have ideas on how to achieve that traditional suspension setup. Clean build, well done!

I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned this, and the tooling already exists as separate parts from the original kit they came in... The big and little wide whites from the new tool AlaKart!!! I know saying new tool AlaKart around the hobby is likely to get you kicked in the shins, but the tires in that kit are excellent. And the tooling for those parts is separate from the rest of the tool. How do I know? Well, obviously the tires themselves are because they're vinyl, but the whitewall inserts are separate because they came in white plastic while the rest of the tool was grey. So please, Round2, dig these out! Easy money!

I have a builtup of the Firebird, missing one of the rear glass "wing". Anyone have one? Was thinking about bashing the body together with a 70 1/2 Camaro

Putting the Matranga front end on the 40 convertible body seems to have worked out pretty well. Please keep going!

Wow, that paint is gorgeous. Love the reflection of the wheel on the door panel. I think Revell did the roof separate due to molding issues. Monogram had to do the same thing on their 30 coupe 50+ years ago. Someone more knowledgeable will be able to confirm.

All that new stuff looks great, but those nuts and bolts are almost a must have. Have to start saving my pennies.

Pretty sure the seats are from the AMT 56 Ford. This is awesome. Can't wait to see more. your builds are always so much fun to watch

I think we're well beyond that thought process from Round2 with regards to their Parts Pack program. It's been going strong for several years now, so I don't believe one "mistake"(which I don't think this one is anyway) will cause them to fold the project. If it wasn't doing well they wouldn't keep making new additions, and even spending some new tooling dollars on them. Now, if they would just issue the new tool Ala-Kart big and little tires as a parts pack my dreams would be fulfilled.

This was one of the heavily optioned early Monogram kits, akin to the 36 Ford and 30 Model A kits. Lots of building options packed in a flat box. I scored one of these at a toy show a few years ago, but traded it last year. I will probably continue to regret it because I always intended to build it, it's such a cool kit

Yeah, and the roof opening has been fixed to stock appearance. They also offer a more heavily chopped version than the kit piece

That sedan is looking really good

Hey, look what wheels showed up on the 2018 AMBR winner

I started this kit as a quick build challenge last year, but ran into paint issues on the body due to mold release(my fault, didn't wash the body) so I stripped the paint and threw it back in the box. Coincidently enough the same color. I'll be following along on yours for assembly tips, you've helped already with the tip on installing the floor supports into the body before paint. I agree, the instructions are vague on many assemblies.

When the guys from K+R share anything you have my attention, but especially with a 32 Ford. You're off to a great start.

I wasn't sure if it was going to all work out when I saw the beginning pics, but it turned out really nice. Your bodywork skills are top notch

Yeah, cool stuff to be sure. Even what's just on the desk, not to mention the shelves. A reissue of the 28 Woody/pickup with faux-retro boxart would be cool(maybe with the Hot Curl included???). The mail truck would be cool, even just for parts, and the Orange Blossom is one a lot of people have been asking for. Some people complain about Round2's focus on reissues, but I love them, and I'm glad they keep digging further into the vault.

Wow, I learned something new today. Thanks Casey
