Mr. Metallic

Very nice build. It's like it just rolled off the early little pages of Hot Rod. Very cool.

Great stance, very clean build. Interesting color choice, but it works!

Nice build, very cool concept. Well done

Love the chop, love the stance, love the color, but the Nailhead is just sweet! Another great build

Glad to see you back. I've seen your work before so I know we are all in for a treat. The work on the frame is inspiring. Wish we had a good 33/34 kit in 1/25 that hit the mark like the Revell 32. But because we don't, the effort you're putting into this build will be even more appreciated. Your work on the roof and body is surgical and inspiring. Have you given any thought to getting some resin copies made? Please keep us updated. I follow on Facebook, but this place is easier to follow along

Sadly, if R/M was going to bring back the Little T, I think they would have done it already. They just rereleased this kit again, so I doubt they would throw tooling dollars at it again, at least not for a few years. I hope I'm wrong. A few of us were talking at the KKIM meeting over the weekend, and just really wishing R/M would capitalize more on the nostalgia dollars that are available right now in the hobby. they don't have to go all out like Round2, but they could do more, and a lot could be done with a very modest investment. Think about the success they've had dabbling in it so far. Black Widow- sold out first run, had to release another. Blue Bandito- sold out quickly. There's so much in their tooling inventory that would require little to no investment to capitalize on the nostalgia. But this is all just my opinion.

This build is killer. Watching intently for every update. Those decals are really slick, very convincing for a burled maple.

Really digging this build. The nailhead looks great, and the coilovers are a big improvement. Looking forward to what other tricks you have up your sleeve.

Man, this is sweet. Nice to see big pics on my computer rather than the ones on my phone on facebook. I'm intrigued by the chop work, and the necessity for multiple bodies. I'm assuming that is to attain the wedge shape. Can't wait to see it all in one color to get a true feel for the design.

That's a tough looking hot rod. Beautiful paint, and I love your color choices. Great build

Keep getting sucked into checking this thread because I keep hoping there's an update on the situation. Instead the majority of it is just nonsense. I need to start slapping my hand when I think to click on it.

Replicas and Miniatures sells them too.

Clean build of a classic kit. Well done

Apparently Revell is working feverishly to get the molds back into production, they were hoping in the 1st quarter last I heard I would love to see a 28/29 Coupe body. I've thought about doing the conversion myself. Upon first look, and this is in no way scientific, it looks like the 28/29 body is much narrower than the 30/31. So, transplanting a roof from the 30 as a starting point would require quite a bit of surgery. But, I could be wrong. Maybe someone could enlighten us?

Very convincing wear patterns and look of the interior. I really like the overall look.

Very inventive subject, very nicely executed. Well done

How have I missed this build up until now??? Great fabrication and eye for design. I'm following along now!

Smooth kustom. Very nicely executed Love the name too.

Don't get me wrong, the Blackjack car is great. And executed very well. And I can appreciate the unconventional use of parts. I would love to have it in my garage.

The Time Merchant RPU is probably my fave, but just about all of them speak to me. The 2 fat fender customs are works of art. And I actually prefer the Gord Gray built 32 to the Blackjack car. IMHO it has a better stance and profile. But that Hot Rod Lincoln roadster and Muroc Roadster are excellent as well.

Flintstone definitely has a lot of cool and inventive bodies out there. I have bought a lot, and have built a few. Their quality has also improved greatly over the last 6-7 years over what they had in the past One thing to be aware of however, is mold release. Make sure you thoroughly clean, rinse and dry the body. It's common practice for resin casters to use mold release, which isn't a big deal. But the stuff that has been on some of the bodies I've gotten from Flintstone has been very stubborn. Just when I think I've gotten it all, the first coat of primer flakes off. So, just be very thorough with your cleanup process and definitely spray a coat of primer before doing any bodywork so you know that you've removed all that mold release. once that's done your build should be pretty straightforward and pleasant. Here's my most recent build of a Flintstone body

Here's a little more reference on a similar vehicle I found at the Petersen Automotive Museum

Here is a set from replicas and Miniatures of Md specifically for the Meyers Manx kit http://public.fotki.com/crstan/replican-and-miniat/replicas-and-miniat/100-4016.html

Wow. awe inspiring. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.

Tim Boyd did a cool buildup in the magazine a few years ago too.
