Thanks guys for the nice words. James- Yes, I'm going to try. I'm sure it will be a great source of frustration for me, but I am going to break out my airbrush and give it a try. I may get some putty on it tonight. Later-

Yes, where did you get the hood?? Later-

I've got photos of the top chop for your inspection. I had to wedge cut the top in the front and rear to get the pillars to line up. I think it has the right look and now I have to putty in all of the cuts. Later-

Well, I got the hard part of the top chop done tonight and just need to clean it up and start the sanding on it. I'm off to bed now and will start the clean up during lunch tomorrow and post a couple of photos then. It is pretty ugly right now. Stay tuned. Later-

Love those meats on the rear.It's looking great. Later-

Fantastic detail work and a beautiful paint job! Job well done. Later-

Great looking build. Love the details you are putting into it. I'd say that you are a bit masochistic! It made me just cringe looking at the photos and thinking that you are using a double edged razor blade to cut with. Last time I used one of those in that manner I almost needed stitches before I was done. Let's just say there was a lot of blood to clean up. Later-

I'd love to find one of those Cadillacs. Love the looks of it. How is the kit, quality wise? Later-

I like the guy at about 0:45 who backs up and hangs a left after hitting the bridge. "Who? Me? I didn't hit a bridge. I wasn't even near that bridge. Oh, that? Naw, this is one of those new box vans with a rollback roof for hauling giraffes. Picked it up at the dealer today." Later-

Thanks. I may look into it. I think that because it is of a specific car, and from the 90's it might not be as desirable. I do know I have always liked most of Zocchi's builds. Anywho-- I remember seeing a post not long ago about Moebius doing a 56 Windsor soon. Not sure about that. Later-

I noticed a huge difference this morning when looking at this photo of the 1:1 compared to my build. Notce how much of the white side trim there is between the rear of the door and the kick up on the rear fender. I don't know why I never noticed it before. It appears that Zocchi had the rear fender area extended forward. The magazine article that I am using for reference doesn't mention that. I never thought to compare the kit with the 1:1 in that area because the magazine article gives quite a list of other mods that were done. http://images15.fotki.com/v230/photos/2/223020/4399755/PC200025-vi.jpg Oh well. I wasn't planning on an exact replica with this build. I just wanted to see if I could do it and what it would look like in 1/25. Good enough for me. As you can see I have begun the top chop. Now comes the exciting mods for me. More later. Later-

Doobie Thanks for the kind words. No. I don't have any plans to cast it. Later-

Got a bit more progress made recently and I'll try and post photos tomorrow. I got the side trim glued on and a bit more work done on the bottom of the rear fenders/ bumper area. That area is proving to be a real pain getting it to look like the 1:1. The picture posted on about page two of the rear of the car is going to prove very helpful. After the work I did tonight I looked at that photo and see that I did not get it right. Back to the drawing board. I did start on the top chop tonight and will try to get progress made on it tomorrow during lunch. The door panels are just about complete and ready for primer. Check back tomorrow evening for progress photos. Later-

Very nice looking. Great work on this and your Cheetah. I was just reading about the Flip Top Cobra yesterday and thinking about a 1/25 build of one. Later-

Great work on the 41 and I love the color. I'll have to keep in mind the idea to use the 37 sedan frame when I build mine. What sort if mods did you have to do to get the frame to work? I too would love to see more photos of your pickup. Later-

Beautiful work on the paint for the first time. I like the color very much. Later-

Nice little build. I like the custom touches. I just picked up a couple of rebuilders from Cobra98 on here. Planning a modern update for one and something similar to what you have done for the other. Again, nice job and thanks for the ideas. Later-

Love the interior. That dash is one of my favorites for a custom car. Just has a beautiful look with the right amount of chrome and paint detail. What tires and wheels are those? I need a set for my 51 Chevy build. Later-

Quote- I can't go to a coffee shop and find anybody willing to talk "model". Erik- Just call me and we can meet up and talk "model" anytime. lol. I'm only 20 minutes away. Later-

Great looking GP. Everything on it is spot on. Do you remember what the name of the Fujimi wheels are? They are perfect on it. Later-

I like the looks of that(although I'm not sure about the wood bed sides). You have a lot of good ideas there and I can't wait to see how it turns out. Later-

Those are some NICE colors. What color did you use for both the body and interior? It's nice to see one without black interior. Later-

Thanks for the reply. Definitely a cool racer. Later-

Rod Beautiful job on this build. Excellent details. What color and brand of paint is that on the body? Later-

Cool build. I like it. What year would that have been? Late 60's? Later-
