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-

Man, so realistic you can almost smell the dampness and rot. Looks fantastic. Later-

That's cool. This is the first one I've seen in years. I like the look. Later-

It seems I remember my Agri teacher in high school had a standard cab dually Chevy. It just looks odd in this era of mega, quad, super, extended cab trucks now days. I think I will build it, but I'd like to find a similar year pickup kit. Really don't want to go the resin or die cast route. Not that there is anything wrong with them. Just more comfortable with a kit. Later-

Got this in the mail today in a trade with Daniel Holt. He also sent the MCG photo etch for it. Thanks Daniel. Now to get at least two more. Later-

I saw this yesterday and wondered if this would have been a special order. I don't recall ever seeing a standard cab dually. I may have before extended cabs and crew cabs became the norm, but it would have been years ago. Anybody know if it would have been a S. O.? Now I want to build one. Later-

I spent most of the day at the dining room table with a buddy of mine working on our models, listening to music and shooting the breeze. I didn't get much done, but had a great time. I got the front bottom corners of the doors rounded and the rear bumper pieced together like I want it. I have to get the bottoms of the rear fenders dialed in and make some taillights now. I also did some more sanding on the bottom rolled edge around the entire car and made some trim extensions in my molds out of pieces of sprue melted in liquid cement. The ones I had made out of 5 min. epoxy broke into little pieces. I also spent a bit of time working on project #2. My buddy got the doors and trunk cut out and sanded and the interior laid out for his 69 GTX. Thanks for looking. Later-

I do like the black stripe as opposed to the grey. More of a contrast. Looking great. Nice engine work. Later-

Small, yes. What are they????? Later-

Looking good. I have always liked the Fujimi and Aoshima selections too. Unfortunately I don't have many of those types of kits. Keep it up. Later-

Don't forget the Ford T Bolt kit has a seperate manual 4 speed and auto tranny. Later-

If it were me I would get some sheet plastic and make the shape you want from the Challenger (??) hood on the El Camino hood. It wouldn't be difficult to mimic that design in sheet plastic. Then you won't ruin the Challenger hood. Later-
