Wow! I can't imagine why you had to build up courage to post THAT. You should be very proud of that one. Later-

Concert tickets....or speeding tickets. Very nice job on the weathering and detail. Even has door locks. I put those on my 70 1/2 Camaro also. Later-

sbk- That was merely an accident. I thought that they were just extra resin from the mold. I cut them off before I realized they were supposed to be there. (Kicking myself now) I'll have to make new ones. I'm really thinking strongly about ordering that 49 Caddy front grille and bumper from Modelhaus that you posted to use on my 51 Chevy Fleetline build. Later-

Nice Honda. Great job on it. I have this version of the S800--From Toyota. Waiting to be built....... As small as it is and it is even 1/24 scale. Quite a tiny car. Later-

Richard- Looking great so far.I like the colors and the contrast in the wood. Can't wait to see the wood go on. I'll be watching. Later-

As promised I have some photos to share. I received my 50 Caddy rear bumper. What a nice piece. I began cutting some of the width out of it and I had to grind out some of the back of it to get it to tuck up to the body. This is where it sits now. I haven't gotten back to finishing it. So, after sanding down the second coat of putty and a quick coat of primer I got to work on the side trim. I added a small strip of styrene to extend the bottom piece of trim with the idea of making the trim to replicate the molded in trim. Then I came to my senses and I think I will be making a mold of the lower trim from a second body to replicate this. I think it will be the easier way to go. So I will be removing that small strip of styrene near the taillight. Next I took a strip of .020 X .020 and glued it in place for the upper trim piece. Now to get the driver's side to match. That is all I got done on my breaks last night. At least I'm making forward progress. Once I get the trim on I think I will be finishing the door panels OR chopping the top. Stay tuned. Later-

I just got home from work and thought that I'd type out a quick post. I got a start on my side trim tonight at work. I had sprayed a quick coat of primer on the rear fins before work so I could check the look of them. They turned out pretty nice with only a couple of pinholes to fill and a couple spots of putty to sand down. I'll post some pics tomorrow (today actually) when I wake up. Later-

I found a recent problem with posting pics from Photobucket using my phone. I have been taking photos with my phone, uploading them to PB and then loading them on my postings here. However, now that I uploaded the new version of Firefox I can't upload photos the same way. I used to go to PB and copy the IMG link, return to my posting and click on the reply box and a little blue box would appear to paste my photo. That box doesn't come up any more. Now how do I post photos?? Later-

Erik- Thanks for the link. Didn't Portland host an NNL? I didn't see it on the list. What was the show they had a year or so ago that guys built the Jairus Watson sketches for? Later-

Can anyone give me the dates and contact info for the next Portland NNL? Later-

Nice job! Is that Ford Grabber Green on a Chevy? Later-

Simply stunning work. I really admire your level of talent and I try hard to customize to your standard. Keep up the great work and sharing it with all of us. I'll have to order that grille and bumper from Modelhaus. I can't wait for my 50 Caddy rear bumper to arrive from Don. Later-

Olschool- Sent you a post to an explanation I gave someone else. Hope it helps. Later-

I like the looks of this and I think the changes you made are great. I only have one suggestion. Take some more photos of it with a white paper base and background. It may help show some of the details better, making it easier to see. Later-

I like this one very much. The color, wheels and decals are great. Nice job. Later-

Only stage 1. More putty work tonight. Later-

Got the suspension dialed in. Here's how it looks. Lovely phone photos, but you get the point. Later-

Wow! Thanks for all of the wonderful encouragement guys. I agree with you, Albie. I really like his ideas and I've always wanted to build this car. I'm glad I have the chance to now. I am working on lowering the front suspension and getting the rear suspension dialed in. I'm also going to do a bit more putty work on the body. Right now it's time for a quick nap in the recliner while the suspension dries. Check back later for photos. Later-

A few of mine. 50 Ford Sedan 67 GTX Street Freak (this one is farther along now) 60 Starliner 62 Impala wagon Just a few. Later-

Wow! That top chop and lowering has given this just the perfect look. Nice, low and long. Cool! Later-

Great job and nice color choice. I wonderful addition to the model shelf, for sure. Later-

Bruce- Great stance and color. Nice job on making this a hardtop. Later-

Looks like you did a great job. I love that kit. Later-

Gotta get one of those Fiats. Got a link to the site to order? Later-

Can that really be considered work then???? That's alright. I'm taking my kit in to work on it during lunch. Later-
