Wow! What a beautiful color. Is that over a gray primer? it's gonna look good. Later-

That looks good. Two questions? Does it have a "Necker Knob" on the steering wheel and where did you get the wheel covers? Later-

Well, it may be in the wrong section but I like it. How did you ever come up with a combo like that? I can't wait to see more. Later-

That HAS to be the best job I've ever seen done on that kit. The paint is so slick and I like those graphics. Later-

That does look like some nice work. Where did you get the wheels and tires? I'll keep an eye on the progress of this one. I always like your paint jobs. I expect this one will be just as nice. Later-

Thanks for the reply. I've got some Tamiya Fine and Finish polish that I'm going to try. I'll probably end up using all of both tubes since it's that HUGE 1/8 scale. Those wheels look really good on 60's Fords too, like the 65-67 Galaxies. Later-

Brett- Nice build so far. Beautiful paint work and, you're right, this is quite a forgotten kit. I really liked it when it csme out but never got one. You don't see it built very often. Looking good. Later-

Nice job, Peter. Much better than the box art. I like the decal in the rear window and the interior shot. Later-

That Chevy is looking great. What did you use to polish the body? I am rebuilding a 1/8 32 Ford roadster that my cousin built years ago. Doing it for him. I will have to polish the body too instead of painting. Are you interested in trading off those wheels and tires from your 57 kit? I'd like to get a set of them. Later-

John- This is going to look cool. I love the turbo plumbing so far. Good to see that you are going with the 29. Any parts that you are still looking for? Later-

That's looking beautiful so far. I like the wheel skirt and side trim. I can't wait to see the paint job finished. Later-

Me too. I'll check out your site. Later-

Those are both nice looking models. My older brother and I got a couple of these one year from our grandparents. Can't remember what they were now. Too many years ago. But I've been thinking about picking up a couple to try again. Yours is making me want to also. They look great. Later-

I agree. This should be another great project from you. I like the work that you've done already, especially opening the hood vents. I, too, was not impressed with the box art of the ACR kit. It'll be nice to see how your customizing will improve that. Later-

Bruce- That turned out great. As has been said, I think you captured the drawing very well. The stance is perfect. Congrats. There are so many of his drawings that are worthy of a build. I'm glad this project came along. I'm still not half done on mine, but it's coming along. Again, Nice job. Later-

Cool build. Don't see that every day. What kit is it from? Later-

Sweet build. I love it! Later-

Randy, That chop and section looks great to me, with the exception of the windshield. It looks too small. Think about raising the top of the windshield to match the height of the top of the side windows. That's what I did to my Monogram 55 Ford pickup and it made a lot of difference. If you'd like to see a photo of it first, PM me and I'll show you. Great job though so far and that must have been quite a chore. Later-

That is a cool color combo. You've done a great job on it. I'll have to do my interior in white now! Later-

Simply outstanding work. Beautiful. Welcome to the board. Later-

Sign me up for some. Later-

Bradley- Looking good with that new roof swap. The work you did on relocating the grille/headlights makes it look a little more like a 64 Caddy from the side (at least to my damaged brain ) Take it easy. Later-

That is one beautiful car! I love the way it sits. The perfect stance. I need to find one of these kits. More and more I'm liking the looks of the Asian car kits and this one REALLY helps. I'll be keeping an eye on this build. Later-

This is how the rear ride height looks due to the work to the rear suspension. Next up is a bunch of work to the front shocks and inner panels to make room for the wide front tires. I had to move the front shocks to the other side of their mounting point. Otherwise the front rim would hit them. That required me to tub the front inner panels, which I am in the process of now. I'm not sure that this will leave room for the spare tire now. I may need to make some sort of cargo to go in this space now....maybe a suitcase? Every little modification leads to something else..... Thanks for looking. Any comments or criticisms welcomed. Later-

Since Jantrix made me feel guilty about not updating our JWAC posts (Thanks, Someone needed to make me feel guilty to get me to move)I decided to get after it. I don't have alot of "Exciting" updates, but it's all forward progress. First of all, exciting for me....not so much for you guys, I got my window installed in my model room. All this managed to do was let in more light to let me see that, MAN, what a mess I have! On to the model: First, I finally cut some holes in the body for the side scoops. I think they are too big, but once I get the scoop area filled in, they may not be. Also, I have some repair work to do on the air intake on the roof. The body didn't fair well in the suitcase coming home from Taos, NM. I got a coat of primer and Light Ivory on the center sections of the seats and door panels. The two tone will be Light Ivory and Light Earth. The front seats are from a Fujimi Porsche 911 and I had to narrow the upper section of the rear seat to fit between the mini tubs. I may use the dash from the 911 also. Next up is a series of the engine shots. Nothing special here except P.E. pulley covers. I plan to make a custom exhaust similar to one I found on the interweb that will allow a stinger pipe. More to come. Later-
