Very cool! I love it. It has the perfect Tom Daniels look to it. Later-

Like most everyone else I reserve the right to deviate at any time with whatever strikes my fancy. Like Tom, I claim the "Look a Squirrel!" defense. (Must go with the name.) But, I do have a few that I would like to get to in 2021. Seeing as I managed to finish the most I ever have in a year (12) this year I think the coming year may be pretty productive. So, here goes: 1. Fujimi Toyota S800 racing version 2. Tamiya Honda S800 3. 32 Ford Sedan (can't believe I've never completed any version of a 32 Ford) 4. Finish My 51 Chevy Fleetline "Boulevard Creeper" (my version of Voodoo Larry's Voodoo Creeper) 5. Finish my Custom 53 Ford Victoria 6. Finish my 65/ SN95 Mustang combo 7. Finish my 75/06 Mustang combo 8. Monogram Sea Quest DSV Stinger (for something completely off the wall) 9. Jimmy Flintstone Resin 41 Chevy COE 10. Finish my 41 Chevy lowrider pickup That should be enough to keep me busy and hoping that I can get a few of them off the list and onto my shelf. I look forward to seeing what you guys have planned. Later-

Moving a little slow on this. I got the windows and interior in. Next up is working on an engine for it. Later-

Looks great Gary. Love the taillights. Got any pictures of the front end? Later-

Beautiful job on your build. It looks perfect and the extra work on opening the doors just adds to the overall high quality. I don't recall ever seeing one of these built but it does look like a well detailed kit. Later-

Looks good! That thing is going to take up a bit of table space. Later-

Thanks guys! I appreciate it. Later-

Thanks Carl. I got the BMF and Molotow done this morning. Working on smoothing the bumpers and grill so I can spray them with Molotow chrome. Later-

I have them in external storage. I did the roof alterations back in 2017(?). I'll see if I can find some and post them. Thanks guys! Started the BMF a bit ago. Later-

Thanks guys for the positive comments! I'm glad you guys like it. The masks work really well. Very simple to use. The only trouble is ensuring that you get them placed where you want them the first time. Later-

I love every one of them! Nice work. Later-

Gary, Not sure it would fit with your style of build but what about a 90's Chevy TPI setup. May be lower in height to give you clearance. Later-

Gary, Not sure how you're sitting for parts for this but I have some spares. Let me know if there is anything you need for your build. Later-

Nice color on the interior Lee. Can't wait to see this one finished. What a beautiful car! Later-

Thanks Sam. Thanks. No, I only used one coupe roof and a strip of styrene close to 1/2 inch wide. Thank you. The idea is that the 4 slots around the center bullet would be digital ancillary gauges. It does look natural to me. Thanks. The grill reminds me of a Chevy grill now. Later-

Thank you very much Fellas! I really like the look of the flames too and was surprised at how simple they were to do and how nice the fading of the colors turned out. Later-

This is my next stalled project that I have been working on lately to try and get it finished. I started this build years ago to build a model of my cousin's 1:1 50 Ford Sedan. His was an unfinished project. I took measurements of his car. To pull it off I stretched the roof of a 49 Coupe and mounted it on a 50 Convertible. His plan for his 1:1 was to paint it Viper red. That idea didn't thrill me. Not long after completing the roof alteration on the model my cousin passed away and I put the project aside. About a year later I dug it back out and began personalizing it to how I would have built his 1:1. My idea is an attractive mild custom without being outrageous. Hence the "Girl Next Door". An understated beauty. Paint is HOK Goldmine Pearl with HOK Cocoa Pearl over that. Minor custom touches like removing the bullet from the grill, frenching the headlights and taillights, Connie kit and a few other mods. The mod I like the most is I customized the dash by using the grill bullet as a gauge pod for the dash. Plans are to use the engine from the 50 Ford pickup kit with a few custom touches and Pegasus spinner wheels and wide whites. Later-

Thank you! Thanks Sam. I'm sure I can get one more but the 50 Ford might not make it under the wire. Still have a lot to finish on it. Later-

Thanks guys! Later-

I finished this one up this morning by putting on the front bumper, exhaust tips, license plate and a couple of decals. I also had to re-attach the clear piece for the hood ornament as I knocked it off twice! This build makes an even dozen for the year...and I may be able to finish another by year end. This one has been a long haul to get it completed but I'm finally moving it to Under Glass.

I just finished this one this morning (#12 for the year). This one took a few years to get across the line and I'm glad to finally have it completed. The body and interior was sectioned about 1/8 inch. 56 Ford headlight buckets molded in. Used Lazy Modeler flame stencils and three colors for the flames. Many other major and minor alterations. Thanks for looking. Later-

Gary, Good to see you and your work on here. It looks great and I can't wait to see what you do with it. Yeah Sam. This is the Impala that I sent you photos of and I sent Gary pics of your El Camino. Later-

Honestly, this entire build other than the sectioning of the body and the stance that I wanted was somewhat of an afterthought. I had received the Lazy Modeler flame mask after I sectioned it. I began laying out the mask only to realize that since I had sectioned the body the flames would not fit the body as intended. I think that they still worked out fine. I kind of liked the flames working around the side trim so I am actually glad I left the trim. Later-

Nice score! I picked up that Mustang off of a guy recently for $10. I really like that Unimog though!! Later-
