    Thanks guys! Paul- The gauges come from the 62 Corvette Glasses Gasser version. Took parts of two sets. I didn't realize till now how poorly they fit in the PE dash panel. Oh well. Later-

    Thanks. I've always wanted to include one in a build but this is the first one I've done. I've only seen it one other time on a model. Later-

    I built this using all parts from my parts boxes. Nothing fancy or highly detailed. It reminds me of just a nice, home built hotrod. Glad to get it off the bench and in the cabinet. It is my fifth finished project for the year. Now back to my mild custom 41 Plymouth. All comments and criticisms welcomed. Later-

    All done! Moved to Under Glass. Thanks for following along. Later-

    I'll have to get me one. I just got several sets of their wheels. Later-

    That looks good. Where did it come from? Fink's Garage? Later-

    Got some more progress on the engine done. Got to finish wiring the distributor, put the grille/ headlights on and then the steering arm. Later-

    Simply amazing work! Just the way I envision mine turning out. This is the way all of these should be built. Love every bit of it and I wouldn't change a thing. Later-

    Love the pearl white and the stance! Nice work Jim. Later-

    Got some resin VW wheels in the mail today from Fink's Garage. Nice looking wheels (after the normal clean-up). Can't wait to put them on some tires. Later-

    Just got a shipment in from Fink's! Great looking wheels. Can't wait to throw them on some tires. Later-

    An amazing amount of work done to this and it is simply amazing! Love the look. I'll be watching this one for sure! Later-

    Stocked up? That's just what I have sitting in my way on my model table along with 4 or 5 in progress. Don't misunderstand that- I have dozens in progress, just 4 or 5 on my bench. Lol! Later-

    Might actually get to the bottom of a stack? I haven't bought much but I have traded a lot so far this year. I can actually only recall buying a couple. So far this year I have built 4(?) and about ready to finish another. The good thing about this latest build is that I am using up things from my parts boxes. But there is no fear of running short on those. Later-

    Making progress. Getting the engine put together. I need to make some engine and tranny mounts now. I'm liking the necker knob. Later-

    My favorite of the tri-5 series. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this. I have one in my stash that someone cut a section of the roof (total of about 2 inches from the front to the back). I repaired it with a scrap roof section from a 57 and some plastic strip for the drip rails. I'll be tuned into this build. Later-

    Nice work on the stance. Can't wait to see what you do with the paint. Later-

    Thanks for the response. That build looks amazing! Great job. Later-

    That looks very nice Cruz! I love this car and, although the kit is inaccurate, I still bought one and intend to get a couple more. Your paint looks fabulous. Later-

    Beautiful work on this one! I have always love this car. When they came out I spent many hours looking them over at the dealership. I have one to build but never thought of building it in this color scheme. What brand and color of red did you use for the interior? I love it. Later-

    It definitely is more green. Not at all what the sticker on the cap looks like. It was disappointing when I first shot it but decided to go with it anyway. I've been getting a lot of the small stuff done on this one. From the parts box I installed the taillights and a side mirror. I also installed a knob on the steering wheel.(what my Mom always called a necker knob). Finished up the grill and pieced together the bed. Been working on the engine lately. Pictures to come when I get back to work. Later-

    Like always, I had an idea and decided to run with it before finishing my current project, of which I am working on the engine and have a lot more of the small details finished. (I WILL finish soon.). I thought this 84 Square body Chevy needed a bit of shape so I set off to widen the fenders before I begin the work on scratchbuilding a lowered frame. It's kind of difficult in the photos to see how it looks but it doesn't look too bad. I started by cutting the tops of the fenders and then adding some extra plastic. Later-

    Looks really smooth Jim. Looks like it will be a useful tool. Later-

    Looks good Pat! Later-

    Wow Kurt! That turned out beautifully. I would hope with results like this you would do more Street Rods. It's amazing work. Later-
