That is amazing! really looks good!

That works very well! Should have been at the Detroit show.. Great job on the concept..

I wouldn't get under a blanket with george even if HE was an attractive blonde , with blue eyes, and a nice figure ...

ah.. nice to have that out in the driveway to pose for ya. Will make a great model.. I'd say make it exact.. all the dings and dents and scratches.

Paint DOES look good .. someday I'm gonna get some sharp reflections ..

Treehugger Dave just posted some tips on Alclad that might help

The wheels give this as much forward lean as the roof .. looks great... 2-tone as well

now, that would be a blast! Gentlemen. Start your dehydrators!!!!

This is modeled after one of my wife's cars. My son inherited it for college where after 2 years he decided to change the oil and mechanic told him, "I can't change the oil.. there IS none." Needless to say, my son is not a car guy. Oh.. the Subaru survived the dry crankcase will no ill effects! This kit was a Japanese Touring model which differed with a raised roof and right-hand drive. The roof gave the most challenge mostly due to the thin roof pillars. Since I had previously done this to a 91 Legacy ... 2 times for success ... this one worked out well. The raised front section can be seen in the box art. Body with first coat of paint. I used Subaru Touch Up paint thinned for the airbrush. Typical Japanese kit detail on chassis. No engine but looks great. The dash required conversion to left hand drive which was an easy job with the symmetry of the dash. All you see here was done 15 years ago and I have no idea why I flocked the seats! The color is right, so they are staying. The grill seems to be my stumbling block. My wife's car has 3 grill bars where the kit was modeled with a mesh design. I sanded off the back, added a new backing and made the bars from .01 styrene. Getting back to it recently, I failed in my attempts to glue these in the grill shell with proper spacing. It's a too confined space for everything I tried. Now the grill bars resemble a ball of masking tape.. eheh I think I need to make an insert I can assemble outside the shell and drop in. Hopefully putting this up will put me on the line to finish...!!

That's even better than the photos!! nice catch

Those are coming along spectacular! Building a wheel and tire from scratch would put me in George 53's house chained to the wall!!! Glad you're filling us in on this.. watching with mouth agape and eyes the size of pineapples.

wow.! I'm planning on finishing at least ONE car this year. eheh It's been a long, dry spell, but not for the lack of starting anything! maybe my Infinity G35 6MT Coupe will see the light of day. I'm scared of the black paint job now I think.. and masking all those windows!

That grill is a work of art ... a metal grill with thickness! nice

that front suspension is not long for this world when those two Allisons touch down!! lot of good looking builds there.. looks like was a great show!

OMG .. 6 COLORS!!! ...the riddle is.. how long before you go crazy?? oh..It's evilone . nm, we already know

That sure sounds major! and an Allison in the Charger?... probably a good idea not to do it.. that rear wing could spell L-I-F-T-O-F-F !!

Thanks much guys ..

the light LOVES that paint job. Reflections are sharp as a razor! that's some great painting!

so the home ec girls gave you the secret to blood removal i see.. looks like it all came out well. The boys really did a good job on the paint. Think they'd like to do some dark blue on a 49 Merc? That would be good training for them.. dark colors are tough. When I get the 53 Buick trim I'll give Mr. Metalbend at the school a call when it's in trim...

definitely looks like massive detailing! Looks good here. congrats on the contest placements.

think just I saw that in the high school parking lot ... 50 years ago!!! ...looks awesome.. that paint has to be so smooth.. the reflections are stunning!

I've gone through all my links and can't find the aftermarket company that casts spark plugs. I know I saw then in the past month or so.. does anybody know off hand where I can get these? .. 1/24-1/25 of course

A big thanks for the tips, Dave. I'm just ready to try Alclad for the first time. Looks like I wait for summer now... or maybe turn the thermostat up when the wife's out.. then shut it down and open all the doors. yeah, that's it!!!

We can never have too many rods!!!! I have one losing weight fast and may have to take the plunge and put up for viewing in the mirror here soon. This is looking good.. pose is shaping up! Just stay off the fries and pour th epjat into the big block!

. . . I'll be braking from this conversation now....
