I've been on a roll building abandoned junkers of late, so I guess that trend will continue as the snow piles up...

As a rule, I paint subassemblies as a unit. If the engine is supposed to be all (or mostly red, it's assembled and and painted red as a unit. There are exceptions- for that red engine I just mentioned I might leave off the oil pain and paint it as a separate part because the sump may be too close to the bellhousing, and paint won't get into the area between them.

Better than starting with sheet plastic and a dream, though. For this guy, anyway.

I want one because...

Guy in the Jeep did the Ferrari a huge favor.

Nice... and I've filed away that part about making clear steering wheel rims for later use.

I REALLY like the '56-style trim, and that combined with the wire wheels and the brown paint makes for a clean and classy looking custom. I have to admit I never liked this car, but ... you made it look good. Very good!

Love it! I've heard horror tales about this kit, but looks like you pulled it off pretty well. That he did- http://selvedgeyard.com/2011/03/06/steve-mcqueens-mean-machines-the-1957-jaguar-xk-ss-green-rat/

Cool! These come with two sets of wheels and tires- one set installed and and optional set on a rack.

If Revell came out with another version of their '49 Mercury custom kit, I wouldn't gripe if it came with a closer-to-stock-appearing body and/or if they put out a '51 version.

I'd call this a prime example...

And it probably was peddled by one helluva TV spot...

I think the color looks awesome! All it needs now is a proper North Carolina plate.

I'm going to make it official... Put me down with an '88 Dodge Daytona.

I hate when this happens.... One project stalls, and you hatch a plan for another...

Just right. Very cool!

Sick, twisted, disgusting, and wrong.... in all the right ways. Seriously, if I had the cash I'd do this in 1:1, just to see the looks on people's faces.

Perfect!

Know what? I'm going to say it... How about a Morris Marina? Bonus points if it includes a sale piano.

Godspeed Tom.

Thanks guys. That it was... I still might go over it with a polishing cloth to add wear spots.

And just above it.... appears to be a frame rail from a big rig kit.

I had the same problem- I was using Internet Explorer at the time. I switched over to Google Chrome as my web browser and that fixed the problem.

This is the current version- the one I used. The previous two Revell-Monogram versions are the same thing, aside from the decals and one being molded in blue plastic.
