This is a kit I'd never consider buying. Now I will. This build has so many nice elements to it. I love the concept. The build is fitting the concept of a used race car that's not used up. I'm looking forward to learn from this build.

Thanks for the pictures.....I need to learn how to use my milling machine better. Your work is quite inspiring and rather amazing. Where are you getting your tooling? Also how are you drilling the holes and not snapping the drill bit?

HOLD ON TO THEM...they are a snapshot of a time that's gone by that most parents would love to go back to.

I'm late to the party.....boy did I miss a lot! Hopefully the girl jumping out of the cake is next! Seriously I have Sherline equipment and I'm getting it slowly on line. I appreciate your pictures. They're a good guide to get me started. If you do it again, any chance of videos? This is amazing.

Fantastic news....this is a true benchmark in American custom coach building, maybe the last of its breed.

It appears the Piranha is out of stock.....darn it. I need the decals for it.

Looks like more than a quick and dirty slump buster. Its very nice. What did you do with the glass. It looks much more realistic than most kits.

In a sick, very perverse way, I like it.

The comments on the Thomas Flyer surprise me....maybe it shouldn't. AMT produced a bunch of that kit and very few people rushed out to get one. Okay, no one did. I've heard more than one person desire to buy one. It reminds me of the original Knight Rider kit.....thing was more common than pimples on a thirteen year old. I bet know if you had a sealed one at a show, there'd be a fist fight over it.

Thanks for what you do for the group members!

Couldn't make up your mind on a donor kit? ? I hope you have WIP pictures in case you enter it in a show. It so well done, most would not believe it had that extensive of bodywork. VERY nicely done.

Now that was unexpected.

Reducing font size shouldn't cause pixelation. The majority of fonts are vector based and should change size without a problem. Of course what your printer does to them is another thing.

There's so much right with this build. I absolutely love it! Makes me want to rush to my local hobby shop and pick up the 29 Roadster......oh shucks.

I'm working on a dragster and I plan on using some resin cast slicks. They don't have sidewall markings. The time frame of the car would be the white lettered Goodyear Blue Streaks. Did they have Goodyear on both sidewalls? If they did have the lettering on both sides, how was the lettering positioned in relationship to each other?

If this was CNC, I'd be impressed with your drafting abilities and your skill converting those drawings to code. Knowing you do this freehand, I'm simply in awe. I think I have most of the tools although I have Sherline and I think you've got a variation of a Sieg but I don't pretend to think I'll ever perfect your talent.

Are the Liberty and the Revell kits the same engines with Liberty's being assembled?

The kits were always Monogram or Revell, before they merged. I used to think they were a Revell thing until I picked up a few Monogram collector's club kits.

Speechless. Wow that's amazing.

I remember when Robbie died......a sad day. He is one of those people where you wonder what might have been. I'd like to do his Crown Olds but have yet to find a good set of decals for it.

That's a beautiful piece. As for pulling away from the wall, with the obvious woodworking skills, I'm certain you've got it well anchored into the studs. A great piece and inspirational in design.

I really like my Badger Aspire at half the price.

Guy's work never disappoints.

In the last photo, is that a four door door? I seem to remember two doors being a hardtop without the full door frame.

Nice build.....I just wish whoever thought of the Jimmy Durante blower scoop would had thought of something else, anything else than that blower design.
