  1. Looking good! Love the color you pick!
  2. Looks sweet!!! Love it!
  3. Thank you all! Working on the seats... The cushion part will be attached after painted. I did not built all together because I think it will be easy to paint the parts separately.
  4. Looks good!
  5. Nice kit, nice job with the carbon fiber decals!
  6. Thank you Jeremy! Here some small progress on the Caddy... Rebuilt the rear suspension and add the plumbing...
  7. Thank you all guys! @ScaleCentral, no I don't have the book, but I will check it out. Thank you for let me know. Here the hood, it still need some works, and hinges...
  8. Thank you all guys! @ScaleCentral, The chassis come from my part box, and I don't have idea what car was. For the engine I will plan to modify a engine I have to resemble as mush as possible the one used on the real car. I will post picture as soon I get there. When I was looking to find material to build this car, I found that there is a French company that make the kit of this car in 1/43 scale. @George 53, could be that is from one of the car you mentioned. I don't have idea. But also I don't care to much, the bottom of the car is covered, so the chassis will not show up. @Plasticfanatic, cool about the magazine! Probably a that time of the magazine you have the car was not restored. I cut the head off to a lot of screws, and glue them on the car. The next thing I made are the windows mount. Here the back part.
  9. Some progress on the body...
  10. Looking good! That's unfortunately that they did not supply decals for the interior.
  11. The body is taking shape but is far from be done... Her a test fitting on the chassis.
  12. Thank you Bill! Yes it! Thank you Danno!
  13. Here some more work on it... Actually not too much... But it will be necessary for build the body... Some putty on the tunnel, and add fort test only the front suspension system so I can start to check the wheelbase and ground clearance. I will replace the front suspension with the one in the other pics. Next step is working on the body...
  14. Yesterday night I was able to make the front air scoop for the brakes. Here installed. The tires will be replaced with different one, I used those for test fit the air scoop only.
  15. The car is a Cadillac, but not a fancy one, with luxurious interior and and tons of chrome... The one I want to replicate is the one raced a the 24Hr of Le Mans in 1950... The one the french press called "Le Monstre" because of it unusual shape... After 30 years two American cars went back to Le Mans. This time two 1950 Cadillac, one a pretty much stock Serie 61 (changed carburetors, add an auxiliary tank, and few other things), the second one built bi Cunningham with the help of the Grumman Aircraft, had a 5 carburetor set up and a more "aerodynamic" shape. The Serie 61 was driven by Sam and Miles Collier, and finished 10th. Le Monstre was driven by Cunningham and Phil Walters, and finished 11th... They say because he spend over 30 minutes on a sand hole and had to borrow a shovel from a spectator because he did not have one in the car. Here both cars. Here the chassis/interior, the chassis is from my model parts box and it has dimension correct for what I think I'm building.
  16. Very nice and welcome!
