Very, very well done. I am more of an Indy than NASCAR fan but was impressed with Tim's career so I really like seeing your fabulous model.

Great observation. I could not come up with the a good description but you nailed it. Definitely a very unique sectioned shoebox which is what customizing is all about.

Good looking Corvette. Green is a great color choice for a C3

Not what I was expecting when I opened the post but I like what I see.

I cannot get over how perfect the three hundred scripting looks.

Jay Leno would love this.

Wild and very well done.

Great looking traditional Deuce Hot Rod Coupe. Well done.

I did not realise Ebbro had released such an impressive almost contemporary F-1 car and you have certainly done it justice.

Very well done. Hope to see it at the Great White North NNL March 16

Very well done. Both the Falcon and the trailer. I have always be a fan of Falcons and once owned a 65 V-8 4-speed hardtop. Sad that the name no longer appears on a car anywhere in the world. It has even been replaced with Mustangs in the Australian Supercar Series.

This is a beautiful model. You did a great job building it. Speaking about the nose, I wished I had molded the front piece to the rest of the assembly as I was disappointed at obvious the seam was and do not remember any mention in the instructions. I built mine with the Haynes manual as a reference and before I attended the 2013 US GP in Austin.

Hard to beat a Candy Apple 40 Ford Coupe. This has a great current vibe

Great looking GT40. Well done.

Thanks guys - I have started a new post On the Workbench on the continuation of this project

Great looking model which may inspire my first Pro-Touring build.

This is a model that has been in the works for a very long time but will be completed it in the near future for Deuce Days in Scale this July and as a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the Rodder’s Journal. This deuce model was inspired by the first Rodder’s Journal poster. The actual car was built by Dave Simard’s East Coast Customs for Mike O’Neill. It was first featured in bare metal in the very first issue of the Rodder’s Journal 25 and then as completed in issue #8. Even though this Deuce was built over a quarter of a century ago, it still looks fresh. I bought the Revell 3-Window Coupe kit as soon as it was released [can you believe it – over 20 years ago] in 1996. The box art car even looked a lot like the O’Neill Deuce albeit not chopped and having bumpers. I immediately chopped the top, started making a few other modifications and collecting necessary parts for the build. The body languished in the box until it was used to build a replica of one of the Deuce Days 2016 t-shirt Deuces. I chopped another three window awhile back but chopped it a bit too much, so I used that body to build a curbside/slammer version of the bare steel car which I posted Under Glass http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/130885-the-rodders-journal-first-deuce-coupe/ This is what I have accomplished so far BODY Revell first issue 3-window coupe The roof was chopped about a scale 2-1/2 inches Door hinges removed to be replaced with the accurate ones from Replicas & Miniatures I decided to open the passenger side door to show the interior like it was photographed in the magazine Louvers opened up on stock hood sides Replicas & Miniatures grill shell which has a double sided radiator INTERIOR Seat modified from Revell 5-window coupe. Door panels re-scribed with rolls & pleats CHASSIS Floor and fuel tank cut out of kit frame so I can photograph the rolling chassis like it was shown in the magazine Cross tubing added FRONT SUSPENSION Kit tube front axle converted to beam axle with sections from R/M 1/24 Deuce Roadster FRONT WHEELS & TIRES Kit Torque-Thrusts wheels Parts box Michelin tires BACK WHEELS & TIRES Kit Torque-Thrusts wheels – diameter slightly increased Parts box BF Goodrich T/A Radials narrowed I am looking forward to the weather warming up so I can get into painting.

What a blast. There are very few vehicles in which V-8 cannot be stuffed.

Very effective and interesting diorama. It is amazing how complex the current F1 cars have become as they a testing this week at Circuit Catalunya. The wings and side pods of the Zakspeed are so unadorned in comparison.

Very nice build. I always like to see Dan Gurney racecars and this is one of my favorites. I believe he won the Riverside 500 in a similar car.

Looking beautiful already and will be even more so when completed. I never warmed up to the original livery. This one enhances the cars very unique shape.

WOW. Incredible build. At first I thought it might be large scale with the high level of detail and fidelity. Build on.

Very well done. Reminds of a Volvo a friend had brand new
