  1. Congratulations Steve on a gorgeous model of such an iconic car. It is on the cover of the book The Birth of Hot Rodding - The story of the Dry Lakes Era by Robert Gallant. In side is the same photo which you featured in your WIP but shows that it is towing the brothers '34 Coupe which maybe you should build next !!?? I actually saw the '36 many years ago before it was restored on one of my car trek trips to California visiting hot rod shops
  2. Very nice to see. Love first gen Riverars
  3. Well done and very wild yet also restrained in some aspects
  4. ALTERATIONS & ADDITIONAL Wheels and tires from AMT Ala Kart Shifter, valve covers and moon tank from 5W kit – added Tiki shift knob to shifter Modified the upholstery Banjo steering wheel and dash from Model Car Garage 4-speed from AMT ’69 Cougar Parallel rear springs, shock absorbers and drum brakes X-frame adapted from Revell ‘37 Ford PU PAINT – Exterior Tamiya Light Metallic Blue – Interior Tamiya Pearl White
  5. Very nice. Lots to like here, especially the roof, engine and wheels. Way to go !!
  6. Cool to see. I have always liked the look of the 35 grill. If I ever get into 3D printing that is on of the first things I would print.
  7. Great to see. Very nice. Well built.
  8. I am really enjoying your series of Airfix box art cars. Well done.
  9. Gorgeous !!
  10. Good job. Very attractive woodie.
  11. Nice pair of fraternal twins classic Hi-Boys
  12. Thanks guys. Here is a photo of the car that inspired the model
  13. Excellent example of one of the most beautiful Ferrari rear engined F-1 Ferraris in IMHO
  14. Very very attractive. Definitely on the list of all time good looking Cadillacs.
  15. That really is a good looking Ferrari race car that is definitely worthy of joining the list of illustrious and gorgeous Ferrari sports racers that proceeded it.
  16. I have always liked Boxers and Testarossas so I was very pleased to see your two gorgeous examples. I am disappointed to learn the Fujimi kit has flaws. The first 512BB kit I bought for $4 was a motorized version with opening doors from the Tokyo Marui Co. Ltd. maybe tellingly without tires and wheels [maybe they were OK !!??] I later acquired a Fujimi kit figuring between the two I could build a decent Boxer. I just pulled the Fujimi kit out of the stash and see what you mean regarding the wheels and tires. I remember seeing a resto-mod Boxer in Forza magazine so maybe that is the way mine will be built !!
  17. I really like your Deuce Coupe. Well thought out and built. Great weathering which is something I have never attempted.
  18. Absolutely love your Deuce Tom in everyway.
  19. Cool to see. Great job. It was a mind blower when this car first appeared on the TV show.
  20. Thanks Carl Thanks Jason - Your hoods are great. Still have one more Deuce hood. I also have your California Kid set which I hope to use sooner than later. Thanks Dave.
  21. Very attractive and well built custom. Do you have a Riviera convertible in the works !!??
  22. Absolutely first class top notch grade A number 1 primo model. Have a great holiday.
  23. Gorgeous Cadillac. I have always liked the GM 4-door flat-tops hardtops.
  24. Thanks everybody. I really appreciate your comments. I am extremely pleased with how well received this Deuce has been.
