Alyn, It was cool to read this post. My dad works with TJ Nish and was giving me daily updates on their progress. We were pulling for them! -Art Laski, Jr.

As always, very nice, John!

You must have forgotten about LeCar! What a beaut!

Wild, John! Very nice cruiser, just in time for Route 66! -Art

Very nice! I posted my Hasegawa version a few months ago, so I know what it took to get this done. Yours turned out excellent. -Art

Just curious, what do you use to clean up your airbrush? -Art

Mark, Like I mentioned earlier today, pretty cool! Thanks again for talking about my project with me. I really appreciate your insights. Talk to you soon, -Art

Romell, The second car is going to cost you fortune in Alclad! -Art

Thanks, Romell. I think coming home with a plaque for his efforts today and winning a few raffle goodies got him excited to keep going. It sure would be nice to see that junior table a bit more crowded!

John, Very nice post. My son and I had a great time today and it was real cool being "pitted" next to you guys. I again enjoyed chatting with you about your incredible builds and techniques and meeting the great Romell and seeing his awesome work in person as well. Hope we see you both at the next show! -Art

I've been following along and really love this WIP. Thanks for sharing, John. I remember seeing this Bronco in Parnelli's shop when I was a kid back then. Really awesome job. Art Laski

Cool car!

Looks great! The carbs on that motor jumped out at me. What did you use to paint them?

Nice work. Very clean...

Hi Johnny, I've said a prayer for my fellow modeler. Best of luck towards a speedy recovery. -Art

John, This model is obviously incredible. No ruin everybody's day and tell us how long it took you. -Art

Romell, very nice! Will you be bringing this to the SD NNL? I'd love to see it in person. -Art

Incredible, John. Love the WIP! Will we see this at the LLC NNL? -Art

I've always loved Avanti's. That's a nice one. Good work! -Art

Thanks for all of the comments. It's much appreciated! -Art

Thanks for the comments, guys. I took this on thinking it would be an easy build. I'm not that experienced, having only done a few models prior to this one, but I underestimated the work masking off all the windows! I call this the "Murphy" bus, because everything went wrong. I'm sure you've all had a project like that! It's been primered three times, and painted twice because the paint just didn't come out right the first time(s). I lost one of the blinkers and a hubcap, so I made molds and cast new ones. Then, my dog ate the headlight bezels and I lost the exhaust, so VW Dave helped me out with those. I snapped the rear window in half trying to polish it up, so I had to make a new one from lexan. And finally, the antenna broke in half after it was assembled, so I scratch built a new one from guitar wire and Evergreen rod. Because of all that it took WAY too long to get it off the bench, but I'm glad it's finally done and I appreciate your replies very much. -Art

Thanks, Mike. I'll check it out. -Art

That's real nice, very clean. Do you happen to know where I can find a '67 Impala Wagon? -Art

Hi there, I posted some pics of this about 90% complete earlier, but finally got it all done. So here it is how it ended up. Thanks to VW Dave for the parts help that allowed me to finish it. Thanks for looking! -Art
