    Rare but not unheard of. My 52 Ford Customline just recently turned 25,000 miles this summer and I have all the service records for it since it was new.

    When all is said and done all I can say is that I am proud to drive an American car, from an American manufacturer, assembled by American workers. Raisin

    Although I wont be able to attend I would recomend this show to anyone that can. I went a couple years ago and think that this is probably the best run show that I have ever attended. Raisin

    Thanks, for the tires i cut a flat spot off the bottom with an xacto knife, heated the area till it was close to dripping rubber, then pushed it into a flat surface which causes the bottom to bulge out slightly. Raisin

    Looks like something that Professor Fate would would drive.........."Press the button Max!"

    This is what I built for the Revell contest. Been really pressed for time of late so I was only able to do a box stock build...........Oh well, maybe next year I can come up with something better. Raisin Raisin

    Nice job, I agree its a great kit. As for the hood ornament, there is a slot to open from the underside that it locates into. Raisin

    My worst since I started building as an adult was also one of the most fun. Our club used to do an anual 8 hour build. From unopened box to finished model in 8 hours. Its amazing some of the shortcuts you can come up with if you need too!

    Virtually all my builds are done with rattle cans. I generally only use my airbrush when I have to custom mix a color or am doing something very intracate. Here are a few................

    Really diverse and interesting group of models. Heres my favorite, I built this about 5 years ago and although my skills have improved since then this is still one of my favorites for a few reasons. First I was always a big fan of Dyno Don growing up near the Detroit Dragway.....Second I tried building this car as a kid and failed miserably.....And finally my first ever Best in Show award came with this build. Thanks for looking, Raisin

    Generally I dont have a problem with bringing older builds to an event. If shows limited the entries to current builds I doubt there would be very many models to look at. I do however try to avoid entering a model in competition that has won previously at the same show. Raisin

    My Starliner has a 352

    Nice job, I have built this one as well so I know what a chore it is to apply the decals. I like that you added the inner fenders too. When i did mine I used the inner fenders from a Monogram Mustang kit. once again great job!

    I'm gonna be in the area that weekend, Hopefully I can make it to the show Raisin

    Thats the one Ive been waiting for! A convertible is a great way to show the beautifully done interiors in these Hudson kits. Just wondering if the fender skirt location has been corrected though? Raisin

    To expand on your idea a bit............I also did a little drop on the center of the steering wheel over the decal to simulate the clear plastic cover. Raisin

    Thanks............I used Tamiya TS-15 Blue and Model Masters Wimbledon White paint

    Nice take on a great kit. Hope you enjoyed building yours as much as i did mine. Raisin

    I was just about to suggest this method, but I see someone beat me to it.......Try it it works.
