What an unusual and cute little car, it looks like a Ghia design. The build looks great, good idea cutting the side windows down. Nicely done! David G.

Gorgeous build! The paint, detailing and assembly look great! David G.

Thank you Mike, I appreciate that. David G.

Nice work! David G.

Love the color on this one! The interior looks great too. David G.

Very true my friend. Thank you Chaz. David G.

Gorgeous color! It looks perfect for the era and body style. David G.

The chassis is coming together quite nicely. I love all the little details you're adding. David G.

I've probably said it before, but: Museum Quality! David G.

These are all some very wicked looking creations. David G.

Fantastic work on this one, the engine looks fabulous! It's great to see it back on the bench. David G.

Hello Everybody! I knot it's been a little while since the last update so here's another. More white paint, this time for the trunk lid and vent boxes. And another panel line treatment. The side-view mirrors are meant to just be glued to the doors. For a number of reasons, I decided to pin them in place with some 26ga wire. While test fitting the mirrors I discovered that when positioned properly on the doors they stick out at a weird angle. They should be quite a bit more horizontal than they are. At first I thought I would need to heat and bend the mirrors into the proper angle. Not a very pleasant nor easy task. After seeing them in place however, I decided that shimming them with styrene wedges would be a much easier way to do it. Shimming would also eliminate any chance of causing heat damage to the mirrors. Here are the tiny wedges I made to correct the mirror positions. The wedges will tilt them outward so they are more horizontal. That's all I have for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Nicely Done! I'm sure he'll be pleased to have it. David G.

Great idea using the foam for the lace pattern, it worked out well. David G.

It looks great! I love the little bits of rust. David G.

An unfortunate sad ending to that story. David G.

A beautiful replica of a beautiful auto! You should be very proud of both. David G.

I remember seeing your WIP on this one Bruce, I'm glad to see it completed. The silver paint looks spectacular! It makes the car look like a trophy. The interior colors are a perfect compliment to the body. David G.

Great work as always Chuck! Love the patina and the overall feel of it. David G.

What a great opportunity to represent the hobby through such an excellent contribution to the history of a local community! Definitely a work to be proud of. David G.

As I like to say about builds like this one, "Smoooth an' Deadly!" Nicely Done! David G.

A great idea well executed! It's a bummer about the paint issues, I've had my troubles with Rustoleum too. They have so many great colors but unfortunately I feel like I'm taking a risk every time I use their product. Davind G.

Well worth the wait and the effort! Everything about it looks great! Lucky find on the bumper, the license plate cut reinforces the lowered image of the whole car. David G.

Thank you for the compliment Charles. I think they're beautiful cars, kind of the last of the Art Deco style of the 20's and 30's. Your Plymouth must have looked cool with those driving lights, do you have any photos of it? Thanks again for your comment, it's fun to see these old threads pop to the surface again. David G.

Thank you Chaz! David G.
