That'll be cool! Do you plan on making decals or hand painting? David G.

That's a great idea to use the rail car decals. I'm going to have to see if I can get ahold of some of those. David G.

Nice work getting the wheels on the ground Bruce. That can sometimes be quite a challenge on these old Monogram kits. The interior looks fantastic too! Great color choice for the leather seats. David G.

Excellent progress on this one, it's going to be a fantastic build when it' finished. David G.

Those are some beautiful color combinations you came up with. And it looks like the paint laid down quite well for you. Nice work! David G.

Nice work building all the shop equipment. I like your rust and dirt detailing too. David G.

Great detail work on the side spear and wheel covers. I'm curious about the wheel covers. Did this kit come with decals for the "E"s in the center? The AMT '58 Pacer kit didn't so I hand painted them. David G.

Good work on the engine and exhaust installation. Fitting and installing nonstandard parts is so much easier in 1:25 scale plastic than it is in full scale metal. David G.

I have too Carl, it's a good interior color. Thanks for your comment Kurt. This kit doesn't provide the front wing but there is a rear spoiler option in the kit which I will be adding. I thought about building a nose wing for it but in my research I learned that it was most likely a dealer add-on meant to sidestep bumper height requirements in certain US states. I decided not to go to the trouble of building and adding a non-standard accessory. That, and recently I've begun to see the nose wing as superfluous and clunky. It kind of disrupts the visual flow of the car's lines. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's another test fit with the interior tub in place. Though it can't be seen here, I've painted the inner body shell with flat black and Tamiya TS-46 Light Sand. Light Sand will be the primary interior color. It looks like the rear deck lid will need a little adjusting to obtain a proper fit. It's hinged so it can be opened which is strange for a curbside kit. I'll probably just glue it down during final assembly. That's all for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post your comments. David G.

You may not have finished the car Dennis but it looks like you ended up with a pretty good diorama! Mine's not nearly as complex of a kit, just a curbside with poseable steering and opening doors. David G.

It looks fantastic Bob, your best one yet! David G.

Nice work on the decals! David G.

I love all the added details. Nicely Done! David G.

Holy cow, that's gorgeous! The interior is fabulous and the engine bay looks great. When I saw the first photo, I thought for just a moment that it was a real 1:1 car. David G.

A beautiful rendition of a classic vintage car! David G.

Nice work on the boards! I imagine you have some wild paint schemes in mind for them. David G.

Thank you Jeff. Thanks Chaz. David G.

Everything looks perfect! David G.

Excellent conversion! David G.

You have some really great mods going on here. It's gonna look killer when it's done. David G.

Great looking start! David G.

Hello Everybody! After body prep and clean up, I applied some Tamiya Panel Line Accent wash to darken the panel lines a bit. I do this before and after priming and usually at least once after the first color coat. I find that this method creates a more subtle shadow. I'll clean up the blobs with some mineral spirits on a cotton bud or two. Here's our first official test fit of the body and chassis along with some of the other body bits. It actually took me a couple days of thinking things over to work out the best way to mate them up without damage. Also notice that the blobs are gone! That's all for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

It looks like your painting skills are really improving Bob. Love the interior detail too. David G.

It looks like a fun project. You're off to a great start. David G.
