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.

I always thought of these as "Mitsubishi's Mustang". Yours is gorgeous! I love the color and stance, the wheels look great and there's some excellent detail work going on there. Of course, your solid photography brings it all together quite nicely. David G.

Nice color for the body style, good solid looking build, it looks great! David G.

I followed your WIP on this one. It looks like everything came out great, nicely done! David G.

Fabulous color and build. It looks like a faithful replica of the original. David G.

A nice take on the 58 Impala, it looks great as a lowrider! That body style is a perfect match for the tail-dragger stance. I love all the custom work you've done with it. Well Done! David G,

Absolutely gorgeous build! David G.

That's one wild looking 'Vette! You really nailed the look with all the bolt-on custom features and color. David G.

Fabulous looking Ford! The color and paint look great, the trim is well done and the engine is a nice kicker. Well done! David G.

Tour metal bits look great, just the right sheen, color and shading. The paint repair looks good too. In the photos I can't tell where the damage was. David G.

Hello Everybody! It's time for a progress update on the Lamborghini. I got a good coat of paint down on the body, Tamiya TS-26 Pure White. Most of the body is in good shape with very little flash and no sink marks that I've found. There was one small casting flaw in the hood (not shown here) which I should be able to work out. On the rear deck lid, Fujimi provides an insert for the open vent in the center. The directions call for the area rearward of the center vent to be painted flat black but no insert is provided. To my mind, this is a bit of a problem as any photos I've found of that area show some type of louver there. I plan to correct that with the use of some strip styrene. I cut two styrene strips and arranged them in a stair-step fashion. I then trimmed and filed them to fit the space. Though not technically a louver, I think it looks better than a patch of flat black paint. That's it for this round. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks for the tips Rich. I do have some small magnets that I've been wanting to try using. Maybe this is the opportunity I've been waiting for. David G.

Excellent idea! It should be a great looking build when complete. David G.
