Thank you Phillip.

What an elegant solution to the fit problem with the front clip! David G.

Mind-blowing work on this one so far! All of it exceedingly well done. David G.

I think sanding is the right call at this point Mike. Even if the surface is rough, it seems that there is a good base coat to build from. With that, most other flaws can be fixed. David G.

Nice work on rerouting the exhaust, in the earlier shots it looks a little tight but the thinner torsion bars should alleviate that. Good idea opening up the K-frame holes too. David G.

What a cool story! ? Thanks for sharing it. David G.

Sweet lighting work! David G.

Very Cool! It's gotta feel good to be shooting paint. David G.

Nice work on the tail lights! David G.

Congratulations Steve! David G.

Good color choice, nice interior detailing, well done! David G.

Excellent detail painting on the grille assembly and interior with a good eye-catching paint job. Nicely done! David G.

The ride height looks good, of course lowering the front a little more will give it more of a classic hotrod rake, so it works out either way. I think the artillery wheels with the spinners is the way to go. Everything looks great so far. David G.

May your good fortune with this one continue. David G.

Looks like you're off to a great start. David G.

You're welcome Alan, I'm glad you enjoy it. David G.

Thank you Joe. Sometimes the small things can make a big difference. Thanks Carl. It was certainly a but I think it was worth the effort. David G.

Excellent compensation for the exhaust routing Steve. This is a perfect example of what I call "Proportional Shift". Because of the change in scale and the difference in materials between the model and the actual car, the exhaust pipes seem to be half again as thick as they are IRL. And the torsion bars on the model look to be at least twice the diameter of their real world counterparts. If the model torsion bars were replaced with wire of the same scale diameter and the exhaust parts were similarly represented, then a builder might be able to route everything in a prototypical manner. But even then, one would need to consider the difference in materials. There is just no way that a 2.5mm diameter plastic rod will bend in the same way as a 2 1/2" steel tube. I think you came up with an excellent solution to one of the oldest scale modeler's dilemmas. David G.

Fabulous work on this! David G.

Excellent mash-up! Looks like it was born that way. David G.

Go on, you have my interest. David G.

Looks like a top quality build, well constructed and nicely detailed. Well Done! David G.

I've always been curious about the quality and construction of these serial mail-order kits. I'll definitely be following along. What you've done so far looks great. David G.

Sweet hotrod! Love all the added details, well done! David G.

Another sweet long-roof! It just cries out to be made into a hearse. David G.
