Nice trucks. Are the stripes are lettering decals or painted? Also I'm guessing that the "Y" is for Youngstown? David G.

Cool! David G.

Very Cool! That's one I don't have yet. David G.

Nicely Done! Great detail work on the engine. I have an older version, the race crew, I think? I built it as a grocery getter all painted up in gold. I even made a bag of groceries for the back. David G.

Great color choice. David G.

Beautiful paintwork and excellent detailing. David G.

Nice work on the engine and good call on the wheels, they look great too. David G.

Interesting idea. I'm curious to see how it lays down in application. David G.

Absolutely gorgeous! The chassis you used looks like the one from Monogram's '59 Cadillac. David G.

Thank you Chaz. Funny that you should mention painting the border around the headlight lenses. I did just that along the top edges to hide those location tabs that I mentioned in the previous post. It turned out pretty good but I think I may stop there. I hand painted it and it was enough of a challenge that I'm worried that If I try to do more I may muck it up. Thanks Carl, it is beginning to feel that way. I'm kind of getting that urge for the final push if you know what I mean. David G.

Nice color, I think the wheels will work too with a little black wash and some detailing. David G.

Hello Everybody! After getting all the overspray and mask leakage cleaned up I started fitting the ancillary parts only to find that more adjustment was needed for the headlight pods. When I installed the headlight assemblies I discovered that the transparent covers didn't fit flush with the body, sticking up almost 2mm above the fenders. That simply wouldn't do. In earlier test fittings I discovered that the headlight pods were almost too big to fit where they were supposed to go so I filed them down accordingly. This time I found that the locating studs on the bottoms of the pods were too wide for the slots that're supposed to accommodate them. Needless to say, more filing ensued. Finally, both headlight pods sitting low enough to allow room for the clear covers to sit flush. Now I think I want to do something about those ugly locating tabs. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Beautiful work, thanks for taking the time to share it with us. David G.

Thank you Mike. Thanks Patrick and you're welcome. David G.

Wow! you have a lot of excellent mods and custom work going on here, all of them very well executed. This is one sweet hotrod you have going. David G.

Nice progress, I like the addition of the artwork. And you spatter paint works well too. David G.

Lots of great things going on there, well done! David G.

Thanks Dave, I'm happy to know that you appreciate the effort. Thanks Bob, I'm glad you like it. David G.

Hi Everybody. For what it's worth, I went back and reedited, cleaned up and reloaded my photos on this thread. This is one of my favorite builds and I didn't want to see it fall prey to the PhotoBucket Monster. Thanks, David G.

Beautiful color combination and lots of shiny chrome. Great work on the mash-up too. David G.

Beautiful detail work! Well worth the effort you've put into it. The body and decals look great too. David G.

Beautifully Done! David G.

I watched your progress with this one in the WIP. It turned out great! Excellent detail and finish. David G.

Impressive kit-bashing and scratch building skills! Thank you for taking the time to share your progress. David G.

Excellent work so far! David G.
