Nicely Done! Excellent color choice, it just looks right. David G.

The next update: OK, the side pieces are firmly and permanently affixed to the hull and I'm working on fitting the windshield panel in place. It looks like it will need some adjustment. I'm also trying out the new base for the photo diorama I'm working on. It's supposed to look like asphalt. It's a shame that all that work I put into the interior will never be seen again. The air boxes are installed after and are supposed to tuck under the pointy side piece with the shiny bit. No matter how I tried I couldn't get the boxes to slide up and under the side pieces, the just wouldn't go. I ended up grinding away just a pit of each side piece to allow for clearance. I don't know if I did something incorrectly or if it is a design flaw of the kit but it's in there now. That's it for now but I should be posting the final update soon. Thank you to those who are still following along. Please feel free to leave a comment. David G.

Smooooth and Deadly. David G.

Thanks for posting the progress pics Glenn. Sometimes it's nice to "see under the hood" so to speak. David G.

Beautiful work! It is a great kit, isn't it? Whether done with paint or decals, the complexity and precision of the orange stripe trim can be quite intimidating. Providing a pre-painted body allows many more builders the opportunity to build a satisfactory model of this iconic car. Cheers for Polar Lights! At the time of release I bought both the pre-painted version and the full-featured flat boxed edition. I built the pre-painted version straight away while (embarrassingly) the flat boxed kit is still in my "someday" pile. I think I may build it as the more realistic studio version with the Lincoln engine... or maybe the Penguin-Mobile. Great job on yours and your photography is excellent too. David G.

Nicely Done! Beautiful work on the lighting effects. Did you post a thread under the Work In Progress section? I'd love to see how you worked the LEDs into the build. David G.

One of my all-time favorite car designs, put me down for one! David G.

I've always wanted to build one of these metal kits. Yours looks fantastic! David G.

I thought it was a real car when I first saw it. Very nicely done. David G.

Sweet! Love the color. David G.

OK, here's another update. These vents or air boxes that mount to the side of the vehicle have a rather yucky looking "screen" cast into them. I just can't live with that. This is some speaker cloth that I found in my garage. It should suffice as a replacement. Cutting out the old screen castings. The replacement mesh is cut and glued into place. This looks much better. A quick shot of the air boxes in place. Well worth the effort. Thanks for taking the time to look, all comments and suggestions welcome. David G.

It looks fantastic! David G.

Looks great so far. Love the engine detail and wheel selection. David G.

Early 20th Century engineering- not too far removed from Steampunk, I love it! David G.

Nicely done! I built mine as an Aussie RHD model. David G.

Cool! David G.

Great Paintwork, excellent color choice! David G.

Super Solid! Excellent detail, I love the work you did on the rotors. David G.

These are awesome! They're almost as scary as the drag bike I saw a few years ago at a Phoenix Desert Scale Classic. I'll be watching this one for sure, David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

I love all the little details you're adding. I especially like the manuals, I think I'll borrow that for my dio. ...if you don't mind. David G.

It has a coolness all its own. Sort of Cowboy-Ganksta! Love the color too. David G.

Thanks Rusty, I'm glad you're enjoying it. David G.

Super sweet! David G.

Fabulous work as always Geoff! Thanks for taking the time to post it. David G.
