WoW! That is spooky cool! David G.

Nicely done! Great color choice, it just looks right on that car. David G.

Impressive! David G.

Looks great! Excellent diorama too. David G.

Talk about a blast from the past! Your detail work is excellent! I really your solution to the marker light issue. Great looking model and well worth the wait. David G.

I don't know what your plans are but this has Rat Rod written all over it. What you have so far looks great! David G.

I enjoy parts box builds- the sense of endless possibilities. You have a very good start on yours, I can't wait to see what's next. David G.

Good solution. David G.

Looks like a quick and fun build. Excellent detail painting on the chassis, you'd never guess it was a curbside. Love the color too. David G.

Interesting mash-up, I'm curious to see how this plays out. David G.

Good Job! Something about the red paint seems to completely change the character of this car. Seeing yours built like this makes me wonder what colors would have been offered if this vehicle had gone into production. I have one of these in my stash and I'm waiting to find the perfect shade of pale green to build it. I suppose I could mix the color myself but I have other projects to work on. David G.

One of my all-time favorite cars. You certainly do it justice. David G.

I'm not sure how well the two design era styles will blend together- at least in my own mind. I'm open to all possibilities and I'm interested to see how this plays out. It's intriguing to say the least. David G.

It's one of those cars that looks like it's going 90 mph when it's sitting still! Excellent work so far. David G.

It'll be interesting to see where this one carries you. I like when the modifications begin to write their own story. David G.

Here is another update. This is what I occupied most my model building time this week. While prepping the wheel covers for their final polish and detail I noticed that the original "chrome" coating on three out of four wheels had lumpy looking drips on them. Here they can be seen on the lower right part of the disc edge near the "spokes". So I guess I'll strip all four of them and refinish them like I did the grille and bumpers. Well here they are. It took me two different strippers, Super Clean for the chrome coating and oven cleaner underlying lacquer base. Luckily, all the flaws seemed to be in the base coat and all the wheels are smooth and pretty. Yes, there were five provided in the kit. There seems to be no good reason for it as there are only four stock tires. Also no provision for a spare, which wouldn't have a wheel cover anyway. Here they are all re-chromed, detail painted and ready to install. I noticed that that strange saw-tooth looking distortion in the spokes is also resolved. I'm glad I took the time to do this. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment. David G.

Looks fabulous so far! David G.

That's a bummer about the issue with the fit of interior but at least it was a fixable problem. Fixing issues is one of the joys of model building. After all, if they went together too easily, they'd be puzzles. David G.

Excellent progress on this one. I continue to be amazed by the detail you're adding. David G.

Lowering seems to improve the profile. Looks to be an interesting build. David G.

OK I'll play. Here's one I built recently. AMT's 65 Malibu Wagon And my work car. David G.

Beautiful work on both trucks, love the color. David G.

Very cool! Reminds me of all the fun I had going to the truck and tractor pull events at the various fairs back in Ohio where I grew up. David G.

Looks fantastic, love the color! David G.

Nicely Done! David G.
