Excellent idea with the hood hinges. I might have tacked it lightly with a couple tiny dabs of museum wax. David G.

Nice work on the roof. Do you plan to leave it open or cover it? David G.

Good to have you back! I hope everything is alright. David G.

Thanks Dann! It's been slow going on this one recently; the Wife was on vacation last week so I've been a bit more time with her. I should be able to get back into my own rhythm soon. David G.

You're off to a great start! Always remember that each model that you build is really only practice for the next one. David G.

Thanks for the update. I'm afraid that I've run out of superlatives. Your work on this kit is beyond amazing. BTW: Craft sticks, are those roughly the same thing as popsicle sticks? David G.

I have to say that I'm impressed with your dedication to this project as well as the results of your effort. Keep up the good work Eric. David G.

Interesting fusion. In my mind, I'm not so sure that the sweep of the Chevy roof-line mates well with the blockiness of the Caddy side panels. I'm very curious, I'll be watching to see how this one works out. David G.

Wow! An impressive amount of work for a mediocre kit. Well done, so far. I can't wait to see how this one turns out. David G.

An interesting kit. Great work with it so far! David G.

Great looking Bel Air! I agree regarding the wheels, chrome steelies or Western Smoothies. David G.

Excellent work! Could easily be taken for a 1:1. David G.

Nicely Done! Great color choice. David G.

This is shaping up quite nicely! David G.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out Dax, I'm glad you like it. I thought about adding a .50 cal or two but I don't have any in the parts box right now and they would kind of dwarf the car and disrupt the lines. I'm seeing this as more of a Sunday dragstrip expo car. Thanks and keep up the great work! David G.

Excellent work so far! David G.

Hi Dann, Any updates on this one? David G.

Looks great so far, can't wait to see more! David G.

Hi Dax It's great to see you working on another of your Jet Cars. I've always liked oddball Sci-Fi and Retro Future design. I find your work fascinating. Your Jet Cars are part of the inspiration behind my Karma Bug project. In case you're interested, I've included a link to the build thread. Keep up the great work Dax! David G.

OK, back to our regularly scheduled program. The color is Testors Extreme Lacquer Root Beer #1848 sprayed from a can. I've used Testors spray-can enamel before with less than optimal results, so I was reluctant to try their lacquer. As far as I can remember this is the first time I've used Testors Lacquer and I have to say that I'm fairly pleased with the results. The paint laid down smooth and even and dried fairly quickly. Testors enamel on the other hand will go on smoothly but rather thickly and can take days to dry and weeks to cure... in my experience. That's all for now. Thanks again for all the support and feedback. David G.

All the detail you added to the, I guess it would be the quarterdeck, reminds me of some of those hillside cities in Brazil. With quite a bit less chaos though. David G.

I just discovered this thread and I've thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the work you've done to this kit. Well done sir! David G.

You're off to a great start! Do you have a source in mind for the Mustang taillights? David G.

Excellent attempt on the hinges! It's a shame that they wouldn't work out... for this build. Now that you have the experience of working things through on this project, you'll be that much further ahead if you ever want to use those on a future build. David G.

The wheels look sharp! I always consider "wheels on the ground" the unofficial half way point of the build. David G.
