Thank you Carl. Thanks Craig, I'm glad you like it. Thanks again Túlio! David G.

You're making some good Darren. It's nice to see this one again. David G.

You always have the best paint jobs Túlio! Love the diorama too. Excellent work as always. David G.

Looks good. David G.

Looks good! David G.

Beyond expectations! Amazing work. David G.

Thanks Steve. Thank you Bruce, I'm rather pleased with the way it all turned out. Thank you David. I tend to favor stock builds these days, at least for now. Thank you Túlio, knowing the quality of work you do, that means much to me. Thanks Rick, I tend to look at the beginning or the end of the story. Everything in the middle I leave to others. Thank you Bo. I'm going to be away from the board for a few days spending some time with the Wifey- should be back Thursday or Friday with a new project in the works. Thanks again and see you all later. David G.

Love the engine detail. David G.

Amazing work, you nailed it! David G.

Excellent work, love the color! David G.

Thanks Mike. Thank you Donald Thanks Sam, I just couldn't use that... thing... that AMT provided as a spare wheel kit. Thank you Jay. Thank you Don, couldn't change it if I wanted. Thank you Bernard, it's nice of you to say so. Thanks Chris, David G.

I had one of these kits when I was 12 or 13 years old. I don't recall that I finished building it but I do remember that I enjoyed working on it. When I found this kit at a swap meet a few months ago, I just had to get it and take another shot at it. If you're interested, the "On The Workbench" build thread is here. On with the show! Beauty Shot. I had to manufacture a front license plate mount for the front plate... which I also made on my printer. Here is the spare wheel and cover that I put together, donated to the parts box from some long-lost kit. Worm's Eye View. Safe at home in the display case. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and always feel free to comment. David G.

Excellent engine and interior detail! David G.

Excellent work! Everything is spot-on! David G.

Good rescue, nicely done! David G.

Love the color, excellent work on the wood.. work. David G.

Finished now! Grabbed a quick snap last night. I'll post more in the "Under Glass" section soon. Thank you all for your support and kind comments, I do appreciate the feedback. David G.

Thanks Mark. I just couldn't live with the one that came in the kit. It just seemed... wrong. I tend to favor stock builds- a custom or hot rod Deuce is almost a cliche'. Thanks for your comment Bob. Hello Mike and thank you. If you mean the wood on the dashboard, I painted it with Poly Scale Rust, which has been discontinued, but any medium brown acrylic will do. After it dried, I used a brown fine-point Sharpie and made some light lines on the paint to simulate wood grain. The initial lines were a little too dark for my liking so I moistened a cotton swab with rubbing alcohol and dabbed and rolled until the lines looked the way I wanted them to. If you are asking about the wood on the undercarriage, I painted it with a rattle can and used a thin black wash then weathered it with Black and brown pastels. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Looks like excellent work so far. "Makin' a silk purse from a sow's ear." as the saying goes. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

That is sweet! Top notch all the way! David G.

The original food truck, cool! David G.

Looks Great! David G.

OK, Vicky the Deuce is pretty much done. I just have to place the bumpers and a few other little fiddly bits then get some good photos. In the meantime, this should be about the last update before going "Under Glass". The spare wheel and license bracket are finished. A little rough, but finished. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.
