A beautiful vintage dragster, lots of great detail. I love it! David G.

It looks cool, can't wait to see the final pics. David G.

It's coming together quite nicely. David G.

That still blows my mind! David G.

Looks great! You got that masking line cleaned up very nicely. David G.

Clever work on the radiator shell! David G.

Holy Cow! ? I am so glad to see this build back in the light of day Steve! It's a shame about the lost part but I don't think you'll allow that to slow you down for long. I'm sure they will turn up once you build the replacements! Isn't that the way it always seems to go? David G.

Hello Everybody! This will be the final photo post for this build. The next set will be posted in the "Under Glass" section. The two giant "Plymouth" decals are where they belong. As garish and gaudy as they are, they don't seem to me to be the least bit out of place. Let's face it, the whole idea of this car is to be a bit of an over-the-top attention grabber. And in that it certainly succeeds. These are the last two bits that I needed to do to finish this build. Now I'll complete the final assembly, clean it up and get the final photos shot and processed. Thanks to all of you who followed along and encouraged me with your comments. I do so enjoy your feedback and support. David G.

Thank you for your kind comment Jeremy. Thank you David. I' rather pleased with the way this one is turning out. It does have a nice rake, doesn't it? David G.

Hello Everybody! This one will be done soon, I'm in the final stages of of the build. In this build session I applied the minor decals. These side marker light decals are designed to replicate the colored lens as well as the metal bezel that surrounds it. The only problem is that this makes the decals a little over sized when it comes to getting them to settle into the indented relief of the lens. Multiple applications of Micro Sol eventually got them where they needed to be. I do like the way they look versus just painting the lenses red and amber. The "Roadrunner" badge came from the kit decals and the other two, a cartoon Roadrunner and dealership badge are from @Superbird McMonte by way of the Model Cars Magazine discussion board, (Thank You! ). Revell also provided decals for the locks on the trunk and doors but I decided that dotting them with a silver Sharpie would be the easier way to go. The "Plymouth" script on the back was also colored with a silver Sharpie instead of using the kit-supplied decals. I think I'll do one more post in the WIP section then wrap it up. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment if the muse so moves you. David G.

Thank you Chaz. This has been one of my more challenging "simple" builds. David G.

Thank you Chaz! I'm in the process of wrapping this one up, more photos soon. David G.

What a phenomenal and inspirational build! Thank you for taking the time to document and share your adventure with us. David G.

Excellent build! The paint and assembly are fabulous. David G.

A beautiful build Louis! Your use of washes and tinting on the metal parts is excellent as is the detail you've included. The cab lighting is a great addition that really helps to show the detail. Fabulous! David G.

It's such a cool project, I hope you can get back to it soon. David G.

Good progress on this Bill. David G.

Thank you Carl, I appreciate your kind comment. David G.

Thank you Steve. It's nice to know that someone's watching. David G.

Looks great Chaz! An excellent classic hotrod build, love the color combination! David G.

Looks great! Nice color combination. David G.

A gorgeous build, everything looks spot-on. David G.

What a cool build! It's nice seeing something different once in a while. The working pop-ups are a nice touch. David G.

Hello Everybody! I'm beginning to feel as if I may finish this one this year. It would be nice to have one more off the workbench and in the display case, here's hoping. To the naked eye, the color of the hood panels looks like a good match to the rest of the body. The camera however seems to tell a different story. Maybe it's just the lighting, maybe they could use another coat of paint. I'll have to think about it. The hood fit will be addresses during final installation. The boot lid color however, does match quite nicely to the body. As does the seam where the two panels meet. I plan on gluing in place as I can see no reason to be able to open it. As always, thanks for your interest and please feel free to share any thoughts or opinions. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's a bit more progress on the Rolls. The boot lid is nearly finished. The modifications I made to reduce and even up the gap between the lid and the body have been smoothed and blended to my satisfaction and we're ready for the final primer coat and paint. The paint went on well but it will certainly need a second coat after a bit of color sanding. I just dropped the boot lid in place for a quick color match comparison so it's not properly seated which is why the fit isn't great. But yeah, we definitely need a second coat. As always, thanks for taking your time to have a look. If you want to take a little more time to post a comment, please feel free to do so. David G.
