I am totally in awe of this! The details just are mind blowing! This Shelby is just fantastic!

Great looking Fairlane, Jim!!! I have one to build for my Club's show in October, any way I want.

Thank you Joe!

Thank you guys for the nice comments! Every once in a great while, someone will resurrect one of my old builds and comment on it. This one was completed over four years ago and it still looks great sitting on my display shelf. It s by no means a show winner, but it is a winner at home.

Thank you guys! As far as I know, no one makes this in 1/6 scale. To me, 1/6 scale is a bit of an odd scale versus 1/8 or 1/10 scale or even 1/12 or 1/16 scale. Good luck in your search. Foiling helps cover part of the mask line. I'd rather paint everything first, then foil afterwards. For me, cleaning paint from foil is a pain and something I really don't want to do.

Thank you Greg...ah...Stray...ah...whatever your name is! lol

Thanks Bill and Hector!

Thank you Pete and Gene!

Every '20-'30s era rod that I have seen has had a chrome grille in front of the radiator. I can't envision this rod with a black radiator showing. I also considered applying a black wash to the grille, but dropped that idea because I like the shiny chrome grille instead.

Thank you, guys! This kit was built mostly out-of-box with a few changes made to suit myself. Yes, Harry. I tried the window from the inside, but I didn't like it. I glued it in from the outside since it visually looked better to my eye.

This the Revell '30 Ford Model A Touring Street Rod painted with Testors Inca Gold One Coat Lacquer with a white interior, wired engine, and a lowered suspension. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y224/mrmike007/30%20Ford%20Model%20A%20Touring%20Street%20Rod/30ModelA40.jpg[/img

Thanks Darryl, Joseph, Daniel, Kevin, and Joe. I used Testors Gold Metallic enamel. I wasn't sure if it was going to totally correct, but i used it anyway.

Thank you Tony and Roy!

Thank you Cliff and Joe!

Thanks Roy and Mike! I got second place in the Shelf Models Factory Stock class at the MASSCAR Show on March 15. Not bad for someone who went in to this competition without any expectations! To celebrate, I bought myself a mirrored display stand.

Thank you guys! The nice comments mean a lot to me. This Boss 302 is off to the MASSCAR show today so we shall see how this one stacks up against others.

Thanks guys! I usually put a license plate on after I finish the car, but I need to print up a new batch.

Thank you guys for the kind words and praise! Sometimes I just have to build it like it is on the box art and I was fortunate enough to be able to find a paint color that was close to the factory color without having to special order it from the aftermarket or from the dealer.

This is my 2013 Boss 302 Mustang. Painted with Tamiya TS-52 Candy Lime Green with Tamiya TS-48 Gunship Grey interior. Built mostly box stock, but I changed the air filter canister to an open element air filter from the 2008 Mustang Bullitt.

Thank you Jonathan!

Thank you Dan!

Thank you guys! This build gave me fits with the paint issues that I encountered. It is not the kit's fault...it's all mine! In the end, it turned out quite well and it now resides on my bookcase shelf.

Thank you guys! Every now and then I get an AMT kit that just doesn't want to go together and when I started this build, I was sure that this was one of them. I choose to build the Tudor out-of-box with only having to dive into my parts box for an exhaust system and when it was completed, I had a great looking model and so far, the response from the members of my model club and you wonderful folks have been very positive. Thanks!

This is my '40 Ford Tudor Street Rod built from the AMT '39/'40 Ford Tudor Custom Tudor Sedan kit that I bought at an auction of a deceased Classic Plastic Model Club member collection of kits. The body is painted with Testors Lime Ice One Coat Lacquer with Model Master Acryl Leather interior. Built mostly out of box with the addition of an exhaust system from my parts box.

Looking good Jeff! Where did you get the hood scoop? I have the same kit and I would like to have one for mine. I'll be watching...
