I concur with the others here, a very clean sharp build! Did you lay down gold or silver for the base coat? Very smooth paint job Dude! The rear panel, I use Plaid or Apple Barrel craft paints, in layers, slightly watered, they are easy to use for detailing. Just a tip and cheap too! Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

It is a very "sharp" build indeed! Yes, I noticed the "green/blue wonder why" as well? I just watched all three movies last week! Great movies, Great Actor! Thanks for sharing! Later Russ

Love the banter ha ha ha I have the very same resin from Jimmy too. It sure do look purty! I would like to know what kind of sanding you had to do to get the interior tub to fit inside there? To me it looks like a lot? help? Thanks for sharing! Later Dude Russ

If "Cranky" likes it, Dude, your in like Flint! Looks great, super build, nice subject too! Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

Super nice build Man! Just too cool and it was a kit?!?! Hey Lindbergh, can you say "RE-POP!!" I knew they could, now if only they "would"!?! Thank You for sharing! Later Dude Russ

Love the theme on this build! I am gonna use a '69 Mercury Cyclone for my "runner". And I really appreciate the back stories and all the photos too! "Thunder Road" with Robert Mitchum is a GREAT movie as well! Sorry to hear about Popcorn! He sounded like a Man to have known! Thank You for sharing! I am watching this one for sure! Later Russ

Very Nice Build. And, Yes, It would be nice to have the Pace car, "hey jimmy anybody, resin cast?!?!" The movie is cool too, Charlies' answer to Martins', "California Kid", I guess? (and if you can get by randy quaids' sheriff!) HA Those are some wild rides in that movie! Thanks for sharing! Later Russ

I cannot help but echo everyone else here, but, "Awesome,Truly,Awesome Man!" What wax do you use after the decals go down? Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

Welcome to the Board! Nice start you have there too! I am very interested in your grille modifications as well! I was favoring your Hawaiian blue, but, I must say your choice of the green base then topping it with a clear orange have me wondering . . . . This is the place to build, so Happy building and have "FUN!" Thank You for sharing! Later Dude Russ

:D Hey Roger! Thanks for the info on the build of Sean Dencon, Matt Conte has a '75 build too! Later Russ

Nice paint work Dude! Caine440(Roger) directed me this way, I have a '71 that is on the "list". I will be watching your build as well! Thanks for sharing! Later Russ

Hey Brian! Cool Build, looks like you will be busy. I got a '76 on the list, not sure how I want to go with it, low rider or Impala conversion? I will be watching to see what you do. Thanks for sharing! Later Russ

Looks good as a rusted rat! Thanks for sharing! Later Russ

Thanks for sharing! I like it, I have a plastic Hemi boat waiting to be customized into the "Batboat" sometime ha Later Russ

Yes, I too, am along with the others on your frame work!! How did you do the bends? I am very interested as I have, among other builds, a GMC Sonoma, that I am gonna Slam and Trick and what-ever outta it! Your frame technique will be a much needed source for the building there of! Nice little build you got going there too! Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

That is one awesome frame job Man! Talk about your time and patients! You have got to have nerves of "STEEL!!" WOW!! Great build! Thank you for sharing! Will be watching, if my "nerves" can take it! Later Russ

Sorry to hear of your troubles, very glad all is better Very glad to see your back on forum, was getting a bit despondent over your where-a-bouts! I was missing your teachings very much! I have learned much from you and your building skills! Really digging your '49 build, as I have several of them in the wings waiting for completion! Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

WELCOME DUDE!! Your here, your building, your having fun and remember to take everything with a grain of salt, that way you can brush it off your shoulder! Watch everyone, take notes, and "remember", to have fun! Your doing very well! Man, I am still learning and taking notes! Everything you can learn is an improvement to your skills! And I am learning new things in this hobby every time I watch these forums! There are alot of good builders here on the site just take some time to look around and you will find them. Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

Best of Luck on the Build Man! I too have an AMT '71 Duster that is going to be Pro Stocked, following your build may prove to be very valuable in mine! Thank You for sharing! Later Russ

Sweet paint work! You have given me the push to try it! Thanks for sharing! Oh,I have an Iwata double action and a Badger single. Later Russ

"AH, I LOVE THE SMELL OF MPOARS IN THE MORNING!!!" Your detailing work on this build looking great! I will be going along for the ride! Thank You for sharing Dude! Awesome Build! Later Russ

Nice paint and decals Man! I have an AMT '53 Ford that will be customed and I was thinking about Krylon copper, scallops, red and white( not to fond of decal pain, will be air brushing,Thanks Cranky!)with a pearl coat. Thank You for showing me the "look"! Awesome Man! Later Russ

Just had a thought on the grille, maybe a reworked '41 Plymouth grille? Later Russ
