Thanks Dave.. The fender skirts have an extra piece of styrene laminated on the bottom half to allow for the curvature of the skirt. This was done with making a pattern first out of those subscription cards that fall out of magazines. After making the skirts I glued thin styrene tabs on them and glued them on from the inside. I didn't paint or prime them separately because there has to be a seam when installed. Mine are the flush mounted type as aposed to bubble type skirts that cover the wheel well all together.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Dogs are unrenlentless loyal creatures.

You are right about the mold lines..it's an old kit. I converted mine from a delivery into a wagon. Keeping an eye on your build ...I haven't seen many built. here is my build link...http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=57717&hl= James aka Joker

Don't call it a comeback I been here for years Rockin my peers and puttin suckas in fear Makin the tears rain down like a MON soon L.L. Cool-J great work !

Great looking workhorse ! Chrome don't make it go. Interior and bed details rock !

The 37 Ford truck has a set with wide white walls in 1/25th scale.

Realistic survivor 32 Thor Not a rat but rather a hot rod pushed to the back of the shop.

There must be something in the water in Sonoma County. Are those teeth in the blower scoop !

Something wicked this way comes !

Quality imagineering ! Well Done piece of art.

Assembly line fresh ! Like the quality control grease pencil marks on the chassis and engine bay. Top shelf Jon

Congrats ! ! !

Third time is NOT the charm. I might be able to rescue the third set of scallops with a small brush and thinned out black paint.On a good note...the shifter was replaced with a candy cane tear drop..replaced the brass knuckle shifter.LOL Detailed a record player for the trunk in the same white pearl and mirrored lid. James aka Joker

I personaly like the survivor look. It exudes class without having a "rat" look. thanks for posting James aka Joker

John.. E P I C ! James aka Joker

Big thanks for the encouragements. A little update..made the rims fit tighter in the tire..big improvement ! Got some 26 gauge red insulated wire and piped the interior and spare tire cover. Still having a time with the red scallops...sanded them off and recleared the body...a third time. I have got to get some vynil fine line..the blue masking tape won't do curves right...grrrr Any hoo..here are some new pixs.. @ Tim R. thanks..I've seen the "found" car over at H.A.M.B. the Alexander Bros. are standing next to it. Rest in Peace Larry James aka Joker

Ok John... take a deep breath and start thinking about the custom case, to take this masterpiece to the shows. Thank you for sharing your building talent with us mortals. James aka Joker

Geez....I better hurry up my 56..having some trouble with the scallops. Redid them twice already. As far as the side window..use some clear packaging plastic, glue it on with clear acrylic paint. Everything ties up really good..paint,interior,rim/tire combo. Great stance on your 56 Ford Shane James aka Joker

Thanks for the links..I spent over an hour...LOL

I really appreciate the combo you got going. My mind sees a show car hauler and the show car too. Keep up the good work..I can see the final concept.
