Hey Steve, Good thing were all so used to wearing masks as with all the body mods and sanding your doing the dust cloud must be something to see!! haha But seriously your work speaks for itself. Look forward to color!

Hey Steve, Impressed with speed/quality of this conversion! Looking forward to finished product. My vote for wheels would be #1

I applaud you Bil for this undertaking! Are local club did this for the Deuce Days back in 2019 and we as a group built all the variations of the venerable 32.

Great Job David, Love the attention to detail especially spraying all the interior red. Most including me skip this step. Love the tip about the decals. Thats why mine are all glossy paint jobs when I do the pinstripes:) I got lazy when I did mine and its just a curbside.

Hi Bob this was a built up that I got from someone so no box but it is the revell/ monogram kit it that helps

Thanks Thanks Oliver, I really like your version as well.

Hi Dennis, Thanks for the comments. I love your work so for you to comment on mine it’s appreciated Thanks so much Thanks I’m glad you like it Thanks Phil, Hoping you can see it in person at Gord’s if all goes well Thanks so much Thanks Roger. Maybe you should try one and it may become a favourite

Thanks much Hi Bob, Thanks for the comment. Hey Claude, Thanks for the comment. Thankfully like I said it was built pretty cleanly before but long enough ago the glue was brittle and didn't make a mess! Thanks Hey Tim, Glad you like it. As for colors the blue is called intermediat blue from Mr Color and the red was a custom mix from an auto paint store. I wanted an oxblood type color and have used it a few times on builds Thanks very much appreciate the comment

Hi All, Calling this one done! Although all during the build phase there are always some gremlins show up in final assembly. I started with a pretty nice built up that was disassembled cleanly and then incorporated the Smoothster chassis and drive train. The two main mods were firewall, interior floor and the running boards under the covers had to be cut out for clearance. I noticed a bit of a trend using military type paint colours so that’s what I tried with this build. Lastly I used a staggered set of Pegasus wheels and tires. Thanks for looking

Hey Tom. Real nice start! I assume this is the car your trying to replicate? You beat me to it!

Hi Bernard, thanks for the interest. The wire wheels are indeed machined with photo etch spokes but I can’t remember who buy as for the highboy they are the kit wheels but with dullcote sprayed over the chrome. As for the green highboy it is a replica of Sid Chavers ride. The Duvall is indeed from the phantom Vickie and the up top is heavily modified from the same kit. Russ

Just found this thread. Heres my contributions

Looks real nice Phil! If the gathering at Gord's happens there will be lots of models to show off maybe even have to bring out the flashlights to make sure we see them all:)

Small update. A mock up of colour combo, just to make sure I like it.

So a little update. Thanks for all comments. R&M replicas Cadillac taillights frenched into stock position. Redo of interior floor pan to accommodate larger trans and engine assembled into chassis. next should be primer stage!

Hey fellow modellers, This is my first works in progress and hoping that by posting it makes me finish this kit. It is the stock 37 body and fenders but the twist is I’m using the Boyd Smoothster chassis and running gear. It is also going to dressed in Pegasus wheels and tires to fill wheel wells better! As for colour it will be inspired by the Impala in the pics, so grey body black roof with red interior. Thanks for looking.

Well Done Phil! Glad you got the finish you were after. Car looks great! Look forward to seeing in person hopefully soon

Great work so far Nigel. I have the Tamiya version of this kit to do and after I saw the car in Safari Gold decision made for me. Keep up the good work, Russ

Hey Scott, Thanks for the comment. Yes, those cars were made in resin with a couple of different liveries . I have both but yet to build.... one day! Russ

WOW Phil! love it, really like the way your paint turned out. Always love your attention to the subjects you build. Russ

Nice job Tom! Really like those wire wheels. Sure wish the base kit for your build was still available from Revell.

Looking great Steve! Can’t wait to see it finished.

Great job Bruce! I have built a lot of race car kits and I to enjoy the decal process the best. Main thing I’ve learned when applying is patience, patience, patience! Russ

Thanks Steve, R&M stuff is top notch Thanks for liking Thanks Phil, took a long time but happy I percervered. Thanks for the nice words. Thanks, those are the areas I wanted to focus on. Glad you liked Thanks for the nice words and I also wish for it to issued again as lots more ideas in my head:)

Great job Luke! Wish I could get a black paint job looking that good. Do you use the can or airbrush and how many coats do you use?
