Harry did you change your mind about starting this?

I like D Bills the best. A the exhaust and scoop look out of place B the unfinished look is fine if its in progress but not as the final look also the frame doesnt work for me C don't like the patina look and don't approve of the flag, mexican blanket is fine do like engine look

Ouch. What did that poor car hit?

Nice start. The changes really suit the car. Changing the door lines makes a big difference.

Very nice work. Love the idea of displaying the car in its various stages.

Very clean. Great color choice.

Nice paintwork on the valve covers. Really look like metal.

Looking good. Can't overemphasize having a well organized work area.

Nicely done.

Very cool. What was the source for the engine?

Another great race car coming together.

Nice work.

Amen Bill. Truly sums this all up.

Unfortnately we are partially responsible for this mess. We are all looking for the cheapest without considering the true cost of our actions. We all lament the loss of full service hobby shops however we go to Walmart to save a few bucks. The few bucks you save comes at the cost of convenience, full array of paints and supplies like evergreen plastic, and a knowledgeable staff.

The irony is the current business model doesn't have to be. Henry Ford realized that he needed to pay his workers enough, they could afford to buy the cars they were building. There was a two fold benefit more sales and pride in what they were doing. He wasn't doing it without reason. Sadly this concept has been lost.

True but it is not all on the employees companies like Walmart play the game well and engineer it so some have to get food stamps and aid to just survive. Walmart is the worst thing that's happened to this country. Poor jobs and look at the volumes of goods that come from China and such. The sad things is as Bill said nobody seems to care what is heppening to us. But the day of reckoning will come and then they will care but it wil be too late.

The only problem I see is robots don't get paid and therefore don't pay taxes. And since the robots are probably made in China theres no tax dollars being generated from labor except for installations. No good can come from the idea of automating everything.

Bill that true. But for the most part it is understaffing. The bean counters are so worried about cutting costs the miss the point that they are losing sales. I will not tolerate poor service.

Coming together nicely.

Lack of customer service. Had to make a run to get a bottle of liqour. First store only 2 checkstands open and 3 in each line with a weeks grocery. No quick ckeck only the self check which you can't buy acohol. They lost the sale just wasn't going to out up with it, Drive a block to CVS drugstore and no one at counter you have ring a bellvto get a clerk to serve. This is the new idea of customer service and it sucks. The art of customer service has truly been lost.

Nice group.

Double wow. Absolutely amazing.

Really wild. Killer scratchbuilding

I always look at door lines and the tires which in case made me think real.

Would like to see Revell partner with Rad Rods by Troy and also Steve Moal.
