John, As everyone has said it WOW!! Love the weathering. bobthehobbyguy

Neat idea. Looks like a hot rod show car that Fred Flintstone would have. bobthehobbyguy

Really nice. The revised front wheel wells look a lot better. So much has been done to 49 merc's but I think a great fresh idea. Keep up the good work. Any thoughts on color? bobthehobbyguy

Just found this thread. Great idea. Looking forward to see this one progress. bobthehobbyguy

John, Great model. We now now the secret of how you build so fast you've got 3 hands I see the shot holding of you holding the hood and taking the picture. bobthehobbyguy

Very nice. Great job. Like the base and the tire smoke. Modeling at it best. Fun! bobthehobbyguy

John, This is killer. It is over the top. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Great job. Another great model. This is really what the hobby is all about. Having fun. Looking forward to seeing what your next creation will be. bobthehobbyguy

No it was the single seater. If you do a search on google you can see pictures. Its all engine with a drivers seat behind it and a couple of axles. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, How about a blue pearl or metallic? Maybe stripes like the grandsport corvette. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, This is over the top. Love the hog head. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, if he has a board in one hand how about a beer or a drink in the other? bobthehobbyguy

Very cool keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Glad to hear that you are using the cord windshield. I think it fits the lines of the corvette. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this one. bobthehobbyguy

To me they fun to build. That is what this hobby is all about. I build a large range of models from highly detailed to whimsical. Also if you look at some of the "cartoon builds" there are some that have alot of scratchbuilding to get the look right. I enjoy watching these builds come together as much as the highly detailed projects that have been posted. Also to the question of whether or not serious subjects were put on the back burner for the cartoon kits that may be the case but also how many modelers got started with these kits. Finally build what you enjoy and have fun along the way. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Glad you are back on this one. Don't know your plans for the windshield are but I think that a duval style windshield would fit the design.. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

The weird thing is on the same page another model of the same type with different box art is buy it now for $70. The problem with this is that some bozo will think that all of his stuff can be valued at theses silly prices. Also as it was said with the seller really get this price? Personally if I was going to sell I will find a local show to sell. The fees for ebay are too much and there is too much chance for fraud the way things are set up. bobthehobbyguy

Very cool. Just saw this thread. bobthehobbyguy

Glad to hear that you will finish it . Its a neat idea. Model building is a learning experience and we do the most learning from our mistakes and I have to say you learned a lot from this model. Get this finished and then try to avoid making the same mistakes that the next one. Looking forward to seeing this finished. bobthehobbyguy

Like the idea. I vote for the wheels and tires in the mockup. In fact I've seen some pictures of rats using them. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Brett, Looks great will be following. What chassis are you using with the camaro? bobthehobbyguy

Very nice work. Looking forward to seeing it painted. bobthehobbyguy

John, No new updates. Have you stalled out? Looking forward to see how you do the graphics. bobthehobbyguy

Really cool. Great job. bothehobbyguy
