Ira, Looks great in primer. What color are you going to use Can't wait to see more. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, This just gets better and better. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Just found this one and all I can say is really cool. You come up with some interesting ideas and use some interesting kits to make it work. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to see this at the NNL West. Bobthehobbyguy

John, Very impressive. Can't believe you start this 5 days ago. Love all of the scratchbuilding on this. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Just found this thread. Really cool. Any thought on colors yet? bobthehobbyguy

Jbwelda, Did you ever get this painted? I've pulled my surfite out and building it. Your build has been helpful with me building mine. bobthehobbyguy

John, Very nice job. 2 questions. How much did you z the frame? near the firewall Did you modify the front suspension at all? bobthehobbyguy

Very nice. bobthehobbyguy

Rom, Have you stalled out on this? I've was enjoying following this build. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, Glad it worked. I think there may have been a coating to keep the brass from tarnishing. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to see this done. Bobthehobbyguy

Chris, How did you prep the pieces? Try cleaning them with lacquer thinner and then sanding the brass with 400 or 800 sand paper then clean them with thinner again. Might be something on the brass that is keeping the blacken it from working right. bobthehobbyguy

I actually like the two tail lights myself. I'd suggest painting some masking tape with primer and cover one of the tail lights and take a picture and post the two photos for comparison. Another thought I know you already reworked the exhaust but how about mimicing the shape of the tail lights. Just a thought. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Great work so far. Like the idea that you are working to match the our picture shows a roof. Are you planning to add that also. Bob

Really nice. Cool looking build. Clean building style. Looking forward to seeing this completed. bobthehobbyguy

Any idea why these are so much more than the first set? I paid $10 at my lLHS for the first set. bobthehobbyguy

Nice work so far. What chassis are you using? bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Like what you've added. Not sure if you are planning it but I think you need to add the peak in on the top of the roof. It fits with the cord windshield. bobthehobbyguy

] 01blueedge, How about doing the firewall up with signs like you did with the interior. I've seen it done for floorboards but not firewalls. Just a thought. bobthehobbyguy

Looks good. Any ideas on what color its going to be? Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Nice job. Also like the idea of you doing another with a corvair engine. I can see that fitting in the lines. bobthehobbuyguy

Chris, Hoping you can get some bench time soon. I'm having withdrawal from not seeing updates. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this fantastic model. bobthehobbyguy

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
