Over hill, over Dale off to find another model car sale.

Nicely done. The color looks great in the sunlight. Came out great.

Nice work. Cool looking kit. Very clean.

Any more progress on this cool project?

Great project. I've have one of these as a stalled project. The molded frame has been an issue. Never thought about using the 29 roadster fenders. Definitely will be watching.

I would say a group thank you to all who respond is appropriate. If people make the effort to.make a comment then it should be acknowledged In the same fashion. To me responding to each is overkill. Hopefully when people respond they will give some feedback on what they like about it. As far as using the thank you tag remember it works two ways. If you respond with a thank you tag you may just find that's how they will respond to a post and you may get no more than a like tag. Just a thought.

Nicely done. Really polished up nicely.

I would say responding to a group of posters is better.

Yup. Prep work is the foundation for every build. Especially if you intend to enter contests or craftsmanshipship is important to you. The basics are the most Important along with making sure every piece is perfect.

Carl you are one of the members who use the board as it was intended. You also practice civility towards others(A LOST ART THESE DAYS.)

Definitely a cool project. As far as the purists models are for building how you want to. There are no rules. A unbuilt model is just a blank canvas to work with.

My vote is choice 1. Given the green I think the inner rim would look gold. Just a thought.

Carl please continue to build models a d frequent the site for as long as it it is enjoyable for you. Your presence definitely enhances the site.

Hang in there Carl. If you can derive pleasure from modeling then continue. The pleasure of building is the most important thing. Please hang around as long as you can, you help make this an enjoyable place to come to.

Nicely done. T h e lamps are a great idea.

I think it would be helpful if you could show the green you are using as it's how to judge how the wheel color would look with the rims colors. Love this project. I have a Johan pikes peak tornado( missing a chassis) and am considering doing something similar.

As I see it you have to choose the material that best suits what is being built. Really don't see brass would be better than styrene in this case. The grill is very impressive.

Factory sealed kits will hold their values for collectors. The price for open kits and rebuilds will lose their values.

It's going to look great in paint. You are right not rushing to get to paint you need to make sure everything is right first.

Nicely done.

Sometimes you really got to laugh at the silliness of people. Ah the power of social media. Near riot over spoiled food. You can't make this stuff up. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/state/texas/article272082417.html

Some great enhancements. Great fab and detail work.

Holes are drilled to lighten drag cars.

Nicely done.

Coming along nicely.
