Yeah, that says it all...to each their own, I'm not a fan of such horrible craftsmanship. Nothing there to be proud of. I can appreciate a well done rat rod even if they're not my thing but really bad craftsmanship, no excuse for it...??⚰

In the wild, wild west

And to think that the American citizens were stupid enough to believe Ralph Nader and his crusade against the Corvair which unlike this "thing" was not unsafe at anyspeed...I would be too ashamed to let anyone see the uncraftsmanship in this deathtrap...?????

Yeah, three strikes and he's out!!!

First, beautiful, accurate work!!! You're a true modeler to percervier to the end of such a difficult creation and I admire you for that. My dad drove 72 and 75 Impalas and my sister had a 73 Bel Air. Brings back a boat load of memories. Thank you for sharing your work.????????

She's gorgeous, Jay!!! All your conversion work flows beautifully!!! And...great photography as well!!!??????????

Absolutely beautiful replica!!! Fantastic detail work throughout!!!?????????

What an encouraging thread!!! I have always felt like my striving to make my builds perfect has been an issue I couldn't ever overcome. Both of my younger brothers have a load of finished models and I have only a few. I guess it's a blessing in a way because I will always strive to achieve perfection if only to please myself. I finished my DeFoosed Cadillac recently for a contest. I pushed myself to finish it and it won first in custom class but I'm not very proud of the model because I did a less than perfect job on it. I will always see that build as a reminder to go for perfection whether or not the project gets finished. Great encouragement from all of you perfectionists on the forum.??

Sweet build, looks beautiful in red!!! Very nicely done!!!?????????

It's what everyone else has said and it's just plain cool!!!?????????

I'm glad to see this one back on your bench. It is looking ever so sweet with each step completed. I look forward to seeing more. By the way, the chrome looks flawless.?????????

I got ya...been so long I've forgotten about the Vette wheels.

Yeah buddy, that looks like nothing but pure fun!!!?????????

Those sound like the open two piece wheels from the AMT66 Ford Galaxie. They may have been in other kits as well but this is the one I'm sure of.??

...and the embossing powder for carpet and resin casting supplies!!! I'm thankful to have several Michaels and Hobby Lobby's in my world. If you spend a little time perusing the store it's really a pretty cool place to shop for supplies, maybe not so much for kits. Online you can get some amazing deals on kits from Spotlight Hobbies and fast, too!!!

Model A all the way!!!

Very well done engine and interior, James!!! The body looks awesome in black!!!?????????

Fantastic build!!! I love the new direction and the wheel/tire tutorial!!! Thanks, Dennis!!!?????????

Absolutely gorgeous in every way!!! ?????????

Every one of your '40 Fords are gorgeous, Tulio, and you're an amazing builder!!! I really enjoy your builds!!!?????????
