  8. Thank you, I wanted to have it done by then, but knew better than to rush it.
  9. was inspired by a build in this past December issue, when I saw it on the cover, I bought that mag out of curiosity and it was one of the deciding factors of me recently picking back up the hobby. love the overall look of that build, so I decided to build it, but want to add my own flair. The basics. Revell 32 5 window kit chopped up the rear of the chassis, replaced crossmember and rear axle from the revell 40 ford kit. rear tires from AMT 66 riviera, fronts from lindburg 53 ford, lucked out that the whitewall inserts from the 53 fit into the Riviera tires, so I am able to use the wheels from the 53 kit as well. Paint is drying on the motor, but it is the caddy motor from the revell 49 merc kit, with the manual trans from the 32 kit just like the magazine build. Ill post pics of the motor and color tomorrow. today, we see the overall stance. thanks for looking
  10. And I think this one is done... First build I have completed in well over a decade!
  11. that is why I couldnt find it, I dotn know why, but I was afraid the "pledge with future" wasnt the same stuff...
  12. wow... Just wow, I cant think of anything else to say, truly inspiring work..
  13. love the details, awesome job so far. thank you for sharing!
  14. got the interior layed out, had to build a trans tunnel due to the channel. Flocked the floor, and painted the seats in a brown leather color. Also made a tall shifter with a "eyeball" shift knob. Started polishing the paint too. Should be close to buttoning this one up tomorrow..
  15. I'll be there for sure now.. not so sure I'll have any finished projects though. tons of potential for the UC table though
  16. that is turning out really nice, thank you for changing my mind about that kit!
