Great job, Chris... I can't wait to hear you fire this puppy up!

BEAUTIFUL job, Dave. I'm loving every step of the way.

Chris, I want to throw this out before you go much further. To me, it seems like the radius at the upper rear portion of them could stand to be just a bit more gradual as they transition into the downward sloping rear wall. Maybe it's my eyes, but yours seem to have just a bit sharper edge than the 1:1 pics. The angle looks right. They just look like they could stand to be a bit rounder over the top. Take it for what it's worth - maybe not much... Scott

Perfect! Thanks, so much, Dave!!

Those are both looking excellent Dirk. I really like the mods you've made to update the bodies, and your rolling stock and wheels are impressive... Looking forward to more updates!

You're off to a super start, Tyrone. At least an ice storm is good for something...

Sure Dave. True life dimensions would be great! Thanks so much... Scott

I can't wait to see how the "accessories" look and work out for you when installed. Would you mind if I borrow your nice, close up view of your dry sump pump to use as a model for a 1/25th scale version? If so, what is the overall length of it? I like how you've painted the inset portions of it. That really adds a lot to the character of it. Keep on truckin' my friend!

Awesome work, my friend!!!

Wowzer! You just keep raising the bar, Clay. Your cage padding and plate work both look beyond real. Thanks for sharing! I can't wait for the next update...

Fantastic tube work going on there, Tyrone. I really like the looks of the Mustang body and your chassis is super. Lookin' forward to more updates!

Fantastic update, Dave! It's great to see it as a roller. Looking forward to the next update already...

Hey Leonard! Thanks for looking in, brother... How are you getting along on your Camaro build? I don't recall seeing any updates recently! Thanks for the encouragement, Tyrone... I've added some new PE details to my rear end housing packages. I've added axle housing end flanges, so I want to add those, too, to this before I repaint it, plus I'm going to wrap a strip of .010"x.040" styrene strip around the outer ends of the axle tubes to replicate the housing ends, where the bearings seat. It'll be another bit of detail that will add to the realism. I'm wanting to employ the comment I read a few years ago on the board about treating each subassembly as its own model. Wish I could remember who originally said that.

That is a gorgeous build, Guy, and your paint job looks flawless. I can't wait to see more of your work.

Wow! You've hit a monster 600 foot home run with this hatch project, my friend. As Brad said, this has gone way, way, WAY beyond OK.

I didn't here the thud Guy, but I appreciate the sentiment. Keep watching - more will be coming. Just don't know how quickly... LOL

Thanks Vince. Yeah, I think we'd all be money ahead to invest in those companies... LOL Hey Romell - Thanks for looking in. I'm glad to see that you're back in circulation. Your scratch-built engine is astounding. Keep up the fantastic work on it!

That's looking fantastic, Tyrone! Can't wait to see some more updates.

Sorry for being so slow to reply, Fredrik. Thank you, so much, for your compliments. I'll keep trying to do my best on it. Chuck Naylor (ratnasty on MCM) sell Dyno Don Fairmont decals, so you might want to get in touch with him. I've got a few small updates to share. I got back to doing a bit of cage work and got the X bars fitted that run to the top of the rear shock crossmember and also got the diagonal bar fitted to the main hoop and halo bar. I'm currently working on short diagonal bars that will intersect the main hoop/cross bar and angle down to the top of the four link mounts. I need to finish up the fuel cell, but it's getting there. I've got to add AN fittings for the fuel outlets and will also rig up something for the vent line. I pulled a doozy. I painted the rear end housing, then realized I hadn't added the upper wheelie bar mounting brackets so it is currently taking a bath in Wesley's pool. LOL You can see that purple is going to be one of the colors I'm using in this build... Comments always welcome...

That's beautiful, Gregg... The paint and colors look really sharp together.

Joe, That is downright gorgeous! I love '57 Fords anyway, and yours is one of the nicest ones I've seen. Your paint is fantastic. What brand/color did you use, if you don't mind my asking...?

That's an absolutely stunning build, Fredrik. Everything is so sharp and clean. Beautiful...

Craig, I'm sorry to hear about your loss, but it's great that you have funny/fond memories of your dad to hold onto. He sounds like he would have been a cool/funny guy to have known.

Your work is gorgeous, Dave. I'm always in awe of the work you do. Keep it up bud!
