This is a nice piece from MCG. Fits well.

If the goal is to build models to look as realistic as possible, this one scores the highest possible score! Beautiful! WF

Hey Mitch, the car is coming along really nicely. That actual 1:1 car is still "alive" and was run as a Super Gas car until last season. This is it with a re-body from about 8 years ago. It had a B1 Mopar for power at the time. Before that it had a big block Chevy. I believe the car now resides in Connecticut and is destined to get another bb chevy. WF

One of the most realistic models...ever! Absolutely beautiful! WF

I love yellow '57 Fords! WF

I saw the car at the NNL East today. Looks even better in person! WF

Red and sliver are a great combination. Wheels are a nice choice too! WF

That is brilliant!!!

Super job Niko! WF

That's a winner!

Those stripes are a pain to install You did a good job!

First time that I've seen it as well. Great way to recycle old parts! FW

I would be proud to have that one in my display case!

I like it alot!

The real car never looked that good!

Well done engine!

Thanks for the tips on the Krylon and using dull cote over the flat black. I will try both! WF

I probably would have been better off if I made my windows from clear sheet and super glued them in.

I know that someone is going to ask "Got any engine shots?" So..... "How about a chassis shot?" And a shot without the finger print on the door: WF

Just finished this Tudor that I built for a friend of mine. He is building a 1:1 at this time. Not meant to be an exact replica but a "similar" car. I asked him what color the body would be....."flat black". O.k., the chassis?... "flat black". The engine?... "flat black". Let me guess on the interior....black vinyl? "Yep". Arrrrgh, too much black! The grille was blacked out with The Detailer wash. Came out pretty good. The cowl lamps are fog lights from the new Revell 'cuda because my carpet ate one of the kit parts! You can see the dust print on the door. Really hard to keep flat black clean! I'll wipe it down before delivery. The wide whites are something that I liked and felt necessary to contrast with all of that flat black. The window glass was a real p.i.t.a. as it kept popping out when stretching the body to fit over the interior tub. I had to reinstall them from outside the car after the tub was installed! You literally have to stretch the body almost to the breaking point to get that tub in. I forgot to install the tail lights and plate bracket before I mounted the body to the chassis! I was not going to try and pop that tub out again! I measured and drilled the holes on the almost completed car.I think that I got away with it. I'm glad that I wont have to look at this one anymore! I hope that he likes it! WF

One of the better weathering jobs that I have seen. Great job on the interior and that flat tire looks very realistic! WF

Some very nice workmanship here! WF

Nice job once again Al, but I want to see more of that slot car track! WF

Here are some "finished" photos of the 'cuda. I added a sponsor. WF
