You have a high level of skill and desire to pull this one off. Nice work Clifford, brilliant!

Maybe this is why I've moved to my new location?Better light here also. I just have to watch for getting super glue on the table. Too late.

Nice way to show them off and the best place to do it Peter. Enjoyed looking and a few jogged my memory. Thanks.

Thanks Erik, That's it!!!

Neat to see the insturmentation. I would rather see Neil Young perform it. One of my favorites was the one he sings "We live in a trailer at the edge of town," ( we did at the time,) can't remember the name of the song but, a good sing along. He must have felt he was at an all-time low during that period.

I count 39 various shades of red. Here's a link to all of my models, I forgot I had this. http://www.pinterest.com/rmvw/my-model-cars/

Here's what I used from American Traditions. It just looks like another shade of gray to me.

I agree Yellow is hard to apply, has been my worse color to date. I think it has something to do with the primer.

Many years ago I thought it would be cool to have an all red collection. It grew an grew until red started looking plain to me like black and white or gray. I went to black for a while more or less as a challenge to myself to become an expert with black finishes. White became fresh soon after with red as an inerior color. I've always liked bright hot rod colors like orange and yellow but, tend to reserve them for special builds. Green seems refreshing to me now. There are so many shades and tones of colors to play with I have become more diverse. Lately I have been playing with some acrylics mixing my own colors which I find very interesting. I have always tried to use mostly solid colors instead of metalics. Believe it or not I have always considered blue my favorite color. I think the only blue models I have are builds of 1:1 cars I have owned.

Beautiful!!!! Do I hear an ecoh?

Nice job, I also love the "Sleeper" look. Congrats on your trophy.

It seems like this is more about the display than the model, I love them both. Reminds me of the typical display at World of Wheels. I love the '40 Ford, it is a show stopper. I vote YES on the display.

Here's a peek at what I am working on today.

Thanks for all the comments, they all mean a lot to me, especially after seeing some of what you guys can do. impcon, on 09 Mar 2014 - 7:33 PM, said: May I make one little suggestion? Dry brush the Ford script on the tailgate in white or black for a tiny added touch of contrast and uniqueness. Thanks Gary, I will probably do this as suggested. I had been debating on what color to use and even thought of using green like in the T on the Texaco logo. Also not sure if I like the running boards being black, had thought of using the red or silver.

Thanks guys, I'm enjoying all the comments,so far. It's the first one my wife has commented on in a while, which already made it a success for me. This is what makes them fun to build.

And more.

More.

Another quick build. After building the Chevy I had the decals left over so, I thought, "Why not?" I used Dupli-Color paints, Flame Red and Light Slate Met. Added wires for spark plugs on the Ardun heads, real oak wood on bed rails and bed floor, aluminum tube for exhaust tips, added the gas can from my parts box, and other than that it is box stock. Hope you enjoy looking and please leave comments.

Love the orange and black theme. The carpet and engine wires stand out to me along with the gages and black wheels. Nice job Andy. I love it.

Cool Wheel Horse. I had one with 500 Special stickers from that vintage. It was a 6 hp. Tecumseh. I remember seeing them in Gasoline Alley at the speedway towing cars and equipment around. They were a big sponser at the 500. I have not built my model yet, nice inspiration to do so. Thanks for sharing.

Great story, I love it more than the car. It realy did take me back to when full Kustom cars were the ultimate. I remember the model car contests of the day and this one wold have won a trophy for sure. Nice job Peter.

I am becoming a really big fan of yours Tulio. (Wish i could figure how to get the little accent mark over the "u" in Tulio out of respect for you.). The panel lines increase the realism of your model immensely. I also enjoyed the video and love your taste in music on it, very much goes with the car. I can't wait to see what you show us next.

Very cool Hot Rod! I love all the close ups of your details. Can you tell me what kind of camera and lens you are useing?

Harry, It looks like it just rolled out of the Henry Ford Museum. Nice job.

Nice job Juan. It looks to be ready for action.
