Loving this, reminds me of a Dave Deal design.

THAT is BEAUTIFUL! Reminds me of the intricate 1/72 cut-away scratch-builds by a guy named Dan Jayne; just phenomenal craftsmanship in the details.

You have really worked out a lot of kinks in this project, and the work is worth it; she looks NICE!

Why is the other side of the pond so weird? ( says everyone on all sides ?)

My first thought as well...

Love me a flamin" chicken graphic, or if you prefer, the fowl induction hood!

I'd bet someone torched that spring to lower the rear end. Old, crude, and unpredictable way to drop a coil spring. Too much heat on one side let it skew off like that, but hard to see under compression.

Liking what you're doing a lot! The Chevy headlights are a nice, subtle touch; can't wait to see more!

Can one purchase resin copies of these?

Gold flake with candy root-beer fades. Groooovvvy! I really would like to see the custom grill work molded into the stock fenders, that front fender bulge just makes the car look like an oversized Corvair to me. Carry on...

Off to a good start!

That's a beautiful turquoise color; this is gonna look so BAD! Will it be stock or a street machine kinda thang?

I'd add a bottle of flat black to the collection, so you could mix between them all to achieve unlimited levels of sheen.

Sweet!

This was the heyday of body cladding; maybe you could adapt some ground effects from a Grand Prix or turbo T-bird to fit the era?! Likin' what you're doing.

That color is awesome, and the model as a whole is really sharp! Nicely done!

He doesnt' have to write anything new! Just collecting all his previous articles into a volume would be fantastic!

Beautiful work as always! On your next 57 interior, don't forget to "chrome" the heater control knobs (4 small square objects low on the dash, right of steering column) and the glove box push-button! Can't wait to see what you do with that Revell 2 door sedan.

Man, both are nice, but that red speaks to the kid in me! That is textbook RED! Mind sharing what particular color/brand you used for that?

Coming along nicely. Grafted that top onto anything interesting yet?

OP: Love the work you're doing here, also have one in my stash and as of yet undecided on a style for it. Perhaps I'll find inspiration here! Karl, what is the source of that article? Any chance of getting a scan of it? Juha's work and descriptive writing were very inspirational toward my return to the hobby! If all his articles were collected into a book, it would be a bible for any serious model car builder.

There's only one real way to build/display this model: gettin' t-boned at an intersection.

Very nice color on a clean build. Your time spent on the wheels paid off in a big way; very realistic.

Nice color, a welcome relief from the common! A sleeper aspect that is just cool.

Cool project!
