  1. Great looking build. Noticed some decals? on the front hood. The soft lighting and the background always ads to the appearance.
  2. That is a really tired looking Blue Flame, and I say that in the best way possible.
  3. Beautiful looking cat. A shame he couldn't have found a territory for himself a little further from what we call civilization.
  4. Great looking build and the way you photographed it is very real looking. I expected to see flames coming out of the engine in the rear view.
  5. Great looking Hot Rod. Like the premiered finish.
  6. Beautiful looking finishes. The chassis and engine detailing look great. Enjoyed watching your build on this.
  7. Great looking color, almost pearlescent looking in the photos.

    Does look like it is floating. Riminds me of some the GM Motorama Show cars from long ago.
  9. Beautiful looking paint and body work. Extensive chassis and engine detailing. With the interior this really looks like what you would see at a custom car show.

    Great looking paint and trim, Like the stance and the little added side trim and paint.
  11. Great looking body work, especially the rear window and roof. Like the OEM look.
  12. Great looking build, always fun to build a copy of a car you own or used to.
  13. Great looking resto, and nice to have a little music while you work.
  14. I bought a resin '58 Chevrolet two door wagon body from Star Models this last summer. This might also be a consideration for a base body to work with.
  15. The wrap around rear window was always fascinating to me. Like the realistic ride height and tires. This would be driven over some rough terrain and pavement would be optional.
  16. Great work on the headlights. This had become a problem through the years as the tool for the grill was changed from time to time. As for tools to work with you may want to find a smaller pin vise as well. You will quickly find out just how handy they can be.
  17. Kits of all of the race cars in the movie were produced just one time to the best of my memory. They were all based on the Chevy Lumina body and those kits are around. Finding the originals may be a challenge.
  18. I use one of the smaller open spray booths and haven't had any dust issues. My thought is that it may have more to do with the environment of the area where your spray booth is set up. An area with a lot of dust setting on shelves or work benches not to mention the spray booth itself if left on covered in a dust area could lead to dust in your paint work. Static electricity can also leave a plastic model that attracts dust in the air.
  19. Sorry to hear of his passing as well as your personal loss.
  20. Kit is from the much earlier times of modeling. The correct basic shapes are all there. With a detail painted chassis, filling the engine hole, and creating some front wheel spindles this will build into a very nice-looking model.
  21. Looking at the K cross member, on the driver's side facing the rear of the car, a part looking very much like a brake booster with a pultrusion to the rear looks very close to a brake master cylinder. Could this be what you're looking for?
  22. Great looking color and paint finish. Like the clean body trim and the stance.
  23. The tires are far more realistic looking than what the kit provided. Never hurts to have a few extra dragster slicks though.
  24. Great looking Lincoln with clean body trim and interior.
  25. The level of detail is amazing, an ash tray and I didn't even know you smoked.
