  1. I didn't even notice the brake master cylinder being different. If I had to guess this may be a vacuum throttle control that would be connected to the cruise control system. The object is mounted on the fender and not the brake cylinder, and has a vacuum line running toward the intake manifold. area under the air cleaner. A factory air ride suspension was an option on these cars, but I don't think that would be it.
  2. Thankyou for the information.
  3. Beautiful looking build. The color on the screen almost looks white. I like your idea to tone down the wheels shine.
  4. Thanks Andy. I have started to really enjoy doing the wood trim by hand instead of the kit decals. The dash looks a little different as I was trying to make it look like a car I saw in a magazine. The "grain" is going north and south on the car in the magazine instead of the east west that you would see in a pickup bed floor. Both of these are great kits and offer many possibilities. The '48 is a little fussy going together but it has to do with the close fit of the body as the manufacture has a very precise between the body and the front fenders.
  5. Great looking builds. Very cleanly looking details.

    2020 lineup....

    Nice verity of subjects and all are cleanly detailed looking builds.
  7. Beautiful looking pair of builds. Hope to see more of your work in 2021.

    My 2020

    Amazing looking paint work here. Cleanly detailed and all the trim looks dead on on every one.
  9. You really did get a lot done this year. A lot of different subjects but they're all cleanly done and I like the NASCAR builds also. The '57 Fords all look interesting. The chopped top must have been fun.

    1962 Chevy

    Great looking '62 Bel Air. You must have been "saving your nickels and your dimes" for some time. The color selection shows the body lines well and has a great finish.
  11. I remember following your thread on the vinyl roof cover. Turned out factory looking in every way. Great looking Monte Carlo.

    My 2020

    I also like seeing the older body styles done this way. Vary sharp detailing on all of your builds.
  13. I agree with Michal on the Oldsmobile, this is a real sharp looking build, as are they all.
  14. I like the clean finish and the color on your Olds. The engine detailing all done with paint looks great.
  15. The paint work on the Firebird is really impressive looking. The little Midget looks great and I would like to learn more about doing the louvers for the hood ?

    My 20 for 2020

    Beautifully built Muscle Cars and the NASCAR's are all cleanly done also. The '67 Impala and the Torino are real stand outs to me. The Impala just looks so correct.
  17. Great looking street rods, but I like the way you present the MoPar factory small block Muscle Cars. Very rewarding to build a model of a car from a bygone era that was yours.
  18. Beautiful looking builds. Getting that nice finish on the real small scale builds must have been difficult.
  19. Interesting range of subjects. I like your paint work and the cleanly detailed trim om these. Hard to say you like one more than another, but I would like to have the Ranchero in my driveway.
  20. The body and paint look great so far. I agree with you on the white interior, not sure any other color interior would look right.
  21. Both beautifully finished. You need to build a matching trailer this year for these two.
  22. Great looking pair of trucks. Except for the white walls the first one look just like the truck that has been sitting in my barbers yard for as long as I have been going there. Very realistic looking finishes.
  23. Great looking rig. I remember watching this build at the start and then it just seemed to disappear. Glad to see you were able to finish it.
  24. Thanks Curt, means a lot coming from someone with your building style.
  25. I remember watch some of these coming together. The fine detailing and craftsmanship is amazing. The '48 Canopy Express still makes me smile to see it. The creativity of the VW Bus and how you recreated your own pickup. I guess I missed sports cars and the Auto Union builds Look forward to seeing what you have for 2021.
