So sorry for your loss. Never easy when you lose a member of the family like this.

I got the pictures and they look great. Very cleanly detailed. WW's on a Yanko, way not, makes it kind of a sleeper.

Just think of all the money you wasted if you had bought a Day Planner for 2020.

Your methods of weathering a model always make your builds a standout. Great subject and I like the flat bed with the working wench.

I looks forward to this. I like the way the kit's roof and windshield are chopped.

Beautiful looking engine and chassis. What color did you use on the carbs ?

I like this color also, with this different shade I can see how it would stand out. The kit looks like it's very well done. This Rabbit has me thinking I would like to try one.

Great looking craftsmanship on this pedal setup.

The engine swap is much like a 1:1 build, but you got it in. I like how your wood work on the body is going.

I like this theme. I agree, saving the old Edsel roof may come in handy someday. I did the same thing with the roof off of the AMT '57 Ford hardtop, used it over 20 years later.

Considering their age these cars look very good. At least the "tin worm" hasn't had it's way with their bodies.

Does this kit have the Canoe in it or is that just dressing on the box top ?

I never realized this had a VW front end until Muncie posted the instruction sheet.

I built one of these last year and really liked it. As with most any kit with years worth of tool use there are a few minor fitment problems. The only issue that I would check before doing any body work is the fit of the kits windows. In my case the windshield fell thru the opening and the rear window wasn't much better. I just made new mounting points for the windows with some Plastruct .The Bed, I feel the bed should be pre fitted before final paint and then assembled. The area between the inner bed and the outer fenders can be seen after assembly so I would use a flat black color there. The bed is a little flimsy till the glue sets and I just glued the parts a step at a time. The alignment between the cab and the bed takes a little adjustment but not a real problem. The interior fits snug but at least it isn't trying to fall out during assembly. I would watch the leading edge of the dash board where it and the bottom of the windshield and the cowl all come together. This area may require a little sanding but nothing out of the ordinary. Remember mine had to have some mounting material added in that area so this my have been my own creation. Please post your build. If you should have a problems there are many far more skilled builders than myself here that will help if asked.

Great looking 'Burban. I'll bet the neighbors love you.

Most everything seems better after a couple of glass's of your favorite Vino. Sunday evening was the first time in months that it was comfortable to sit on the deck and my wife and I enjoyed some nectar of the gods.

That one might actually be more effective than any other home made mask I've seen. Just have to remember to duck going thru doorways or you'll have a sore neck.

Your paint job looks like a mirror. Very clean build.

Great looking build and nice clean detailing. The bed looks like it could be fun backed up to a beach somewhere.

Great looking build and I like the paint colors. The stance looks just like your 1:1 Dodge.

Beautiful looking paint work, you can even see the reflection from your counter in the paint. I'm a big fan of the pin striping as it reminds me of a much better time in the world. Very cleanly assembled and the interior is nicely done also.

This is really an impressive looking build. You don't often see a fenderless '40. As others have mentioned the way you have kept the proportions of the body and I understand the '40 is considered one of the hardest bodies to chop and still look right. The radiator shell idea is also unusual and looks great. Very clean paint lines and engine detailing.

Absolutely stunning. All of the features and details you've put in this are amazing. Anyone viewing this finished model and haven't followed the build really need to visit that to appreciate the finished model.

I recognized it right off. While I have owned many Pontiacs and do like them, I'm not offended in the least. I think it would be a great grill shell on a Rat Rod. .

Big surprise this morning on the new format. While it was different it was also more logical to me. I realize this is still not formalized I would like to see at sometime the list of after market suppliers as we had before. I know it has been mentioned that was an area that needed some clean up and I'm sure there is more pressing issues at this time, but it would be nice to have that information in the future. And thank you for getting rid off all the popup garbage, that really was out of hand. So thank you again for that.
