Oh, for some reason I thought this was going to be a Food Truck of some sort. I remember a House Painter years ago who had the best looking '59 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery. He retired in '83 and a friend of mines son bought it as his first car. The outside looked perfect and when you lifted the rear door it looked like they had had a Paint Gun fight in there.

Beautiful looking truck. Nice looking Pull Toy also.

Great looking paint and trim. The Flat Bed is really a standout here. This looks way to nice to put to work. There're several newer trucks like this around here but they're all "Burning Coal" with a 2 foot diameter stack coming up behind the cab. I like yours much better.

Very realistic looking build. I like the chassis details and the roll cage looks like it would pass tech inspection.

The Chrome trim makes the Blue color look even better. I've had a few sheets of foil that had poor adhesion on the outer edges of the sheet.

That soft Yellow color really looks good on this. I had a coworker back in the day who bought a White one with Red Interior and the 289 and 4-speed. You're right that little V8 looks huge in the engine compartment, but it fits and they were a really nice package to drive. The Thunderbolt style Hood just looks right on any Ford. So what do you have going on with the engine and the interior ?

The paint work looks fantastic but I don't think I'd want to buy a bunch of Bananas of this food truck.

I don't know when the last time you had a real stem to stern physical by a General Practitioner but this might give you a better idea of what may be going on. The specialists that I have visited thru the years while very good at their area that seems their focus and don't look very far beyond for any other health issues. I'm fortunate in that I don't have MS and really don't understand all that is involved there. In my case my GP was doing a Physical because of my fatigue problems and detected an irregular Heart beat. That was in 2002 and he sent me to the Cardiologist who did a Heart Catheter and found the blockage. I was just about your age at the time. We're all different in many ways but I do think we need to listen to our bodies and what they may be trying to tell us. Our bodies are an amazing organism and we just keep finding new ways to damage it. Good luck on your health and for your own piece of mind think about a good Physical from a good GP.

They may need the roof rack in the case of someone having luggage. The Trunk Floor is most likely gone if the Floor is. Any time you're by a large body of salt water your car is goin to suffer even if it's in a garage.

I wonder if that's the old "Freight Train" Dragster ? That kit had two small block Chevys in a row.

I've been thinking that I would have to Pancake cut the hood to get it down. I built a '48 Coupe a couple of years ago and wanted to lower the front end. I scratch built a dropped front axel and sunk the center spring mount in the frame. I should have split the wishbones since the front part of the frame is sitting on the wishbones. It's just plastic and it looks cool.

Very nice, I thought it was a Broncho at first. Great looking off road equipment and the paint is to nice to go to far into the woods.

I have to agree with you on the '48 Woody. All of the '48s are great kits. The '41 Fords both 1:1 and the kits seem to have the nose going up hill toward the front. Thanks for the info, it doen't sound like anything that would keep me from building it.

Great looking Mustang. I can't tell you how many times I've watched that movie, but when Bullitt pulls away from the car wash I still get a bit of an adrenaline rush.

Great looking ride. Many years ago I lived in the Pismo Beach & Grover City area. There were many cars that had been placed on a 1/2 ton or Jeep chassis and they always looked like a fun 1:1 project.

I look forward to seeing how this turns out. I did a '60 Falcon Ranchero in Tamiya TS060 Pearl Green body and Testors #1845 Mystic Green roof and dash. The body turned out with a soft shine to it even with a clear coat.

Never thought about that. Maybe this will give the insurance companies a way not to pay.

Great looking pictures. Thank you for sharing.

Sounds like an interesting color. I guess I would have to see what it would look like with a Pearl Coat on it. I have noticed that the Pearl effect doesn't turn out to well in the pictures on line.

I remember seeing those in red on tailgates, but not any fender ones. This may have been something the owner added for some reason. The steering box reflectors are something I don't recall.

I was working at a Chevrolet dealer in Sacramento when the Yugo rep showed up one afternoon to pitch the car to the dealer as a possible second line car. Just so happened, by the time the dealer took it on a test drive it was one of those cool damp evenings that you would need your defrosters as soon as the car started moving . They didn't get a block down the street before he turned around as the Yugo couldn't clear the windshield. Then Chevrolet gave us the GEO.

Great looking build. Were I doing it this would be one of those decal delete cars.

Your weathering technique is very realistic looking. I'm a shinny builder, but I appreciate those who can put a finish like this on a build. You mentioned you didn't like the kit except for the body. I'm wanting to build a '41 in the near future and would appreciate knowing what you found about the kit that you didn't like.

Great looking Bug. The finish looks like it has faced several Illinois winters out in the cold. I like the wheel and tire combination.

Earth tones were very popular in the 70's and this is one of the best. I never owned one but a couple of people I knew did and they all loved them. My vote, if it counts, for the interior would be a light beige as well as the Vinyl Roof.
