Great looking model. Color preferences very from one region to another, but I remember see several Sonoma and S-10's painted this color. Always thought it improved the appearance of either one.

Thank you for the pictures. So many great looking cars. I have had the good fortune to have visited this area in the past on vacations and is beautiful every where you look.

To bad Zora isn't still around to see his vision come to life, finally.

Amen on the pictures.

Great idea, like the way you bring all the different parts together.

Reminds me of an old Johnny Cash song, if he had been working in a Ford factory instead of Cadillac. You got all the different parts to look just like an old really hard worked pick up. Great job.

Makes you smile to see. Very clean looking build and the fruits and veggies look realistic. Just need to find a Farmers Market somewhere.

Very nice rebuild. You got the '60's look, side pipes, chrome reverse rims with wide whites, Merc tail lights, custom grill and more carburetors than you could possible need. Thanks for the memories ( 2 - '56's and friends with many other year models also)

That'll work.

Paint the "cans" with a semi gloss yellow and some gold paint. I have done this to look like "Rocky Mountain Cool Aid", Coors for those who have never enjoyed.

The paint work is outstanding and the first thing that gets your eye. The Chassis and Interior work is well done and very workable in 1:1.

Good looking Fury. Did Star Models have a suggestion for a stock type chassis?

Great looking model B. Very nice colors used on this and very clean looking finish.

Great looking build. I agree with you on the color combination. The lighter colored interior actually makes the exterior standout even more. Very clean assembly and I also like the day 2 wheels.

This would be something different. Another thought that got my attention was on the front cover of Street Rodder Magazine. A customized Edsel hardtop in a dark Burgundy color.

The ambient temperatures are in the mid to high 90's but at least the humidity is still only in the mid 70%'s. = heat index of 108+ till Saturday. I'm hoping the Jet Stream drops a little south.

Check your clearance around the Windshield. The Windshield doesn't want to fit all the way against the roof and a little sanding will go a long way. The Floor and back wall of the interior also catches on the inside of the cab a little. This combined with the fire wall fitment, making the three different parts all fit together takes some forcing.

Excellent job on the chopped top. The finish is smooth and flows perfectly, hard to do with this much surgery. I also like the LeSalle grill that you used.

Beautiful looking body work on both builds. I like the colors on the sedan. The Tail Light stands seem a little long. I would suggest thinking about a light black wash on the Grill of both just to add a little depth to their appearance.

Great looking color combination on the body. The interior matches the exterior well also. I like the updated drive train idea.

Something to consider if you're over say over 6 ft. tall. My last two every day drivers have been four doors. They have both been Chargers, and they aren't exactly small. Being over 6 ft. means I sit further back than some do. What happens is the B pillar is even with my shoulder and it is actually harder to get in and out than in a two door car. My wife is 5ft 10in. she also has this issue but at a lesser degree. I guess getting older is a factor making this far more noticeable now than in years past. Some thing I have noticed, and this is one of those mind set things, most people of younger generations are not as put off by multidoor vehicles as most of us of a curtain age. This has to do with being raised during a time when a two door hardtop or convertible was considered the most desirable car to own. Four doors and even Wagons were considered little more than taxis of the time. This may just be my personal hang up, but I think others may agree. The main thing today is we are forced to buy what ever the manufactures think we want, and it is up to us the consumer to determine which box full of doors we want to spend a ransom to buy.

PLEASE get that debris off of the Comet. Since your "shop" is in the garage and you said the climate is uncontrolled you might want to think about some plastic sealable storage tubs. This will minimize moisture exposure and hungry rodents. Another idea, when time and money are available, would be to insulate the walls and even put up sheet rock. With a small space heater you might be amazed at the improvement. This has made a very big difference in my own garage, but we don't often see the extreme cold you have to deal with.

Another consideration might be Tamiya's AS-12 Bare Metal Silver. This color is just a little less bright than their TS-30 Silver Leaf. Their Aircraft and Military colors offer some interesting colors and shades that have many uses and the amount of gloss desired can be controlled with what ever gloss top coat you prefer, or use none at all.

Beautiful paint work and nicely detailed chassis and engine. The color blends well with the side stripe decals. This was one of Fords best looking models from that era.

Even new or newer houses are "Money Pits". I appreciate people that want to restore older homes, but with what the original builders had to work with it is amazing any of them have survived this long. You have to really love that old structure since in many cases you'll end up spending as much as a new build to bring them up to todays standards. I do wish you luck though.
