Nice clean looking build. I like the color.

Great job on the fade paint job. The styling really captures the '50's era look. I never could get those @‌#*%$* Nurf Bar Bumpers to set straight like you did.

I like all the engine details. I remember Road Runners with big slicks back when. The Purple color is perfect for this car.

Wow, I've never built this kit but after looking at this I think I might. I like how the interior and exterior colors complement each other.

Great paint and color, very clean looking. I like the wheels and the stance is perfect.

Do you have plans for the bodies stock front wheel opening ?

Great looking interior. Your right these are pretty basic kits but with the detailing your adding they really come alive.

That's a lot of wood work. I like the top chop, not over done.

Glade to see an appreciative person like yourself who will treasure and preserve this model in memory of another respected builder.

Speaking of TV programing, I sometimes have to watch reruns of some of the programs on Velocity and Kin Dig It especially they seem to play this "back ground music" that is actually at the same volume as the people talking in the show. I don't remember it being their if I watch at the normal programing time only when it is a rerun. I don't know if Velocity is thinking this will enhance my viewing experience or if someone in their audio staff is trying to justify their existence.

I don't know which is worst the talking owl or the people who talk to them. Most TV ads are amusing the first couple of times, then you realize its time to see what is on another channel just so you don't have to see the same ad over and over.

That's a novel idea with the decals. I like the steel wheels. Did you change anything on the Foose chassis ?

Good idea to go with duel engines.

Try using a simple wooden tooth pick to get the sediment stirred up. Then you can start shaking the bottle by what ever means you choose. I have a Hobby Paint Shaker that I have had for a long time. I got it from Micro Mart and just use a rubber band to hold the bottle on its side. This works very quickly and minimal mess.

I have been using the Tamiya compounds for several years and have always been satisfied. They offer three grades of polish. I'll sometimes use Novus #1 as a finel step and it helps to remove any of the polishing residue.

Good looking car and a great color. Hard to think that is 1/43 scale.

Those are all great looking builds. Now you just have to build two more, Panther Pink and Plum Crazy, or are those the Plymouth names I never could keep them straight. I do enjoy looking at your builds as they always look great.

Great looking honest work truck. I like that you used some of the kits tools and engine in the bed.

I think you idea to wet sand the body and give it another color coat will be best. While I like these paints the amount of metallic in the paint makes them tend to come out a little rough. I would suggest trying a couple of light clear coats even though they say it isn't needed. The clear might help fill some of the low spots from the blue finish and then your polishing the clear instead of the blue.

Great looking build of one of Chryslers best body styles ever.

Another beautiful Tulio Ford. Look forward to seeing the rest of your build.

I agree the stance is just the way I'd want it if it was in my driveway. Not usually a color green lover but that looks great. Dumpy Dan's comment on the time made me laugh. Ant time you can get on the work bench is the right time.

I have always thought this would be an interesting subject to build. Just a couple of weeks ago the TV program Wheeler Dealer redid one and added the third rear wing per the original designer of the body style. You might look for it on the Web if you feel you need any addition inspiration. I'll enjoy watching what all you do with this build.

I like the direction of your build. Great looking Roll Bars and front framing.

" Trust your car to the man who wears the star " Texaco had a great slogan at that time. Enjoyed looking at these old ads and except for the Mustang it looks like this could have been early Green Screen technology. I agree that the scene with the Mustang at the pumps getting gas looks as though the rear of the body shrunk or something. The on the road scene were the giant lifts the hood is very Green Screeny to me.
