  1. I like this a lot. I had the good fortune to live in the Pismo Beach Ca. area in the mid 70's and this would have been a common sight in the dunes. The engineering is dead on and the air cleaners are the newer K&N type filters. We used to use what was little more than a thin sponge rubber "sock type" filter with oil sprayed on it to keep the sand out. The front tires would be very narrow since the wide tires would just skip over the sand and you wouldn't be able to turn. Your center roll bar from the main hoop to the front "knee" bar is just the way mine was.
  2. I don't recall this model either, but it sure looks perfect to me. Paint and finish is perfect.
  3. Very clean build. Were you able to get the doors to work or did you glue them shut like I had to do ??
  4. Outstanding color choice. When had a neighbor who had an Edsel when I was young. My father always had some rude jokes about the car, but I thought they looked good.
  5. Beautiful paint. That is really DOWN in front. You approach drive ways at an angle one front tire at a time, don't ask how I know. I enjoy seeing a really proper Flathead like this.

    Little Cobra

    Well detailed interior and engine compartment.
  7. Beautiful build. I like your idea of the sales brochure for the display case.
  8. The dash looks perfect. Would they have painted the steering wheel spokes blue or is that something you wanted to do ??
  9. Killer looking build.
  10. Very nice pair. I like the roadster vent windows on the coupe.
  11. Very clean well built O.O.B. build. Great paint job.
  12. Great looking Gasser. One of my personal all time favorite kits. How did you create the hood ? Did you use the front axle from the '57 Wagon or something else ?
  13. Great build. It looks just like the real car.

    Beautiful build. I like that you can show it with or without the top.
  15. Beautiful Pro Street. Besides the paint the engine is really a standout.
  16. Beautiful Diorama.
  17. Your build looks dead on, well both due but I like shinny best. Nice to see such a great artist appreciated your work.
  18. Beautiful paint and the engine is outstanding. I'd like to find a belt setup like that for a future build. Was that in the kit ? It ;looks like an aftermarket pulley and belt setup.
  19. The Red Line tires might look good with the red interior. I'd at least try them since you already have some and see which you like better.
  20. Great looking build. Nice color and the trim looks perfect.
  21. Something about the appearance of the body really draws you in. Then looking at the engineering of the chassis and the attention to detail really makes this build outstanding. Except for the driver's position, and that is somewhat part of the theme, it looks like something you would want to drive.
  22. I'm not familiar with this kit but it sure turned out great. I might have to look for one of these.
  23. The interior is beautiful.
  24. I like the Custom Grill & Bumper treatment shown on the box. The only thing that stands out as odd on this kit is the windshield area, it just seems very thick. I agree it would be nice to see one of these done right.
  25. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful pictures.
