Beautiful build. The detailing of the engine and chassis are very realistic.

Looks great. Reminds me of when this was an AMT annual. We used to use all the extras when we built them.

Looks great. This is the way I like to build them also. The foil turned out perfect.

Really captures the Gasser look. Considering what you had to work with you should get an "ata boy" for completion.

While you already have the Revell body well underway another alternative would be the AMT '63 Corvette kit. It didn't have the straight axle, but did have many drag racing options and some nice options on the rear wheel wells. and hood. If you didn't want the split window that could be changed.

He had a great body of work. Many artist had hits that he wrote.

I have used Tamiya clear and Testor Wet Look both. I have not had this problem before. The only thing I can think of is if you might have sprayed a coat to heavy.

That is a beautiful custom. The body flows smoothly. If someone hasn't seen the fabrication on this they can't fully appreciate the finished build. .

That looks about as real as it can be. That reminds me I'd better get the snow blower serviced and running for the one or two snows we get every winter.

Beautiful very clean build. I agree with David G. with the detailing of the door and trunk lines. It makes it look just that much more like the real thing. The paint looks great but if you want a little bit more gloss in the future you might try a coat or two of Tamiya TS-13 Clear.

Very smooth looking custom. Winfield style paint jobs always look good on custom cruisers.

Looks like a perfect reproduction in scale. What is the two letter county code on the rear license plate in the left hand corner ? If in LV. (Levenworth) and no I'm not incarcerated.

Great looking "rollover".

Great job on all the fabrication. I agree that the silver color better shows the body lines. As an after thought if you ever go this way again and still want to try an AWD setup, maybe an engine or just the dry sump oiling system could be used from a NASCAR kit. They use this system for both better lubrication and added ground clearance. Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

The original concept was interesting and very innovative. This is going to another level. Would the aerodynamics on the leading edge of the rear tire benefit from a pod that leads to the top of the tire ? Are you adding a rear diffuser also ? This just got even more interesting .

Beautiful build. The perfect blend of old and new. Great paint job.

While watching your build I knew it would be great, but this is even better than expected. The way you massaged the body looks like it was made that way. The interior detail is something to study. Great chassis engineering.

I like the tutone colors on the '37 and the Chevy Aero . The Corvette hub caps are a sight not seen for a long time, I like it. The Royal Lancer hub caps look perfect on the Chevrolet. You can just give the keys for the Del Rio, that's nice. I like the '61 Chevy also.

Beautiful Del Rio. Great color combo.

Very nice. Did the "spiders" on the wheels come in the kit or from your stash ? Now I want to build one also.

Perfect color for this model. While I'm not a fan of wire wheels, they look perfect on this type of build.

Thank you for sharing your painting ideas. This has given my inspiration to try some the things you have done here.

This should be interesting. Are you going with a rear engine? or maybe a battery driven electric car.?

Always nice to see a car that has been well cared for and appreciated. The body style is interesting since it is different than what I am used to seeing. The main part of the body, from "A" pillar to "C" pillar, resemble a Ford Galaxy/LTD from that era. The front grill looks very much like a Mercury and some of the emblems are from the Lincoln. It all works together well.

Well you now know what to get here for Christmas. That color looks perfect for a young lady. The '57 really hits my hot spot. I think the colors you came up with look like Sierra Gold and India Ivory tutone from that time period. That is the stance that still looks best.
