Thanks Ira ! Actually I'm thinking about a repaint .

The square pipes look great !!

Thanks very much Derrick !

That's pretty neat , and it's British Racing Green ! I'd like to find one of those kits !

Thanks Clay !

The updated body does look a lot better and even better when it's cleared . I also like the black and white interior and the engine detailing looks good too . As far as the year goes . . . we all know what year it is , the main thing is that you got the 1/2 part right !

Thank you Bill , I appreciate it . Nice thing about this kit is the details don't have to be perfect to look good !

That's incredible ! Great detailing and a beautiful model . The "Remove Before Flight" flag is a nice touch . . . brings back memories .

Really nice looking Mail Box Trike Chris ! These are neat little kits and fun to detail . I have all the reissues and a couple originals .

Thank you Mark !

Thanks Roger ! Thank you Ray !

Thanks Carl ! I ruined a few figuring out how to get the paint brushes apart !

This is the finished engine . The exhaust was made using styrene rod and the ends from some paint brushes . The belt guard is a piece of splatter screen ( used for frying ) wrapped with a strip of aluminum from a soda can . Air filters were shaped from rectangular styrene . And here's the finished chassis with the engine installed . I added the clutch and throttle cables , also a fuel line , halfshafts , and parking brake cables . It won't be seen once the body is on but it's fun to do ! And that's where I'm at ! Comments and suggestions are welcomed . If you would have done something different let me know ! Today I'll start putting all the goodies on the body and I'll post the finished photos Under Glass . Thanks for looking !

The body was painted with Duplicolor Royal Blue and Duplicolor Clear . The chassis was also painted Royal Blue . I added brake lines with solder and some braided lines to the calipers . Power is the kit engine with some carbs from my parts box . I made the intakes out of tubing and added linkage and fuel lines . I also made the oil filter and dipstick . The distributor is from M.A.D.

This is not really a W.I.P. but more of a "what's already done" since I've been working on his for about a month . It's almost completely out of the box except for some modified and scratchbuilt parts . I started by modifying the suspension to lower the ride height about 1/8th inch all the way around and I added working steering . The calipers & rotors are Pegasus that were filed down to a smaller diameter . I scratchbuilt the pedal assembly with dual master cylinders . Here's the body in primer with side pods I made first with modeling clay and then cast in resin . The railing around the rear is brass rod and tubing . I also thinned the windshield frame to look more realistic . And finally I made a roll cage with styrene rod and used some Corvette seats from my parts box . Wheels and tires also are from the parts box .

I'm in love !! I want one just like that as a daily driver . Beautiful work Tom !

Wow that's really nice ! Don't see them in black very often . . . I really like it !

Beautiful ! I especially like the photos of the front and rear , great detailing !

Sharp looking Camaro ! It looks good in red . Nice engine detailing too !

Excellent build Bobby ! The red flocking and all the little "gems" really make a difference !

I love Hot Rod Lincolns and yours is super nice ! The BMF and detailing looks first class . What color is that ? And welcome to the forum !

Very sharp !

Beautiful ! You made the right choice with that color , it's perfect .

Now that is a pretty truck !! And it's my favorite color !

A nice kit and a very nice job ! I can't remember the last time I saw a red Willys . . . I like it !
