TooOld

She's a real beauty ! Another great looking '58 for your collection !

Great looking build ! I like the color and the smooth look of the body . Really nice engine detailing too , especially the carbs . Those old paint brushes came in handy too !

Very nice ! You did a great job adding the roof to the AMT kit . I tried the JF body too and ended up doing about the same thing , that resin body was just a mess . Also , you are the first one I've seen who correctly painted the body color in the headlight surrounds , very good !

I don't print my own decals very often , usually some license plates or a few logos . I use Testors paper only because my LHS has it and for about $6 I got 3 sheets of clear and 3 sheets of white paper . I don't see any problems with it , but if I were doing more involved decals ( like for a race car ) I might look at some better quality paper . I also do the "cut and tape" trick for my decals , it saves me from wasting a lot of paper . As for decals printing transparent , I usually try to use the white paper and use MS Paint to match the background to the color it will be applied to .

That looks really nice ! I love these cars and you did an excellent job on this one .

Very sharp ! How about a couple more photos ? I too would like to know what the color is .

Paint looks great , nice and smooth and shiny !

I've been busy with other stuff for a while but managed to get in a couple of hours Sunday night . I pieced together the exhaust with turbo mufflers made out of 1/8" thick styrene , pipes from 3/32 aluminum rod , and the tips will be polished aluminum tubing . I pinned the parts for easier alignment . Thanks for looking .

Absolutely drop dead gorgeous !

There is a complete expanation on Coffin Corner 2 under the topic " Changes in Store 2013 "

Agreed . I know Chuck too and this is not his 1/8 build . Photos of his at KKIM are on the LARGE SCALE MODELS forum . Once again , a very nice build Blair . It obviously is good enough to fool some people !

That's beautiful ! ! I love the color and your BMF looks perfect ! Great engine and chassis detailing too .

That site is being discontinued soon . We will need to go to the Fotki site that has all of the instructions posted . If you do a search for "fotki drastic plastics instructions" you will find it . Sorry , I tried to post a link but it didn't work .

The Mk8D is one of the best looking Can Am cars ever and you've done a great job ! I don't see anything wrong with it at all . I'd like to build one myself some day . The color looks like a perfect match , what paint did you use ?

Good is an understatment ! His work is fantastic ! Thanks for posting .

That's pretty amazing ! Can we see some more photos ?

Very cool and excellent scratch building ! I like the weathered look with those nice wheels .

Nicely done ! I love these Show Rods .

That's a real beauty Ron ! I love the black and white paint .

Great looking pair of Hot Rods !

Looking good ! Splicing large panels like that together is a tough job but it looks like you've got it figured out . I'm interested in doing a similar project so I'll be watching .

Roy , I've never seen bricks that big in my life , they must be 12 feet long ! And you've got a really gorgeous looking Shelby too , you should build a model of it !

Here's a few photos of the finished engine , ready to drop into the chassis .

Thanks Marshall and George ! I've managed to spend a few hours on this the last couple of days so I should have some updates this week sometime .

That's really sharp ! Great job .
