Nicely done.

Very sharp model !

Thank you much fellows.

Looks great !

Nice pics as usual, thanks. I found the blue Torino convert interesting. Nice car.

Thank you all very much.By no means perfect but pretty good for me.

Very slick.

This model is now done and photos will be in the under glass section soon if interested.

Was surprised when I saw a photo of this version because I had never seen it . When I did I decided to try and build it . I was not able to find many photos but some of the fellows here were quick to post some . While not a perfect replica I think I got it kind of close . After I did all the mods I put it in primer and Tamiya Pure Red . ( not sure of the correct color of actual car ) Anyway it was time for decals and clear . I have been using the Duplicolor 1k clear and really like it . I had a couple coats on and it looked pretty good . But , as I am not one to leave well enough alone I decided to spray another coat . Bad idea . It crinkled in spots . I didn’t have anymore of the decals so I did not want to strip and start over . I wet sanded best I could and then put two coats of the Future on it . I used parts from two kits . AMT Cobra Roadster and the Sunny AC 427 mostly for the body . The side openings in the body needed to be filled . The roof is a modified unit from the custom roof in the AMT kit . It was modified by just using the front of the stick piece and using sheet plastic to make the roof longer and to create the side panels . Tires and wheels from the parts box as well as the decals . The rectangular hole was cut in the hood and the scoop was made with sheet plastic. Grill opening was modified . I did put an engine in it but glued the hood because the engine in these kits were not very good . I am pretty happy with it and it looks good if you don’t look too close . Seems no matter how hard I try I can always manage to screw something up ! Thanks for looking and reading this long post .

Thanks Tom.

Thank you Bruce. I just became aware of it a short time ago.

She's a looker !

Looking good ! Better strap that drag car down good so it don't fall off !

It's done and in the Under Glass section.

Model is almost done . Just a few details to take care of . Had a few problems which were my own fault . I will detail when I post in the under glass section .

Great looking hot rod.

Very nice clean model, well done.

Got the body just about ready for the clear coats .

That's quite a project you have undertaken. I wish you the best of luck with it.

Great looking model.

That's a beauty.

Very nice, well done.

Very sharp !

Thank you ! That is a pic I have never seen.

Tom, this is a very good yellow. Best to use a white primer to keep the yellow nice and bright.
