I read about this kit before I got it, and did see where you had said that..... I remember your build, it looked really cool!

This is cool already! Fade away fenders would look really good, and you maybe could slope the B-pillars forward to get more of that custom look than the straight vertical ones....

Thanks for the responses, fellas! I agree the skirts would look better if the rear was lower, even like a tail-dragger maybe....

Got the chassis all done! Also mocked up a few pics so I could get you guys' opinion...... With skirts or without? I kinda like it better without....... Still contemplating getting the styline parts from the '50 convertible for the body, if I do that I'll definitely use some skirts then..... Thanks for looking, and any comments are welcome.......

My karate artery.....!! (you have to know the people 'round here to get it...)

Here's one that might be too bizarre for most of you guys, but me being a fan of anything Claypool, I like it......

just like Icarus...

Thanks, fellas... I've been saving these wheels for a special project to come along. Got the engine all done! Thanks....

Today I'm goofing around with rolling stock.... Think I'll use these! It's the Radir wheels from the Batmobile in the kit tires......... I've got some '61 Impala taillights that should work for center caps.

DupiColor primers are really too "hot" for bare plastic.... Their perfect match paints work just fine over the Rustoleum, though. I still like the Perfect Match paints, I just think maybe I've found a better primer for myself.

Misha, that interior looks really good! I've thought about adding some detail to the interior, just not sure what I'm gonna do yet. Definitely need to find some door handles and window cranks as the ones molded in are very faint..... Today's progress! Finished the masking and sprayed the frame black.... Couldn't figure out how to mask the wheel wells cleanly, so I just sprayed them also..... Thanks!

Thank you Misha and Dave! Here's today's progress....... Painted the body color on the belly, and started to mask for spraying the frame itself black.

I read somewhere that he said the McLaren F1 car was a blast to drive, but would switch ends quickly if you weren't careful.... I guess that's because you sit in the center of it while driving and can't feel the rear getting loose until it swaps ends on you.... He has one of three surviving Chrysler Turbine cars that he actually drives.

Hey, Guys.... I was doing a spoon test of some Tamiya paint over two different shades of primer. I had some DupliColor sandable in dark gray, and Rustoleum 2X flat gray... I was surprised to get two completely different finishes from the two primers. I know that sandable primer is meant to be sanded to smooth it, but had no idea it was so porous. The Rustoleum though the finish is a lot smoother right from the can. You can see in the pic the spoon on the left that was primed with the Rustoleum.... The color is richer and more uniform, where the Duplicolor primed one on the right is all blotchy.... I didn't sand either spoon. Also, the Rustoleum is meant for plastics (says so on the can)..... Just thought I would share this with you fellas.... Thanks!

Cool, thanks Carl and Ray! Glad you're interested.....

Stetson makes it easy, for youuuuuuuuuu........

Finally got the lil shoebox kit. It's the '49 coupe "Gas Man". It looks like a really nice kit, with two complete engines and several build options...... You probably know me well enough to know I'll be doing this as a mild custom. Colors are picked out, it will be Tamiya Pearl Light Red with gray below the trim on the body and a gray and white interior.... Any cool custom needs a throaty rumble, so I chose to build the what I believe is a Cadillac engine...... Here's the basis of it. I hope you guys follow along! Any and all comments are welcome...... Thanks......
