Looking very nice, keep us all informed on progress

Started tonight by preping the body, removing all the rear quarter trim. Researching 55 Chevy photos, the shape of the rear quarter windows looks wrong and the front fender belt line seems to extend too far to the rear. I'll do a bit more looking and consider reworking these.

I started this kit fifteen years...........and two kids ago (I have four total). It was the first kit I bought after arriving in the US from the UK. I need to get back into this hobby and have opted to finish this kit before starting anything new. Kit is basically stock, chassis and running gear were done years ago, interior was 'aluminum sheetmetal', body paint was some shade of purple. Engine is wired but otherwise stock. Interior is in the trash now, as is the body........new parts are from the Revell '55 Street Machine kit. Plan is to finish the kit with new, basically black, street machine interior, basic roll cage, simple matt black body, with a few decals, clear glass. Wish me luck.........

Fantastic !!!

Not the latest series of the Walking Dead..........very disappointing

That's going to be a very stiff front suspension set up.

I like it !!!!

I'll be following this one.

I Love it !!

Proof that small can be beautiful

Super clean, fantastic build, one of the best I've seen on the forum.

I see you went for the sleeper look....lol

After announcing to the world my intention to finish this kit in two months, back in April, my performance has been miserable, in fact pathetic. I have some time off work this Christmas and a new spray booth, so expectations are high to make some progress. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for 2013 to all.

Exactly, that's what I thought...

I must be getting old....I read the title as R8 R.I.P....

All very nice, I have a personal preference for anything with redline tires

Thanks for the input. There are multiple Iwata Eclipses out there, which model do you specifically like? Also what are modelers using for a compressor? Thanks in advance

Not sure where to post this... I have many years experience with rattle cans and have owned a couple of 'entry level', comporessed air can powered, airbrushes, but have never owned a 'real' airbrush and compressor. What are peoples thoughts on airbrush and compressor choice? I've probably got a budget of say $250 approx., not sure how realistic this is.

Looking good, you're inspiring me to start mine, I'll be following this build, any chassis shots?

I'd be interested on seeing some more about the Ferrari.

Magic !!! Inside and out

You're about as productive as I am.......good luck with this one!

What color is that red, its awesome?

Very cool, I'm loving the body work

Nice build. To me this is probably one of the first cars to get be interested in cars.
