Thanks guys. I really like this kit, in spite of the tiny little flaws, which are correctable or not even really noticeable.

Lee, from your last photos I can see you use the same small bathroom cups as paint stands!  Outstanding!  I just got this kit Friday night,  I can not wait to dig in!

Yep, I use all sorts of things, whatever is handy, lol.

OK, here is the rolling chassis, hubcap decals and exhaust tips to be added after final assembly.

Looks like your getting close yo the homestretch. These things are a lot more enjoyable to put together when the frame is separate from the floor pan.

Lee, your engine is looking great. You have to fix the air cleaner tough. That air intake hole on it faces the inner fender, and not the hood. The way it is you may have clearence problems under the hood. Easy fix tough. 

Another detail, that you didn't show yet, but it's wrong even on the box art model. The gravel shield or splash pan behind the front bumper is not body color, it's argent (flat aluminum).

The engine on my supercharged Custom Tudor is not as detailed as yours, but the air cleaner is on the position it is on 1:1 cars.
