Great build. Great subject matter...I love these old "factory" racers, and you nailed it!

Thanks all.  As mainly an airplane builder (I still like the weathered look), I learned a lot building this one, the ups and downs.  Paint for one thing (airplanes are more forgiving due to flat paint).  I know what I will do differently to make the next two even better.  A plane is my next build (WingNuts 1/32 scale WWI Sopwith Camel).  I will however be building Gas Ronda's and Les Ritchey's pre-production 63 Galaxie lightweights along side the plane. I already have purchased the correct colors for the next two from MCW.  I will post up my progress on the next two, however, the updates will be spread out over a longer period of time.

Thanks again for all of the comments.
