Art.......looks Great.......you did a great job on making the wood look real.......I think if you should dull coat the wood........ it will look better than gloss......just my opinion.......can`t wait to see it Sun. at the NHRA Museum show

Is your buddy Terry Kale? He had a real nice Tyrone Malone truck at the Cruisin' for a Cure in September.

I got the interior floorboard completed.

And the tires all finished up. The front wheels are the only parts where I kept the kit chrome, but I toned it down some with Tamiya smoke wash.

[Art Laski]

Then I got the suspension on and up on wheels.

[Art Laski]

Here's a quick little mock up with the dog house on.

Thanks for looking!

Coming along nicely. Very clean work.

Thanks, Bob!

Made a little more progress, adding the radiator shell, injector tubes, exhaust and fuel tank.

[Dave Van]

WOW.....I like it!!!! Is it going this weekend????? I understand there is a showrod cat.

[Mooneyzs]

Art... This thing looks Killer and Love what all you have done to it. Wish I could make it out there this weekend for the show but with not having anything finished and nothing new to show, I will have to wait until next year. Have a blast at the show.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Well that's certainly no dog.  That great! 

[shoopdog]

Turned out great, but where's the dog?

[Art Laski]

And, finally, added the sign boards to the roof.

Headlights and awning added too, and it's all done!

See the rest Under Glass!

Turned out great Art.

[OldNYJim]

Beautiful work Art - this is the best one of these I've seen built, I think!  That wood looks AMAZING, and I like the candy red on the frame.  The Alclad came out great on the motor too, really nice job!

[LouO]

Amazing clean work as always! Nice build!

[Art Laski]

Thank you, guys. This was a fun one. I appreciate your comments!
