everything about this car is outstanding!!! You absolutely nailed it!!!

Thanks so much! The paint scheme has proven to be a test of patience because there’s been so many steps of masking with the frame, floor and fenders all being one piece. I haven’t shown it but the frame is gloss black and just today I masked everything again and sprayed the top side of the floor silver like the body. And I still have to brush the underside of the fenders and boards flat black then mask the body and spray the fabric roof insert flat black. I’m really looking forward to it all being done!

Great project Dennis & I'm really looking forward to see it done.

You 100% nailed the look you were after. Love the chop, the color combo and the orange looks great against the silver & gray.

Nice to see this kit get built instead of the ones collecting dust on a shelf.

UPDATE!

Did a little more work on the 4th between festivities. I found a gauge panel in my parts bin that fit the bill perfectly although I have no idea what it comes from. The firewall was still looking a bit plain so i decided to decorate it with some period decals that very well could have been put there back in the day. The roll cage bar is laying there for reference as it is right up against the firewall when installed.

I detailed the club plaque which is one of the 4 different ones that come in the latest issues of Revell's '31 Sedan.

I also polished out the body and fenders then took some pictures out in the sun.

Getting really close to being able to start final assembly!

UPDATE!

Getting very close to the end. Only things left to do is cut and install the glass and install the lower door hinges permanently attaching the doors. At that point the body can be permanently installed and it’s a done deal. 

In the meantime here’s a few teaser pictures.

This is really nice.  Good clean build style.

I have an old set of Hilborn injectors that look just like yours here.  Straight tubes... no bells.

It's been a while (obviously) since I've been on MCM's forum. Just saw your build and it's beautiful. It took some huge cajones to cut up a collectors kit but you pulled it off. Congratulations on a fine build!

Nicely executed chop. Not too much, not too little. Your choice of colors and paint detail are outstanding. Way cool!
