Lovely ...love the colour ?

Thank you Sir! 

I must say I got a few critics at contest about the colour. Some said it should have been more "flamboyant", with flames and all. But I stand by my cheap Michael's Suede acrylic. I feel it fits the car and the era well. Matter of taste, I guess...

Most important thing is that you like it...that's the beauty of modelling ...one can finish a project the way he likes it   ...I've always kept that in my dictionary of modelling .....again well done Claude ?

Very nice. Missed it first time around, glad it's popped up again.

Fenderless "fat fendered" cars aren't often seen, and usually don't look anywhere near this good.  

Hi Bill!

Thank you. You are right: fenderless fatfenders may look too "rotund", and they need a low stance and some rake IMHO, plus a towering engine to distract from the large round shape of the body. And a top chop and larger diameter wheels help, obviously!
