I really dig this build. The rust you've done is super convincing 

Thank you, it’s taken some time to get the hang of weathering again, last time I really did any amount of it was in the eighties.

Wow! This is a fantastic build of a really cool real car! Nice work, looks great!

 

I’m happy for all the positive feedback, it’s rather nice to be getting some notice of this build.

Getting harder and harder to tell the difference between the photos of the real car and your build. 

Haha, some of the details of the actual car have been a bit challenging to replicate, I’m doing the best that I can with the skill set I have, thankfully the palsey shake from my hands has been treatable and I’m still able to continue modelling.  Just need to get over the January blues hump and get this one finished. 

Thank you all for the continued interest and the newfound interest in this project. I’ll do my best to get the final details sorted and show some more progress.

Thank you sir, working on perfection of the rust is no mean feat, but after growing up on on island In the Atlantic I do know rust.

Getting so close.

Add new parts, make them look like old and rusty parts. Well we are getting closer and closer to the end. It may not look like much has changed but there is another 3 hours of work done here.

Like the "wide five" wheels and the bent left front wheel.
