Great job,wow it looks great.

Thank you Ron, I put way more hours into it than first intended but it's comments like yours that make these projects more rewarding.

It looks like you built a real car. Super high level of detail and it looks fantastic 

Thanks Micheal, I did for the most part follow the processes and  work flow we used on the 1 to 1 cars and I tend to give my models an used but not abused look to enhance the real world look that most competition cars eventually have.

One of the most realistic builds that I have ever seen - I learned a lot from this build.  You gave Tim McAmis a run for his money!

Thank you Bruce, it was a long haul project but a fun experience.  Your Shelby is a thing of beauty and an exceptionalmodel.

John thank you so much for your comments, it makes me feel good to know  the WIP was helpful to you.  Your comment about the realism is especially gratifying as that is what I strive to convey even if it means showing a little wear and tear to represent being a working race car with a few passes on it. I don't think Tim has much to worry about  from this build but I do really like his work.

Awesome work Ian…very realistic and accurate, one of the best drag car models I’ve seen.  But before you make a pass we’re gonna need you to display your chassis cert?

It's always pleasant but sad at the same time to finish a project, especially when so much effort has gone into bringing it to completion.  After a while, the project becomes like an old friend that you visit regularly, and moving on to another project is a bit like abandoning that old friend.  I hope to see you soon on another project, because you can never have too many friends!  Your passion has produced a little jewel and you can be proud of it, your knowledge on the subject is so important for those who still have a lot to learn like me!   Thank you Ian for sharing your passion and talent with us! ?

Thank you Francis for all of the kind words, you of all people understand the mixed emotions at the end of a long haul project.  The sharing of knowledge is a two way street and I have become a better modeler from following your projects and methods.  It is also very good news that you will be back to the forums soon, you have been missed my friend!
