I agree with everyone else, that's a great build. I have done that kit and I can say there are alot of tiny, finicky pieces, aside from how nice you have done everything, just getting this kit together correctly is a hard task, again, great work!

So many nicely done details to see in your build. You did a wonderful job replicating the car, the presentation is stunning, great work all around on a finicky model.

Looks like pictures of the original car. Beautiful finishes everywhere you look. Like the Beer Tap shift leaver, remember when that was a must have item. 

Thank fer yer comment, I tried to replicate the real cars shifter which wuz an "Old Tap" beer brand tap handle.

Superb build of a challenging kit. I still have the original Bob Johnston flathead version on my bucket list. But in the meantime I'm going to drool over yours.

Wow!  :)  I thought those were pics of the real car at first.  Outstanding job!  :)

 

My thoughts exactly. I thought...          " OK...that's the real car...now where's the pics of the model ? "

Beautiful build, really has 'the look'.  Out of curiousity, are the pinstripes from the actual kit, or did you use pinstriping on it?  If so, what striping did you use?  I have not found anything I like that is readily available.

Thank you fer yer comment. The pinstripe decals are in the latest restored release of the kit (circa 2012), took several sheets pieced together to get the "right" fit of the pinstripes as they do not quite fit the body correctly.
