Here are a few of the starting pics of this build. The body work is to the point of seem fitting every thing and filling all in. Also the motor cover is done. The pics are the first few and I will have more to come in a week on what is finish now. The kits being used for this job are. 5 Tester 37 Ford Smoothsters, 4 Coupsters, 4 Vantastic kits all from Testers. 4 AMT Prowler, 3 Monogram 36 fords. Also the grill work was all hand made and its out of screan to fit flush with the body work, The hood hinge is hidden inside the window and dash. The firewall has ben seem fitted in and flush and so are the fenders. The rear was raised and redone with the lower pan remade to be seem fitted into the fenders. Hope you like every thing

Wow Great Job So Far Can't wait to see it finished I was lucky enough to meet Barry White,Becky( his wife),Jenn(his daughter), and Tony(His Street Rod Repair Company Partner/Right Hand) last year at the Seattle Roadster Show. My Father-In-Law and Barry have been Best Friends for years. Barry's Dyna-Ride IRS final design was improved upon by my Father-In-Law

Please forgive my ignorence but, why so many kits of the same type to build one model? I can understand combining kits but I think that this the first time that I have seen several of the same one used.

Why I use this many kits as because each kit mold has sink lines and flash lines in different places. Plus I had a lot of scratch built parts and redone parts to the chassis and front and rear parts so I did them in 3s so I could pick what ones are better then the other on how they come out.

Wow Chas,

That is real dedication to perfection. Thanks for the reply to what would seem a dumb question to some. I'm watching the progress pics and am really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

NP Milt any thing you need to know or just need let me know. If I have it your welcome to it just ask. This is one of the biggest things I learn at the GSL that we all need to help each other and its more of a shame if some one holds secrets then letting them know how to do it.

"Concept 36" is now in its secound coat of paint and ben wet sanded down. This car is starting to come to life. This style of paint and sand will be done 3 more times before the pearl is put onto it.
