blazefox Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 those are nice seats if you drill holes in he side you have instant bomber seats
Dogfish_7 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Looking better every time I see it! You're a Sick man Dr. C
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 We are making slow progress weathering this one . . . and enjoying the process, subtly and precisely adding just enough touches to make it go . . .
cobraman Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Looks great ! That kit was made to Crankyized !
rmvw guy Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 It looks like you were serious when you said it would be finished this week end. The only thing I still do not see is the guitar and you did say you were doing it last as I recall. You are a man with a plan indeed! Thanks Doc, you have inspired me to try and finish one this week end.
Ira Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 GREAT BUILD DR.!!! Love the Skull in the Radiator Shell...

Thanks Doc, you have inspired me to try and finish one this week end. LOL, why did you think I said this weekend? Because I have to finish the guitar! I am looking forward to it. Billy Gibbons "Gibson Bones"! Stay tuned for more progress. I just finished adding a last few rounds of dust and dirt . . .
jrherald420 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 That hood looks jacked up. Love the model without it! Are you planning on building another one of these?
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 I sure am, James. As a matter of fact, this kit is my number one contender for Doctor Cranky's ONE-MODEL-A-MONTH-FOR-TWELVE-MONTHS build in 2014. Working with this kit to see how different each model can be, six shiny and six not. What is it that you don't like about the hood?
John Teresi Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Dr........this build sure is sweet man !!!!!!.........turned out fantastic.........love all the unique details
Ace-Garageguy Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Love it. Frankly, I think the porthole hood works much better with your irreverent build style than it does on the shiny original.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 2, 2013 Author Posted February 2, 2013 I think the hood looks cool.. one thing about these old ford roadsters. there is a billion in 1 ways to build them. Precisely why this one is a great contender for my year-long, one-model-per-month build. Dr........this build sure is sweet man !!!!!!.........turned out fantastic.........love all the unique details Thanks, John, coming from you that's a real energy boost! Love it. Frankly, I think the porthole hood works much better with your irreverent build style than it does on the shiny original. Bill, I think the trick for a shiny one might be not to use the inserts and just put a nice mesh that looks in scale. Or, drill out the inserts too.
shucky Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Looks great Doctor! Picked one up myself after seeing your progress. Nice work as usual!
LoneWolf15 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Best you save some time for building a few others on down the line . There's a rumor in the wind that somebody is looking for you ! Just wanted to give you a heads up , he's a bit of a motor mouth .

Johnny1973 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Thats one awesome 32, Dr Cranky. Awesome job!
jrherald420 Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) What is it that you don't like about the hood? It looks to me like it doesn't fit or line up very well. The back looks low, the front looks too high and the body line doesn't match up. I don't know if that's what you trying do or if it was something with the kit. Either way I love the build and like it better without the hood. Edited February 2, 2013 by jrherald420
Alyn Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Fantastic job with the patina, VIrgil. Fantastic job all around, but your paint work is superb.
crazyrichard Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 came out awsome !!!!!!!!!!! i think without the white door / trunk logos it would also be very cool but this also looks great the weathered look is just perfect ... love all the details especially like the thread of the rear tyres , usually i have thos revell ones that keep having a thick line in the middle of the thread when you sand it it doesnt get much better , smooth but still... cant waight to see the next build
