[Roncla]

That one ticks all the boxes. Great work.

[bondo bill]

very cool builds -love the 49's- i built one stock now I need to do a hot rod/custom

[Fortheloveofgassers]

Very nice. Love the bumpers on your custom.

[rmvw guy]

The AMT cat on the back is cool. I like stock on the '49 too but, you nailed the '50s custom look on the new one. I always love your models Tulio!

[bobthehobbyguy]

I love the contrast between your two cars! Great builds, especially starting in the parts box for the custom!

As always my friend. 2 Fantastic Fords.

Excellent.

Nice job on both! How did you do the firewall on the custom? The look is a nice touch.

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Guys, thank you very much for all the positive feedaback!!!

I'm also sorry for not being able to answer before, as I was getting problems connecting to the site. Kept getting a error 403 message.

Looks like you are curious about the firewall detail. I would love to say I used some fancy technique to do that, BUT I didn't.

I just glued a piece of the seal of a powder milk can to the firewall. It already comes in that cool "diamond" pattern.

Take a look:

I used to trow those away, because on factory stock modeling I saw no use for them, but started to keep them.

The battery terminal clamps (cable ends) that are bolted to the posts on the battery are they "LEGO" man hands? thats sort of what they resemble care to share what they are or where you get them or how you make them?

That battery came from a Pontiac Catalina kit. Other than detail painting, I did nothing to it.
