hey guys
Here is the latest in my series of "cant find it or just flat cant afford it" cars. I recently asked if anyone had one of these I could borrow, not expecting to find one of course, but worth a shot :lol:. the AxelR version of this thing is well beyond my wallet. I had started one a few months ago but got frustrated with it so I put it down for a while. A recent request for it rekindled the desire for one, so out it came, looked at it and threw it in the trash and started over :lol: took a different approach to it this time and I am pretty happy with it so far. its about ready for a sealer coat I think. so here is what I am after.



and here is where I am at so far

Awesome start, Mickey!

Looking good Mickey, not an easy shape to do!

Regards, Lloyd

Man what can I say..except your talents just simply amase me,I had no idea what this car even looked like or what to look for! this is gonna be a sharp lil car guys,and tha good part is you can set behind your puter and watch it as it`s developed from scratch,yeah scratch no mold to work from,that is nothing but raw talent,I don`t think some of ya realise or appreciate what this guy does for this scale,think about tha man hours involved just finding the specs for these things prior to ever getting it to this stage,great stuff Mick and I`m not even a Sport Car dude! :lol:

thanks guys
this is going a lot smoother than the last attempt at it. still got that 69 amc scrambler sittin on the shelf that I got frustrated with, might be time to finish it while I am in the basswood mood :lol: . here are some progress shots. got the fender flares finalized and ready for a bit of bondo to feather them in and got the panel lines laid out for scribing. the lower portion of the taillight panel is too tall and needs to be shaved a little and then I need to decide on which configuration I want to put in it. I held off on the seal coat for now, just toooo cold in the shop even with that jet engine of a heater I have.

I second what the Great Hoos says.You are an artist.In having received some of your work,the pictures show your talent ..

Mickey - you Sir are an artist. And a nut. And crazy...

Seriously, awesome work! I WISH I could carve like that!

a nut and crazy, yeah I can totally live with that :lol: :lol: :lol:
