So far so good Dave looks like you are on your way to another cool modified. Cant wait to see the final build . Keep me in mind for late 30s and early 40s coupes and sedans

Love the paint scheme, looks great. I agree with Dixon John, you're going to need a bigger room.

Ok this is very cool. Really... i played with my uncle Rob's cars when I was little (Rob's like my dad since I never really had a father interested in playing with me when i was a kid). He got me into slots when I was like 5 years old and one of the first drawings I made when I was a kid survives today it's a crayon drawing of a Revell slot track. This car was part of those memories.

I am liking this. Not only the subject matter...but another look at your chassis design "Semi-Live".

Please note I used Instagram to filter this so there's a color shift that's intentional... another photo coming....

Yep, Good design for the highboy style chassis. Nice and solid too. Are you going to weather the car like the original, or do i just need to wait and find out? :lol:
I really like this car, it looks so Darn real!
