I love the crazy exhaust on the '49. I got my popcorn ready, but this is already looking great!

Installed to front body post and worked the front fenders some more. I think I have the trumpet exhaust figured out. Since they are resin a little boiling water in a small bowl and I should be able to bend them. Then I have to cut them to size and drill out the ends. Not sure how I am going to mount them yet.

I started painting and decaling a couple 56 Fords. I have to clear coat these then do the final details. I need to look and see if I have any bare metal foil for these and the 65 Galaxie. They are shown with a MEV 57 Ford for comparison.

Got to love RRR decals

I also started the first 65 Galaxie. I used RRR basic Petty Numbers but had to use his Ford sheet for the 427's. You can make quite a few 65's with his N29 Late 60's FORD STOCKERS DECAL. It is shown with a Dash 63 Galaxy for comparison. I have to clear coat it and do the final details.

If you are wondering about the 99 I found the outside master for it. It is the best fitting and handling classic tjet body I ever made.

My first car was a 1952 Dodge Meadowlake that my grandmother left to me. My father stole it, but it is the car I practiced driving in, in 1966. That looks a lot like it. Congrats. That wasn't easy to get proportionally correct in HO.

In the picture with the '56 Fords, in the back ground is that a '54 Chevy I see?
