Oh, I do love some nice scallops!! Those look excellent over the racing white. This is going to be sweet!

Great looking paint! Engine looks awesome - how did you do the plugs? Thanks John. The spark plugs were made from brass tube 0.8 o.d. x 0.6 i.d. and a piece of wire that fit inside the tube. After I glued the plugs in the motor I painted them white to give them that spark plug look. |

I cannot love this enough. The scallops and color combo are excellent. Looks awesome with the moon tank and Duvall windshield too. And I love the interior. Great work.

I've gotta tell ya Mike....I simply cannot get enough of seeing your work. Brilliant paint job and the work that you put into that engine really shows dude. I can't get over the spark plugs!!  |

Mike,
I just found your custom Rod build, and it's simply an outstanding build. Absolutely love the White body paint and the contrasting Red scallops. Plenty of chrome everywhere in the build as that's what the real deal back on those days did.

That's pretty darn cool. I went hunting for this kit and found the '29 roadster kit on sale for 19.99 and if you sign up you get a $5 voucher. Great price on Revell kits here: carrera-revell-toys.com/revell/cars |
