the few things i can say are this. 1 i've been building car models since i was about 6 (for 13 years) and rarely do i have one come out looking that good much less a skill level 5. and 2 that car would wipe the floor with nearly all the car models i've seen in my life. Keep up the great work. and try not to fight over the next few kits.

Fantastic work! Hope you two know how to compromise, or you'll both be fighting over the kits! Wink [;)]

At this time the car is almost finished she still has some things to do on it but here are some progress pix at this time. Keep in mind I had to remove the rear window for her and try to fix some FOG that the glue left on it. the repair did not go well so I had to scratch a new rear window for her. It is not in yet. She has 4 days left to finish it for we hit the road to take this kit to Ohio from Texas to give it to her father on Friday. I hope that you all like the progress on this, My wifes first attempt at ths addiction, we call modeling.

Thanks alot for all of the good words she is VERY proud of all of your good words.
Tigertankman This is her very first kit. That is why she went with the 1/12 scale for the size. She sees all of the ones that I do and she did not think that she could do all of the detail that she wanted to do for her Father. Look for progress pix on the Hot Rod and Muscle Car GB. We will post finish pix at the end of this build. Time line for the finish date will be July 28, 2005 for we are going to Dayton, Ohio to give this kit to her father personally.

RadMax8 we are going to scuff up the back tires for they are drag race slicks. The front tires are just standard street tires.
