That is gorgeous. 

I've got one I bought from Dave VdW when they first came out. Your work is awesome, it's motivated me, and given me great ideas. Thanks for schooling me

I have some rivet counting to do now.... 

Now Mike, let me save you some trouble. I didn't count them going on, so you know... 

It was good to meet you last weekend. I really appreciate the feedback you have given me on this one so far!

Art.... I got Edsel on the Brain... 

[Art Laski]

Thanks for looking, guys. Since I missed the DSC deadline, I'm now shooting for the So Cal NNL on May 1st.

Here's just a couple of shots of the completed tires.

Looks really interesting !!

[Nytrozilla]

Art, good call on the black valve stems. Rubber stems or a tube would have been right. Chrome or aluminum would have looked out of place.

 

[Mooneyzs]

Art... Those wheels are looking sweet Brother. I can't wait to see more of this build. I know you are in the home stretch.

[crazyrichard]

nice !!!

[mod3l Lover]

    That color on there looks so perfect!

Again, I can't help but say how beautiful

this car is looking. I just love it!

Thanks a lot, guys! I really appreciate all the comments.

Here's the dashboard I got done today. I compared it to the kit piece and the real car.

[John Teresi]

Art......very nice Brother......EXCELLENT  indeed!!!!!!

[afx]

Dash look great Art.

[cobraman]

It sure does.

[Mooneyzs]

Art... that dash is gorgeous my friend. Wow what a difference between what you did and the kits dash. You knocked it out of the park. Is the glass in the guages made from the glue I picked up from you at the DSC?

[blunc]

looks spot on, excellent.

[Art Laski]

John, JC, Mike, Ray, and Chris- Thanks for your comments! I really appreciate you looking in.

Chris, I tried it, but it wasn't working in this case. Because it's water soluble, it was causing the ink on the gauge faces to bleed. I even coated them with Krylon acrylic clear like I usually do with inkjet decals, but it didn't stop it, so I used epoxy instead and it worked great.
