because Bob thinks the board is slowing down. ;D This is NOT a rat rod, IT'S A BEATER. This was built MANY years ago before Revell did a coupe. This is an old R&R resin body that was terrible. I spent many hours correcting the body, then opened and hinged the doors and trunk. Dead butterfly in grille (this was before '37 photoetched grilles), faded and rusted paint, worn upholstery, worn running board rubbers. etc. Hot-running, worn out old flathead. Junk in da trunk. Club members used to call this the "bird shit car" for obvious reasons.

This thing is really cool Lyle! You have a lot of stuff that most of us on here haven't seen. (shit, you have more finished builds than most of us have unstarted kits!) It would be cool to see some more of the old stuff now and then. You probably even have a build that was done during the years this board is a tribute to..... Seriously(not really), I wouldn't be surprised if you have builds as old as me at least!

Man that thing is great!! I really dig the trunk! It looks like I'm peering in to the trunk of one of my Grandfather's old cars.

Great build, Lyle. Very subtle and convincing. I like it a lot. Can I borrow the keys?
