Thanks guys. Don't know if he cruises the internet but it would be cool if he could see it on a google search someday. Probably say "I remember that car but that sure doesn't look like anything I ever drove".

Thanks, Cat. I just started it yesterday but it's not a stock car so I need to see what forum here I can put it in. Thanks again for your interest in the build.

I posted on the Model Car Magazine forum too, but that is one beautiful Fairlane Mark. As always, well thought out and detailed. Well done! Looking forward to the next one.

Thanks, Steve and Michael. I appreciate your takes on the build and taking time to state them. Steve, the next build is not a stock car so it's down at the bottom of the forums here in the everything but short track forum. It's going to be a guessing game at the beginning to find out if anybody can tell me exactly what I'm building. There is no kit, and it will be completely scratch built from the ground up using only styrene and some household items. Stop by if you have the time and try to guess what it is. Clues will show up during the wip that might lead you down the path that figures it out. The winner gets nothing but satisfaction that they figured it out first.

A lovely looking build, very striking.

The red wheels, on 90's Winston cars I think they look 'cute' but on this car they just look mean.
