Thank you Gregory for your kinds words. the Chasis is upcoming, and it is proving more difficult than the engine. But i take my time, and hope it looks good.

Really clean job on the engine. The artwork on these Prudenzio hot rods is beautiful. Can't wait to watch this one come together.

Hi Dented Rick:
Sorry if I'm staring at the tree in the middle of the forest, but what are those red suports? Are you using some kind of magnetic jig?
The assembly is very neat and Zio's Fabrizzio model very beautiful

Thank you for your kind words, Im hoping I can build it right. Those little red supports are 1/24th scale Jack stands. I wanted to keep the model off the table, and these were not only handy, but appropriate.

I love the jack stands. Your photos are so good, and the build so precise it looks like the real thing being built in a cement floored garage. Inspirational job. You're making me hungry to build Prudenzio's drag racing version of the '32 roadster.

I agree about the jack stands, they look just right. Very clean build as well. It looks like those '50's and '60's Revell kit box arts.
