Hi Mark, I really dig the Phone Booth show rod. It looks like the valve covers you are planning on using are from a 426 Hemi. I believe that the actual car is the earlier Hemi with the distributor in the rear. Either way, I'm looking forward to this build. Thank you very much for sharing your work!

Thank you very much my friend!! You’re correct about the valve covers. I thought, as a show rod goes, they may not be 100% correct but they’re better than the kit covers. LOL Thanks again brother!!

What a cool build Mark!!

Mark, What I do for warpages is to clamp the part to a piece of wood get it straight and than put it in my food dehydrator for a couple of hours. Take it out and let it cool before removing the clamps. I'd just replace that glass with evergreen. Good luck with the build. I never had that kit.

Ordinarily, I'm not interested in building models of this sort of odd, fictional vehicle, but if they were still making this kit, I'd maybe get one. Interesting review.

Thank you my friend! It’s not my usual genre, but I built this one back in the 60s. Great memories! Glad to see it again! Thanks again!

Nice start to the kit. Everything in the box could have been chrome plated. Thanks for sharing.

Had that kit back in '68. Never built it. Brother never had respect for other peoples property. Saw the real car at a show, neat show car. Looking at how bad the tire burn is, I don't think I would try to salvage it just replace it. The planned mods would look good. Love to see the finished build.

Thank you very much brother!! I agree about the window. I think it will be easier to just replace it. Appreciate you watching! Have a great week!!

@@MarkBatsonHobbydude007 Appreciate your work. Gives me some ideas. Cutting away that tire burn area, obviously leaves some good clear plastic for other projects. I've got a '40 sedan build I'm working on, fabricated the entire exhaust system on the flathead. Experimenting with some very fine copper wire to wire the ignition. This wire comes out of old radios, fans,and miscellaneous dead electronic items. I am a scrounger. This is an essentially a stock kit flathead. Modified the intake manifold to Accept dual carbs.

Being an MPC kit it needs a lot of clean up but it's really looking good now, nice work on the seams and fitment. I would use the stool in a diiorama an make one that looks like the original post stool.
