Welcome, Michel. Hope you will enjoy the forum.

Very neat build of a beautiful car. Front fender wells look like NASCAR T Bird. This looks like something I would attempt (mine would not be this clean, though!) I use a lot of the GTO chassis under Collonades because of the detail. Lately I have been using 68 Chevelle. Same wheelbase, excellent detail and the frame and floor pan are separate so easy to modify.

Welcome, Arlen. Hope you will enjoy the forum.

I really liked this car that I built over 12 years ago. After a few moves, it seems to have disappeared along with many of my FOTKI album photos ( where the heck do they go?) I don't think that I will ever be able to replicate this build but, who knows? All I have left are these photos.

No apologies needed, I was just happy to help.

If it's Boeing, I ain't going...

I had to jack the radiator up 1/8" as the fan blade was setting to high. The parts box headlight lens have been shaved down to fit the headlight buckets and I'm liking how they are fitting. Also I got the distributor wired.

No burro's were harmed in the building of this Hondo but a Snow Mobile is in a unmarked grave...

Items like that, not available to the general public, should be good in the future. Another similar item, done prior to the 1960 AMC piece, was a larger scale Hudson body. Those are grails among the Hudson crowd, and always have been.

i think this must be a "first" even for the hardcore truckster builders.

I have a friend who worked at Boeing. He said ever since Lockheed Martin was part of Boeing things went down hill. Boeing had three inspections per assembly, then it went down to 2. Then one. That’s when he quit. I’ll never forget his quote ( it will be amazing if the doors do not blow off this thing) that was awhile ago and here it happened. Bean counters are not always a good thing.

Welcome! Enjoy your stay! Can't wait to see what you have done!

Welcome to the forum! Great folks here, and skill levels as well. Can't wait to see what you share with us!

Welcome to the forum, Arlen.

Welcome Michel.

Are there any differences between the 2 kits besides engine, decals and wheels? Thanks Mike

very cool. new dealers' promos? i see them as collectibles for the future.

In progress Chaparral , Targa Florio 1967 ,pilot Phil Hill The base model from IXO 1/43: Disassembly and stripping of the body work A little putty to plug the air inlet not present at the targa Enlargement and opening of the radiator air intakes . Before After ,other side to be done ......... Ready to be painted !!!

Jo-Han made one along those lines for AMC. It was the structure of a 1960 Rambler, which was a unit body car when few cars manufactured here were at the time. But for '60 there were more: Chrysler reworked all of their platforms except the Imperial, and GM and Ford's new compacts were unit body. But Nash was first before becoming part of AMC.

Now that's what I'd like!

Getting an oil change this morning for the wife’s Volvo and saw this model display. Looks to be around 1/16 scale I think a model kit with an actual subframe structure would be very cool. Wish someone would produce one. Maybe something out there I could print. This would be perfect since I can’t print full size bodies. Build plates too small.

Thanks for showing the superb photo's. Whereabouts was the show, our son is in Calgary?

That is really cool, Tim!

I agree but it paused a few times at the end of a cycle and flashed it wanted to run a "self clean" cycle. Does seem stupid and reading the owners manual I decided I'd go ahead and do it. Big mistake! I hope to learn a couple of things from the repair person. Sometimes they can give you some tips about these bells and whistles with these new machines.

Haven't seen a Neon on the road in many years it seems like. They seem to have all rusted away here.
