1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT I made a set of exhaust tips that will need to be foiled. I trimmed the exhaust and mounted the new exhaust tips. I need to add some flat black paint to the inside of the new exhaust tips.

Steve H., nice work on this Olds 442! I am using this as an indication of tips for my Olds 442 W-30 that I am building. Keep up the good work! -
This kit shares parts with the '72 Hurst/Olds Convertible. I saw the Season 2 Episode 1 opener of Garage Squad were the Squad rebuilt a '72 Olds 442 from the ground up and it was gold with black stripes. I want that color on my Olds 442! Thanks Noah, David, Carl and Andy!

1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT One difference between the '67 Comet and the '67 Fairlane is the rear deck difference. The rear deck is longer on the Comet than the Fairlane and it shows in the AMT kit. I made a plate for the chassis which will be painted with Tamiya TS-6 Matt Black. The exhaust tips will either be bent into a straight position or removed for the aluminum tubing.

Thanks Andy!

I got the decals on, but I did break one of the long side decals, which is typical of me. I still have to repaint the hood and add the filler piece of the rear chassis. Moving ahead slowly!

1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT I glued the body on, but the exhaust tips are too far in under the body to be seen, plus there is a gap between the end of the chassis and the inside of the rear bumper. And, the hood is in need of a repaint.

Thanks Steve!

I painted the roof liner of my Merc today. The hood is in a container of Easy Off Oven Cleaner to remove a bad paint job. The Merc is now ready for assembly!

Thank you Atin and David! It is not something you see everyday, but it is a nice piece of history.

Here is a view of the back of the car with the exhaust tips and the bumper guards removed. I removed the front bumper guards, too.

Thank you Garry, James and Gary! I needed a vehicle for my McNally short story, "The Ex-Partner" and this Volvo was in need of a rebuild. It fit the need very well!

This is my Volvo 760 GLE that I rebuilt back in 2019. I lowered the suspension that made the car look like a 4X4 truck. It is a fine addition to my McNally, Boston PI short story entitled, "The Ex-Partner".

I rebuilt my Volvo 760 back in 2019 and lowered the stock suspension which looked like a 4X4 truck. I repainted my Volvo dark green with a tan interior. I left mine stock.
