Here's my top 5. I like the looks of the '65 Riviera a lot better- the hidden lights clean up the front of the car nicely. The '66 Toro is a given- Bill Mitchell's homage to the '36 Cord. '75 Monza fastback- the Vega goes uptown. With a V8, they were also quick. The 1936 LaSalle (for those of you with longer memories) saved the marque for another few years and was art deco gorgeous. Everybody slams the Corvair, but the second generation ('65-'69) is well nigh perfect from any angle (as an aside, only in America can a trial lawyer who doesn't hold a driver's license or ever owned a car be considered an automotive 'expert'). Honorable mention- the entire '65 range of B and C bodies, '40 Cadillac Sixty Special, '57 Eldorado Brougham, '53 Skylark and the '68 A body range.

I still like the Fisker....

"Mom, someone crashed a Ferarri into your minivan.'' I love it.

Veddy eenterstink. Great concept.

And to show there's nothing new under the sun...

I was on Tesla's website a few weeks ago- you can option one out virtually. Not bad looking at all, but I love the Fisker more because you don't have to plug it in. It has a 2liter gas engine that comes on to charge the batteries when needed.Think diesel-electric locomotive.

The '62 could be the red convert in Its A Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Sweet build.I drove a bunch of those Caprices when I was a cabbie in a previous life.

Ready for the bullring. Love it.

Looks really good.

Great job on the Duster. The paint is excellent, and I love your engine detailing.

Wow. That is one great save.

Thanks, Charlie. The wheels came with the kit but I thought the Gatorbacks looked somewhat more contemporary (at least until the mid-nineties ). And thanks, Harry. All I need now is a tripod (humans make lousy tripods). I almost forgot- it received several coats of Dupli-Color clear.

I like it already.

Nice bunch o'cars there, Adam. Nice work.

A great looking wagon. I like the everyday, dog dish hubcap look.

Where is that museum located? Is that grey one a Crosley?

That girl has some rather odd arms. But the car is kinda cool. That grey sedan in the background looks like a '47 Frazer that shrank after it was washed. I like that one, too.

Decisions, decisions. Love 'em both.

I just thought that the rear panel was always a pain on the 24th and 25th scale Mustangs from Revell and Monogram (Revell based this kit on Monogram's 1:10 scale master). My other gripe is the fit of the hood. Other than that, its probably me being too fussy about little things. No in progress interior pics, but all I did was mix blue with its complent orange to play offthe blue on the outside, than just drybrushed Polly S reefer white over it. Thanks for the compliments everyone. I had fun building this one. Now its on to the Torino (yet another one)'

And his speed boat .

Yeah, gotta adress that. The wheels were a somewhat sloppy fit on the Eagles. They're not glued to the stubs, so I can do some fine tuning later. I just wanted to get it off my bench and into my cabinet (this was a rather fussy build).

What I don't understand is if you're going to the trouble of a new decal sheet (btw, those flamed GT stripes are great), why not throw in some instrument decals for those of us that are lousy at detailing instruments?

Just finished this one. Its the Motor City release (and hey, Revell, Motor City is not hyphenated!!!). Really nothing special here. The color is Testors De Ja Blue over white primer. I swapped in a set of Monogram Eagles for rolling stock. I never cared for the hood hinges on these kits, so I made one out of brass rod and tubing. It worked fine and fit perfectly until I got it together and slid the hood onto the hinge for one last time, and now. it doesn't want to close properly (I'll just slide it off the hinge and set it on top for display purposes). I've been experimenting with color and shading. I painted the seats and door panels with a mix of blue and orange and then drybrushed the white over that to bring out the texture and add some shadow to the white.

That is one sweet Edsel. I love it.
