   " I like that it's red, but not "in your face look at me" red."
   Agreed! Very classy.

   Gotta love a red Chevelle! May I ask what shade of red that is?
   I've had one of these on the bench for soooo long; still fight it when I have a few spare moments...

   File a bevel on the end of an old mechanical pencil or technical pen to male nice circles!

   "... I wish I could remember where I got the clear red lights on yellow and black car - they were a custom option in an early '60s AMT kit."
   Might we see a pic?

    Groovy color! What's the interior gonna be? White? Parchment? Buckskin? Black?

    VERY cool windshiel/glass tips. Have you painted or tinted any of this pvc sheet? Just wondering how well it accepts paint. Has anyone vacu-formed any of this material?

    Steve, you are pretty close; I'm going to do my ham-fisted best to convert them to '59 Imperial LeBaron caps!

    Nice choice of wheels/tires, and glad to see the body clean!

    Very imaginative stuff here!  If I may suggest one thing, I'd lose the rear "wheel "shaped thingies, they look so bulky they throw off the balance of your design, and to me they still look too much like wheels/tires, where the rest of the vehicle is way out there! Compare your treatment of the front wheel area to the rear - the front is much more creative. I do like the VTOL aspect of the rear area, just not the tire-shaped blobs.. I only comment because I really LOVE this kind of creative stretch of our hobby, and want to see this design soar!
    Here's a thought; take a couple of 1/72 A-10's turbine housings (2 kits worth-can be cheap snap-tites) using one grouped pair per side, attached to the rear sides in the wheel area, connected to each other by a rod so they actually rotate down and back as needed. Add rivets, fins, pipes, hoses, and antennae to taste. Fun stuff!

    Another reason I'm following this one - it was my dad's favorite car of all he ever owned. He swears to this day NOTHING rode and drove so fine as his 4-door yellow and white '58!
