  1. I'll certainly be following this build as it progresses; you're off to a great start!
  2. Nice build! Has the "look"! Sure would like to see some more pics of the interior, chassis and underhood areas! Its gonna need some license plates before you can take it out onto Main Street, too!
  3. Beautiful build! Your underhood detailing looks excellent! I have always thought this kit was overlooked by many builders; the execution by AMT/Ertl/Round-2?, (whoever AMT was working with in producing it back then), was stellar; it has excellent details, mold-quality and goes together well, and looks like the 1:1, too!
  4. Beautiful, (maybe that's not the best word-choice here)... how about "outstanding" build! Everything looks spot-on! I wonder if nearly everything in that River Rouge assembly plant turned OD Green from all that overspray during the war years!!??!!
  5. Excellent, excellent build! Your paintwork and detail work looks flawless! Those outdoor pics make it look like a 1:1!
  6. I wonder if that '65 Continental will be a convertible or suicide-door hardtop?
  7. Really like this build! It has the "look". I'd sure like to know what tires you used on this build.
  8. Dodgefever; Post a Want for that "Fly-eye" air cleaner in the forum's Wanted section; I'd bet you'll find someone who has one and would give or trade it to you!
  9. I'll certainly be watching this one as it progresses!
  10. He was a legend at engine building for certain. I wonder if he had been facing some sort of health issues.
  11. Sure would like to see a pic of its bottom-side; wondering how you did the rear-wheel drive/suspension set-up!
  12. Bill, I PM'd you about that trailer!
  13. I hafta agree with all the post comments listed above, but I'd certainly add that those wood-grain pieces inside on the console and dash really bring that interior to life, and the chassis looks pretty-darn good, too!
  14. Does that particular '57 Corvette kit come with a one-piece chassis or does it have separate suspension pieces?
  15. Really nice! There's a lot to like about this build! What color is that Green paint used on the engine block and suspension pieces?
  16. A fantastic looking survivor! There's a lot to like about this Vette build! i'd like to see more of that tow-car, too, and the trailer as well! Those both look to be exceptionally-well done, too! More pics please!
  17. Wow! This post will be saved as a build "...to inspire exceptional, clean and well-detailed building and the results that can be achieved." I'll look at this one often to motivate myself to hopefully, one day, be able to build a 1/25 model like this!
  18. Beautiful build! I have always loved this kit and the way it builds-up! You really did an outstanding job building this one pretty-much factory-stock, (like those engine mods, that great looking hood ornament is not quite factory-stock, but sure looks great)!
  19. Those are all outstanding looking builds! I'd sure like to have as productive of a month as you had! One question on the Stingray; was it difficult to install the luggage rack on the trunklid? I think that luggage rack is an outstanding detail-piece, but glueing one onto the trucklid straight and in the correctly-center-positioned seems like a difficult and intimidating thing to do in my mind; was it a challenge or pretty easy to install?
  20. A beautiful build! All of the details look spot-on! Nice work!
  21. Love this build! Sure would like to see some new kits of this classic race car subject-matter!
  22. Top-side view https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzYij7c508oiMzFvUmtDa3E1enRMZ2ROT1ZnSThGSUFQaERn/view?usp=sharing

  24. Can anyone help me identify which 1/24 or 1/25 kit this side-draft Weber carbs chrome piece came in? It is molded all as one-piece... the first pic below shows the top-side; the second pic shows the underside. Thanks for the help. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cuw6qCpaCdvKZKDu2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/7ncC13VvIEw7tUzW2
  25. A beautiful, beautiful build! My best friend's mother drove one of these when I was growing up, but her's was Medium Blue with a Blue interior. I don't know how many Little League baseball games I went to in the back seat of that Ford, but it was alot. Your build brought back some good memories for me! I sure wish this vintage kit could find its way onto the reissue list, but I doubt that will ever happen!
