  1. Nice build . I love the gaffer tape on the Huey
  2. Bill I have followed your Impala build from the very beginning and its hard to believe that its been nearly 4 years . Im so impressed with your attention to detail and your methods . I would like to say thank you for such a great build . I have learned so much from you and ive been building most of my life (35 years) I don't think I will ever reach your standard of workmanship but I will keep trying keep at it .
  3. Nice work Ken. On the home strait now
  4. Very tough looking Dan what colours are you thinking?
  5. Should be in primer tonight and with a bit of luck paint tomorrow (fingers crossed)
  6. Thanks for that Steven that's a good idea . I think I will try that
  7. Really nice work on the rad Richard . The cap is nice too
  8. James that is a beauty you did a fantastic job on restoring that one . I not overly fussed about the trim not being well defined as the 1/1's seem to meet the body fairly flush. So I will just BMF it and make sure the lines are as strait as possible
  9. The body has now been sanded smooth and its ready for a coat of primer . Comments welcomed
  10. I like it as it is ! Well done . What is the red you used?
  11. That chassis fits in their really well . I will be looking forward to more
  12. She looks like she needed a bit of TLC but saveable ? Do you know what happened to her? was she saved?
  13. Thank you for the info Steven/Tom . I had not noticed the missing chrome detail under the fins. That's going to be fun to try and do them These Buick's are one of my top 5 cars of all time . I love the aggressive front and the angled fins. Tom I bet you wish you still had the 1/1 Electra ?
  14. Yeah that looks mean
  15. WOW Steve I hope mine turns out as nice as yours...! Im missing the mirror but im sure the spares box will have something close . That is the colour I had seen . I have a hole in my A pillar would that be for a lamp or a different mirror location ?
  16. My HT has a Convertible interior tub . I assume they did both with the same tub...?
  17. David I had seen the second OEM paint job you speak of and I thought that it was a custom car . Maybe I will consider doing it that way ? The sink mark on the roof was doughnut shaped..?
  18. Thanks Jeff there was some bad sink marks all over the roof hood and trunk that have had to be filled
  19. Thanks Bill . I have been wanting one of these Buicks for a long time. I won't be removing any trim so it will just be stock with nice rims on. There is a nice stock pink colour with white roof that I have seen
  20. Ive just got this oldie out of storage to give myself a break from the charger build. I am thinking of doing it in metallic purple with a white roof. The body is in very good condition. But their was some bad sinking in the roof and fins Comments welcome
  21. Hi all well I managed to get a bit of time to get the door card tops swapped just a bit of fine tuning . So now I have the correct padding and wood trim to match the 1/1. The window cranks will be replaced with PE. Also I redid the door slots as there was some faint lines showing. Hopefully that should be the end of filling the body. All being well I should get it in final priming soon. As always comments good or bad welcome
  22. Hi all well I got a tiny little update. Not much but its something done. After a long search I think I have the closest colour to Chrysler blue. As always comments good or bad welcome
  23. That's much better Great details . Very realistic builds
  24. Not to sure why that posted twice ...?
