Excellent build. Very nice. Scott

Great pun, Mark! I love it. Scott

Stunning! Very nice. The colors are prefect for the car. Scott

Never said I was brightest bulb in the bunch! Scott

Thanks for photos Jim. Very nice job, as always. By the way, for Tom and others, Firebird does make the same decals for other soft drinks. And some not so soft drinks. So I hope this may inspire more people to build more Beer Wagons as something other than the Beer Wagon. It would be fun to see what others come up with. Scott

Another great build Jarkko. I'm always impressed with your work. And your concepts. Erik Smith brought up the idea of the Baron cruising around with a surf board on the rack. But, wasn't sure were the Baron could surf? Wasn't he born and raised not far from the Batic Sea? I've never been there. Being that Finland is close by, I'm guessing you may have Jarkko. How are the waves on the Baltic? I think the Baron needs a surf board to go with his Beetle. By the way, I love swamp cooler in the passenger's window with the Germany sticker on the rear. A perfect 1950's accessory. Does anybody make these for model cars? Or does one have to scratch build one? Scott

Very nice Olds. I love police cars. Especially the ones used by the Highway Patrols. I am a little unclear on one thing about your build. Did CHP ever drive '50 Oldsmobiles? If not they should have. The Olds 88 was one of the fastest cars on the road at the time. I'm very much OK with building "phantom" cars if they look right. I'm not saying your Olds is a phantom. But, if it is, it's cool. I'm in the planning stages of building 5 Minnesota Highway Patrol cars. None of which will be 100% correct. I have had the decals made, so I'm almost ready to go. I plan doing Revell's '57 Ford Custom and '90 Mustang LX, AMT's '70 Galaxie, MPC's Rosco's Sheriffs Dodge, and JoHan's '68 Plymouth as MN Highway/State Patrol cars. The '57 will be incorrect because I'm going paint it like the '58 cars. 1958 was the first year the Minesota cars were paint Maroon. Which is still used to this day. The others? Minnesota drove '67 Plymouths and not '68s. '69 Fords, rather than '70s. Late 70's were Plymouth Furys, rather than Dodge Monacos. And Minnesota did run Mustangs, but they were unmarked cars. Were I'll be building mine as a marked car. None of the cars will be right. But, so what. Close enough. And I'll be happy. Scott

Nice rescue of an old kit. Results are great. A modern update on the Bondinat Cobra. The Bondiant Cobra was convertible version of the Cougar II. I bet Bondinat himself would have liked it. Scott

This is nice. Scott

Wow! Very nice job on both! In fact, I think it maybe the best job I've even seen on an old Aurora/Polar Lights 1/32 scale Batmobile. Scott

I owned a '77 white Monte with a red Landau roof. My sister had a '79 Monte the same color as the '79 model shown here. At the time she had her's, I thought those third generation Montes were ugly. As time moves on, those '78 and '79 Monte Carlos don't look so bad any more. I was never a big fan of looks of second generation Monte either. Despite owning one. If I were to go for a second gen Monte, it would be its first year, 1973. The Monte I've always like from day one, were first generation. Especially the '70. Still I need to build a '77 someday. I have original promos of the '78 and '79. And I have the most recent kit AMT did several years ago of the 1970. Now if somebody would do a nice '73, I'd be happy. Scott

Hit the nail on the head with this one. It's simply beautiful. It also takes me back to my youth, when I mostly build my kits using the custom parts that came in the box. I remember building this one the same way. But, no where near as well as yours. Very nice. I like it. Scott

Both Barons are cool. But, I especially like your hood scoop on the modified one. Scott

Fred, I like the build, and I love the back story on why the modifications would have been done. Plus I love that you show Batman beating on Superman in the background. A fun build and a fun story to go with it. Scott

The Riv you built is very nice. Very clean. Rivieras look best left clean like yours, without a vinyl roof. Buick felt that way at the time too. Go back and look at their ads for this generation Riviera. Rarely will see one with a vinyl roof. The Dodge van looks great too. Except, is that a bench seat I see? With the engine location and dog house for such engine, that would not work without major modifications to the structure of the whole van. Other that, from the one picture it looks pretty good. Scott

First time two toning? You did a great job. Scott

Never seen an RC version built Jim. Any chance you can post pictures? Scott

Very nice! I like it. Scott

OK, despite all the complaining, like Revell's new '70 'Cuda and their '90 Mustang LX, I'll be buying this kit. The complaints I hear on these are minor to me. I love the 'Cuda and Mustang I've already purchased. And I've seen one or two '58 Corvettes built up. From what I've seen, I want one. It looks good to me. Looks a lot better than Revell or AMT's '59/'60 Corvettes tooled up back in the 1960's. And yet I've built those too and was happy. Very little is perfect. And that's OK in most cases for me. Scott

Very cool! One mean looking truck. I would like to know more about this build. As Mr. Gilmore asked, I too want to know where the V12 came from? Man, I like this rig. Scott

I think the Stooges had Dewey, Cheatem and Howe way before Click and Clack did. Listening to Tom and Ray, I'd be willing to bet they're Three Stooges fans and picked that name for their legal teem for that reason. Scott

Wow! Ready to go to the disco with this one. I love blue. I paint most of my models one shade of blue or another. But, for some reason this is too much blue. I like it and I don't like it at the same time. Nice job though. Scott

Very cool and sequential turn signals too. Love sequential turn signals. Scott

Way to go. Very nice job. Has she built anything more in the last year? Scott

Very nice Matthew. Color and graphics really make the car. Very cool. Scott
