Clean build. Good job John!

I’ve had no issues with Duplicolor clear over Tamiya acrylics. Obviously Tamiya’s clear works well too and I’ve just bought a can of the Rustoleum clear but just haven’t had a chance to test it. Sounds like it works good and you can’t beat the price.

Welcome Amin!

Great paint! Welcome!

As a rule I’m not a fan of big hoops but these look great on the Imp. Great build!

Will follow closely. These are the kind of projects I love watching and doing!

I may have misunderstood which isn't surprising ?

Unfortunately Paypal charges you 2.9% + .30 each time you use it instead of your credit card. My understanding anyway.

Good to have you Mark!

Good for you not getting outbid. I've found the past couple of months prices on the bay have gone kinda nuts. Not just asking prices but sold prices.

Have to admit I'm a stock wheel cover guy, but I'd have to agree with the wide whites and either wires or chrome reverse. Not sure which direction you're headed, but the big boat Buick looks killer when lowered with wide whites and custom wheels.

Looks good to my eye! Sometimes we're our worst critic

Great clean build Dave! Love the shade of yellow also.

Congrats Rog! Beautiful!

I have two tubs of Super Clean next to each other. The first is the "dirty" one that I start with when I have heavily painted stuff to strip. I leave it in this one for whatever it takes to get the worst of the paint off then put it in the second tub that is much cleaner. I've found that fresh Super Clean seems to strip better than older, more used fluid. I strip a fair amount of stuff and as a rule am pretty happy with Super Clean. I also use an ultrasonic machine with Super Clean for stubborn chassis, interior parts, etc. Things with lots of nooks and crannies. The machine seems to warm the fluid on it's own enough that I don't often use the heat settings. I agree about lacquers and alcohol. It's only when Super Clean fails that I use alcohol but have had luck with it.

I've repaired a few A pillars and you're right about this! Thanks Bill

I guess when I posted I'd already knew the answer about the GM roof lines being shared, and that there may be differences between Johan and AMT/SMP/Revell for kits from 59 and 60. I probably should have asked specifically whether there might be differences between 59 and 60 GM big bodies. If the 59 and 60 are the same that would give me more options to look for junk bodies to be a donor. I hadn't really even considered the Revell Chevy kits at this point. I have a built 59 Revell Chev that I can compare as best I can when I receive the Olds. Thanks Tom

To my eye the C pillars on 2 door HT Bonneville's, Impala's, Invicta's, and Olds 88/98's from both 1959 and 1960 are the same? From pics on Google Image they sure seem to be, but was wondering if anyone here is sure. I have a Johan 60 Olds 2dr that I need to replace the C pillar and was hoping to swap in an AMT GM 59 or 60 junkyard replacement. I'm not even sure that would even work, but if not I'd just have to fab and replace the one I need. Thank you

Great build Mario! Love, love the color choice!

Welcome Ron! Your story is certainly similar to most of us here. I'm "only" 68 but share your concern about the physical part of building models (eyes and dexterity), but have learned to adjust my expectations of my finished product and found that I'm just as happy building a nice curbside than I was years ago spending days detailing interiors and engines. A good paint job and foiling can go a long way to making you proud

Great job!

Welcome Jordan! Good for you to introduce your grandson to the hobby. I have six grandsons (all over 18 now) and tried to interest each of them to modeling at one time or another and only one continued on. It's not easy to get them going with a hobby that requires patience and is somewhat slow. Too many easy distractions today for them. Good luck and hope to see some of your builds.

Congrats, beautiful job! So clean and crisply done!

Amazingly good Rog!
