  1. Nice collection of Oldsmobiles Great stuff. I especially like the '59 and '57.
  2. Because mirrors have an annoying tendency to disappear into the vapor.
  3. Veddy nice indeed.
  4. Period perfect. Really good stuff.
  5. I'm impressed. Nice to do a shiny one once in a while, isn't it? Really nice. Can you say 'moonshine car', boys and girls? I knew you could.
  6. Nice paint and foil and a Pontiac engine. Love it.
  7. Nice conversion. Ford did a show car along the same lines, called El Gato.
  8. That was literally a hundred years ago. Think how far racing has come. Awesome job.
  9. Now that's a big Buick. Two thumbs up.
  10. Wow. This is beautiful. I love the classic GT cars.
  11. One of my favorite cars and you did a great job on it.
  12. This is great. The deep red gives it a look of real class.
  13. Very nice. I like the conversion- I've been following your thread.
  14. Nice work. Rally cars are cool - screaming down country roads at extra- legal speeds.
  15. Too sweet. Great car-icature.
  16. Just finished this one. Its the MPC Olds W30, and this has a story to it. It started last year as the Hurst Olds. I had the chassis done and the body almost when the fire hit. Although it was downstairs on my bench, it got damaged. Afew months ago, a friend sold me a sealed W30 for eight bucks. I had the chassis done, so between other projects I did this. The body is a Plasti- Kote color called Cordovan Metallic. Its a bit transluscent, so I shot it over a silver base. I like the way it turned out (mostly). The body trim is a bit soft, so I had a bear of a time with the foil on the upper body moldings. mjll So I wound up with the Hurst exhaust (I like the Cherry Bombs). The wheels are from the Model King '71 Thunderbird and the tires are from the kit, only because I'm out of those nice AMT Eagles. This was an OK kit with a few gripes. The location of some pieces is best described as 'vague', and the shell interior falls flat on what is otherwise a relatively nice kit.
  17. Looking good so far, Siim. Keep us posted.
  18. Grand International? InterAm? Whatever it is, I think someone was exposed to too much laquer thinner. The profile shot of the left side- it looks like the front wheel and tire is bigger than the back.
  19. In the immortal words of Montgomery Burns; "Excellent".
  20. Really nice build. Is this the AMT or Monogram kit?

    Three thumbs up (I got too close to the nuclear plant).Really nice job.
  22. Keep up the good work. It'll be eleven years for me in October.
  23. That started as a Lightning. I used the suspension, engine, grille, bumpers tires and interior from a regular F150. The paint is Dupli- Color Autumn Maple over Plasti- Kote metallic brown. Right now I'm finishing a '69 Olds W-30 and a '69 Shelby Mustang.
  24. I ran this one in the 24 Hours of Lemans in GT4 a few years back, but mine was a black one I picked up in the used car lot.
  25. Several of the olderAMT kits from the '60's offered Cibie lamps as custom options. Off the top of my head, the "66 T-Bird has a pair.
