I like it- very tasteful and restrained. Great detailing on the hydraulics in the trunk.

Nice. Wanna race?

How did I miss this one? That is one fine looking B-body Mopar.

This looks period perfect- this is the kind of car you would have seen racing between the lights on Woodward Avenue. Your interior detailing is especially killer.

I really like the way this came together.I especially like the two toning and the interior.

Really sweet Poncho. That color combo is pure fifties. Nice.

Was never a fan of the beetle or the Microbus, but I always loved the Ghia. Yours is a real looker. BTW, is that a Rover I see in your avatar?

That is a really nice Chevy. I'd love to see that blue in real life. Love the interior- is that the stock dashboard?

After seeing several Talledegas here, I decided to do one of my own.This is the Revell Muscle release, which has some nice custom stripes. I didn't want to do it completely stock, as you're only limited to three colors, all with a black hood and cowl. About a hundred years ago, back in the mid- seventies, I had a red Torino GT fastback with black stripes and interior. I had some red kicking around (Dupli- Color GM Victory Red, the color of my 1:1 Grand Prix). I shot it over red primer and eschewed the clear coat. The only body mods were adding several panel lines (catwalk to fender, cowl to fender, fender to rocker and rocker to quarter panel). I made my own poseable steering and used the tires, wheel backs and brake decals from Revell's '50 Ford pickup and the custom wheels from the '72 Cutlass. I also made some exhaust pipes out of aluminum tubing. The underhood is stock except for a scratchbuilt distributor I made out of four sizes of telescoping aluminum tubing. The interior is box stock save for the flocking. This was a really enjoyable build, and I knocked it out in a little over a week.

Can you imagine that little critter with a 200 hp rotor motor from an RX7?

The MPC '80 Monte Carlo has a 305/ auto combination. Separate it from the block and you're good to go. Also, the AMT Camino SS has a small block- auto trans combo.

I'll paint any dog any color for only ninety-nine ninety-five.

I like the traditional style like this. Nice work.

There's something you don't see every day. I like the color combo.

Really nice job on your Chrysler. I love seeing these cars done up as mild customs.

Really pastel, really fifties.Nice.

Beautiful. You just didn't want to get behind one on the track. While those fans did an awesome job of epoxying the car to the road, they also had a bad habit of spitting out rocks, dirt, dead armadillos and anything else in its path right into the face of whoever was behind it. So, the SCCA banned it after a season.

I kinda cringe sometime when I see the word 'chopped' in the thread title, but this is sublime. So subtle. So good.

Nice job on the Chrysler. How was the building experience with this one?

All it needs now is a roof light and a meter. Real nice.

Absolutely stunning. That is some really well thought out bodywork- it avoids all the cliches of a typical custom- it has more of a coachbuilt feel to it.

Nice Chevy. I especially like the burning wood on the sides.

Nice concept and color choice. The brown F150 in my sig is Autumn Maple over metallic brown.

I'm guessing the dash would have been the color of the interior.
