  3. Very nice, looks great in red.
  4. Really, really well done, lot's of detail and very clean....... love the turbo's too. Nice.
  5. this should work............. I think. https://photos.app.goo.gl/kCJuUVGRWyDioV1t5
  6. Yes, I know, but for some reason here, it isn't working.
  7. And here I am, sitting in a Chevy Caprice?
  8. Lets try this link! https://photos.app.goo.gl/kCJuUVGRWyDioV1t5 google says this should work, not holding my breath though.
  9. This is making me NUTS! I will figure it out, one way or the other.
  10. So, I assume you can't see the pictures.... Is that the issue here? if so, they are on my google account, have I mentioned how much I do not like google? They are in a public album, so they should be visiable, but here is the link to the album. https://photos.google.com/album/AF1QipNGqW3u3wqIbcBA1axWphWieUUy3sOdJpj0ThAp I hope this helps, man I am quite frustrated with the fact that I have so many issues making my photos visible to all. Oh well. Maybe they just aren't meant to be seen by anyone except myself.
  11. Well, since I only have 11 vehicles under construction, why not go for an even dozen? This is a vehicle I designed and carved out of "sign foam" and then vacuumformed. It is intended to be a modern interpretation of the vehicles that roamed the streets back in the '30's. The Alburn speedster boat-tail being my main insperation. The Alburn was a speedster (roadster) and my design is a coupe, but if this works out okay, I will also do a speedster version when the coupe is complete. One design feature that I have always loved is the long hood and the short deck look, you know like the original Mustang had, that long hood, greenhouse, and then the short rear truck deck. I incorporated that look into my design. If you notice, on the Alburn, the rear deck, obviously, comes to a pont (boat-tail) and it also slopes downward. I wanted to incorporate that into my design too, but on a modern car with full fenders, that is a little difficult. And in combination with the boat-tail, I thought it might be different to add a bit of a Kam-back to the design..... kind of like the rear of the Cobra Daytona coupe, you know, just "cut-off" and trunkcated. I have added a few lines on the car so you have a good idea of where the windows and wheel wells will be. These are just a rough idea for now, and once I actully begin cutting, it may change a bit. The wheel wells will be opened up and given an exstended lip which is not on the car yet.The only thing I am uncertain of at this point is power plant for the car. I coud do a modern V8, but I am leaning toward an all electric set up with batteries and electric motors on all four wheels......... what do you think?
  12. Very nice, that is such a great kit to build. Interesting photos, "Black on Black" Looks great
  13. super clean, very nice build.
  14. Very nice, love the bright yellow on it.
  15. Looks great....... not an easy build, but worth the effort......... very well done........ I have the kit, yet to begin it, but the other Ebbro kits I have done confirm the difficulty in fitment. Love these black and gold Lotus's.
  16. Intereting headlights..... question, isn't P.R. a lefthand drive island? Diffeent and nicely done.
  17. Great paint on both and beautifully finished.
  18. Very nice replica. Great job. Love these old Hot Rods.
  19. Looks great.... nice job. Love that car.
  20. Beautiful build, highly detailed and perfectly finished..... never cared much for the front-end treatment on this version, I know why they did it, but still, it is too bland for me, but having said that, you did a great job on it.
  21. Super clean and well done. The color is understated and fits it perfectly. Nice.
  22. Nice build of a rare race car. cool.
  23. Great looking paint............. built that car many, many years ago, and yes, I still recall that the masking for the paint was tedious.
  24. Superb builds, they look to be flawless and complement each other perfectly. Nicely done.
  25. David, it is rather easy to explain. The roof is a vacuum-formed roof that I made using a "buck" I formed out of sign foam. I used a version of this roof on the '62 Buick Electra 225 And on the 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix And on the 1965 Riviera that isn't quite finished yetNow on the 1962 Pontiac CatalinaAnd now on my 1962 Chevy Impala.On the Electra 225, I was able to lay back the "A" pillar to accommodate the new lower roof..... same on the Grand Prix and the Riv because on these two cars the "A" pillars were straight upright , But on the Catalina and the Impala, the "A" pillars are curved and did not suit the new roof design, so I had to fabricate he pillars out of 3 pieces of plastic stock one flat, one larger half round and one smaller half round for the trim with a metal rod on the inside to get it the support necessary. Does that explain it better? I varied the side window shape and the rear window treatment to make it look like slightly different roofs.
