Hopefully someone is keeping his Flickr account paid up.

Thanks Rusty! Will save it for reference, in case I can't find one - Snake kindly sent one to copy but it's apparently been lost in the mail so now I'm looking for another .

Had fuzzy dice for my '62 Imperial for a little while, but mostly had a couple hawk feathers after that.

What Mark said, plus when I'm done with the glue I tap the bottom of the bottle on the table to help bring the glue down from the spout. Then I clean out the tip with a toothpick or a rolled-up bit of paper until the tip is empty, then cap it.

I expect to see a lot of mini-El Camino conversions coming! Wonder if our friends Down Under will use it as a master to create a conversion kit for Holden EH/EJ wagons?

They are now - my filter needed training.

...disregard this letter!

I get 'em too. Some of mine come from "PayPaI" - the last letter being a capital "I" instead of a lower-case "L". You can't see the difference unless you pass the cursor over it.

Looking good! The resin body appears to have been mastered from the old ITC 1940 Mercury; it has that same issue with the short front end - I'm planning to do pretty much what you did.

A snap kit, and yet look at those separate doors! Nice of Revell to make things a little easier for those of us who want to detail it out - or make camp site dioramas.

And I had a 411. "Gangster lean - you're doing it wrong."

Desirable kit, ridiculous box art: (image via Scalemates) "GET OFF THE TRACK YOU IDIOT!" "He ignored the black flag - try the checkered and maybe he'll think he won and leave!"

#6 - Custom wire wheel caps from SMP '61 Corvair. They came with clear red bullets instead of spinners.

#1 - Custom wheelcovers from original '61 Impala kit. #3 - AMT '62 Ford Galaxie 500. #4 - '70s AMT Ford full-size pickup. #5 - Maybe AMT '62 Pontiac Bonneville; maybe Jo-Han custom parts. Can you turn them over to see the backs?

Nice clean build from top to bottom! Wonder why AMT never offered a stock intake setup with the '60-'63 F-100s?

Welcome Marcos - major cool builds! Looking forward to seeing your next creations.

And now... The rest of the story. From the Pantagraph, Bloomington, IL, September 14, 1947: Clem Gibson became a pretty successful stock car racer in the Bloomington area in the 1950s; from what I could glean from the Newspapers site, he passed away sometime between 1990 and 2005.

Good one, Roger!

A real beaut, and a real boat! I had a '74 Coupe deVille in my younger days, and the Modelhaus kit captured the lines very well.

Real clean work! I see you're going with the custom taillghts.

Yes I have, but... in the case of these cars, the chassis aren't great but they're already on hand and were made to fit these bodies. Since I'm building two at once I'm choosing my battles. As I've done with other projects like my '65 Nova, '64 Caddy and '61 Comet, it's been a fun challenge to improve/dress up the kit chassis since those were pretty good to begin with. I do have '64 Plymouth, '65 Comet, '58 Edsel and '60 Ford chassis stashed for future projects, and the '59 DeSoto will get '57 Chrysler underpinnings since they're a great fit.

I, er - ugh. Hey John, how about those nice wire wheels from the '65 Riviera kit for your Bonneville?

Already did!

Well, shoot. Looking at the photo (rather than relying on what passes for my memory), the Trumpeter covers look like an amalgam of '60 spinners and '61 standards. The '60 spinners didn't have those teeth around the center, at least.
