63/64 Caddie hoods/glass

All scripts and trim are in good condition on both. The only thing I'd maybe, possibly, might do is shave the door handles on the mild custom. Still thinking about that. Thanks for the input Jeff. I'm a big fan of your work and can't wait to see your latest conversion. I had thought about converting one of the coupes into a Fleetwood Brougham. That would take some time, planning and focus which for me translates into another forever project. Thanks

Dark side PT Cruiser

The title alone told me not to look but I did anyway. When will I learn to listen to myself? -
Thanks Snake. I'm talking about the Coupe DeVille, not the Eldorado but you did give me an idea to check ebay. When I checked there were 7 Johan '67 DeVilles, 5 coupes and 2 convertibles. 1 convertible is an actual promo, the rest are all friction. No kits, built or unbuilt. I was in agreement with Espo until I did this unscientific research. The reason why I ask is because I have 1 of each, a 67 coupe friction in need of a little of love and a glue bombed kit in need of a whole lot of love. I'm considering cleaning up the friction model as showroom stock with details. For the kit I'm toying with the idea of a mild custom. Drop in an LS since it has an opening hood and engine bay, lowered stance with updated wheels and tires and a custom interior. Just don't want to devalue something that may be quite rare. Thanks

Very nice! It was at about that age I gave up on the hobby and discovered something a bit more challenging, girls.

Motor trend super models
Perspect Scale Modelworks replied to R. Thorne's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
"Muscle car folk art". Never knew that was a thing. At least it reduces your tool box down to glue and a knife. But as he said, "But it's better to build 'em raw than not to build at all." -
I tried the search feature and came up with 17,000 answers. I am looking for tips and advice on making the seats in an old Johan look more realistic. These are the front seats that are molded into the interior bucket. I separated the seats from the bucket but kind of stuck on what to do next. Any info is appreciated.

Definitely! I like how the reversed exhaust tips flow with the rear end.

Nice all around.

Question For The Pontiac Guys
Perspect Scale Modelworks replied to Plowboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you're building a custom and considering going through the process of swapping door panels, why not make your own custom panels? You're already using corvette seats so the panels could be a bit updated. May be a little more work but could be worth the effort. -
This is a friction model so a toy and not a promo. Oh snap! I should've came back to the site sooner. I soaked it in Purple Power earlier today. It was about 4 hours before I read your reply. No worry's though. There doesn't seem to be any damage. The body is still glossy but less metallic. I do realize that changing it in any way will reduce the value to collectors but I am still going to pull out as much detail as I can. As far as the turquoise. I found this color chart on the Imperial Club website. The turquoise it shows is much lighter than the color of the model. Could be the resolution of my screen or their print but I still prefer the Forest/Frost Green combo.
