    Insane! I'm watching.

    Very nice job. Looking at the Torino next to the Maverick takes me way back in time.

    1949!? Wow. Nice job on a true collectors item. Luxurious for its time but getting in and out of the back seats couldn't have been too pretty.

    What did you do to fix it? There's quite a bit of bondo under the paint and I'm not sure how it would hold up in the purple stuff.
  5. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    Awesome. Please tell us how you corrected the headlights.

    Cool. If you can, invest in some Microscale Micro Sol & Micro Set. Helps to get the decals to lay flat and they're not expensive at all. Like Bob said, keep building.

    Marvelous.

    Great job on the interior!

    Very nice and represents your 1:1 perfectly.
  10. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    Wow! That's a lot of bugs.

    You're probably right about mixing the formulas but I wonder why (but am glad) that it Thank you very much sir. Both great suggestions. I have a die cast '51 Caddy I would snatch the taillights from, it's the fins and getting them both correct, that would be the challenge for me.

    I love the color choices. Nicely done.
  13. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    Word!

    Got some color on it. Model Master light purple with Tamiya pearl clear and clear. Looks blue in the pictures though. Need to rub out the orange peel. For some reason the paint on the hood cracked. Anyone know what causes that?

    Nothing says high fashion like an old Trailblazer

    Lots of good info. One thing not really covered is wheels. Does it matter if the wheels roll or are glued in place? On the subject of weathering, it bugs me to see rusted hulks with new looking tires. I haven't built a beater yet but I think sanding off the tread and maybe a little heat to make the tires look deflated would look more realistic on a rust bucket.

    Beautiful!!!

    X2. The foil under paint technique can be tedious but the results are worth the time.

    I found these Olson Brothers resin fender skirts on ebay made specifically for the Foose Caddy. The casting is very clean and the fit is nearly perfect. These guys also make a bunch of cool parts for the Revell Bronco.

    I agree completely but I couldn't figure out the best way to scratch build the taillight fins. I do have another body and a die cast '51 Caddy that I'll use to sort it all out for another build. I think I'll use the kit interior on this one just to conserve time.

    Making progress on the hood. I tried to vacuum form a hood which didn't work out too well after several attempts. I cut one down and glued it over the kit hood to get the curve to match the windshield.

    The STS-V engine cover in place.
  23. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    Another awesome build Jim.
  24. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    That's pretty cool. Are you keeping the Eldorod scripts on the fenders?
  25. Perspect Scale Modelworks
    Thanks guys. I'm planning on keeping the three piece rear window and the two piece up front. The Caddy didn't go to a one piece windshield until 1950 and I want to keep this as close to a '48 as possible.
