I picked up a sealed kit of this at a show for $45 a few months ago.

beautifully done.

you should package a kit for these..............hint, hint,.......

great looking replica of the real car, nice clean build.

that ship is incredible!!!!!!!!!

nice build, looks great, and great idea too.

this is really shaping up nice, great looking work so far!

that's looking great, ladders look terrific! cab looks great, you have a steady hand man.

JT, I knew you were going to love the color, lol Henry, I used the wood flooring on my last trailer and liked it, so this time I thought i'd try doing the walls as well, it worked out well I think.

building a matched set, lots of orange on this one. I have added wood to the trailer floor and walls [still in process on that] other than that, it's gonna be OOB for both truck and trailer. here are some wip pic's, still a lot to do, but getting there......

thanks guys Vince, send the 1:1 over, been turning wrenches for 25 years, I'm sure we could fix her up

thanks guys

sweet score! progress is looking good!

great looking build, great color and nice detail, fantastic job.

stunning job, absolutely beautiful car.

looks great from where i'm sitting, well done

great looking job so far, love the color!

I like it!

thanks guys, I'm getting better at this BMF and yes, I used quite a bit of it on this build, can only imagine how much I'll use when I get to the rest of the impala's in the stash [60-64] Scott, the interior is testors one coat lacquer #1844 Icy Blue, over gray primer, I would imagine it'd lighten up some over white primer as the cap on the can looks to be a lighter shade.

bought this kit forever ago, it was on a shelf in my cellar for who knows how long and was semi-chewed by a mouse. after my son found it and saw that part of it had been mouse food, I was going to use the body to practice painting on, well, don't ya know it, first paint job on it came out really good, so I decided to build it. I had placed a wanted ad in the wanted section here and Bowtienutz was good enough to send me the needed items to keep this a buildable kit [thanks again]. so, here is where I am at,

that is super cool, great looking build.

I find that after so many years away from building, when I see box art of a kit I built as a teen, I am drawn to that kit like a moth to flame, and must acquire it. or seeing one I remember as a kid, but couldn't have/afford, makes me want it [regardless of kit quality]. I hit model round up pretty regularly, and have a good wish list, it seems to go in stages, what I want 'now', what I want eventually, and what I would get when the time is right. oddly enough, most of what is on my list, are the kits I did as a youth, or what I couldn't afford as a youth. isn't a lot of 'new' kits that strike my fancy. seeing some box art takes me right back to a place in time, my mind recreates the smell/vision/feeling of when i built it the first time, hard to describe, but i know some of you have experienced the same thing.

dale, it never ends, you are hooked [i did the same novice, un-informed, I don't have a problem approach ] just roll with it................easier to buy than build, but the satisfaction of a good build eases the pain of over buying [over buying is a myth, there is never enough, but I had to put it out there to keep things in context, lol]

awesome build as usual JT! not nearly enough orange on it, but beautiful just the same now, where is the whole fleet picture we've all been waiting for?

that is COOL!!!!!! will be needing part numbers and directions for this
