"Last night I watched the news from Washington, the capital, the Russians escaped while we weren't watching them, as Russians will." Steve

Ready for some color. Steve

That's what I hear. I have good glass for these, & even if not, I understood we had a year or so before that happens. Steve

I would think you could use whatever adhesive you're comfortable with. Some guys will use paint as an adhesive as well. Steve

I may use some of the parts from the Trumpeter kit if there's anything usable for a '59. But I will be building this as a curbside so swapping will be minimal. Although I may be able to use a few parts when I build the '60. Lord knows I'll never build the Trumpeter kit! Steve

That I did know. Just neglected to mention it. Barracuda is one of my favorite songs of all time! Steve

Got it!! Dream Boat Annie!! & I didn't have to take a nap! Steve

When I close my eyes, it always ends in a nap! Steve

Mine must be too easy Harry. That & my memory is BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! The lyrics you're posting look familiar, but I can never remember where they're from! Steve

"Neon lights, a Nobel prize, then a mirror speaks, the reflection lies, You don't have to follow me, only you can set me free." Steve

"Saturday night I was downtown, working for the FBI. Sittin' in a nest of bad men, whiskey bottles piling high." Steve

"And the man in the back is ready to crack as he raises his hands to the sky, And the girl in the corner is everyone's woman she could kill you with a wink of her eye." Steve

Sorry Harry, I'm not a "progressive rock" kind of guy! Steve

I've always loved the roof line on the '59 & '60 GM cars. One of the reasons I build so many hard tops. I still have a '60 to do as well. Steve

I don't normally get too excited about these sort of customs, but this looks exactly like the type of thing I would like to do if I ever did one. Maybe just a "tad" low for me, but I love it! Steve

Well, as can sometimes happen, I've begun to lose interest in a '62 Chrysler 300 build the more I researched this '59 Bonneville. So this one may be "leap frogging" ahead. Although I will still try to keep the 300 moving along also. I think the body prep is all done & ready for priming. I'll start doing that this evening. I also swiped a set of wheels from an old Plymouth kit as the originals were a little chewed up from over gluing, as is pretty common. A new set of Modelhaus "Satco" tires await as well. Steve

That was my experience also. Any light colored color coat will yellow. Sometimes very quickly. Steve

"You know I've smoked a lot of grass, Oh Lord, I've popped a lot of pills." Steve Three different ones! Steve

This one may be a little obscure! Steve "You're hot stuff with a hat pin, & good fun with a handgun. You're nearly a laugh, You're nearly a laugh but you're really a cry"

"Harry Doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene. He's got a daytime job, he's doin' alright. Steve

I think it was called "Judy Blue Eyes". Crosby, Stills & Nash. Or was Young still around? Steve

"Sound of Silence". Simon & Garfunkel. Steve

"Get Ready". Temptations? "Drive My Car". Beatles. Steve

"Ride Captain Ride". Don't remember the band. Steve

It's a paint "cross reference" site so make sure you don't get hung up on names. While the correct 1959 Buick color may be "Lido Lavender", it's listed on the MCW site as "Royal Amethyst", the Pontiac variant. Same exact color. Steve
