Looking good, anxious to see it finished. Question- How did you create those wheels? Thanks, Mike

White first, otherwise it look pink if you go red first!

Get a 40% off coupon and head down to Hobby Lobby and get him another one to build! Tell him nice job and keep at it!

Looking forward to it Tom!

I'm in! I will be placing my pre-order as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing Art!

It is the Mobeius ford truck thread Lee.

It does match up to the wheelbase on the LRE chassis, will have to compare it to the kit stepside bed to see how it looks as well as a long bed that I have laying around.

Tommy, I am not a Buick expert so I don't know if that car was originally red from the factory, after 50 years it has probably been painted a couple of times. There should be a trim tag on the firewall and it would indicate what the correct factory color would be for this car. If the red paint in the trunk bothers you, you could always paint the splatter paint that many cars came with back in the day. You being from Norway might be a slight problem for some sellers. They might think you are a scam artist as there have been past issues with people from foreign countries buying cars via the internet with fraudulent bank accounts. Not accusing you of such activity, just a heads up. Your best bet would be to find someone here that you know and trust to act as your buyer to prevent such problems and to also look the vehicle over to ensure that what you see on the computer is what shows up in Norway! You could also plan a trip to the USA to coincide with some big shows to find your car. Carlyle, Pomona, Goodguys, there are several events that you can probably attend during the summer that would allow you to find a car and whatever parts you may need to complete the deal. I would imagine it would be cheaper to ship the parts inside the car than to send them separately across the big pond! Best of luck in your search. Be patient and the right car will come along for you!

Crude but effective Chuck! That would need some ballast in the back end if you wanted to move any snow, looks like the front axle is not driven and those street tread tires don't appear to be studded! I remember many a rusted out pickup or suv used in this manner back home and yours is a great replica of some of them!

Nice job Chuck, but there is too much sheetmetal left on those quarter panels!

I like them all but the red 68 Camaro is among my favorites, probably because its the most streetable one besides the crew cab.

Look in the truck section, Art has spilled the beans there.

That thing is impressive but I would hate to have to turn it around a tight corner! Definitely not for towing in an urban setting. Nice color choices and details.

Art, Did I read that correctly? We will have a choice in drivelines? Engines? Beds? Either Christmas is coming early or Santa used UPS and the packages are a little late! Either way, if we have choices in then it has been worth the wait!

Gabriel is correct, a decent Mustang, Cuda or Camaro is probably going to be at the top end of your budget and will still need some work to be a decent car. The good news is if you can find one of the three, there are tons of places that have parts for them so if you were to buy one, you would have an easier time fixing it up. As was mentioned, look in the southwest corner of the US for a car that has the least amount of rust. Maybe do a search of the web and see if there are some car clubs in those areas that can of help in locating what you are looking for.

P&P resin has some rear fenders, do a search and I am sure you will find them.

Very nicely weathered.

Why doesn't that surprise me Chuck? Happiest of Holidays to all!

Looks very nice and am glad you went bigger. When I saw the plans for a 20'x20' garage, I had flashbacks to my first house and how tight things were in that garage. Building a garage is on my list of things to do and I think I will go 30'x30 so I can have some workspace and rooms for tools. I'll be watching this as it progresses!

Great job and as always, nice details! I have seen many of these converted to coffee or cigarette drive thru shops.

Clean and simple! Love the paint.

Nice! Very nice! Clean and simple, just how I like them. One week to build huh? I couldn't pull that off in a year!

You covered a lot of ground this year, many nice builds there! Looks like just about every make was represented and quite well too. Wish I could complete 14 kits in a year.

Anybody on here buy one of these kits yet? I know of one person who has ( ) but was wondering if anyone else has and what their impressions were?

PM sent on some related information.
