Thanks guys! Thanks Ray. Sinister was exactly what I had in mind when I built it.

Finished this one this morning. This is the first kit I've actually finished in about 15 years. I started it about ten years ago and then it went on the shelf until recently when I got back into the hobby. Started life as a Revell "Street Fighter Two" kit. This was sort of a test-bed for some different techniques I wanted to try out. Mods include opening the hood (originally it's a flip-front end), lowering the front and rear suspension, shaving the roof ribs, and filling in the sun-roof and hood vents. As a side note, this is also the first time I've tried my hand at any sort of real photography. Pics came out so-so I guess. Better than I usually do. I'm always interested in improving my abilities, so any constructive critisism (about the car or the pics) is more than welcome. Enjoy!

Nice work. I love those old war birds.

Nice shaggin' wagon! Pretty cool paint job.

Looks great! How did it go together for you?

Nice job! I always liked that body style.

I LOVE it if they'd do one of these again. '74, '75, '76. Any (or all) of those years would be just fine with me.

Nice! I've got a few pieces of Boogie gear too. Great stuff.

Must have been before my time. Oh well...

Oh he's a handsome devil! Nice job!

Very cool color!

Picked one of these up today. 40% off at Micheals! Never built one before, so I was suprised to see parts to build it stock. Cool.

Nice! Cool use of the louvers.

Nice job. Always loved that kit. I've got one of those in that same box. My dad & I built it when I was just a kid. Dad painted the body and I did a typical little-kid-glue-bomb job on the rest. The paint job he did is pretty cool. I plan to restore what he did and completely redo what I did some day.

Have you guys seen these? Pretty cool concept. Imagine stuffing one of these into a '32 Ford or some other street rod. http://thekneeslider.com/duke-engines-5-cylinder-4-stroke-3-injector-valveless-axial-engine/

That's hilarious!

Very cool project and very nicely done.

Those are so sweet! How cool would it be to build a scale version of one of those... I'd be all over it.

I know the feeling. Never lost a part before and just last week I was cleaning an exhaust manifold at the kitchen sink when it slipped from my fingers and down the drain it went. Just seconds before that I was thinking "I should probably put the strainer in just in case I drop something".

Beatiful job! That green vinyl roof is awesome!

Wow, that's just rediculously cool... Excellent build.

Nice! Love that car. I've got the Testors version of the same car on my bench right now. Just need to do the suspension and assemble the whole thing and it'll be under glass.

Just wondered. I've seen some musical references in names, signatures, & avatars while looking around on here. I've played guitar for about 25 years. Not in any bands anymore & probably won't be again, but I'm still jammin' with friends from time to time. Anybody else play anything?

Mike & Bill, those are some outstanding looking paint jobs.

Thanks guys. Got a few factory stock projects with colors I'll probably have to step up to the plate and spend some money. Probably try out MCW. Also thinging about giving the nail polish a shot. Bet they have some killer colors for hot rods.
