  1. Looks sweet. I think you should BMF the grill and bumpers and tear sections off. Give it the pealing chrome look
  2. Very Cool. Love the Purple with the Flames
  3. Great save..... What's not to like, it's a Galaxie
  4. Hey now.......
  5. My "unbuildable" is the Revell 49 Merc. Not because it will not go together, but because I refuse to build it because the body looks like a die cast. I would spend less time chopping an AMT or MPC kit than fixing that POS. Great parts kit for my MPC snappers though
  6. Nice to see the plug wires installed correctly. Engine is looking great. Love the Y-Block in the truck... they have a sound all their own, kinda like a Harley
  7. What? No 3 window coupes? Great job as usual.
  8. in 1984 I was driving a 1948 Ford Super Deluxe Coupe. Flathead, black primer, dechromed, frenched headlights, whitewalls, 56 Olds Fiesta caps and blue dots. Only one in the HS parking lot.
  9. My daily drivers. 82 Thunderbird and 71 Custom with a 4 speed.
  10. There are so many great dashboards out there, but there is one that deserves an honorable mention. One of the best of the 70's in my opinion. Full instrumentation could be had in any intermediate Ford/Mercury from 72-79.
  11. They did address the bumper being too short. Looks like the added a score mark for the valance (although the shape is still incorrect) The front fender body line is crisper, but still looks to bulge out towards the lip. At the bottom, the rocker line is way to pronounced at the bottom of the fender. Rear quarter lower body line is longer but still looks to be merely a groove cut in the body. The upper rear quarter line is still too short and the quarter looks flat still. I will get one of these, and if the fixes are not too bad, maybe more than one. Personally, I'd rather be building than correcting. I will gladly take a nice, near correct body over a full detailed chassis any day. To some, good enough is enough, unfortunately, thats what we are given sometimes.
  12. it is, but "some" work was done from what the sedan was. Depends on the photo/lighting and angle to catch the changes or flaws. Does look better though. still needs rear 1/4 work.
  13. Yea, I'll be sure to get better ones...... these were last minute because of excitement to get to this point. Paint had to be stripped twice.
  14. The scoop screens are decals.... the body color shows where the wire would be. I need to try for a clear shot of them. Very nice.
  15. WIP..... 62 Comet Drag car. Added Thunderbolt scoop, removed molded exhaust, added headers. Remains a curbside. Better pics when finished. Thanks to Bob Boehem for the custom decals
  16. I'd say it does look better, still needs work, but a vast improvement. Bottom of the front fender needs some fill and the rear still needs a little. I see the bumper was lengthened too. Ohhhhhh.... do I still see a rear bumper guard sticking up? I'll get one.... or 4
  17. The Allison would go nice in the Lindberg Cord or Auburn......
  18. How did you replace the wipers? You going to scallop and flame the roof too?
  19. Charlie, get any pics of the one you saw?
  20. The Revellogram kit always looked to flat in the headlight area. Now seeing the pic of the actual car and kit pic together, I see that it is. Nice chopped version.
  21. That is a really nice build, and the brown actually fits it well. Looks great with the wood trim and saddle colored interior.
