Good looking T-Bird. I originally thought Ford blew it with the T-Bird after the design change in '58, but many of those new designs have grown on me, especially the later ones beginning with '83. Really like your rendition of this one.

I must admit I am addicted to Little Debbie's oatmeal cookies. The cream filling is the best and those cookies are just the right texture and moistness. Our local Dollar General has them 2 for $1, back when I was working (before the quarantine) I would stop by there almost everyday and splurge a $1. Recently the oatmeal cookies were in short supply so I would buy the Little Debbie's chocolate fudge coated coconut bars, again 2 for $1.

Very nice looking engine. Where did those headers come from?

I have been out of work going on my second week. I drive a school bus and had sort of thought about retiring at the end of this school year; each year the kids get more obstinate and unruly than the year before. Anyway, this government-imposed layoff has got me to rethinking that. I love my wife, but I really miss those few hours out of the house with other people. We are not in lockdown yet, but our governor seems to like to be a follower. He has already shutdown all eating establishments (drive-through only), yesterday he shutdown beauty parlors, barber shops, and tattoo parlors. Guess I will have to grow a "man-bun" until this is over. Got plenty of kits to keep me busy, but just can't seem to get motivated. My bench is in the basement and it has not warmed up enough yet to build without wearing a jacket. Am I getting "cabin fever"? Yeah, just a bit, but as soon as the weather breaks a bit I will be able to get into my garden, mow the lawn, and do other outside chores.

Have been lurking in the background watching this build come together. You have done an excellent job with your attention to detail and overall abilities to notice the small stuff. Really looking forward to more updates and the finished product.

News reporters that cover only one side of a story. I know there must be thousands of people who have contracted this "virus" who have survived it, gotten well, and are living normal lives. Yet all the news reports are the number of new cases, the closing of another industry, or forcing people to stay inside their homes. Get real folks.

Going to be a very timely build. Looking forward to updates. As a side note, earlier this week the NCHP pulled over a stolen rig and found it was loaded with TP; I guess someone was planning on subsidizing their retirement.

Looking forward to your build of this scene. Love those old B&W photos, especially the night shots; one of my favorite forms of photography.

Also builds into a nice short track racer.

A man after my own heart on several counts. First is my love for first gen Chevelles (especially the '65), second my love for Super Stock/Stock drag racing, and third is long roof racers. This one is a real beauty and so reminiscent of those glory days of drag-racing. The white paint job just adds to the overall realism of this build. Love it.

Some really interesting saves and parts box builds. This Chevy was part of a glue-bomb CBP from another forum. A few days in the purple pond removed all paint except the silver on the chassis. Used an wheels/tires and engine from parts box, scratch built cage and other interior pieces. This Willys modified is all parts box. Body is leftover from a failed custom, engine is 6 cylinder from Revellogram '53 Chevrolet, chassis is Revell 41 Chevy pickup, wheels and tires are resin and parts box.

Seem to be having a problem seeing the pictures, all I get are gray circles with white lines through them. I can see one picture of the '62 Firestar and one of the '57 coupe. I think I am missing out on some really neat customs.

Just completed a great trade with Brandon (br67). Excellent shipping and communication. Thank you.

Looking forward to your build. I have a few pickups I need to get on the bench.

Beautiful Chevelle. Really enjoy looking at all the detail you put into it, even the shopping cart chip in the rear fender. That year is my holy grail car. I owned a 283 4V 4 speed one of these and loved it. Enjoyed some adult beverages one evening and cleaned out a ditch and three fence posts with it. Put it in a shed at my parents house with plans on rebuilding it someday. Came home on leave from the USAF one day and found out my father had sold it.

I think it is probably beyond saving, therefore just throw it in a box and send it to me. I will dispose of it properly. Looks like a worthy project. I think you have been given good advice about removing the pegs. As far as the glass, the windshield and rear glass do not appear to be very complicated and should be easily replaced with clear acetate, like the stuff used in blister packaging. Good luck with this project.

DON'T PANIC!!! I think it is too late for that. It seems the media and those feeding information to the media have already started a panic. When all form of societal life closes down, then we are in a real panic. Ace already mentioned the deaths from obesity. Every morning when I get into my car to go to work or come home from work I expect I will do just that, yet traffic fatalities reach the thousands every year. What has happened to our faith in our fellow man or in GOD (however you want to describe Him) so that everything will be alright. This virus will be figured out as soon as enough money has been thrown at research and pharmaceutical industry. What will eventually come out of this is that we will realize how easily we can be duped into a raging panic. Soapbox out.

Very good looking Land Rover. Have never build one, but have always been intrigued by their design. Now if it were covered in about an inch of Sahara dust it would be perfect, just kidding, although that is the way most of them are pictured in magazines and such.

Wonder where he came up with that particular price. There are pictures of several others below that have the same price. Maybe I will win the lottery, buy them all, and put firecrackers in them.

Saw a Corona beer commercial last night, the audacity of some advertisers. (sarcasm) I was going to break open a new kit to begin working on since school has been cancelled and I will be out of work for two weeks;. But since it was manufactured in China, how do I know it is not infected and I will contract COVID-19? After all I have had it for only three years. I am scared, really scared.

Very nice looking bike, those came out a few years past my bicycle riding time. What scale is this? Is that a "racing slick" on the rear?

That is one great thing about the Gasser and Altereds classes; as far as body style, anything could be used.

I think it is probably too late to keep politics out of the discussion. Too much of the media is trying everything possible to tie this to the supposed unconcern of one political party. That problem is only going to get worse and the discussion more silly.

Most of these pictures are from the NASCAR West division. Very few, if any, full-size coupe/sedans ran in what was then the Grand National series. As far as Galaxies, I would think someone may have built one. I have plans on using my '65 Pontiac to build one of these West Coast variants.

Definitely one different build. Looks a bit scary to drive, that is a whole lot of weight on some mighty small wheels and tires. Still one mighty fine looking Gasser and I really like that fuelie Corvair.
