  1. Got it sitting the way I want it and added upper control arms.
  2. Looking good.
  3. I have one that I am going to build as a retired ambulance turned into a handymans work vehicle.
  4. Another thrift store rescue,I had the engine that is from the 53 Chevy hardtop kit. Front axle was broken so it's getting a Camaro front suspension.
  5. It's finished
  6. Other then a Scout and big trucks were any pickups made,a guy at work has a 67 half ton and was wondering if a model of that era was ever made.
  7. It got paint today.
  8. I was hoping to find a stock roof but it's painted so no turning back now.
  9. Thanks for the info,the opening hood had me confused and will come apart when I find a matching green paint. I recently picked up a 61 Galaxie to put in the 61 box I had that claimed the model had a engine but the one I received did not have a opening hood so that one must be a promo.
  10. Engine looks to be molded in but will find out when I take it apart.
  11. After I got the 63 done I remembered I had another and it turns out to be a 62 so it's on the table waiting to be worked on after I finished a couple others. It has some replacement parts from Modelhaus so it's been waiting awhile.

  12. It was missing the original wheels so I found some chrome rims in that bunch of 60s parts I picked up last year to go on it.
  13. After finishing the restoration of the 63 I remembered I had another but this one is a 62,this one has thicker axles and has a six under the hood but no emblems on the fenders. What is strange about the 63 is it has six emblems but has a V8 and has a Y pipe made into the chassis.
  14. I found a color close to GMs fawn beige that I really wanted but it was 20 dollars a can so this is what I got.
  15. The color is Tamiya champagne gold.
  16. I picked up a built early 60s version that has a chopped top so was there a stock height roof for it. I know the 5 window has one but never seen any 3 window kits.
  17. The restoration is done.
  18. Color is Tamiya metallic orange.
  19. It got paint today and will be a quick build,I wish it was 1/25 as it's kind of big and will look odd sitting next toy other builds
  20. Was going for a mid 60s look.
  21. They keep finding me and what have is a 60s body on the 70s chassis,going to see if I can put the Y block from the 56 T bird kit and not sure if I am.going to get rid of the 70s wheels. It's only missing the bumpers which I should.have and all bumper brackets are still attached.

  22. I was wanting to paint it maroon but maybe the next one.
  23. I am working on a original 63 convertible that was built as a gasser so I am wanting to put it back closer to original. Did it come with the usual for that era SS hub caps or the more plane versions,did it also come with a up top or just the boot and I noticed it has six cylinder emblems but in the chassis it has a Y pipe for a V8. The engine that is in it looks original as it has a hole through the block and the exhaust pipes from the engine match up to the Y pipe on the chassis.
