WoW! Great job on the chassis! Looking forward to seeing the finished build.

Welcome to the hobby. Nice build.

Kewl.

Cool.

Good job.

Interesting!

Ambitious!! Can't wait to see it finished. Looks like you're off to a great start.

I'm still not sure ... why?!

Beautiful build, Rob!

"Two Faces?" Boy does that leave an opening big enough to drive a ... Chicago white house ... through. I'll leave it alone, but it sure is tempting.

I like Dr. Cranky. I don't like Dr. Cranky. Pass my two bipolar pills. It's either time for my meds or it's not. :lol:

I agree.

The McQueen ...

Tooooo funny! Great replica, too!

Sweet, Steve! I particularly like the fine detail of the opened hood slots ... very nice touch.

Steve, Smokey, Here's our 1:1 frequent driver ... we have the 'short roof' ... it's an unrestored original with 40k actual miles. We LOVE it! Awesome car. And, yes. I have a Perry's coupe resin kit. Gathering the Code 44 and Code 45 paints from Scalefinishes.com for the proper replica finish. Show yours!

Oh, my! That's really nice.

The R&R (Parsons) resin was advertised as a '64, but it is a generic 60's panel ... there were no meaningful differences in the bodies from 1960 through 1966 ... [The only visual differences year to year were hood configuration, grilles, and trim details.] The R&R casting does not come with grille or hood ~ you need those from your donor kit ~ so it works for any year '60 through '66. The biggest issue with the R&R casting is that the rear roof overhang (above the rear doors) is greatly exaggerated and inaccurate. It will take a lot of work to make it conform to the actual vehicle's contours and appear anything like the real thing. I have had an R&R casting for years and have never attempted to build it, primarily for this reason and secondarily because mine was so badly warped when I received it - just more work to correct the roof than I cared to tackle on a warped body. I'm guessing the R&R casting is a copy of the AAM (All American Models) casting, but I don't know that for certain. AAM has been out of production for years and years, and I've never had one to compare. But, it has been common for R&R to copy other resin casters. Hope this helps.

After that 12 hour wedding in the middle of the night? That's asking a lot! Hey, Crankster. Go ahead and tell me what it is. Just a quiet post between us friends! I promise I won't tell anybody else!
