I'm learning stuff everyday! Stuff I didn't pay attention to back in my youth.

I see it, now that you mention it. Not easily fixable, is it?

I notice the chassis plate is metal. Are the bumpers metal, as well?

According to this: The "Styling" kit is a '55 T'bird, issued in '55 as kit number 300. Listed as RARE. The following one doesn't actually have the word "Styline" on the box, but it does have all the Styline type stuff in it, and the above guide lists it as a "Styline" kit: \ According to the guide, the '57 wasn't issued until '62.

I saw a mention that the '59 Buick tooling was destroyed. I wonder which tooling that would be? There were 3-in-1 kits of the convertible and hardtop issued in 1959, hardtop Junior/Trophy/Craftsman kit issued in 1963, and hardtop "Boondock Bomber" kit issued in 1969. If all these kits were based on the same tooling, and it has been destroyed, then there will be no re-issue. What a shame! The '59 Buick IMHO is one of GM's best looking vehicles, ever. I don't think the '59 tooling was modified to issue the '60 Buick, as those were issued in 1960, and two issues of the '59 came after that. Maybe time for a new tool from one of the "other" guys?

Very cool! That blue looks good on the 'bird! Tiny bike looks fine to me! Nice job on both!!

Maybe I got it.....maybe.

Great looking Pontiacs! I really like the color on the Grand Prix! Just right! Sorta reminds me of the one I built over ten years ago:

Times two!! New (old) ones pop up all the time!!

Absolutely Fifties Fabulous!!! Top Shelf, all the way!!

Thanks, Casey....I didn't know the full scoop about that old car. LOL

Very nice work! I never wudda thought about a Pacer/Camaro kitbash! Well done! Looks great next tot the amazing Gremmy, too!

The car was actually a 1928 Porter.......... The show follows the exploits of attorney David Crabtree (played by Jerry Van Dyke), who, while shopping at a used car lot for a station wagon to serve as a second family car, instead purchases a dilapidated "1928 Porter" touring car. Crabtree hears the car call his name in a woman's voice. The car turns out to be the reincarnation of his deceased mother, Gladys (voiced by Ann Sothern). She talks (only to Crabtree) through the car's radio: the dial light flashes in synchronization with "Mother's" voice. The above was taken from Wikipedia..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Mother_the_Car

Kinda reminds me of this chap:

That, too!! HAHAHA

Very cool Mack! Great job on the weathering!

I can just imagine seeing one driving down the pike!! Great looking MOPAR ya have here!! I really like the color! And the engine bay is nice and tidy!

Great build! Looks like it sat behind the garage due to the fact that the heavy camper finally killed the transmission!! Well done, sir!!

All the way around!! Fantastic build!

This one might be a bit weird!!

1994 Ford PowerStroke Concept: Actually...not that weird!!

Bidder #2 might not have seen the auction until he got home from work, would be one guess. My question is, why did #1 cast the same bid, again? Was he not still winning the auction?

Are ya gonna use the same grille? It looks a little taller than the cowl area on the body. Also, if you go this route, you might want to shorten the header a bit, so it will appear as though the door can be opened. But, you prolly had already noticed that. I say, "GO FOR IT!!"

MPC 1-0824 1986, according to the listing.

I actually got this one right!!
