Looks pretty good so far,what color did you use for the body?,or is that just primer?

That is stunning!.

I've seen that as well,and in other pictures,i've seen the 84 had a different steering wheel.

What a beauty!do remember the color you used?it really compliments the lines of the car.

I like it,i got one yesterday and was thinking the same thing,what brand of silver did you use?.

That is beautiful!,i'm glad to see you're not afraid to build these old gems and your pics look fine on my monitor as well.

Flawless looking build!the color and engine detailling really stand out.

I'm guessing those bidders don't have a hobbyshop nearby,can't understand that at all!

Those are even better pictures,thanks again for sharing although it looks like someone has been playing sideview mirror baseball with the passenger mirror.

Nice work on the engine swap!,i could be wrong but I thought that the Lindberg Little Red Wagon came with a 273.

Thanks for sharing those pics Brett,i'm going to be ordering a couple from my local hobby shop soon.

Excellent choice in color!,it really stands out.

Nice work,i really like the exterior color.

Thanks for the advice,btw i love the work you did on that interior.

Thanks,i find the convertibles of these vintage kits are the worst,busted and missing windshields seems most common,god knows I have enough of them in my stash!

Thanks for the comment I did use semi gloss on the seats and console,they looked way to shiny and bright in person.The camera doesn't really show it to well,i need to work on taking pics a little better.

The body is in primer,i decided to add a vinyl roof,i think I've got the molding correct based on pictures I found on the internet but it still needs a little work, I plan to paint the roof first then color coats on the body.thanks for looking in

The interior is pretty much done as well,i painted it flat red with a couple coats of semi-gloss clear,the Bmf was hard to apply,even though I scribed all the lines before hand the paint seem to cover them over,took a lot of patience to cut the foil towards the rear of the tub, my exacto knife would hit the opposite side of the tub.

The engine is now finished I only added spark plug wires,it's not one of my strengths:

Here are a few pictures of the seats and console painted,i used,Tamiya bright red,i used BMF to duplicate the chrome on the shifter,i think it took about 5 tries to get it to look half decent,i then just put a couple coats of semi gloss over the BMF to hold it in place.

Hello everyone,progress has been a little slow with work,weather and the dreaded yardwork,but i'm plugging away,the seats and console are molded as one piece which is unlikely in the first place,so I used my razor saw to separate them:

I think with the modelhaus closing people are afraid they won't be able to get parts to restore their old built up's and many people not wanting to buy new kits just for a specific part is why we see these insane prices.I've bid on old built up kit parts that I want only to be outbid in some cases minutes later and to see some of the final sale prices shocks me,i think this is a trend to stay on ebay.People are either going to have to learn to cast their own parts or put ads in the wanted or trade section and hope someone will come through for them,or scratchbuild what they need.

Wow,that interior really shines!!,the 68 Galaxie i'm working on has a tub interior and some parts are near impossible to detail properly.

Looks pretty slick!,I've got a couple in my stash that I just can't seem to get to!,i believe Fujimi also made a curbside convertible as well.

Some interesting releases,wasn't a Yenko nova already done?or are they doing a 70'Yenko for this release?
