    Thank you Tim and David! Here's a few more shots... Not sure how I missed putting a winch on the trailer but I did lol.

    Here's a Century Coronado I did a couple of years back. The trailer is scratch built.

    Check your hardware store. I think rustoleum makes it. BTW useless trivia: Forest Service Green was copied from 1957 Mercury Lexington Green.

    Hi Dwayne, did you ever find a way to do the wheel cover for the Pontiac enforcer? Joseph at Fireball Modelworks has just finished a beautifully done wheel for a project I'm working on.

    You are correct about the rear pillars David, sharp eye. the left side is 1mm taller than the right. Thanks for pointing that out as I missed it.
  6. Paul Hettick
    And thank you Bill!!!

    Hi David I meant the taillights on the squire. I see what you mean about the rear roof pillars on the Nomad. I will double check with calipers. If they are off, that will be fixed before production. Bob, I do intend to sell kits someday but at this time I am unable to. They will be available, and I wish I could provide a date but can't yet. BTW I'm currently finishing up a 64 Country Sedan wagon master and a 59 Cadillac Sedan de Ville flattop.

    Thank you! I'm not 100% pleased with the tail lights so those will be massaged a bit more. Here's a completed '59 Nomad.

    Thank you very much! Here's some photos of completed Squires.

    It was him. And he is quite vocal about being able to steal other peoples work. From what I have seen, his stuff is nasty.
  11. Paul Hettick
    I'm not sure. Also got a reply that none had been produced yet so who knows. Hopefully they will a quality product. He has some other 68 69 Satellite parts too.

    Wow, a trip down memory lane for me, I grew up in Downey. Also Earls hobby shop on Bellflower Blvd, and Robbies Hobbies hold some fond memories. Robbies had lots of display cases with built models in them. around 1970, Earls put out a bunch of 1961- 1962 AMT annuals that were hiding in the back room. Paid 1.49 each! There were hobby shops everywhere! My Grandma worked at Robinson's in downtown L.A., a high end department store, and even they had models in their toy dept.

    After Leave it to Beaver was cancelled, Barbara Billingsley opened a hobby shop..

    The red 63 is the only one with correct hubcaps. Modelhaus used to have them
  17. Paul Hettick
    been looking for those for years.... Michael Kroger said he would make them if someone sent him a hubcap. I may have one at the shop.
  18. Paul Hettick
    I don't remember if they were missing, but we were going to use a different tire as the ones supplied by Revell back in 62 were pretty bad. Possibly the MPC Goodyear used in the mid sixties.

    Wow that's great! Please cast 'em up! Love to do Kramer's car from Seinfeld. I got your PM. Will respond later today.
  20. Paul Hettick
    Thank you very much!
  21. Paul Hettick
    Thanks very much everyone. Yes 66 was the first year of the dual action tailgate. Pretty nice piece of engineering! I plan on having a website with direct ordering. Am going to try to keep kits in stock so there is no long wait for shipment, that may or may not be practical, just have to see how things work out.
  22. Paul Hettick
    Yeah if they get the body correct I'll be a buyer
  23. Paul Hettick
    No others Casey. Sure would be fun to know what all is out there.
  24. Paul Hettick
    Here's the first casting. An artist is currently doing the wood grain decals. they will be peel and stick. Still no release date or price point as of yet. Working on getting protection for my work and that will add to the cost of the kit.

    Ten or Twelve years ago I was provided with a test shot Revell 62 Fury To be a box art car. What came out of the mold looked good. Got it painted and the chrome work done then the project was dropped. I can't remember what the reason was. The Revell 62 Newport conv. was also supposed to be there and there was talk on reissuing that but it did not happen either. The 62 Dodge Dart 4 dr became a drag car, who knows where the Valiant, Imperial, and the Valiant based Dodge are hiding.
