  1. Nicely done, nicely done! Love seeing these Forward Look cars in scale!
  2. These '55-61 Forward Look cars are the coolest looking wheeled things ever made, in my opinion.. This is an awesome project you've started, and judging by yer others that you've done, it will be a real jewel one day.. Regarding the possibility of turning it into an Adventurer, it's doable.. Most of my stuff is FL MoPar related, and there isn't much to start with in the kit world, so I have to make emblems and such from scratch often.. For emblems, I use a sheet of 0.10 thick Evergreen styrene, draw the emblem to scale, and cut it out with a blade.. Doing this absolutely DOES suck! It takes a while to do, is a real pain, isn't forgiving of any mistakes, and has been the source of many newly invented curse words.. BUT, is worth the trouble in the end.. And, I don't know any other way to get correct emblems for my little cars.. Here's a pic of one I just whittled out for my '58 Chrysler Saratoga project : Anyway, just throwing that out there.. Coolest WIP thread this year, I'll be following along for sure!
  3. Well, there it is.. The coolest thing in the World this week! I'll buy one..
  4. .......I'm good...... I'll be buying that Black Beauty though..
  5. Dam, that's the best build on one of these Cadillacs I've ever seen, nice job!
  6. Figured I'd post a few '70 Super Bee photos since THIS is happening : I reckon that like me, a bunch of yous already has at least a couple copies of this kit, but with the addition of the new decals, a bunch of yous, like me, are gonna be buying a couple more! Some info regarding Super Bee option codes.. The C-Stripe was standard equipment when you bought a Bee, V6W = White, V6X = Black, V6R = Red, V6B = Blue, and V6G = Green.. The Bumble Bee stripe was a no cost option on a Bee, V8W = White, V8X = Black, V8R = Red, V8B = Blue, and V8G = Green.. Stripe Delete option on a Bee was V88..and while it had no stripes, it did still have the Bee roundel.. Anyway, now we can build a model of a '70 Bee with extremely rare factory stripe colors, which is cool af, thanks to Round2! Here's some pics I seen on the internet : V6R Red C-Stripe on a TX9 Tuxedo Black Super Bee.. V6G Green C-Stripe on a FF4 Light Green Super Bee.. V6B Blue C-Stripe on a EB5 Bright Blue Super Bee.. V88 Stripe Delete FY1 Bright Yellow Super Bee.. Does anyone have any more pics?
  7. I love that car.. That black paint job looks to be about a mile deep, it's awesome!
  8. Excellent project you've got going here.. I've always dug this car too.. Then I remembered, hey, I've got some pics of it in my files that cannot possibly aid in this build thread! Better post em anyway! Probably my favorite photo of this car, and it is too cool that they used a '57 Plymouth Fury to haul this thing around with on a tow bar, AND used it for push-starts, etc. I'd love to have a resin kit of this car someday..
  9. NO WAY dude! I've got some similar reference material showing the different paint and graphics options available thru the Chrysler Corporate Service Vehicle program.. Never seen any Edsel dealer service truck stuff anywhere before.. Excellent find!
  10. Thanks for the correction, as I really wasn't too sure on the years.. I seen both the '59 and '60 model year being attributed to one of those trucks in the SAME paragraph! Lol..the internet.. I was only sure of one thing, and that is that they sure were cool lookin!
  11. Yeah, I'll be grabbing up a couple of these kits for sure.. 1957 F-350 wrecker 1959 F-100 And as cool as these Fords are, I really dig the Mercury M-Series versions.. I can't be the only one who's going to build one of these kits as a Mercury.. 1957 M-100 1957 M-350 1959 M-100 1959 M-100
  12. I'd buy every single one of them if they were released again! Exner cars are the best cars..
  13. Yo, THANKS for the links and info yall! Those Diolex hubcaps will work for my purposes.. They got some other pretty neat stuff listed too by the look of it..
  14. Yo, what's up.. I'm doing a commission build, that I'll ultimately start an individual thread on because it is pretty cool, but I've found myself in need of either these exact style of wire wheelcovers, or something that is pretty dang close : They are 1986-92 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham rear wheel drive wheelcovers.. SO, is there anyone that casts these in resin? Or more likely, can 3D print them? I've done a bit of searching and haven't come up with too much..
  15. I found out that the ones from the AMT '58 Edsel version that had continental kit & skirts worked out pretty well on my AMT '57 Fairlane 500 project with some minor adjustments..
  16. I mean, THIS one.. It will likely be the ONLY sixties Pace Car in my Indy Pace Car collection that I will never be able to get.. Short of Round2 doing their resurrection magick and re-issuing it someday..
  17. This. The Captain America lookin '70 AMC Rebel Machine is maybe the coolest car that AMC produced during the Muscle Car era. Been lookin for one of the Jo-Hans that is priced using Earth-based currency for years.
