  1. I have been painting all summer. Here is my list for the winter 57 Ford Custom 62 Catalina Superduty 60 Falcon Ranchero 68 Roadrunner 69 Cougar 69 Copo Nova
  2. Very nice, there was a 1:1 NART Spyder on Chasing Classic Cars on Velocity a year or so ago. It went to auction, I believe it sold for over 2 million..
  3. Very nice! like the mild customs
  4. I like it with or without foil. Looks good with the black outline.
  5. The chrome work looks good for a sharpie, Mine would be very shakey!!!
  6. What type of polish did you use on this? Came out looking good (compared to the original picture) Nice job!!
  7. I am sure if most of you are like me, you have more than enough kits to build to last the rest of your life. I have not bought any kits lately, only modeling supplies (paint/foil etc) Personally I am tired of the reissues, and am focusing on the kits in my stash and I have found kits I forgot I had. I am looking forward to the Mobius models coming out such as the Satellite and the Comet- I may have to buy these two. But I agree, as long as the reissue kits are being bought, they will contine to make them.
  8. Very nice. The black paint looks flawless. Black and red, my favorite colors.
  9. I also got my1:18 59 Dodge today. Beautiful.....
  10. I still have my two jobs, my Wife and I are mostly healthy. Both kids have good jobs and are happy. I had a vacation day today, even if we did go shopping, I got to go to a car show. Not a bad day!
  11. Nice, great engine detail. Not sure if you are familiar with Bare Metal Foil or not,it makes the trim stand out. Paint is nice.
  12. Absolutely stunning! Nice restoration
  13. Looks great! I am currently working on a 60 Ranchero.
  14. Looks good to me. Is that a resin 60 Mercury?
  15. I definitely want the Hudson, Pontiac and Comet. Better save my money!
  16. I have over 150 1:18 diecast all on display in the basement along with the promos and cars I have built.
  17. Let me know how you get the front clip to line up with the cowl. I built the same kit and I could not get them to line up, I display the model with the front flipped. I built mine in red oxide primer with rims painted red with wide white walls and small 47-48 Ford hubcaps. I also did the bed to look like wood. also shaved the door handles and use 59 Caddy taillights and a different grill with canted headlamps.
  18. I have two jobs, one full time and one part time. My full time job I am an Auditor for a third party payment agency, processing and paying freight bills for major corporations. My job involves database maintenance, customer service, and updating computer applications as well as assistant dept manager. This is usually 40+ hours per week. My part time job I am a Credit Investigator for a large tire company, I investigate and process new credit applications as well as evaluate existing customers for credit line increases. I work appx. 60-70 hrs per week, which leaves little time for modeling or anything else. I enjoy modeling, collecting 1:18 diecast cars, and I have a Lionel train layout and enjoy watching real trains.
  19. Great Work! I remember the gas lines of the early 70's, the price of 57.9 really was a looooong time ago. Was the Clark station scratch built? Very nice work, by the way I graduated high school in 72, had my first car a 72 Gremlin, I saw the billboard ad for a Gremlin in one of the scenes.
  20. I am sure I am probably the only vote for the 59 Olds, but I really like it over the Vette. To each their own, I like the 50's luxury barges.
  21. I forgot to mention my promo collection. I collect from the early 60's to mid 70's. Have not bought many lately due the prices.
  22. Let's see: Lionel Trains ( I have a small layout) 1:18 scale cars ( have appx 120) Auto emblems old hubcaps a few old DAV license plates (from Ohio and Virginia from 1960's) any kind of gas station mdse, old oil cans, signs etc. the ceiling in my basement is covered with old auto ads from 50's and 60's
  23. Very nice work!! Love black cars... The paint is so nice, it almost looks like a diecast...
