Thanks, guys! Apparently Gomez coun't figure out how to get it into gear, fortunately he had a helper there! Absolutely! I hadn't really thought about them much before starting this project, but as I was researching the design they really do look good on the 1:1 cars.

Excellent work, that looks great!

Looks good, very slick design!

Great job on this!

Very cool!

For this year's Halloween-themed build, I went with the Packard from The Addams Family TV series. It started as Monogram's Packard Phaeton, and while a couple of details aren't quite right - I found out too late that the TV car had a longer wheelbase and a black interior - it was a good kit and enjoyable build. The wheels and hood ornament are 3D printed items I drew up, Thing's box was scratch built from balsa and craft sticks, and the horn is a modified Hallmark ornament. A full write-up of the build is available here, and as always comments/criticisms are welcome! With the other famous Spooky Family car of the era:

Thanks, guys!

Well done, the conversion looks totally at home here!

Fantastic work on this! One of my "someday" projects is to make this same conversion but with the later Sunbird.

Awesome job on this!

Beautiful car!

Thanks!

I use a combination of Tacky Glue and Testors Window Maker. A few spots of Tacky glue to hold the glass in place, then a thin bead of Window Maker between the spots to really secure it and hide any slight gaps I may have missed when fitting it.

Awesome trio!

Very tidy little car, nice work!

Excellent work on this!

Excellent! I have the set of these to get to some day, it's nice to see one finished.

Nice clean work, that looks great!

Beautiful work as always, that looks fantastic!

Thanks, guys! Nice! That's on my "to do" list one of these days.

Thanks, guys!

Thanks, guys! I think it was Frankie Avalon in Fireball 500, but defnitely part of the beach party/racing film series from that era. I know Elvis Also had aan Elva Mk.6 in Viva Las Vegas, I've been trying to hunt down something to at least start with for that one!

Excellent work, I alwys liked the look of these!

I found myself with a spare Revell '67 Charger body, so I used Lindberg's Richard Petty Belvedere to turn it into the car driven by Elvis for the movie Speedway. Most of it worked better than I would have expected: the rear axle needed to be moved forward about 2mm, and the front edge had to be squared off to fit the front bumper, but otherwise the chassis fit perfectly. Inside, both front and rear dashes needed to be extended to fit the Charger's bigger greenhouse, but again everything else just kind of fell into place. Even the Belvedere engine bay fit the Charger body with little drama. Decals, wheels, and tires are all from PPP, and the decals included the screen-accurate "Steve Grayson" scripts for the doors. The worst part of the build was probably the Carpet Monster eating the rear deck badge, but I'm calling it "done" regardless and will just add that if I find the one I lost or get a replacement some day. Anyway, a full writeup of the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Looks great, nicely done!
