These are coming along nicely! That silver looks sharp, and the Grand Prix just disappeared off the law's radar with that paint job - awesome!

Nice clean work on this.

Awesome job on this, it turned out great! Misha, nice progress on the Camaro!

Nicely done, they both look great! Funny that you went with a totally non-stock "comic" color, I did the exact same thing for my own Dick Tracy car.

AWesome job on both the Starion and Jackie!

Some good progress guys, I'm hoping to have another update this weekend. Pat, those two turned out great!

A bit more done on the Dodge: Engine and chassis painted, ignition wires added, and I've started painting the molded-in details on the firewall and inner fenders. I'm giving the engine a little more go with the centrifugal supercharger out of AMT's '57 Ford. Seeing as their durability was tried and proven on the NASCAR circuit, it should be just fine for a cross-country trip. I also decided that, since I'm building the car, I ought to include the little old lady as well: This won't be Kathryn "Put a Dodge in Your Garage, Honey" Minner, though. Agnes here is a former pilot and mechanic, who decided in her retirement to take her knowledge and no-cares-to-give and put them into building the ultimate street racer. The "dotty old pensioner" facade helps her get away with a lot more than someone of lesser years may be able to.

Nice progress, guys - these are looking great!

I have the '55 Cadillacs from both GreenLight and Jada, the former as the car from The Godfather and the latter as Elvis' Caddy: GreenLight's has some excellent details, right down to the Autronic Eye on the dashboard. It also has much more elaborate paint apps, including a multi-color interior and black wash on the grille. The downside is that it's undersized - about 1/27 scale. Jada's is a lot simpler, with fewer painted details (the interior is a soild off-white) and some details omitted altogether like the vent windows. But it's a true 1/24 scale, and has an opening hood and trunk.

Looks good! This was one of ther weirder kits that I've built, but as you've shown it comes together nicely.

Excellent job on this, the colors and details look spot-on!

Some great progress here, and congrats to Oldmopars and Kurt for crossing the line! I've hardly touched a model in weeks, apparently 2021 didn't get the memo that everything being a PITA was 2020's thing. What little I did do went towards making a little progress on the Little Old Lady's Dodge: Glued the engine bay and transmission crossmember in place so they could be painted together, and plugged the holes Lindberg included for the stock exhaust (even though the kit's exhaust stops at the headers). I also started doing some work inside. I'll use the kit -supplied roll cage, so I left those holes alone, but saw no need for a back seat. So using the '64 Richard Petty Plymouth for inspiration, I detailed the rear seat area.

Nicely done, I really like the way you updated the wheels.

Beautiful work on this, that color is incredible!

Nice job, this turned out great!

Very cool, the stance and color are killer!

Very clean work, that looks great!

Wow, awesome progress guys! Also, Snake - "Stupidbird" has become one of my new favorite car names ? Looks like I have to make up some miles, so I better start getting some horsepower pulled together. 1964 was the first year for Chrysler's new 426 Hemi, and it proved its power and reliability right out of the gate by taking the top three spots at that year's Daytona 500. Comparing an AMT '64 Petty Belvedere engine to the one in the Lindberg Dodge, the biggest visual differences are the intake and oil pan. I kept the cross-ram intake (lousy fit and all), but modified the oil pan to a deep sump style.

Nicely done, that turned out great!

Looks good, I still need to pick up one of these.

Very clean work, this looks fantastic!

Very clean work, that turned out great!

Thanks guys! The video tutorials that are available were very helpful, if only to find out how this stuff likes to be prepped for different surfaces. I've got about four thin coats on this, and while I like it I may add a couple more - it does seem to get blacker with each successive coat.

Some great looking builds here!

Thanks! The Fiat was quite a learning experience.
