Thanks again for all the compliments!

Yeah - stuffing a BBC in it was difficult and just when you thought it fit right - you finish it up and lo and behold, the air cleaner hits slightly. I trimmed as much as I could with it built, but just settled for a slightly off hood.

I bought this kit for my 65 Malibu SS build I just completed for the decals, steering wheel and motor. Of course there was no motor. So I wound up just bashing it with the remaining parts from the 65 Z16 kit - such as the motor, wheels, master cylinder etc. Added some red stripe tires I had. Tamiya Lacquer paint.

Just wrapped this up the other day. Typical old school screw together kit with molded in underside and metal axles. Added Keystone wheels and a chain link steering wheel from lowridermodelcarparts.com and some Gopher pinstriping decals. All paints are Tamiya Lacquers.

Just finished it up. I put the 65's BB in it. Added a few things. Gonna post it up soon.

Thank you everyone!

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Much appreciated.

Yeah - I thought about it but wasn't sure how the scale was going to work out. I did buy the 64 kit thinking it had a motor - but LOL it was a curbside. At least it had decals I could use and the correct steering wheel. Good luck on your build!

No, the stitching was part of the seat. Thanks for the compliment - I'm a huge fan of scallops and was happy I found a color combo that worked well with the ones included in the kit.

I have to say - I really enjoyed this kit. Again, all paints Tamiya Lacquer. Custom decals made for the seats and interior colors were a blend that I made. Other than that pretty much a box stock build.

This one was a bit of a challenge as I had to build an almost stock SBC version of a 65 SS using the AMT kit that came with the big block. Luckily he had left over paint so I was able to air brush that. The biggest challenge was the rear end, as it's completely different on the regular SS not the Z16. That and the fact that the small block has a spacer between the radiator and the support to move it back to the motor. I did add some stuff to the model that aren't on his car yet, such as the bumper guards, wheel opening chrome, windshield wipers and washer tank. Those are in the works. Overall I'm happy and he's stoked so that's all that matters. Made the license plate decal and had the SS one from my stash. Here's a couple pictures of his car and then the model version follows.

I've built three of the Galaxie versions of the Fleetline - two for me and one for a friend. This is the first of the re-releases that I have put together. All in all - essentially the same without all the detailed decals or metal pieces. Luckily I had both from previous builds. It's all Tamiya Lacquer, and pretty much a box stock build. Went with the stock looking engine on this one - since I've done the modified versions before. Also left the skirts off as I didn't think they looked as good on the Sedan Delivery and I wasn't going to do the sergeant stripes. All in all happy with the build. I did remember to add the radiator hose after I took the pictures...

Damn. Just Damn.

Again - thanks so much for the kind words. Means a lot coming from all these great builders.

Thank you all so much! Humbling considering all the great builds by everyone.
