  1. Very nice results. The paint choices during that era make for some colorful options.
  2. I like both of them. It is great you got 2 for the price of one in half the time too.
  3. I like what you have done so far. I will be following. I built one but not to the level you are.
  4. Nice workmanship. Following.
  5. I like your progress so far. Following.
  6. My first car was a 68 Malibu. I'll be following your build.
  7. I have some Mustangs to build. Following yours to learn how they are done.
  8. No fair, That's my color scheme. May I suggest this...
  9. I concur. It took a bit of finessed force to get the interior tub in my day cab. I have concerns when it comes time for my sleeper cab's interior installation.
  10. I agree wholeheartedly. One of my favorites from the 70's was the Pontiac Grand Am.
  11. There was an earthquake in the Seattle area around 20 years ago. I was in a Verizon cell site radio shack installing equipment when I heard banging of some of cable supports outside. I saw the motion of the equipment around me so I ran outside. At that point I got to see two very strange phenomenon. The first was the land, on the horizon, wave like an ocean swell from right to left for quite some distance. The other was watching the top of a 150ft cell site monopole tower whip back and forth 10ft for about 20 seconds. I knew the tower wasn't going over because I know how massive the concrete base in the ground. But it was an experience I'll never forget. Later on I talked to some coworkers who were actually driving across the Tacoma Narrows bridge when it happened. They said many people started pulling over to see if they had a flat tire. (This was the bridge that was built AFTER the other one fell down due to an engineering flaw)
  12. Well done!
  13. Very nice work. I like the Dzus fasteners on the bottom.
  14. I am quite impressed with your details. The speakers behind the grilles is something I have never seen before. I may steal that idea in the future.
  15. Nice Camaro. My late cousin/best friend/buddy has a black 97 Z28 convertible.
  16. Welcome Robert. There are a lot of newer acrylics that should do what you want. Of the 3 be easy on yourself and don't make a 55 with opening doors your first build. Start off easy.
  17. Bruce, welcome. My wife thinks the same way but, I am still very glad to have her.
  18. Welcome to the gang.
  19. Dang! That is one nice shop! Welcome to the gang.
  20. Thanks Jeff, it actually went together pretty well.
  21. One clue is the originals from the 60's do not have UPC codes on the box.
  22. The headache rack is mostly assembled now. I am leaving the chain hangers off until it is painted to prevent ghosting the paint job.
  23. Ok, I just noticed this is a Beaumont Canadian. Was this a kit or did someone do some awesome creativity? Is there a link to this build in progress and/or finished?
