Very nicely done. Beautiful finish.

52 year old Grand Prix with a 25 year old paint job. Engine is still original with 129K. The best part is the 12 speaker stereo in the original interior.

Super cool build. Well done. -
What are the must-build classic kits?
Bills72sj replied to OldNYJim's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The 59 Fairlane with the retractable top. Revell 57 Nomad. (It intimidates me every time I open the box) -
Acceptance of 3D printed models?
Bills72sj replied to jdhog's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That is a cool truck. I am sure there would be a lot of folks that would build one if they get one. -

Way Cool! I have never seen this livery. -
Acceptance of 3D printed models?
Bills72sj replied to jdhog's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I am in the same club. My 3D printed 4 post hoists sag if the are left in the lifted position too long. However, I am glad I have them for my diorama. I have a 3D printed 1969 Grand Prix that I paid WAY too much money for. The chassis is all wrong but I bough a 70 Monte Carlo kit to fix that. I have enough parts box parts to make a go of it. I just am not yet capable to be able to body work all the layer texturing out of the body. -
Man! That is PRETTY!

All the above. Looks stunning.

This is a cool project. It reminds me of my 74 Hurst/Olds I completed last year. Following. -
I got two of my boys to do a couple. They like being with me but I think the work-to-reward factor was not as satisfying as video games.

Great job on some rarely seen automobiles.

I agree. It is one of my favorite color combos. -
My relationship, hobby and wife, is just like yours. I agree. My situation is similar.

Subject definitely. As a Day-two Muscle car fan. I am fortunate to have a whole lot of choices available. I look in my display cabinet and check my Ford, GM, Mopar balance and then pick 3-4 kits to bring the lowest count closer in balance to the others. I do batch builds so that I can be slightly more efficient with my time and can learn and correct issues on all of them at the same time. I also mix in a Semi (or two) for change of pace. I have a few kits I really want to come out spectacular but I am waiting for my skillset and techniques to improve before I tackle those.

That turned out quite beautiful.
