Nice build. Thanks for sharing. Thanks for sharing all the pics with the different trailers too.

I decant cans and needed to store the extra paint. I got a set of eye dropper bottles with labels from Amazon. The set I got are no longer available but I am sure you could find something similar. https://www.amazon.com/Lab-Dropping-Bottles/b/ref=dp_bc_aui_C_5?ie=UTF8&node=393356011

Your build is sensational. My mom had a boyfriend that had a White Hat 440 Magnum 69 Charger in B5 blue. He took us to 120 mph in it when I was in grade school.

You have done a fine job there. Did the tires come in the kit?

That is a way cool build. I like it!

Simple mods like rectangular head lights and Dayton wheels. Maybe some different fuel tanks. Call it a parts pack.

I go old school mechanical. Channel lock pliers. If it is really bad then then I use my plastic jaw Pana-vise to hold the bottle. Too lazy to clean the cap/threads after every use.

Builds in progress use the original kit box until done. When complete, the bottom gets reused as a parts bin (or recycled) The tops get folded and stuffed in a stack under my parts dresser. If the box has been damaged, it hits the recycle bin. I have not yet reached the point where I am out of display space for my builds. I HAVE reached the point where I am out of space for my stash. I have two large boxes of unbuilt/never-will-get-built kits I need to make go away. I would be happy to trade them off even at a significant loss as long as I am not wasting more cash on shipping them.

I use CA glue very sparingly for just this reason. It likes to mess up glossy and/or chrome surfaces.

WOW! Well done. If it were a 1:1 I would be scared to ride in it.

Those look great. Curiosity question. 1st Gen Monte Carlos only came with 350 SBC or 454 BBCs. Your 427 callouts, were they for some class category with a displacement limit that your were trying to duplicate?

I stuffed a 427 Cammer in an AMT 67 GT. It was quite a challenge. I also stuffed an AMT 67 engine bay in the lame AMT 68 Shelby THEN stuffed a 428 CJ into that. Lastly I put a Boss 429 into the Revell 69 Mach 1. You just have to be motivated.

Semantics. It seems to boil down to each person's definition of the words they use. Kind of like when we all used to agree on the definition of "they" or "them". "Time's are a changin'."

I use MS Outlook 2007. I too have tried the "block senders". Some go to the Junk folder but most do not. Also some stuff I approve of will randomly go there too. My Outlook has been broke as far a deleting messages. (It won't let me) At present, I have 48,007 UNREAD emails. Maybe I will get to them if I ever get to retire.

Eclectic group. I am digging the blue LTD wagon.

Does not seem to be a problem with my Firefox browser.

Very Pretty. FYI, GM engine compartments are generally semi-gloss black unless you had the rare red plastic inner fenders.

I line mine with Press and seal film. I also run my fans in advance of painting.

Nice progress. I did a black one with red interior and a red one with a black interior.

A buddy in the Navy had a black and silver one. I am pretty sure it was an 87.

Great job! With some scanning and decal printing you could have matched the 1:1 decal colors.

I always liked that color. Did the twister decals come in the kit? I remember seeing a 1:1 Twister Mustang back in HS.

Pretty truck. Love the tail gate. But, someone stole your back bumper and hitch ball.

I am a die hard SciFi guy. 1: The Expanse (Best special effects I have seen) 2: Firefly (Great story and characters) 3: Stargate Atlantis (EVERYTHING can be fixed by poking at a tablet) 4: Stargate Universe (You never knew what they were going to dream up next) 5: Eureka (Fun, campy entertainment)

Nice build. I like this kit as well. I have built one slot car body, one replica of my Dad's Monte and just bought another on to use as a donor for my recently acquired 1969 Grand Prix.
