The Comet I have was sealed when I got it but the ends were splitting bad so I opened it about 4 years ago. I re opened it till this topic started. Mine had the ''Fast Eddie'' checkerboard decals in the kit# GC-2900

Now thats thinking outside the box for sure, good work

Looks a lot better with all your upgrades for sure , nice job

NIice looking Pontiac ..,really like the back , smooth

I love the 50s and 60s skirted cars, I say go for it

Thats a lot of pipes. and it looks like a nice job Jeff

Thats awesome ihistory Tim, great photos also.Thank you

All bottles from the store or vending machine the deposit was 2 cents, then the quart deposit was a nickel

2 cents for 16oz .5 cents for 32oz and 15 cents for a gallon milk bottle, and try to be quicker than other kids doing the same .

Thats super duper outside the box. Looks pretty neat

Back in the 60s AMT put part of a ''motorcycle'' into 1962 Styline Thunderbird kit. When looking at the back of the instruction sheet it pointed out by arrows what parts were included in your kit, and stated the remainder of parts can be found in other AMT Styline hardtop kits .As a kid I never paid attention to those bonus parts or ever completed the bonus item. It now seems like a cool gimmick from back then to sell more kits , instead of having to mail something or send a dime somewhere you received your bonus on the spot.

A couple of cases of Zywiec will snap something back...one 4 pack at a time

56 Ford

The original for comparison The decals in this kit were missing..The red lights , body ,chassis, interior tub, instructions, parts off the trees and metal axles I did not take pictures of. Is the roll cage in the re issue molded in clear still?

For me at this stage of the game putting my shoes on the right feet and remembering what to do is my ''A'' game

What a great combo, looks great

Looks fantastic Izzy

Thats what I see, but I have old eyeballs?

Maybe cause Mister NNL is using SEPT 39th and your using SEPT 30th, just a guess

Thats pretty wild Tom. It looks like it has some weight to it. I'll get something going on it,been going through tire wheel combos . It was painted silver, I tossed it in Super Clean and shot some pics. Now its in primer to see where Im at exactly.

Ive got one, never took a look at whats in the box, Ill have to inspect a little closer. Yours looks real good Stephan

5th one done since the beginning of summer. Pretty much right out of the box. Black lacquer and 4 coats of regular gloss clear, interior dull coated black seats with white and light grey pleats. It was to have a visor but I dont have it yet. My two regrets are #1 never and I mean never laying this much black paint, fingerprints driving me nuts, #2 I wished I filled in the wiper holes, I do not like the wipers, finding an alternative is a must.

Even more perfect, that boosted the graphics to another level

Decals look perfect, willys looks perfect, I never seen a grille like that before but it makes sense on that build name/ Good woork
