Another Awesome one , Tim. I have heard that these kits can be a nightmare to build. You can tell that if that was the case you had no problem fixing the issues it might have had. Looks perfect.

Thanks, Steve and Hakan. Appreciate the replies.

Thanks, Ray and Larry. I appreciate the kind words.

Andy, thanks for the reply. I'm sure it probably had a pretty good granny gear in it. Getting good gas mileage seemed to be at a premium back then.

Thanks, Howard, Mark and John. Its always great to get positive feedback on a build. If anyone else would like to look at the wip and hasn't already seen it . Click on the link below. It shows how Easter eggs became dually wheels. http://cs.scaleautomag.com/sca/modeling_subjects/f/33/t/131345.aspx

Bruce, to tell you the truth, I don't remember too much about the Impala build. I built it twelve years ago. that's why the paint doesn't match the gold trailer. I don't even remember what gold paint I used on it back then. I used Tamiya on the trailer. I've always wanted to do this project when I saw the picture but I had to wait till this summer when amt re-issued the apache 10 kit.

Wow, Mark. I thought the wip was pretty much hidden where I did it. Glad you liked following along. It was a fun build.

Thanks, Tim. I know what you mean. I was going to put a 348 in it but after my research I found that that was not an option in the 30 series apache. they had 2 235 6 bangers as the only engines available for it. You had to go to 70 series to get the 348.

Ok, Tim. how did you sneak this one past me? Guess it got shoved down before I spotted it. Another awesome build from your bench.

Looking good, Jason. Looking forward to seeing this baby finished.

Looking good. Do you have any ref pictures to share to show us where your going?

most kit decals are not very opaque and a white or any light color decal over a dark surface will allow the surface color to bleed through. If you can purchase decals its always a good idea to buy two sheets and double up on the decals

I hear that nascar is going to require that every team uses this paint scheme. Also they can only use block letters and numbers in black only. You know, to cut costs and make things more equal. They say that the fans will love it.

So clean, so beautiful. Awesome job.

I hope they just call them chevys, fords, and toyotas. No way they should call that brick a camaro, mustang, or heaven forbid a supra. You could fit two supras in that thing.

Looks great, Nice paint and decal work.

So , John. I take it these are white decal paper decals. These are the same I have to make for myself when I have anything but a white car. It would probably work better if you cut the decals out exactly on the edge of the numbers and the letters. in other words remove all the blue back ground material. I know it sounds like a lot of work but that's what I have to do with the decals I make for my builds that are made on white decal paper. The best way to accomplish this and it may sound crazy but install the decal with some blue background material and then after it has set for an hour or so trace around the decal on the model with a #11 exacto knife and remove the excess decal material with a tweezers. It works.

I agree. For that kind of money that baby should fit together like a revell kit. I've always had issues with amt kits. for some reason it takes a court order to get the frame to fit to the body on the fiftys and sixtys cars. I had to use screws once to get them to stay together on one build.

Looks beautiful, Bruce. One of the best of these I have seen done. Really like the stance.

One of the best COTS I have seen done. Excellent work .

Another Awesome one. Paint is superb.

Double WOW , Dustin. You've really out done yourself this time. That finish is off the charts. Excellent build.

Another nice clean build.
