Grew up on hair bands, love nu metal. But sometimes I just have to hear some Peter Cetera, Richard Marx, Roxette and the like.

That weathering looks great. Nice job.

That looks great. An indoor booth is a great asset to have.

Got another trailer roughed together. This one is from the AMT 63 Chevy II wagon kit. Also working on modifying the custom wheels from the Revell 65 stepside Chevy truck to fit the Chevy II wagon. Should look low. This is my first attempt at anything other than OOB.

I understood the entire Model Master line was completely gone.

I love where you are taking this build. The dually rear end really fills up those flares. And satin green paint always looks good weathered.

Got the main color on the drag trailer. Plan is to weather it up a bit. This will be my first try at weathering.

Stopped back in the variety store to get the wife a birthday card and somehow this followed me home.

Looks like a good unit. I just installed a booth in the basement shop and I love having the ability to paint indoors with no fumes, overspray, etc.

I love them. As someone just too young to have lived through that era, they are priceless for replicating the look of those days.

Those pictures are very cool. Definitely some inspiration for builds in there.

Thanks guys, I have a set on the way. I am a firm believer in quality tools. Buy once, cry once.

What sets do you guys recommend for tiny bits? I tried installing pins in some side view mirrors over the weekend. I have a set in a blue plastic case, and I couldn't get them to drill at all. Even starting a spot by twirling an xacto blade didn't help.

Afx, it came in the "Cali Drag Set" with the galaxie and falcon drag car.

Got the Cali Drag Set trailer together and in primer. Plan is to weather it a bit, like a well used trailer. Not beat up, just used. Also started detailing the interior of a 70 and a half Baldwin Motion Camaro. And played with some Pontiac rims from the AMT 69 Trans Am kit.

That is the plan. I'll have to swap the tail light panels out no matter what. Thank again, you guys have been very helpful.

Great pictures, thank you.

It had a hurst shifter, I know that much for sure. Can't remember what it looked like though. Definitely a 4 barrel. I remember him "cleaning out the carbon" on road trips to the grandparents.

Stock for 67. I know it was a 4 barrel, I remember him working on it when I was little. Just need to find an intake setup for the single carb. I have an AMT Trans Am kit that might have one that will work.

No worries bisc. Yep, getting old sucks. I'll try to do a WIP. I am not the best at remembering to take pictures as I go.

Thanks for all the great suggestions guys. I stopped at the local variety store, which has some models, nothing in the 66 to 67 range in that body. I am visiting my dad in a week or so, he has the Revell 66, that sounds like it might be my best option. That kit has the pinstripe decals also. I'll just have to source an intake and carb, I am sure I have one somewhere that will work. My dad isn't a rivet counter by any means, but I want to do the best I can. Fireball has a set of 14 inch Pontiac poverty caps that are probably going to be the closest thing I can find to the wheel covers he had.

Stopped at the local variety store.

Am I reading this right, that the chassis/frame from the 67 Chevelle kit is the same as the 66 GTO kit?

Will do. He was in 70-74.

Thanks Oldcarfan. I have a checklist going on the differences between 66 and 67. Your items have been added. Were the stock valve covers chrome? Dad can't remember.
