  1. Great build and being a fan of green cars I think this is a beautiful shade.
  2. I've had some issues with the first 1/4" or so around the edges of the sheet not having any adhesive properties. I've also received a sheet that was cracked in multiple places making those areas unusable. Overall I do like the product however.
  3. I've always liked the "Countdown Series" kits as they were some of the first models I ever attempted when they were new. I've never seen the "69 Cougar built as a custom version especially since the more recent release doesn't include those parts.
  4. Okay, good information should I run into a similar circumstance.
  5. How do you go about repairing the C-pillar on the Buick. And a '65? That's a pretty rare model I would think.
  6. That's just perfection. I like this era of the Nova with a vinyl top.
  7. Great job as always. I've only seen a couple of these in person all the years I've attended car shows.
  8. Great save Jason and I like the color and application of the blue.
  9. Great work grafting the Camaro roof onto the Firebird body. I'm looking at my Firebird which is currently unbuilt and some of what stands out is the front windshield was not brought up high enough and the rear quarters should have a more rounded appearance where it meets the back of the car. Not having your skills I'll probably just build mine as it is out of the box but I'll probably build up the drip rails with styrene rods since the trim lines are barely molded around the side windows.
  10. It's true and we've all seen old muscle cars from time to time that were just primer. Are you looking to do a factory type color for this one?
  11. I like this color and it's okay if this one is done without an engine. I build them curbside occasionally.
  12. The paint polished up beautifully and the interior looks very crisp. I like the exhaust tips and just purchased some aluminum tubing the other day as I'd like to use this procedure on some future builds.

    65 Impala

    Great paint (application and color) and your interior detailing on this one is superb.
  14. Beautiful build overall. I like the choice for the carpeting.
  15. This '64 DeVille was molded in green when this particular kit was released. I'm not sure of the date of this one and I doubt if other releases were in this color.
  16. Thanks Carl. Thanks Chaz.
  17. Thank you Craig.
  18. That '73 Eldorado needs to have been under a carport at a minimum all this time. From that picture it looks like a pretty solid car despite the condition of the hood and missing bumper fillers. That must've been one of the first years those had body colored wheel covers.
  19. Thanks Rusty, I was thinking of the '69 Chevelle I built last year when I decided to foil the cowl vents on this one.
  20. Oh I see it now, I made an incorrect assumption based on the white car with blue and red striping.
  21. Nice work and the "Spirit of '76" theme works well.
  22. Great looking build and I've heard this is a nice kit to build. I have one unbuilt that I'm looking forward to completing eventually and thanks for the helpful tips. And nice job wiring the engine.
  23. Great work as always Eric and fantastic job aligning all of those decals.
  24. These are nicely detailed kits throughout. Nice work on the engine and I feel your pain about buffing through the base coat as I've done it more times than I care to remember.
  25. Thank you Mike. Thank you Larry. Thank you Jim. Thank you Greg. rivet counter is a very appropriate description.
