    Good job. I like your paint and foil work. I built the same kit last year and found it to be a lousy kit. You cannot build an accurate factory stock version. It will take a lot of work to build this kit into a accurate factory stock 1960 Corvette. The interior tub appears to be from a 1957 Corvette kit. I had to scratch build a shift console plate and sunvisors. I had to add the rear quarter window frame and glass and drip rail to the hardtop. It was a real challenge to get all of the parts to fit. The chassis is too narrow for the body. I had to glue strips of styrene to the inside of the sides of the body to prevent the chassis from falling out of the body. If you do plan on building this kit, please dry fit all of the major components at least twice so you won't be unpleasantly surprised later.
  2. Cool duo. Nice job on the weathering on both.
  3. Good job. Too bad the reissues deleted the original wheels and tires.
  4. Cool tutorial. Thanks for sharing!
  5. Cool build. My parents bought a 1981 Citation 4 door hatchback new when I was a child. It was a lousy car but I have a lot of childhood memories in that car.
  6. Cool gasser. Well built and detailed. The clear red parts make it stand out.
  7. Thanks for tip on the tires and wheels!
  8. Cool build. The weathered body works with the patterned roof. I really dig the serape upholstery. Nice choice of interior details. Cool choice of wheels and tires. How did you get the Pegasus tires on the Cragar wheels? When I tried to put on the Pegasus 5.20 tires on AMT Cragars, the whitewalls would always pop out. Good luck on the auction.
  9. Thanks for posting the pictures.
  10. Cool pics. Thanks for sharing.
  11. Cool hot rod. The 8 ball shift knob is a nice touch.
  12. Cool build. Good job on detailing.
  13. Good job. I really like the black paint job. Very slick.
  14. Last year I bought his 1959 Chevy wagon on ebay. Decent casting but the interior does not seem to fit too well so it going to take some work to get it to fit. Also his resin kits do not come with glass so it will have to be made from clear sheet styrene.
  15. Very sharp build. Well built and finished. Good job on the photography.
  16. Nice build. Good job on the detailing.
  17. Cool builds. Nice that you used 4 bangers.
  18. Cool build. I like the body color.
  19. Cool Camaro. Good job.

    Cool build. Good work on the paint.
  21. Very nice. Keep 'em coming.
  22. Last year I painted Monogram's 1958 T-Bird and I thought I had laid down a good paint job when the following day I found that a small insect landed on the car body and got stuck in the clear coat. Fortunately I was able to remove the little bug with minimal damage to the paint job.
  23. Cool custom. Good choice of colors for the body.
  24. Fun show! Kudos to the organizers for putting on a good show.
