Beautiful work. The chrome accents on the red body are just right and the interior is very convincing.

Those old Johans' really build up nicely. Great looking models!

Beautiful work, I learned to drive in one of these. Push-button auto, slant-six. Me and my high school buddies beat the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH out of that car but it never died. I would really like to hear more about your garage door backround?

Great looking model, well done!

Very nice, great paint work!

What a barn find! Great model.

Very nice "gentleman's hot rod". Great color.

Looks great, love the color.

Nice looking rig!

Keep it going, looks good.

And no Labontes!? I'm very impressed with the fade job on the Tide ride, great work John. These models are what got me back into the hobby back in the early '90s.

Beautiful. The 56 and 54 cars are awesome, oh heck I like them all!

The pace is picking up......

Great model, the color is just right, nice clean build.

Trent, go to Randy Ayer's NASCAR site and look around. Tons of experience over there with all types of NASCAR racers. The Polar Lights kits IMO are not the easiest to make look good. If you're just getting back into the hobby these may not be the best to start with.

I believe that's part of the front suspension when using the stock transverse leaf spring, not sure what it's called?

And the rumors are true, you can't give them away on eBay, I've tried.

Wow, both you guys do some outstanding work on those 300s. Keep them coming!

Very nice "survivor" car. Love the 6.

I love it! My dad had a '66 daily driver for many years, you nailed it.

Nice Impala! Those wheels set it off just right, not too lowrider and not too donk. Great job.

Thanks for all the kind words. I agree a contrasting stripe would be appropriate, good idea Skip. As far as the seats, i sprayed with Krylon burgundy satin enamel, then applied a thinned out acrylic black wash with a fat brush. One of Harry's posts about black washes encouraged me to try it, I was afraid it was a little heavy-handed but they came out OK. I usually only use the wash for panel lines before paint, ala Cruz. I have acquired several more of these Monogram classics and am getting better with each one. Next up may be a Packard!

Couple more, dang photobucket closed before I was done.....

Finished this one last night. The kit chrome tree was terrible, looks more like brushed aluminum, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I wanted understated colors for a "proper" British motorcar, I wish now I would have gone with blackwall tires. Here's the pics, comments welcome, as always thanks for looking!

Beautiful job! I've been trying to snag one of these on eBay but can't bring myself to pay $70-100. My dad had one when I was a kid, brings back lots of good memories.
