My first car was a '66 Monza, PG auto on the dash. I believe the taillights were slightly different between years as well as emblems and such. My dad wouldn't let me park it on the driveway because it leaked oil so bad, o-ring seals at the ends of the pushrod tubes. $5 parts, had to pull the heads to change!

Nicely done. Black is tough but you pulled it off, thanks for sharing.

Outstanding work! You nailed it. Where did you source the kit?

Wow, amazing transformation! Thanks for sharing.

Great looking replica, perfect color choices.

All of the above and great photography as well!

Tamiya TS-49. Stuff is pricey but works well.

Just finished this Revell kit, I enjoyed it very much. I admit I'm a masochist in that I enjoy decaling and this car has a lot of them! Curbside, low parts count, I see more of these on my bench in the near future. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Any tips for plastic (styrene) tires?

Those old Pontiacs made good looking race cars, nicely done.

I would like to give a shout out to FSM. I was already a subscriber to FSM and Scale Auto. When Scale Auto went down they converted to FSM and I started getting duplicate issues. An email to their customer service department quickly resolved the issue and they extended my sub to FSM as well. The last couple of issues have had some car oriented stories and interesting stories on new paints as well. I'm not big on figures or spaceships but there are many tips on weathering and metal finishing that are quite interesting. I'm expecting the car content to increase over time and I'm happy to have a print mag in my hands.

Wow! The engine and interior detailing are top notch, very well done.

Agreed, very well done. Always like to see more open wheel cars on here.

I think1967 was the best looking Impala and yours captures the look perfectly. Well done!

This was going along fine until I tried to paint purple over the white, incompatible wrinkling ensued. So I sanded, resprayed the white and went with the decal sheet. After screwing up those up on the wing and rear body, I decided to do a fictional pre-race test car and ended up with this. Oh yeah, the tire transfers were old and wouldn't stick even a little. At least its off the bench. Hasagawa curbside kit. Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

I have this on the bench right now, what kind of issues did you have? Yours looks great!

Very cool! Great job.

Very nice! Unusual to see a Brit sports car with Cragars.

That's a beauty, gentleman's hot rod!

Great to see one built stock, nice work!

Beautiful paint and foil work, well done!

Me too. I scored one of his builds on eBay from his daughter. Clean simple work.

Great model of an icon! Every collection needs #3 and #43.

Amazing weathering, outstanding model!

Two gorgeous cars beautifully rendered! Thanks so much for sharing.
