Falcon Ranchero

Does look a bit like Flo; but just like an ugly version

I also like the hubcaps I have in my possesion; the 1970 Meteor hubcap from my grandfather's 1970 Mercury Marquis And the set of 3 (might know where number 4 is) 1968 Chevy hubcaps my grandfather bought for his '75 Monte Carlo but never used on that car and were re-purposed to the 1963 Homade trailer (Lil' Red Express). And also the '58 Olds hubcap I found in the gully under a gas tank that photo evidence shows my grandfather had it on the front driver's side wheel of his '62 Galaxie in about 1968, after having a set of '57 Fords on it in earlier photos. No pic right now but it's this:

Another re-build of one of my favourite cars, the original Dodge Charger; essentially a Coronet witha fastback grafted on, and four bucket seats. This model was originally built in Feb. 2022, but had a bad blue spray paint job. The colour pooled and bubbled in many areas, though when I posted photos of it on here back in July I was able to use dim lighting to sort of hide the bad paint job. So, never being totally pleased with it, I had it redone, and with new rims; the set from my '56 Del Ray, and the center caps from the '66 T-bird. Now after sanding the car down, and re-spraying it with a Duplicolour GM Light Driftwood (something like that), it had a bit of a reaction with the remaining previous paint, and some of the bubbling was still in areas since I didn't want to sand too much as to not accidentally sand off the badging. Because the paint job was still not 100% (though the paint job is way better than the previous) I decided it was time to do intentional rust, as I had contemplated many times before. Not rust bucket, but more like "80s restoration that should be done again" type deal with some bubbling on the end of the hood, lower quarters, etc. Interior and engine compartment remain the same. Started with this

out of proportion

Ok going to get this right this time; 1966 Dodge Charger hubcaps are my favourite. Interesting to know what your favourite stock hubcaps are.

Well that's good you're back into the hobby. So far I've been full speed ahead since I started building in Feb. 2021. By the way, nice stash of kits you have there; spied a '60 Pontiac Trumpeter kit; heard they have loads of small parts. Also the '59 Cadillac Seville is one i've been meaning to get as to complete my "Big Three in Luxury for 1959" having built both the '59 Imperial and '59 Lincoln 2-door hard tops.

I don't know what that beautiful piece of machinery is, but now I actually want one.

Beautiful sunny morning, already above 10 degrees (celsius). But the weather channel says 80% rain right now, into the aft, and sun in the evening, so not actually sure why the sun's out now, but it is quite pleasant.

Wow some of you guys have loads of kits stashed away. I basically have no stash. When I first started building, I guess technically my dad had a very small stash of kits. But then I built all of them. And then when I ran out of kits in that "stash" I just started buying usually one at a time and I typically build it right away. I have a large stash of built kits, but essentially zero unbuilt kits as a stash. That being said I have a few kits I got from a cousin who didn't really have the knack for building kits, that I would never build and have so far just used them for extra parts. Namely a glue-bomb '68 Corvette L88, an unbuilt 2012 Vette, an unbuilt '97 Mustang (I think it's a '97) that was missing a whole lot of things already, including the box, and a '92 Ferrari Testarossa left over from my dad's initial stash; the only one from that stash that I never built. 25 cents at a garage sale I guess he couldn't pass that up.

I definitely agree with this

That does seem quite overwhelming; I typically never do more than two; and usually the other one is quite easy; like when I did the '66 T-bird and '57 Chevy in late December, the 'bird was new out the box, but the chev was just a snap-tite that I re-built. And then again with my '57 Chrysler and '59 Lincoln; the '57 was a secondhand that needed to be saved (lotta work) and the Lincoln was another easy snap-tite. Also when I did the '61 Galaxie conversion to a Meteor, I was also working on prepping my '63 Nova (essentially a snap-tite) wagon for a re-paint. And just now with the Monkeemobile, I've been also working on re-doing my '67 Charger after the horrible spray job it recieved in Feb. 2022. I would never do two new out the box kits at once, let alone 3-4, but I can do some fixes on near complete builds while also building one from scratch.

I like the larger fins, but the front end is an odd choice

That really looks cool; I still have yet to do a rusty model car.
