Sun came back and brought the robins with it.

Full on snowstorm yesterday

Finished the rebuild of the '56 Del Ray on Saturday, and on Sunday began working on the FINAL TWO cars I am going to rebuild; no more old ones after these two. My '63 Nova wagon is just shedding its krappy paint job, and my '61 Galaxie is getting an exciting conversion that I don't believe has ever been done before. But that's all I'll say about that.

Whoa the previous build you started from is whack; some kinda tow-truck abomination. GREAT SAVE it looks super classy now 👍

Whoa those cougars sure are noice 👍

phoned home for

That looks real good; I like it a lot. Neat interior lighting idea.

Rebuilt from a fallen apart build from 2021. Same interior and engine compartment, just new paint and wheels. This is what I started with

That’s cool; I keep fantasizing about the collection of cars I’m gonna get; malaise era land yachts and space age jets; those cars I noticed, at least around here, come cheap for good condition. Plus I like them big cars.

The sun 'round here is finally staying out later, and rising earlier

or does it?????

and '59 Buick

that blonde with

I like Edsels; the styling and what not doesn't bother me, but here's some funny things people came up with anyway

Lately I've been noticing the same thing here too.

The other 3 are maybe re-do's; may or may not happen. The Nova and Pinto are more of the transition models, rather than first builds, as I started building in February of 2021, and these two were done late in 2022; the Nova being built in one day start to finish since it was December 31st 2022, also known as 2023 new years eve, so I was able to "burn the midnight oil" with that one. Kits around here are pretty hard to come by; even supplies and paint is hard to find in town, so because it may be a long while before I can get a new kit, I figured why not just rebuild some that I wasn't really satisfied with. So far the two I rebuilt already, left me very pleased with the new outcomes.

Rebuilt this kit from my original 2023 completion which I wasn't too satisfied with. Started with this

Finished the '53 Ford Truck right on schedule, Tuesday evening. Yesterday started number 3 re-do, the 1956 Del Ray. Should be a weekend completion. Have actually 3 others I may redo, namely my '63 Nova Wagon, '66 Wildcat, and '77 Pinto as I know they're cool cars but the way I built them was still in the "learning" zone; the Nova and Pinto having been brush painted.

because I can

Thank goodness for

That's cool they totally look like models or toys

I dig that GTX and the Daytona 👍

‘66 Dodge, either a Monaco or Polara.

that are usually

Truth will set you free, unless it'll cause a big hassle and hurt someone so then it's just better to make something up
