Falcon Ranchero

Really well done; like the colour combo, especially the interior.

Wow that’s interesting. Looks almost like an Econoline pickup.

Well. Now I want to own and drive one just like it.

Began starting the build of my 1960 Plymouth wagon kit. Shouldn’t take as long as the Olds 442 did. Wasn’t going to start it today but it’s raining, and if the A&W car show gets cancelled, then at least I’ll still have something to do today.

That Hudson Jet is a rare sight for sure.

That would be way cool to build it like the one I saw.

Cool stuff. That Coca Cola van was the first AMT kit I bought and built. That was back in 2021. Brush painted it box stock and put a bed inside the van from a boogie van kit my dad used to have in the ‘80s. Contemplating actually making a boogie van out of it. Was a bit troublesome to put together but that may have been my lack of experience at the time.

Very nice, looks great

Saw the Chucky van again this morning; it's an orange Econoline Drag Van with Chucky airbrushed on either side. Also a '79 type GMC monster truck straight out of the 70s by the looks of it. Was parked in the Metro parking lot of all places.

Finally done, looks great 👍. Like the red interior.

Very nice bullet bird. Another one on my list to build.

I second the no front plate thing. Here in Ontario a front plate is required, but on our '69 LeMans a front plate would totally crowd the front look of the car, plus we don't have the bracket to attach the plate to the bumper anyway. We just keep it on the front dash so it's visible from the windshield. If the cops pull you over for no front plate on the bumper, then they literally have nothing better to do.

The 66 Nova looked pretty cool

I was thinking about that. Would like to do a water slide decal as opposed to just making a sticker though.

That Frontenac sure is crazy cool. I think I saw photos of that car on the internet before

Is that Lincoln the '59 I see in the photos? I built one too, was able to find a complete 1965 issue kit still in the original box with original instruction sheet for, all $20.

Very nice. Only ever saw one Edsel close up, and it was a ‘60. At a show in 2023 and 2024, both in Kinross county Michigan.

Holy smokes that’s beautiful. Last year of the Monarch, but one of the best looking years. Like the crown in the grille centre.

The grail kit on my list; gotta get the ‘59 Seville. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.

Awesome score of models there; the exact era of cars I like to build

Very nice; like it a lot. The lines of the '71-74 Charger are just beautiful. Who'd guess that just one year later Chrysler would turn the Charger into a Cordoba.

Finished my second 1971 Olds 442. Have to admit I am quite pleased with the results. I decided to do a 1:25 scale replica of a 1970 Olds 442 Hotweels that I've had since I was a kid. I needed to use big "fancy" rims as I call them; which I usually never do but for this build they were necissary to get the look of the hotwheels. The rims are from the '56 Del Ray. The wheelbacks surprisingly came with the Olds kit, and they fit the rims nicely, but to get the clearence under the wheel opening lip I had to shave a considerable amount off behind the actual rim so they set farther back in the chassis. The paint wasn't exactly what I wanted but it still looks very nice. Plan was to follow the same scheme I did on my banana seat bike, which wears a silver base coat and a transparent red that really pops. The hotwheels car has a similar paint job on it, so I wanted that for the model. But the paint didn't take to the car nicely so it had to be painted over with the red you see on the car now. The stripes were the main thing. They needed to be yellow but the kit only comes with white or black. My brain had a dumb idea that if I put yellow food colouring in the water I dip the white stripe decals into, that it would dye yellow. My brain wouldn't give up the idea until I could actually see in not working. Ended up painting over the white decals, they don't look half bad. I like this one better than the first one I built in 2023.

Very gorgeous, clean, stock appearance. Nice blue colour too.

Small car with a big name; saw what may be a ‘57 also, at the St. Ignace MI show in 2023

My mom saw this in the parking garage under where she works. Usually there are quite a few classics stored there over the years, like a 1978 Monte Carlo, and a 1952 Nash Statesman. Last year I was there once and saw a car under a cover, just the bumper and tires sticking out. Figured it was a '71-'72 Buick for sure because of some of the bumper I could see. Today, the cover was actually off and so it turns out that it's a 1974 LeSabre convertible. Looks to be in pretty great shape.
