  1. I built this one which offered 2 different grilles for different years. Chassis is generic and engine is way off, but I still enjoyed doing what I could with it.
  2. WOW! That's a lot of "modifications" totally cool, mostly scratch built, I LOVE it! Pearl white will look period perfect, and maybe some purple scallops or fade away highlights, or whatever you choose I'm sure will be a show stopper! I'm a big fan of making stuff, like you've done, very cool modelling skills!
  3. Turned out great, I'd sure love to drive one just like that! (only 25 times larger) Sweet!
  4. Great looking chopped sedan Greg, which body is that? AND............. ya mean 600 ISN'T darn fine sandpaper??? LOL
  5. I love the way you're doing that scoop, awesome bit of real modelling!
  6. Very nice projects, can't wait to see more!
  7. With the hood opened up to clear the blower drive, there's not much left between that and the chrome insert. So I decided to blank it off, and those fender ornaments, they were missing, and because I eliminated the chrome hood insert, I decided to fill those in as well. Still need tweaking but I'm liking the look of less chrome. I do want to try and keep the "62 only" side chrome though.
  8. Mike, now that I've finished my '32 sedan, I'm getting back to the Falcon and I agree I must make the mods you suggested. Any tips before I start on that rear bodywork? Thanks
  9. Stunning work and that green interior is just so sumptuous, love it!
  10. Too bad they're not better, but I'm sure you'll make a masterpiece out of it! It certainly is a gorgeous car in 1:1, can't wait to see your work on this. Ciao!
  11. WOW! That's a CRAZY amount of splicing and dicing, and I love it! I used the '50 Ford kit's chopped windshield on a '41 Lincoln I did, worked great!
  12. I've built 2 of these excellent kits, one bone stock, and one made into an imaginary 3 window "salesman's" coupe, but the salesman sold his to a hot rodder!
  13. Thanks for all the comments on my build. This is what I started with!
  14. Okay, I'm calling this one done on October 15th! It was a lot of fun participating in the build-off, so many cool sedan builds, congratulations to all those who finished and those who still will finish. Cheers!
  15. I did it! I found two washers and these little "jewels" so I painted them clear red, and filled the holes in the washers with canopy glue and let them dry overnight on plastic that I hoped would let me remove them without being stuck, and it worked! They're just simple round tail lights, but because I moved the plate up so high, to cover my gas filler, I needed something like these, so they're super glued on now, like 'em or not! Cheers!
  16. I tried to have mine finished for today, and it is, EXCEPT for tail lights, yes tail lights have stumped me! I worked most of the day trying to modify, scratch build, and fit some, but NO, can't seem to get simple round tail lights! I'm working on them, but I have to quit for the evening, so I'm sure I'll finish tomorrow! I know that the deadline has been extended, but I wanted to finish for today, those tail lights, all the heavy modifications on this build and I'm stumped over tail lights!
  17. Got door cards pretty much finished, still need to decide on tail lights!
  18. Dennis Lacy, that is looking fantastic, I love the colors! Do you need the little decals for the blower?
  19. Ah, sadly I do not, I have so many tires, not all in pairs either! Anyway, I didn't want to use the tiny tires in most gasser kits. These seemed to be what I wanted, I think they're pretty cool.
  20. Chris, I don't see any messages???
  21. Doing a bit more work on my sedan, as I am still trying to finish by the 15th, and I'm almost there. Made some door cards out of old leather, er, I mean sheet styrene! Keeping it simple, but will add door handles and window cranks at least. Cheers!
  22. Yeah, that '61 Falcon grille is fantastic, isn't it!
  23. What's the deadline, or finish date? I've been distracted, LOL
  24. Len said: "I guess those tank straps should go as well as the Falcon tank is mounted via the flange on the tank." I replied: Ha ha, well, I'm not going that far! LOL
