    Very nice. Great minds think alike. I think Turquoise is one of the best colors for that car. I have several more of the kits to build.. I really like them

    The caps included in the original kit were baby moons with Chevrolet bow ties. Not correct, but decent looking.

    I have used the Detail Master Version of that product for years. It worked very well for me.

    Oh My!!!!!

    That is very nice. I have a nice unpainted one to restore and a black one I once restored that needs refreshing. I think I'm going to give it a "Perry Mason "vibe.

    I love that one. The Oldsmobile Toronado from 1966-72 are among my favorite cars, and I have several of them unbuilt, and a couple of rebuilders. After looking at this masterwork, I have a 68 I must attend to. I think I have enough parts in my junk box.

    Who could ask for anything more? I have a few of those 1st generation AMT Buick Rivieras in my collection, including an original issue 65 annual that I haven't built. Back in the 80's, I built a 65 from one of the Barris Custom Versions. Since it didn't have a set of stock wheels, I found a set of Buick Chromed Wheels and put them on it. I also put a vinyl roof on it, using some grained contact paper. It is Dark Green, with a Black roof and interior. Seeing your builds reminded me of it. I have to dust it off. I haven't looked at it for over 20 years.

    I'm glad you posted the pictures of your latest masterwork, and I know you will get paid handsomely for it. In November 1977, my sister told me that she was ready to trade in her 75 Cougar XR7. To make a long story short, I went with her as her counselor, and she bought a 78 Thunderbird Town Landau. It was Dark Brown with a matching Velour interior. It was a gorgeous car, which she kept for eleven years, and gave to my Dad. Unfortunately, I am bucks down, or else I would buy one of these kits, do the modifications, and gift it to my sister. I love your creativity Paul, and thank you for making these kits available. One of these days.

    Great work! I have several Cadillacs of this era to build. In doing a similar interior repair to a 71 Eldorado.

    Very nice build. I have one of the annual kits of that car from 1965 that I am going to build one day.
  14. Ron Hamilton

    That looks great Dave. I'm still plugging away on my 66.
  20. Ron Hamilton
    Excellent work. I built One of those when the kit first came out.
  21. Ron Hamilton
    That is beautiful. I have a couple of rebuilder 63 Johan Cadillac Coupe de Villes In the basement. That is an excellent idea.

    I would rather have the mouldings be separate chrome parts.
  23. Ron Hamilton
    Fantastic!!!!!

    I'm watching "Texas Metal" as I am writing this . You are doing an excellent job. I love the wheel and tire choice. I have a 72 under way, where I shortened the bed. I'm leaning more towards a simpler model, utilizing mostly kit parts. After looking at your build, I have to get back to mine.
  25. Ron Hamilton
    I started on my build, and removing the mouldings was the first thing I did. It's not too difficult, but it is not for the faint of heart, as they are thick. It is going to be a "day two" truck, with a V8 engine. The 6 is going into a 70 4x4 Custom, as a lot of them were equipped that way.
