    That looks great Dave. I'm still plugging away on my 66.

    Excellent work. I built One of those when the kit first came out.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    That is some excellent work, but it costs more than the original kit. If you want a motor, you have to pay the freight.

    I have both a hardtop that I built almost 30 years ago, and a Modelhaus Resin Convertible. They are both in the basement collecting dust. I had planes to do a more accurate 67 using a Revell 66, as I have never been satisfied with the detail in the windshield area on the MPC. I built my first one Xmas 1966, when I got the GTO and the Corvette.

    I saw a one -to-one Wednesday night on the highway. Sweet car!

    Wow!

    Go get em Tom. I rebuilt a 64 hardtop several years ago using the same technique. I have a 65 Barracuda to restore, and I may slip a Duster Chassis under it.

    I have several 63 Impala SS kits from both AMT and Revell, including an AMT 63 annual that I hope to restore. It was never painted nor sanded, but was built as a mild kustom. I was successful in removing most of the kustom scoops from it. I'm torn between building it as a replica stock or a street machine. I plan to do two as Z11 drag racers, as I bought 2 MCW Impala interior kits, and decals to do Malcolm Durham's and Dave Strickland's cars. The AMT 62 Bel Air Chassis works well with little modifications.

    Exactly. I want to do a 65 or 66 GM full size 4 door hardtop. If a new kit doesn't come out in the next couple of years, I may do one myself. I'm not restricted to Chevrolet though. Also, I would like to do a 65-6 Ford Galaxie or Mercury Marauder 4 door hardtop. My grandma had a 65 Galaxie 4 door hardtop that I would love to do a build of.

    Very Nice! That will wake you up in the morning.

    They did have the same backs, and I have those kits, but no cushions or seat backs. I can put an engine together from what I have.

    I have a set of those wheelcovers and the Model Car Garage Photoetch set waiting for this one. I have no use for the Supernatural version, but I want a 4 door hardtop.
  22. Ron Hamilton
    Excellent collection. At one time or another, I had all of those kits. I still have some of them in the collection waiting to be built. Right now I am restoring a 66 Chrysler 300 hardtop I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Its missing a seat, seatback, and steering wheel. I think I have some of The pieces I need, if not, I'll have to find something. Your Spanish Red 66 300 is the inspiration behind this one. I haven't decided on the color yet..
  23. Ron Hamilton
    I have a set of them for a 63 Bonneville build. My Dad had a set of them on his 62 Starfire.
  24. Ron Hamilton
    Again?

    Kudos to you Steve. The Awards are well deserved!
