    That dusk pearl is such a handsome color on that car.

    Yesterday I got an Automodello Triple White 71 Lincoln Continental Mark III. This is one beautiful model. If I were building one as a model, I would have done it in the colors of my Dad's car, which was Black with a White top and interior. I would have handled the chrome trim differently, but overall I am very satisfied with the model.

    Yesss!

    And it is drop dead gorgeous. I do not regret the purchase. It is the most expensive model I own. Now I have to sell something off to justify it in my mind. Oh well.

    Oh well. I bought a white one with the sunroof. I haven't gotten it yet, but this may be the only chance I have to get one while I can afford it.

    I met Juha a couple of years ago myself and had a lengthy conversation with him. A very pleasant individual. I have a few of his masterworks too to build one of these days.

    Looking good. This one takes me back to November 1977 when I accompanied my sister to do some car shopping. She brought home a Dark Brown 78 Thunderbird Town Landau. It was a beautiful car.

    Very nice.

    I appreciate our relationship. I haven't been working on anything lately.

    I appreciate the gesture. I am " stealing" 289s from the AMT 67 Mustangs for the 66, 67, and 69 Falcons I am restoring. The 66 was a promo, while the 67 and 69 were cars I pieced together from several purchases and gifts of parts. Thank you for the offer, but I am fine.

    I happen to like the late 60's Ford Falcons myself. Looks like you have a decent 68 body. The pillars can be made from styrene strip. I was fortunate that I was able to piece mine together for future projects. Mine only lack engines, which were incorrect in the kits anyway. Good luck.

    These cars are beautiful. My dad had a 71 Mark lll when they were new cars. I wanted the Black one without the sunroof to do something close to his car, but unfortunately, I cannot justify the price.

    I sold Chevy Trucks new in 1978, and it wasn't unusual to see a base truck with white steelies/ doggies/ and white walls. Sometimes the factory ran out of blackwalls, so they substituted white walls for the base tires on stock units to keep the assembly line moving. Such a truck was not so unusual. Those tires will come in handy for another build. I'm going with white lettered tires on my build.

    Excellent collection. At one time or another, I had all of those kits. I still have some of them in the collection.

    You know I love it. Great work!!!

    Handsome!
  17. Ron Hamilton
    Beautiful work.
  18. Ron Hamilton
    Absolutely gorgeous.
  19. Ron Hamilton
    It is a 1/24 kit.

    Nice work on the Bird.
  21. Ron Hamilton
    I really like that kit, as I have two. I built one as a mild custom, and the other is in the box unbuilt. The one I built, I may take down and rebuild it with new wheels and tires. I love the paint job, so I will keep it. The next one will be a replica stock coupe.
  22. Ron Hamilton
    Nice score. I love those suicide door Lincolns.

    I talked to Norm today at the club meeting, and he believes that he still can cast a copy of that hood for you. Gove him a call at 1(410) 768-3648 Monday through Friday during normal business hours between 9 and 5. . I'm not sure of his email address for the business. Maybe someone on the board knows, but because he is old school, a phone call can get you your hood faster. Ron
  24. Ron Hamilton
    I plan to see Norm tomorrow. I'll see if the hood is still available from him.

    So do I. A friend of my dad had a Mood Indigo 71, that I would detail for him. It was a very nice car with a unique color. It had a black vinyl roof, and a white interior. I believe that I am going to do mine in triple Black. It will look quite sinister with the Black center deep dish 300 wheel covers on pin whites, or a set of 20" 5 spokes in chrome. I have to get my 78 Cordoba done first, as I have the vinyl roof mouldings don't. I have to prime and paint it.
