Looks like you never left!!!! Beautiful work!!!!

I started on mine last week. To be honest, there is a little more flash on the parts than I am used to, but once the clean up is done, the fit is phenominal. In the process of building, I like to fit the car together, glueing like colored assemblies, and tacking the rest together to see where i am going with the build. Look at that detail!!!! And that is before paint. It fits together like a jig saw puzzle, but beware, you have to take your time with it, and if you are a novice modeler, build a few simple kits before tackling this one. This is definitely a "Skill Level 3" kit. And yes, I am going to paint and fiish it soon.

I like your work Frank, but I am the polar opposite. I like to turn coupes into convertibles.

The roofs are not the same. It would be easier to do the conversion on the coupe.

At $6 to $11 for Priority Mail Shipping, How much is he actually making on the kit? And yes the price is higher than what I would sell or buy it for, even considering the "free" shipping. Like anything else, do your homework, and you will not overpay.

When I built my '80 Something Cadillac Brougham d'Elegance Coupe, I re-did the kit's interior per the brochure. When and if I do a 4-door, it will have the same interior.

Very Nice!!!!!

I picked up one of the Stock Versions today, and I am quite impressed.

I am very impressed with your workmanship on this model. I want to see more!!!

Some folks will buy anything I guess. That thing is hideous. Even I will not touch that one, and I have bought some junk in my day.

You have mad skills, and no, not everyone here on the board can do what you did successfully. Sad, but true.

I can't get over that one. Fantastic!!!!

I'm in.

Beautiful!!!!!

I have used both, and like anything else, it depends on what I am trying to achieve. In using the airbrush, the range of colors available from the various paint vendors are phenominal, whereas, if you use hobby paints, and an occaisonal can of Duplicolor like me, you are limited. I am a replica stock builder, and I have stockpiled various factory colors for future projects. Testors, and Tamiya has made a gallant attempt to cater to the Replica Stock Car builder, but their paint does not compare with the product available from the likes of Model Car World, Scale Finishes, et. al., when it comes to appearance. When I started to do this Chrysler 300, I was going to do it as a Replica Stock. When I shot the Testors' Lacquer on it, the flakes were so big, that I either had to strip it, or build it as a street machine. When I painted the '64 Chrysler with Tamiya Silver, the finish blushed terribly, even after multiple coats of clear. Fortunately, the finish came to life after polishing. I shot this Olds442 with Model Car World 1966 GM Fawn. The paint sprayed out of my airbrush smoothly, and without drama. To each his own I guess. I like both, and everything will depend on what I am trying to achieve. The Bonneville was shot from the can.

Beautiful!!!!

Beautiful!!!!

Looks just like my orignial AMT kit, only better, because mine was a glue-bomb when I got it.

You would do that to us. If I get that, I will have to do a Brougham d'Elegance interior to go with it.

Here is the convertible I am working on, from an original kit from '76. I may back date it to a '75, as I have an old glue-bomb that needs restoration. Steve Milbury's '74 looks better.

As Julia Child says, "That looks lovely. Can we eat now?" You did a masterful job on that one.

You did a nice job!!!!! I like the color combination too.

I know I'm good for at least one. Beautiful builds!!!!

real.
