Here is my '68, built from the old AMT kit, with Model Car Garage PE bits, Keith Marks' pin stripes, parts box wheels, and Dog Dishes.

I have built one, and I have a couple more. The tires in the kit are not correct, and there are a few fitment issues, but it can be worked into a very nice replica.

I like where you are going with this one.

That looks good.

You hit the nail right on the head with that one!!!!

I just got mine this afternoon, and I take my hat off to Round2. They did a wonderful job.

I used it on these builds. Make sure you have a fresh sheet, as the adheisive dries out, and it gets hard to remove from the sheet if it's old. It comes in Black, and White, which is a little translucent.

I am enjoying this build, and I agree with George, in that your interior work is beautiful. However, didn't the Brougham d'Elegance option include the pillow backed, diamond button-tufted inserts in the seats? When I did mine, I included the button-tufted seats. Just an observation. Your 4-Door is coming along great. I too would like to do a 4-Door one of these days.

I love the items from Bandit Resins. Very high quality.

Your work is never boring. I love them all.

I like what I see.

Beautiful work, Chopper.

And it takes the Checkered Flag!!!! A hole in one!!!!! Out of the park!!!!! Touchdown!!!!! Swish!!!! One!! Two!! Three!!! Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaalllllll!!!!!!! Did I cover most of them? It looks like a superlative model to me. Thank You Moebius for sweating the details!!!!

I have one of those in my basement with a cracked "A" pillar, which gives me the excuse to fix the too steep windshield angle, as well as other kit problems.

It is a Modelhaus body, and it does build up nice. Here is the one I did.

Have you considered chrome decals, similar to what Vintage Racing Miniatures does. I used them on my '58 Biscayne for the "Fuel Injection" script.

Beautiful work.

I love tis one. I worked a little on my 1965 Corvair Corsa Build. I am at the point where I am about to shoot some primer, but I have not decided on a color combination. It will be a replica stock build.

Zoli, you did it again!!!!

Last week, I was able to get a copy of Missing Link's Resin 1964 Ford Galaxie 500 4-Door Sedan, mastered by my fellow club member Howard Weinstein. Howard did a masterful job modifying the AMT 1964 Galaxie 500XL 2- Door Hardtop into a Galaxie 500 4-door sedan, nailing the 4-Door Sedan roof shape and rear window contours, rescribing the door cuts from 2-Door to 4-Door, removing the "star" from the rear fenders, and adding the "Galaxie 500" emblems in the right places on the body. Howard also made a set of separate door panels, a front bench, and rear seat, which are pretty faithful to the '64 Galaxie 500 upholstery pattern, which drop into the AMT "Nascar" interior tub. The kit consists of the one piece promo-style body, a clean interior tub, separate side panels, and separate front bench and rear seats. The builder must supply one of the AMT '64 Galaxie 500XL curbside model kits, which are pretty easy to find, for the "glass", tail lamps, chassis, chrome grille and bumpers, and tail lamp bezels. You are pretty much on your own for wheel trim, even though he latest issue of the Revell '64 Fairlane 500 Thunderbolt, as well as Trumpeter's '65 Ford Ranchero kit will yield a set of steelies and accurate '64 Ford "dog-dish" hubcaps. The Trumpeter Falcon kits also have an accurate set of '64 Ford optional wire wheel covers. If you go these routes, you will have to add a set of tires, axles, and wheelbacks. On my build, I am going with a set of '64 Galaxie 500 full wheel covers mounted on white stripe tires, which I modified from the AMT '64 Galaxie kit, as this is the combination I have seen on most of the '64 Galaxie 500s I saw as a kid. I applaud Missing Link Resin's marketing of the various Ford 4-Door Sedan resin transkits from the '60's and '70's, as they have a myriad of applications, from family cars, to taxi-cabs, to emergency vehicles, and I appreciate Howard Weinstein's willingness to share his modeling talents with the rest of us by allowing his work to be cast. I just had to get this one up on it's wheels to see the direction I am going to take it, which is going to be just your ordinary family sedan from the '60's.

As of tonight, I have the Missing Link '64 Galaxie 500 4-Door Sedan up on its wheels. I will photograph it in a few days.

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Yes they are. I have the same sheets that I bought from Fred.

Now I know why I like your work, Marcos. Simply stunning!

Here is mine, converted from the AMT Hardtop, using a Modelhaus Boot. I made an operating reclining passenger seat, swing away steering wheel w/column shift and floor shift blockoff plate, and yes it has a 390 V8 and C-6 from the AMT '66 Fairlane Kit. I added the trunk trim to the deck lid. My Grandmother's '65 Galaxie had it. This is one of my favorite builds. I also have a '66 Galaxie 500 7Liter Convertible, and a '66 Mercury S55 Convertible to go with it.
