  1. To me, it is beyond saving. I am a replica stock builder for the most part, and if it were mine, I would make a drag car out of it. OI happen to like first edition Ford Falcons. I would shave the chrome mouldings from it, but keep the body sculpture, and combine it with one of AMT's '65 Falcon Gasser model kits, and do a period car, For the roof, the one from the '65 Falcon will work nicely, and give it sort of a '63 Falcon Sprint vibe. It would be quite unique.
  2. I can't ask for better than that.
  3. I love that car.
  4. Woooooo!!!!!
  5. I know nothing about Military Jeeps, but that one is exquisite!
  6. That is quite handsome, Randy.
  7. I got my '70 Charger Today. I like what I see, and I have the paint to do it with. I also got some AMT Polyglas white-lettered tires. hen I was a kid when this car was new, my favorite color and trim combination was Plum Crazy/White Interior/ White Longitudal Stripes. By the way, I also like that Top Banana Car in the pictures also.
  8. You are absolutely right John. I am trying to get some cast up in resin for several Ford projects of mine.
  9. I, for one, appreciate the fact that you are making corrections to the '58 Ford body, that few modelers would, or could do. That one is looking so good in those colors, if it were me, I would do it up in Pearl White/ Gold Flake with a coordinating 2 tone interior with pearl white roll and pleats, and gold bolsters and primary trim. That would set off the gold and chrome trim on the car.
  10. That one is coming together nicely I built a red on black convertible years ago, and I have a '65 fastback under construction, That's the wonderful thing about that series of Mustangs from Monogram. You can mix and match parts rom one kit or another to get various variants. I may have to do one of those.
  11. I had 2 Citation X11 demonstrators back in the day. One was an '82 in white. with a stick, and the other was an '83 in silver with the automatic. I liked both cars immensely. They seemed like decent cars to me.
  12. Bill is a very good friend of mine, and he builds some wild creations, as well as an exquisite pinstriper. He is a member of M.A.M.A., and lives in the Northern Virginia area. He frequents our meetings and shows, and is quite a prolific kustom builder, and a wonderful person. As busy as he is with life and his projects, I do not think he posts too much any more. You may be able to contact him through the club. http://mamasboyz.org
  13. That is fantastic!!!!!
  14. Fantastic get!!!! I had that camper back in the '70's. I wish that I could find it, but I think Mom tossed it. I still have several '60's Imperials to re-build, and I did a Buick Special Wagon a couple of years ago.
  15. I like that one!!!! I have one to do too.
  16. The last time I built a Mach 1 was back in '71 . I have another in line to be built, along with a '69. Good luck on your build.
  17. I have a couple of oldies that I plan to save. I just found an old built up '64 Corvette Fastback body in the basement. I want to do it as a Replica Stock '64 Fuelie coupe. I have enough parts to make it work.
  18. I just got my hands on a Meng Ford F350. I have been doing some research on the truck, as I want it to be a tow rig for my Galaxie Trailer.I have to decide on a color combination.
  19. On this board, we have all kinds of modelers. I have been in the game for about 55 years myself, and I do not consider myself as a great builder. I know what a great model build is when I see one, but as of now, I lack the vision and the dexterity to do one of those. I do enjoy what I do, and I do the best I can. I have ruined enough models in my lifetime, that I can get a decent build now. Right now my attention span is so short, I have about 20 or so unfinished projects, 100 or so idea builds, and 1500 un-built kits to choose from. Personally, I like the opinions of the so called experts. I take a lot of them with a grain of salt. Also, I am happy to give any assistance to any builder who asks. Fortunately my late Father was a car nut like me, as well as a detail freak. I like detail, and I try to be as correct as I can with my builds. Not everyone is as fastidious over details, and that is fine too.
  20. Marcos, That one is fantastic. I picked up two of them, and a slew of Resin for a stocker, and a personalized one of the truck in the same color family. I got to back to work on mine!
  21. Abbra Cadabbra! You are such a magician!!!!
