  1. That looks great!!!!
  2. Those are nice kits, and your build is pretty nice too.
  3. I sold off my un-built Maverick, as I have a pretty clean built-up that I have disassembled. I am not sure if I am going to do it as a Grabber of a base Maverick. I have some Keith Marks' Grabber decals, as well as a set of Sport Sprint decals. I would like to do a '70 Ford/Mercury Showroom Display. I have enough kits to do a reasonable job.
  4. That looks great!!! The link I posted earlier in the thread has a good detail shot of the radiator shroud. I a planning mine as I write this.
  5. The assistant principal at my Junior High School had one just like that, except that hers had a black vinyl roof, and it had the full wheel covers instead of the 8-Lugs. She lived a block away from me. I plan to do my '69 G/P in Verdoro Green, with the Green Roof, and Saddle Leather interior.
  6. Tell me about it.
  7. Verdoro Green was available as a springtime (mid-year) color on the Firebird Line in 1967. The color was offered across the board in 1968. But of course there was always special paint, where GM would paint any car any color in it's line for a slight additional cost. Go for it!
  8. Can I jump into the fray? I have one in primer. In doing research on the car, I came across this site. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/1967-Pontiac-Bonneville-Pictures-c7557#pictureId=40460143 I really like the '67 Bonneville.
  9. Nice work! I have an unbuilt MPC '72 Vega that I may do something like that with.
  10. Just give me the box. I have enough '57 Chevy Kits to last two lifetimes.
  11. I like the Bonnevilles personally. Either the '66 or the '67 will work for me. I have a '66 Hardtop built up, and another one in the collection, that may be turned into a convertible. I love those full sized cars from that era, no matter the make.
  12. Beautiful!
  13. I love it!!!! I'm going to do one of those myself in Yellow, with a black vinyl roof and interior. My uncle had a '67 LTD and a good friend's grandmother had a Galaxie 500 in that color combination. And besides, I have the paint.
  14. Mike, This is one of my favorite kits, as I have built 3 of them, and have several more to do one day. I like what you are doing with this.
  15. Impressive work!!!! I picked up my Suburban today, and I like it!!!
  16. I love it!!!!
  17. Personally, I like the '57 Ford over the '58, but this build is making me rethink my opinion. I have a decent resin '58 in my collection. Not Modelhaus quality, but very workable. I may incorporate the headlamps into my build of the car, when I get around to it before I die. The mods you are incorporating into the build are very tasteful.
  18. Bill. You can make a Palmer Kit look good. This engine is coming along nicely. I love to see the car you put this jewel in.
  19. Those are my wire wheel of choice. I have used them on several builds, changing the spinner, as I do not care for the one in the kit. Those wheels look remarkably similar to the Appliance Bolt on wire wheels from the '70's that my dad had on his '77 Continental Mark V. I have an unbuilt annual '65 Buick Riviera with the narrow set.
  20. Of course Photobucket wiped out the pictures in my posts, and I am not happy about it. The company made a business decision, which in my humble opinion is terrible ( I could have said something else, but I do not operate that way). I apologize to the members of the board who has not seen my work in advance, as I am not going to pay the price that Photobucket requested, nor am I going to transfer the pictures from the company onto another site, as there are just too many to do. There is a silver lining in all of this. I get to clean up some of my builds, take new photos, and link them up elsewhere, so I can post them. Of course I am going to get back into building, as I have been in a real slump. Now if Photobucket makes a decision to lower the price to a much more reasonable price point, I may entertain that program.
  21. That is a fantastic build!!!! I have a glue-bomb that I cleaned up and some Keith Marks Decals waiting for it. I like the idea of using the Revell Torino Chassis and running gear,
