I have the '69 300 Hardtop, and I can say, everything fits very well with just a little cleanup.It looks to me that the AMT '71 Charger Kit will get you most everything to finish it off. You're on your own with the chrome for the bumpers. The rare 'recall" wheels are alumnum, and should be finished accordingly. I love the "Air Trax" kits in my collection. I'll get around to building them someday.

The '62 Nova Wagon Craftsman kit had a separate hood, but no engine, and the '63 Nova SS convertible had a V8 engine, but 6 cylinder engine emblems on the fenders. The '62 Had a 6 cylinder in it, which will also work with a craftsman wagon. I still have the gray wagon, which I added a 327/4-speed to it, which was a very nice resin piece from F&F bought many years ago. I sold off the styrene wagon a couple of years ago. I may do a '65 Drag car, with my remaining "Rat Packer kit. I cannot afford the "Cal Race" kit.

Believe it or not, with all of the hoopla over the "Foose: truck, and your build. I whipped out the red "90's iteration of this kit tonight. I did a lot of work on the body when this kit came out to improve the fit of the doors and the hood. I may just do a side by side build with the "Foose" truck. I have an idea of how I want to approach this one, sort of a "low buck" rectification with a close to stock body. a hopped up Y Block, and some traditional wheels and tires(15"). I am going to use kit parts, and what I have in the parts box for this one. I am leaning towards Red, but Black is interesting too.

Very nice work Tom!!!!

That's very nice Al!

Beautiful!!!!

Back in the 80's, I sold Chevrolets at one of the largest dealerships in my metropolitan area. As one of the managers, I got my pick of demonstrators, and I had several Camaros from this era. '83 Sport Coupe- Black/ Gray Interior 5.0 V8/Manual Transmission '83 Z28 White/Silver Stripes/ Gray Interior T-Tops 5.0 V8/ Automatic Transmission '84 Z28 Black/Red/Orange/Silver Stripes /Charcoal Interior with Sport Seats, T-Tops, 5.0 H.O./Automatic Transmission '85 Berlinetta - Copper/ Beige Interior, T-Tops, V6/Automatic '85 Z28- Copper/Beige Interior, T-Tops, 5.0/5-Speed Manual Transmission I owned one: 1991 RS Convertible - Teal/Black Harrtz Cloth Top, Black Cloth Interior, 5.0 V8/Automatic Transmission (I have built a model of this one from the AMT Kit, with the All American Resin Transkit. It's still on my shelf. I have never had an AMT '83 or '84 Camaro Kit, just the MPC in 1/25, that I built as a Pace Car, but I do have the Revell 1/16 '83 Z28 that I made into a convertible(what was I thinking?), Revell 1/16 '84 Berlinetta, and '85 IROC Z. which were nice kits, and the Monogram 1/8 Scale '83 Z28 Coupe and a 1/8 Scale '85 IROC Z. I do have Revell '85 IROC Z that I have not built, and an AMT '92 Heritage Edition, also unbuilt. I may have to pick one of these up. I hope that I can get a set of decals in a different color than gold, which while nice looking, is very limited in color combinations.,

That is beautiful!!!!!

That is one handsome car Mike. I have a HRM '61 I have to get off of the bench. I want to do it up in Black, with the Silver Coves Black Top, and Black Interior. It's all mocked up. I just need to lay down the paint. Seeing your build makes me want to get it into the line for paint.

Very nice!!!!

I love that car Gene!!!!

It's like magic!!!! I love it!!!

Beautiful!

That is quite lovely Al!!!!!

That's so nice.

You mean something like this????? I have gotten a little further than this picture suggests. As a matter of fact, it will probably be the next one to be done.

I agree with you about the Southern Motorsport's '70 Road Runner resin transkit. I scrapped a '70 Superbird I built many moons ago, and it's in line to be built. I am not sure if I am going to do it as a wedge or a Hemi, and the color. I am leaning towards either Hemi Orange, or In Violet, with a black interior.

If I listed all of my un-finished builds in the queue, I would get depressed. I gotta get to work.

Night before last, I did the "Chrome" on the '62 Newport with a Motolow pen. I have not taken any pictures of it yet, but it does not look too bad. In my research, the Newport Convertible Vinyl Interiors came in Light Blue Metallic, Red, and Black. I am going with Black, with the Black body. That will give it just a different look than the 300's.

Go get 'em Tom. Every once in a while, pieces of a '60 buick will turn up. I suggest that you use parts from a Revell '59 Chevy for the windshield frame. I have the three of them myself, and while the Buick is finished, the Merc and the Ford are in line, waiting to be done.

Here's my '61 Sedan. I built it from a restorable piece where I added the "B" pillar. I have an unbuilt convertible, and another sedan, which I am going to convert into a '62. I also just picked up a builder '62 convertible that is waiting in line with my other '60's Lincolns. I love that black convertible!!!!!

Very Nice!!!! I love it!!!!!

Excellent work!!!! That one is a '61, not a '62. That one will bookend perfectly with my sedan.

Very nice work so far. I want to see more!!!

Thanks Floyd!!! Take care of the Mrs, and I wish your family well!!!
