  1. A very nice build of one of my favorite cars!!!! As Enzo (Raul Julia) said in the film (as he ripped off the rear view mirror) "What's behind me is not important!!!!!
  2. You are right about it being fiddly! Mine has been "under construction" for over a decade. Who knows when I will finish it, but yours looks great!!!!!
  3. Go get 'em Bill!!!!!
  4. Very Nice Emmanuel!!!!
  5. Very Nice Rendition of a fine car.
  6. Not weird at all. I have a lot of work in that one, and I like the car. All I have to do is decide on the color, and go to work. The red steelies have narrowed my choices.
  7. I have both the 1955 and 1957 T-Birds, and a '55 Nomad that I built in the '70's, that I plan to re-build, as they were painted with good old Testor's Pla Enamel back in the day. They should come apart easily. I rebuilt the rare AMT '57 Chevy Hardtop Several years ago, and really enjoyed it.
  8. Bill, I like what you are doing with this one. The A'la Cart has always intrigued me, even though it is not in my wheelhouse. I appreciate quality work, no matter what the subject matter is, and this one piques my interest.
  9. MMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!
  10. I see somebody likes Mustangs. I do too, and I like these.
  11. Those bring back memories. It's so hard to believe that those builds are that old. I have several of those that I bought new, that has not been built!!!!
  12. Very Nice. I plan to re-build my '60 in Black, with the Black and White interior. Looking at your build just moved it up the queue.
  13. Very Nice Runner Steve. I consider Chevy Rally Wheels and Baby Moons an upgrade people did over and above the base wheels.
  14. Steve, I had some Rally Green Paint from MCW, but I did not use it on this build. In 1972, Olds had a color called Radiant Green, which was not as bright as the 1968-9 Chevrolet Rally Green. I used Tamiya Bright Green Metallic Lacquer Spray. I liked the color, and knew that I would use it on something.
  15. That is so nice Steve.
  16. I appreciate the comments on my builds with Dog Dish Caps on Steelies. Here is the rundown on some of my favorite builds with them. 1971 Dodge Charger R/T Hemi 1965 Dodge Polara CHP Cruiser 1966 Chevelle Super Sport 1958 Chevy Biscayne 1960 Chevy Corvair 700 Sedan (Under Construction) 1068 Chevy Nova SS COPO 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T 1964 Pontiac GTO Convertible 1972 Olds 443 Holiday Coupe I have a few more Muscle, Compact, and Police cruisers to build with the aforementioned rolling stock to build, Some will surprise you, as I have to master a set of caps for a future build. Feel free to comment, and post your builds with Dog Dish Caps here. I would love to see them.
  17. Thanks for the kind remarks on the build. A funny side note on the Dog Dish caps, back in the day when these cars were new, or available to be purchased, If I were to buy a car, I would have never considered a set of doggies, but as I have gotten older, I appreciated the look, and built several muscle car models with them, as they look great with deepened wheels, and an upgraded tire, either red lines, or white lettered. Whitewalls with doggies always looked cheap to me, especially on a full sized upper level car. Even black walls always looked better with them to me. I picked up several sets of dog dish caps in resin over the years, and I have some sets left to install on some future builds. To me, stance and running stock is very important,
  18. I love that car.
  19. I have a Bonneville hardtop that I am going to restore too.
  20. Great score John! You know I have a thing for Red '60 Bonneville Convertibles. I built 2 of them, one an AMT, and the Trumpeter.
  21. That is so nice!!!!!
  22. I like that!!!! I am going to do one as a convertible, I have a chewed up promo to use for the build.
