I love it!!!

All of them are beautiful!!!!!

Thanks Tom, and I hope to see you next year. Happy Holidays!!

Harry, Thank you! The wood panel decals are from Firebird Design. They work well if the directions are followed.

You know I like it!!!!

I finished the wagon last night. Originally, it was going to be a 327/L79 engine, but I decided to go whole hog, and do it with a 427/390 V8 with a 4 -speed. While the powertrain combination was not listed in the factory literature as a RPO on a Chevelle, it was possible that such a beast could be built from the factory, or a local transplant. One of the techs at our dealership did such to an El Camino.

I am shocked that I did not see this one earlier than today on the board, even though I have seen it in person. AMT should have used your car for the box art. It looks that good.

I'm digging all of them, especially the '59 Fleetwood Sixty Special.

I finished the wagon this evening. I am happy with the way it came out, and I will post it "Under Glass" tomorrow evening after I take a few pictures.

Kevin, It looks to me as you are doing a pretty good job on this one. There is not a lot of information on the 1967-73 Plymouth Valiant 4 door sedans, but I found this site that can help you with some of things Bill Geary mentioned about the rear window area. http://www.valiant.org/chron.html Your work is great so far.

This is the best one I could find. I hope it helps. The other cane is on the seat backs, surrounded by the chrome mouldings. It is approximately 15" x 15" on the real car.

Excellent work. I love all of them.

That is a nice one!!!

Well. I did some work on the wagon tonight. I polished out the paint and Bare Metaled it. I got it up on its wheels, and it looks pretty good. The interior is 90% complete, I have to find my seat belt material and install them. I ordered some wood-grain decals, as I did not have enough on hand to do the car. It should be here in a few days. . The interior is done, and looks pretty good. with any luck, I should be finished with it this week. As I wrote earlier, the budget is restricting what I am doing on the project, and the wood grain decals broke the bank. I also decided to take the model in a slightly different direction, which I am going to keep quiet about until I unveil the finished model.

I was determined to get 'er done. Unfortunately for me I have several projects that are in various steps of being built. Most of them for paint, as I have a hard time deciding on a color, or which one to finish. Fortunately for me, if I did not buy another model, I have enough projects to last me a few lifetimes.

I believe that the factory offered vinyl roofs in Black or White only in 1965. A friend of mine owns this car, which his family bought new in 1965, and he restored in the late 1990's. The car never had a vinyl roof. While I am sick of Black, I am going to do mine in Black, with a Black Vinyl Roof, and a Saddle interior, with the Cane accents. I like the look if this one so far.

Al, I know you will do this one justice. I bought this one about 30 years ago, and it was not cheap. It was a new kit. Since I hung out with the likes of Bill Geary, I thought that I would try my hand at a better detailed model with opening doors and trunk. I brought the project to the Toledo NNL, and of course I was encouraged to finish it. During the course of the build, I decided to use the chassis, drive-train, and floor pan out of the then new AMT '62 Catalina. Of course I had to scratch-build nearly the entire interior. Over the course of the build, I broke the A pillars, the rocker panels, and vent windows. It took me almost 3 years to get it done. I love the model, but I will not attempt such a feat again.I did not even put mirrors or door handles on it. I have another '64 GP, and this time I am going to do it from the box.

I did a little work on the wagon the past few days. I "reupholstered" the seats to the '67 Pattern. I also did the doors I decided on Black for the interior, and... Emerald Green fro the exterior color. While it is not a Factory Standard color, it looks as if it is going to fit the concept. I used what I had, and I have to clear it in the next few days.

sneaky

Speaking of the '74 Roadrunner, I combined one of AMT's 74 Roadrunners with a '71 Charger, and I ended up with this. I am going to do the same with a MPC '72 Body I have, and a resin '72 Roadrunner. I love those kits. that kit.

That looks great. I remember getting one of them on Christmas 1965. Spent the day building it, just to have my cousin come over and break it. It took a long time to get over that, but at least I was able to fix it. I have one in the basement in a box that I built in 1977. I may get it out and restore it to the 1977 build if the paint polishes out.

Here's mine. I have not figured out which Dodge I am going to do yet.

I like the idea of doing it as a Savoy.

I'm watching this one. Very nice work!!!!

Incredible!!!!
