Very nice!!!!

I like the paint so far.

WOW!!!!!!!

You watch yer step Steve! I'll be watchin'

That is one handsome car. I plan to incorporate some of the features on my next '62 Ford Build. I have seen none better.

Well worth the wait. Beautiful model.

Beautiful work!!!!!

Sometimes, things get past the best of us. I have been building for over 50 years, and I will miss something, despite my best effort.I do not mind if someone makes a constructive comment, or points out the omission. One suggestion I have is if the grille emblem and parking lamp problem can be taken care of with a decal, or another part, furnish the modeler with the piece at no charge, with a proof of purchase, such as the upc code. I applauded Revell when they took care of the Pro Modeler '69 Charger, and Moebius when they offered the decals for the Hudson Hornet Air Cleaners. Not every modeler will have a problem, but for those that has the problem, I think this could be an acceptable resolution.

Yes, I found some smaller plastic strip in my plastic box. I also re positioned them. It took a while but it looks a lot better. I plan to build the engine for it today, I may go a little different from the car in the article, in that I am trying not to spend any more than I have in my stash of paint and parts, and I am not going to cannibalize a new kit for anything in this build. It has to be built with what is on hand.

Uh, Yes!!!!

Looks realistically rusted to me.

I built these from the original version of the kit, which is one of my favorites, and I still have several, as they are very good for parts.

I did a conversion when the kit first came out, doing that exact thing. I had to do quite a bit of work to get it to work. The side windows, sail panels, and tulip panels had to be reconfigured. However, I was quite a satisfying build. I may do it again, to do this car... From what I see with the new version, it is what the kit should have been in the first place. I see a couple of them in my future.

Smokin' Hot!!!!!

Very nice work!!!!

That looks good. There are not very many customs of that car posted.

Pretty nice build. It has a very nice look. I have a couple of them in my collection to be built, one of which I am going to do in white, with a blue interior, just like a friend of my Dad bought new in 1963. I was with them when he picked it up at the dealership. I love those cars.

Lookin' good!!!!!

That looks great Jim!!!!

I thought about that, but I decided to make my own seat trim, and it came out pretty good. I did have a back seat, that I used as the pattern.

Very nice Al!!!!

I did the final re positioning of the moldings this afternoon. I was not satisfied with the way they sat on the front fenders and rear quarters. I think they are as close as I am going to get. I have to do a little putty work, and it will be ready for paint. Also, I worked on the seat upholstery pattern change, which is coming along better than I originally thought. I have the doors to do, and just a little work on the seats, and they will be ready for primer. I may be able to photograph it in the next couple of days.

As usual, thanks Tim for an excellent review. I have the paint for it, and look forward to getting my grubby mitts on this one.

I built this one from the original variation of the kit. I liked it so much, that I plan to do another one in a different color combination.

I revised the moldings for the wood-grain today, using a set of half round styrene strip. I think it came out a lot better. I'll get a better sense of things once the primer dries. I also started on the interior revisions of changing the '66 interior to something that somewhat resembles a '67 interior.
