Cool Billy! Your building has come along way. I really like it. Good job

COOL project! If you go with the modern wheels. I would use the Buick V-6 but, If you use the drag style wheels I would use a V8. No matter which way you go you can still use the "ARTERAKE" (HAHA)

Thanks guys, The next shots should have the bumpers and grill installed.

Actually that is where we bought it. So yes, we will be showing it at GM show in Carlisle, PA.

We had a great day working on the El this weekend. Everytime we set a goal each time we work on it but, we run into problems. Saturday was a nice everything goes OK day which was a nice surprize. Here we got the rear tailgate moldings on We had to buy another Hurst shifter with the correct offset for the floor hump and I got all the chrome foot pedals trim installed Front clip is on including the inner fenders Hood and latches Here are a few shots outside under it's own power. It's starting to look like a car again! enjoy!

I bet that will ruffle a few feathers

Harry would have loved it. He is missed for sure

thanks guys. I can't wait to bang 2nd gear!

sorry Lyle! We worked on the El this weekend. Had to make a painfull choice. I will be there next year!

I just finished repainting and moving my hobby room around. I have a 12' x 24' room. Indoor vented paint booth, 8 foot workbench, computer area with a new kneewall around it I have a few kits some paints that's it!

Well here is the reason I did not go to NNL East this year. Had to make a choice. Work on the car or spend money at NNL. Tough call for sure. We now have the body on the frame. Gas tank is in and hooked up. Brakes are hooked up and working. Stearing and everything to have this thing run so we don't have to push it around (it's getting heavy) Tailgate is on and some more chrome. My grandson says "thumbs up" first time out under it's own power in 5 years! enjoy!

Sweet! I can't wait to start mine. I like that color!

I told my wife to get a buck fifty for each of mine. HaHa The wheels are out of my box marked "wheels and tires"

I just glued (epoxied) the tire to the wheelwell instead of using the mounting pins

Great build Lyle! I wonder how Tom Kren is going to build and paint his???????? HaHa

Here are my 2 studes. The first one is a Drag City casting o a post 54 that I converted back to a 53 here is my 2nd one . Miss Deal

Here are a few new outdoor shots

Here are a few new outdoor shots

thanks guys. I want to take some outdoor shots this weekend.

Man I LOVE the 57! Gotta get one,two,three,four..............

I actually finished a model car! The Revell 69 Nova just falls together airbrushed HOK white base with brandywine and candy apple red (no clear) I did not rub this out much so it has a small amount of orange peel. I added a few details on the motor. I have a 350 LT1 with aluminum heads. Yenko photoetch logos on the valve covers. Heater hoses,pre wired with plug wires,boots and brake lines. All the emblems are photetch added aluminum exhaust tips Here is a little tip. If you paint your photoetch emblems flat black and sand the tops off you get a nice black shaddow behind your photoetch. It adds depth to your photos and also if you check out the model in person it looks so much better that straight photoetch to see more check out the link 69 Nova enjoy!

no, it's a SS clone. The color is 69 Lemans blue

My brother surprised me by painting our car 2 weeks ago. (I live 180 miles away) We been getting together 1 weekend a month on work on the car. He not only had it painted it was color sanded and buffed out. we also painted the firewall,dash,back panel black,and black gravel gard under the entire body. Started putting some new and rebuilt parts back on the firewall Here are a few more of the parts and then tucking the body away. Next 3 weeks we will be reinstalling the body unto the frame If you want to see more photos go to the link! Visit My Website
