Dr. Cranky

Yes, black is a nice color on this car. So is blue.

Here's another beauty: That would be sweet!

I sure do. I am gearing up to building a rusty daily driver of sorts.

Looking forward to more.

Thanks for the lead, Jim. I will check it out.

Al, that sounds pretty interesting. I can wait to see it.

Wonderful trio of Chevys. Beautiful.

I really like the smooth look on this one, but like the Hudson, this one has quite a bit of trim on it that will need to be removed.

For a minute I thought it was Howard H.! LOL.

No, I am going to be at the Tabletop Nationals in Pembroke Pines, Fla.

A few more:

Well, it's out, and I had ordered 4 from Model Round Up, and then found 2 more at my LHS. Something tells me this kit is going to build up into a sweet model. So I've got two already in the soapy bath, and tomorrow I start planning what will happen to them. In the mean time (and as a way to get riled up), I would like to invite everyone who is interested into posting real 50 Olds eye candy, or if you've already built yours, feel free to share pictures of it here. I know these first couple I build are going to be box stock and mild, just to learn my way around the kit, but eventually I would like to build a low rider and maybe even a smooth custom . . . Ideas, ideas, ideas . . . here we go.

That's looking mighty low and great work on the frame.

Doctor Cranky is a mad scientist. Seriously . . . a writing teacher.

I don't know, I just picked up the other Foose kit just to have on in case I want to steal the new wheels, etc . . . it might go the same for this one. I wish they would at least throw extra lowered suspension parts into these. Decals and wheels alone might not be very much of a convincing factor. I much rather save my dough for the 62 Corvette. Just my opinion.

Nice, nice, anxiously awaiting the release. I just got my copies of the 50 Oldsmobile.

Lol, you guys are breathing renewed life into this thread. Excellent additions.

Luis, you can find all the types of wires you want and gauges at your local craft store. Bryan, we need our daily dose of eye candy.

Love that engine detail.

Hey, everyone, I finally got my half dozen copies just to start with. Here's a quick unboxing video for those of you who haven't seen it yet, the kit and it's contents. WATCH VIDEO

I want world peace, less nukes, and everyone to be happy on the planet. If that doesn't work, I want more styrene. :D

Hope everyone got out of the way fast, and I also hope they don't accept any of the free diarrhea inducing food. LOL.

Send some down our way, Junior, maybe that will kill the mosquitos.
