Great work. Good looking interior. So....you have a 1:1??? Any photos? I had a friend who had one and I tried to talk him out if it a few years ago. No sale. Later-
Very nice custom. The hard work shows. I like what you have done, but like Mike, to me the headlights are a bit oversized. All in all, a very ambitious project that turned out excellent. Later-
Welcome to the forum! Not a bad looking build at all. I'd say you did fairly well for your first build. You got all of the basics down. A clean looking car with no major (or glaring) mistakes that I can see. Great job. You should enjoy the RX-7. I just recently finished a Aoshima RX-7 myself. If the Tamiya is anything like it, it will go together quite well. Where are you located in Idaho? I am just across the border in Eastern Washington about 30 miles north of Spokane on Hywy 2. Later-
Picked these up yesterday. My wife and i cut them off of a 53 GMC pickup in a farmer's yard. These were the only thing on the cab that was still undamaged. I figured they will make some nice yard art. Model related? Let's just say that they are reference material for my next weathered build. Lol!

Thanks Paul. I've actually got quite a bit done on this so far. The top chop was quite a bit easier this time than on previous attempts. This will be a slow build since it is a filler project for now. Later-
Like many of you I have a number of projects in the works that I bounce back and forth on as I focus mainly on one. This is one that I chopped sometime last year and have been pecking away at it. I am planning a deep red metallic body and fiery orange frame. I started today with a base of copper. Here it is after a few mist coats.

Here is the lowered frame with color.

Very nice indeed. I love the color. I can't wait to dig into my 63, 65 and 67 rebuilds. I may have to go with this color on my 67. My 63 is going to take quite a bit of work like yours. Seems the previous owner glued rectangle taillights on it similar to a 67 Firebird. I may have to do the triple taillight treatment too. Love that look. Later-
Very nice start. The only way to reconcile your delima is to buy a second kit and build it with the aluminum paintjob. Sounds like an easy fix to me. Later-
Brilliant idea!! I can't believe how much time I've spent doing the same. Now I have an easy fix. Your build is looking great too. Can't wait to see more progress on it. Later-
Saw this in a man's yard this morning and I stopped to take photos. 68 Olds Delta 98 Convertible.

For some reason I can only get the link to post instead of the picture.
