64 Fairlane (not much here) 60 Starliner Drag The Starliner is just about done. All I have to do is a final paint and polish, BMF and make air intake tubes for the carbs. It has been stalled for probably 12 years and I'm SO close. Thanks for looking and any comments or criticisms are welcomed. Thanks for the ideas Jairus. Later-

I thought that it must be one of yours. It looked like it from what I can remember. So, that makes 5?, I think. They are: 70 1/2 Camaro 62 Bel Air Wagon 65/97 Mustang 64 Fairlane 60 Starliner Drag Car I'd also like to do your 06 Mustang Revell Drag car and your 62 T-Bird (futuristic silver car with glass top.) Here are a few photos of the builds so far. You've already seen the Camaro 62 Bel Air Wagon 65/97 Mustang More to come. Later-

That is gorgeous. Your work on it is first rate. I think I'd give all of my models for a 1:1 like that. Thanks. Later-

OK Jairus- I have a question on another one I've started. Years ago I saw a drawing of a 61 Bel Air wagon done as a driver's rear 3/4 view. The artist had used an additional bubble top to extend the roof. Was that also your drawing? I began building one of it but using the 62 Bel Air. It has the bodywork completed and that's as far as I got. Later-

Dave- Good to hear things are going well. Like the others said, take your time. I'm in no hurry either. Later-

I just took a quick look under Rules and Guidelines and I didn't see anything against this...but I could be wrong. If so, then you may delete this. I just posted an AMT 1928 Ford Model A for sale on Ebay and I know this is a few peoples' Grail kit. If you are interested then search under "1928 Ford Model A". Again, this may not be appropriate, and some may find it tactless, but if I had a kit on my list that was for sale, I'd think that I'd like to know about it. As a matter of fact, I'd like to find an early 60's Ford pickup kit. Anybody?? Later-

If anyone is wondering about the quality and service from Ma's resin, you've got nothing to worry about. Alan is top notch. I just got my order of tires from him and they are beautiful. Fast and friendly service. More than worth the money. Thanks Alan and again, I'll be ordering those Lil' Coffin wheels soon. Later-

Thanks Custom Hearse for doing that. BTW- HOW did you do it? That would be helpful to know. The only progress that I've gotten done in the last couple of days is to paint the engine bay in Semi-Flat black. I'll have some updated photos here soon when I get something substantial done. Later-

Sweet looking little build. Nice for 15 years old. Too bad it's been hidden away. Later-

You're making some great progress on this one. That is going to be one tough looking Chevelle. I really like the work on the chassis. Keep it up. It will be great when it's done. Later-

Thanks guys for the comments. I'm sure that it would make a nice roadster (2 seater). This is the design I am trying to follow. My stripe design is different but other than that it is close. Well, I guess I can't get the image transferred. If you need to see it, it is under "Auto Art" section under the "Sketch Pad" posting. The picture is about halfway down on page 4.If anyone knows how to copy it to here, please do. Thanks again for looking. Later-

Mike- Nice work going on here. It will be a perfect accent to big brother. I prefer the twin hood scoop hood on these cars to the shaker hood. Nice choice. Later-

I don't know what you get, but I get a headache just thinking of starting another project before I finish the other 20-30 I have started. I'm sure it will be cool though. Later-

One of my favorite old Fords. I sure kick myself for not picking up a few of these before. I'll be watching this one. I'd say red w/ black accents. Later-

Jameston- I don't see why not. That color is fantastic on that body. Nice work. Did you ever manage to get spray cans of your paint available? I finally got an airbrush but no hose yet. Later-

I like that Chevelle. Beautiful work on it. I have to ask, what kit is that C-cab? I have the body only that I got in a junkyard buy and don't know what kit it came from. Any photos of the boxart? Later-

Michael- That is looking good although I think it would have looked better in Metallic Purple. Either way it looks killer. You do need a white top and some skinny white walls. Later-

Wow! I like that ad. How can I save that to a bookmark? I can't seem to copy it. Can you PM that to me when You get a chance? Later-

Here is tonight's progress of finally getting around to painting the stripes. Tomorrow I will do some small touch-ups on the paint and finish scratch building and painting the visors. I may finish the engine work too. Thanks for looking and comments/ criticisms welcomed. Later-

I got the idea a while ago to build a model of a drawing that Jairus did of a 70 1/2 Camaro convertible. I was really jazzed about the project when I saw the photo and like all of my builds it has sort of drug out. I had the interior and chassis done quite a while ago. These few photos were taken about the middle of last year. Tonight's work in the next post. Later-

Jairus- Here is a few shots of the 70 1/2 Camaro Convertible that you drew up a while ago. I just pulled the masking off from painting the stripes. It isn't exactly like the drawing but it was your idea that gave me the inspiration. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon. I want to enter it in a local contest April 17th. I hope you like it. Next is to paint and install the visors and final assembly and polish. Later-

Nice custom work you've done. I especially like the interior and engine work. What kit did the basic engine come from? Later-

I like it. Looks like a lot of custom body work. Just the way I like to build. Nice color combo too. Are the wheels from a diecast? Later-

Tom- What a nice clean build. I have one of these kits that I picked up in 2006 before I left Alaska for....sit down for this, $15. I like the fact that you built it stock. Thanks for sharing. Later-

Hope I like it??? What's not to like. It's fantastic. I love that shade of green. Very nice. Later-
