    Just got this in a small LHS in Fond Du Lac.

    You should build it. It will go well with the 1970 Buick promo style kit that was reissued a few years back.

    This lovely was sitting on my porch today. Mostly complete, no instruction sheet and no stock wheels. Engine halves glued together. Original kit tires are gone but someone had the foresight to add a set of newer tires from a Round 2 parts pack of tires with the double white wall stripe...I will take it. Stock wheels are easy enough to find. Pic sourced from the internet. I built this as a teen in high screwl and I always wanted another. Got it for a fair price.

    Got this yesterday at Model Empire. Looks good inside. Decals could have been a better design like the twin stripes on hood or trunk. I do like the side pin stripe though.

    Make sure you let the owner know this problem.

    People forget that a Calais was a model of Cadillac. I remember seeing one, a 1969 model. It had manual wind up windows, no power. Was Calais a down scale model in that year or did the buyer order something off the wall?

    I believe the Buick has an engine as well.

    I have a marroon one and a white pearl one. How many different colors are there of this car?

    Got this one today at my LHS. These were gems when they first came out and they are just as nice now. I didn't get the Nova because I had one already. This pic is from Atlantis web site.

    Cool stuff there.

    That sucks. I've had similar instances which is why I made the offer to get it while the getting was good.

    That's the only one I have as well. In fact I have two of them and a off brand version by Lee

    So I walk into my pharmacy where I get my meds and he has a shelf with model cars in there. Been there awhile and I think I'm the only one who has ever bought a model off that shelf. I know the owner has been wanting to dedicate that shelf to something else as he isn't going to stock any more kits. I asked what kind of discount I would get if I bought all the kits left (6 kits) on that shelf. He tells me 30%. I says Great! I will buy them. So I wound up with a Revell 67 Chevelle, Revell COPO Nova, AMT 1/32 scale 66 Mustang, MPC 80s Camaro, Revell 57 Chevy newer tool, and a Revell 32 Ford. All about 80 bux.

    Which Phrozen printer do you use?

    Just remember on these early issues the side windows are shaped wrong. The bottom sill isn't to slope upwards toward the windshield at all. It should be parallel to the ground front to rear. An easy fix.

    I know exactly where that is. I have family in Oostburg.

    What's your town?

    I had to drive up to Horicon Wisconsin to take care of a legal matter relating to my over exuberance of hustling down the highway. Anyway, this area will be my new home soon as I am moving to the area. I am going to live in Theresa which is a very small village in Wisconsin. Mayville is the larger city near by that has the grocery store and other places needed for my food and other stuff. Not the usual place to find a hobby shop of sorts, but I did. Called the Tinkerer's Shoppe, they have different things for crafters, rocketry, gemologists, board games, and yes....Model cars. A small collection of kits mainly Revell but they are there. I saw some Tamiya kits as well for aircraft. It is a small space so selections are limited but at least car models are present. I bought the 69 Mustang while I was in the store. Prices weren't too bad for a small shop as the kit was about $27.00. I hope I can convince them to expand the selection. My fellow Wisconsinites who live in the area, please patronize the store. It's an hour NNW of Milwaukee. https://www.facebook.com/The-Tinker-Shoppe-164956174056067/

    Looks like it could compete with the Chevy Colorado and it's GMC stable mate.

    1968-69 Buick Skyark/Special/GS. Great little hardtop or coupe. My Grandfather had a 69 Skylark Custom (new) and I had a 69 Special Deluxe coupe (used). Best looking cars of the intermediate class. The addition of Canadian trim to any of the American cars that had it. Beaumont, Acadian, Canso for the GMs and Rideau, Meteor for Ford plus Mercury pickup trucks, and Fargo for Dodge trucks.

    The details you added look great. I love the engine. The work you did on the tail lamp panel is awesome.
