Best '65 GP model I've ever seen, period! Incredible job on this one.

I'd say it's looking good, but that would be an understatement! I've got to try my hand at a fire rig one of these days.

My first glue kit was an AMT T-Bird Stock Car- Rusty Wallace Coors car if I recall, and it was way over my head at the time! Of course, I built it right after I finished that Fox Mustang snapper, so maybe I was trying to move along with my skills a bit too fast!

One o' these bad lads... This isn't the actual first one, that one's long gone, but I picked this up a year or so ago as a reminder of how far I've come in my hobby!

Nope- just the old Jo-Han kit...

No kits, but I did get the Grabber hood for my Maverick from Bandit Resins today. Now I've just got to get the motivation to finish the car.

I just don't want to do the same thing everybody else is doing. As Car & Driver's John Phillips once put it- "Some people think of things that don't exist and ask 'why not'. I think of things that do exist and ask 'why this?"

Couldn't agree more, Mark. Anything you can do with a Model T kit, you can do with this one, and have something very unique!

This was inspired by a Tim Boyd article in some other model car magazine (the one without "Model(s)" or "Car(s)" in the title ), where he converted a 4-door Chrysler wagon into a 2-door. Of course, I somehow took Tim's idea and ended up with... a '61 Olds sedan delivery. While the subject and style are totally different, just goes to show you don't need to follow the article 100%! The highlights include a C4 Corvette suspended '66 pro street Nova chassis rolling on Phantom Vicky Halibrands, the 4-door wagon to 2-door SD conversion, and of course, that 4.0 Aurora V8 backed up by a six-speed manual tranny. Should be just the thing for an express delivery, you think?

This is just simply a quick, weekend boredom killer, the buildup of which I chronicled on the H.A.M.B. I guess my new hobby is seeing how many ways I can mutilate the Beverly Hillbillies kit! I scratchbuilt the top and the front 1/3 or so of the chassis, dropped in an Olds 215 V8 from a '61 F-85, and added a grille from a Heller Citroen because it kind of looked like an old Indy car grille shell. The rest is all parts box junk and cast-offs from other projects. Here's how it went together- http://public.fotki.com/ChuckMost/hot-rods-1/21-olds-coupe/

Swoopy!

Very cool, and rakish! Nicely done, and welcome to the forum.

You don't see this kit done as a beater too often...heck, I think this is the first I've seen personally. Great job!

I may be a bit belated, but thanks for the help guys!

OH, just got this... ] One more off my bucket list, I suppose!

Always nice to see a scale Scout!

Oh, yeah... I've had to have my finger stitched back together after a slip-up with the ol' X-Acto blade. Never fun.

Still haven't taken a bash at weathering an Edsel, but I doubt mine would look as cool anyway. Great job on this one!

Looking? I'M the one who had to TOUCH the thing, and I'm fine! Wait... Well, look at that! My right arm just turned green and fell off... That can't be good.

That's just a little bit creepy...

Love the late '50's Lincolns and Mercs!

Cool indeed!

That's how ya make lemons into lemonade! I can't tell you how many of my favorite models of mine were the result of accidents and foul ups! Great save on this one.

Tuesday night, about eight forty five-ish. (I was disguised as a hat rack.)

Highway without his MCM fix...
