Steve, Jeremy, Tim, Doyle, Michelle, Ken, Hanjo, Bill, David and Chris, thanks so much for the compliments and feedback.

Thanks Donato. I actually got the idea for this build from the original Overhaulin' TV show.

Thanks for the compliment. Never know when something shows up and answers a question. I did the same with an AMT 69 Chevelle, using the Olds chassis.

Thanks Tom.

This is an excellent kit, and as we know, for improved detail, the chassis can be used on other GM mid sized cars from this era. I gave this one a monotone finish, starting with House of Kolor Orion Silver as a basecoat. I then masked off the upper portion of the car and sprayed it House of Kolor Ultra Orange. Finally I masked the body side stripe and the hood scoop and sprayed those two areas with House of Kolor Euro Red, with a clear coat by House of Kolor also. Wheels, tires and disk brakes are Pegasus. Thanks for looking.

Very nice build. Well done.

Nice builds, they both look great.

Very well done, I like that bright green paint, beautiful looking vehicle.

Nice build, I have the same kit built but I never did get the bike finished. I was so disappointed when they stopped issuing these Pro Shop kits. The pre-paints are a real time saver.

Nice. Those fat fender Chevies look good hopped up. Very well done top chop, nice color.

Very cool build. I like the weathering too, not too much, not too little.

Very cool, I like two tone paint schemes myself.

Interesting use of flat red and a clear coat. It looks like a factory color. Well done.

Ouch. Thanks for that info.

I agree with all the others. Very nice build, the black wheels and metallic orange give it a sinister look. Your outdoor photos look really good.

Very nice build, like the bright color. As others stated, engine compartment has great details. One of AMT's finer kits.

Beautiful black finish and very good choice of interior color. Well done.

Outstanding.

Very nice build. I really like that paint.

Beautiful Jag, the paint is gorgeous, excellent detailing.

Very nice build, the color looks great, nice details.

I really like this, the two tone color combo really works. Excellent build. I've built this kit and the doors have always been the weak point. You did a great job on the doors.

Absolutely stunning. Very impressive.

Black Gold closed up several years ago. As you mentioned, they may have been purchased by another company but I have no personal knowledge of that. I was disappointed when they shut down since I purchased all of my House of Kolor airbrush paints from them. As far as I know, no one is selling the aerosol cans or the smaller quantity (1 ounce bottles) air brush paints. If you do find them, make sure to post the information here. I have a decent stock remaining but that won't last forever.

I've used them a number of years ago. I have not used any since the company changed hands. As I recall, they airbrushed very nicely, dried much faster than Testors enamels, and didn't need a clear coat. I polished with Novus #2. I'm sure if Mr. Guest tells you his clear won't yellow, he's correct. I've always been a fan of enamels and at some point in the future I'll try them again.
