  6. Considering they used the LTD's like the bottom picture and Monaco's, quite a few
  7. Simple answer Orange/Teal, and Dark Blue James, that picture above is a "restored" car, look at the below in action photo's.There a bit darker, besides, I'm using duplicolor, it already looks pretty bright yellow with only one mist coat on it. And yes they used Pinto's
  8. Not Sure if this site has them but maybe. http://www.licenseplates.tv/license-plates.html Nick
  9. Oooh Sweet '59, your in Glenn. Nick
  10. Dave, the Sport decals, are stickers, and well there out of scale (too big), I tried, what can I say.
  11. Finally got a start on my second entry, So I'm trying to get this done for a local show in October, I do plan on building it period correct (Ie 1957 or '58), So Far I've used some red oxide to prime it, and have given the engine a coat of paint, I used the red oxide because it agree's with the newer Revell plastic, my grey primer for some reason dosen't seem to like Revell's Styrene. This example is restored Nick
  12. Put the Impala on the side burner for now so I can build this one, I do have a bit of a personal connection to this build, in the 50's my grandfather worked in Toronto with a large Construction Company, they frequently dealth with TMP, who blocked off street they were working on and escorted their equipment.

  13. Another 50's Chevy. 1957 Chevrolet 150 Toronto Metropolitian Police car. This photo is of a Restored Unit currently in A museum. My Model Nick
  14. Dave in '92 the Decals were Slanted as per the photo below and I only painted the trim, the rest is just polished plastic. And as for the interior I'm not overly happy with it and probably will remove it, strip it and re-do it. Perhaps in red? And your correct about the Value $5 for the popular colors, which Summit White apparently is not. Jordan, When I said, could well have existed I mean that a Sport with Silverado Trim (IE Chrome parts instead of the painted black.) Dominik, I don't have a set for this truck, and don't wanna rob a set from any of the others I have, but yes it does look a bit naked. As For Kasey, Cranky, Grey and Rodney Thanks. Nick
  15. Nick This one may be put on the side burner till I get another 50's Ride done.
  16. I've been feeling Nostalgic, Especially after my Great Uncle passed last week, hearing stories of the "Old Days" from friends and family, and watching old home movies and seeing cars with shape and most important a Sound! that dosen't sound like a Summer Breeze when it accelerates. Seeing Fins, Bullet lights And CHROME! But most of all to me, a time when Cars, and Women were shapely and had class, and neither contained more than 40% plastic. So I pulled these guys out, my First Build and a fresh kit of the same release as my first build containing the parts I've located to make it as close as I can, but with my new skills added. So Far we have more detail already, I actually used the kit suspension. And the Steering Works!
  17. Wasn't gonna start this yet but I finished two old builds. Put it back in the box for now, till I finish two more, gonna start my '57 150 Police car tonight.
  18. Quite the mouthful I know, Sort of a what if, and sort of a could very well exist. AMT worthless 90's promo that a co-worker gave me, so I detailed it up, still need to paint the turn signal lenses with some tamiya clear orange soon as I buy some.
  19. Those look a lot better Andre, nice colour as well. Nick
  20. Doc, that Caprice is very cool, I actually bought another one after I saw you were building one, very nice paint work so far. Nick
  21. Should be a interesting build to see finished, I'll certainly be watching to see how that Cuda' grille looks with that chevy body. Nick
  22. Better late then never, Took me a while to dig them all out. Not Shown AMT Bush Baby Courier 4x4 on route via snail mail, and an AMT Boonie Boss I'm working on buying from a local guy. Nick
  23. Well been busy, but I'm moving forward on this one. More to come. Nick Edit: Gotta finish the engine, and I do know about the scratch on the Quarter panel. The shiny spot behind the drivers seat is some clear glue, had to touch up the flocking after a boo-boo
  24. It should, depending on the color you may want to use a barrier coat of some kind (clear coat, future or silver paint works), this car was molded in black. This one was also Black with Orange parts (2 diffrent versions) and this one had a lot of yellow colored plastic Parts For Red, Orange or metallics I reccomend the barrier coat Nick
