Never thought much of the Mopar fwd stuff back then, in real or models..That one you built is very clean and well done..You should be proud of what you accomplished..People say you can't polish a turd..You sure did and a very good polish job indeed...

RandyB Nice fleet of Caddies you have there..Very impressive...

BobbyG That 63 that is a brown shade is killer..Got a friend from Minneapolis who moved to Phoenix years ago had a dark blue Savoy post..You might have seen pictures of it on one of the sited..Had 14" tires and steelies/dog dish..Mean looking car done like it came out of the showroom..Was redone by Muscle Car Restorations from Chippawa Falls Wisconsin..Chech their site there might be a picture of it...

You are doing masterful work....Very nice job on what you've done so far..The Belvedere model had a strip of straight chome on the sides..The model without the chrome is the Savoy which took the place of the low line Plaza of earlier years..Keep it going, this is going to be a killer car...

Sedate looking sleeper..Very nicely done, but what a sinister looking car..Did you put slicks on the rear? or did you not put raised white letters on the rear?...Sweet looking ride you should be very proud of..Clean,Clean,Clean....

Sorry AMT/MPC there is NOTHING that does ANYTHING for me..Maybe next releases will...

The paint looks awsome, you have a "sand through" on the tip of the hood but can't see anywhere else..Touch up the hood then shoot two to three coats of clear on it..If you're using Tamiya stick with that brand, then wetsand and polish out the clear..Should look killer when you are done..

Just doing a test to see if I can get into the site again since the new format..Seems like I can..I was using an older version of Google.....

the first interior tub looks to be that of a 61 Ford..The side door handles don't look like where a Buicks would be..Seat design to me looks like Ford Galaxie...

All great models..The Ford(Babe Ruth) was not owned by Jack Roush..It was owned by Bill Davis racing..He went on to own the Dodge that (the funny talking Burton) won the Daytona 500 with..Chevy scooped up Jeff Gordon from Bill Davis..The rest is history...

Very nice job on the kit, especially being not finished or built on your own bench but during a camping trip..A member of our model club (Winnipeg Model Car Club) built some as you did when he was younger..I think he is 65 now..When the new release came out he mentioned he was now going to do one properly..It sure came out nice as did yours..Funny what a few years and more modelling experience can do..Well done...

If that Chrysler turns out as good as that Chevelle its going to look "killer" work on and work on carefully..

I hope when you do the body you mold the front pan in and rescribe proper lines..Looking good so far...

There are sure some nice 34 Fords on this post..Great work guys/girls...

Fantastic build on both cars, especially the multipiece 48 Ford..Paint and execution on both is immaculate..You DO build some very nice stuff..I've seen your other posts on earlier Fords..EXCELLENT work Lovefordgalaxie..I would have called you by name but your handle is easier..Very well done...

SFD Very nicely done..Your build is clean,clean,clean..Very will done..

Addition to my comments, my 64 Plymouth has a bench seat and no seatbelts..Not even mounting brackets..US Mopars had belts and brackets in 1965 while Canadian produced didn't have them standard until 1966..

Uncle Scott 58..I bought a 1965 Dodge Coronet 2 dr sedan from a guy in Minneapolis..Had no passanger sunvisor,no armrests...Also had no back-up lights or w/washer..My 64 Fury convert had no power steering or w/washers but did come with a factory AM/FM radioI've since installed correct power steering and wheel...

Joe, I got one of those 88 Dodge Daytona kits at a brown bag contest..You brought something from your stash that was complete and unbuilt,wrapped in brown paper/newspaper and drew for a kit..The one you get you build for the Christmas/December meeting..Most guy gave POS that they didn't want..I got the Daytona..Not much better than the Omni..Both POS

Paul, I like it all but whats with the green interior?

The orange The orange/red Testors glue or crazy glue(200 mph glue I call it) or Gorilla Super Glue..Paint I always use Duplicolor with two light coats and one heavier and Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel clear(dries and smells like Lacquer) Primer, Sandable grey/white/black or red from Plasticote or Duplicolor...I always wet sand with 2000 wet then polish with Meguiar's Cleaner or Scratch X then finish off with Meguiar's Gold Class paste.Hope that helps..The clear should go on like the base coat applications..

Steven like I told you before you should attend with some of your models the NNL North held in Bloomington each year..There are top ten awards for the whole show and about four specialty awards..You don't compete in classes...The models are judged by vote of your peers..Great fun with many vendors,draws and good talk with other modelers..Its usually the third Sunday of May..(Canada's long weekend) You can look up Fotki sites of dino246gt (Dennis Ezmerlain) or 1802 Fotki site(Rod Maskiw) they are winners most years and have the show on their sites if you can get them..It would be great to meet you and see your stuff in person..

Very nicely done..Although I'am not a Schatz fan, he is a fantastic driver..I remember him when his dad came to Winnipeg Speedway to race and he was a 5 yr old brat..Good family with a heart of gold..You did a very good rendition of this years Championship car..He will win the Championship again this year...He is just that good..

Looks like Butternut Yellow from the old days..Lots of new colors coming out now that were just like the olden days..Sweet looking build thats happening..

Thats one sweet ride..For those who say they have a model in the stash that they will build in the future(distant) and if you are older hope you don't get arthritis or such, bad eye site or dexterity where the right hand doesn't want to work with the left hand..Build it now if you can..You don't know how PO I'am that I can't build like I used to...Sorry for adding the extra comment on the thread..The convertible is da bomb..Great work and detail and very clean..Liking the open vent(not seen too much on models) very catching..Very well done..
