Thank you everyone for the kind responses! My pops has been building since he was a kid and got me into the hobby as well as the real cars. He enjoys surfing the forums and groups on FB but is not good with posting, commenting etc but I told him I would post some of his builds up, if I get some time I'll post a couple more up later today and try to get him involved on here!

These were both built some years back from Modelhaus resins, my pops isn't very savy with forums, pics and postings so I thought I'd share for him. These are basic curbside builds, they have full chassis' under them from the AMT 59 El Camino and 58 Impala under them, painted and built. The colors are original GM colors (1960 and 1961), believe they were PPG paint and clear. Hope you enjoy the pics!

Most definitely buddy, hopefully you’ll see some of Bell and my projects moving along here!!

Great looking build, same with the other two!

Good looking build!

Back on the build, Bell got a couple of pieces cleaned up and sprayed over the weekend, she is eager to see this build come together, back on it!

Great looking build and family pics

Build is looking good, have a similar one going myself but a little more on the purple side!

Good start, looking forward to following along

Great looking build, like the color combo

Great looking build, definitely like the idea of spare parts build

Very nice, looks great!

Sweet build!

Good looking build and history there Gary

Looking good, like the cooor combo and wheels!

Good looking project! I love these 36 kits, can’t have enough, I’ve been purchasing them for years back to the original AMTs. I’ve only built one of the Revell kits but love it!

Really nice build!!!

Good looking builds and projects

Very nice build, like what you did and the color combo really looks good

Thank you all, was going to spray it yesterday and saw few things I want to clean up a little more, should have some more work in on it today and tomorrow, start getting the flocking down and interior together and some work on the engine and chassis!

Good looking build, I have a lot of ideas myself for a few these!

Good morning, yes I tend to use a lot of HOK and other basecoats for chassis, engine and interior parts. Tend to purchase by the quart so it goes a long ways and with the bases being it is only mixed with reducer, what isn't used does not get wasted. I like to use the snow white pearl on a lot of 60's style custom interiors, gives that pearl white Naugahyde look.

Thanks for following along guys, really just looking for a fun build out of this, not looking for anything crazy but I think it will make for a nice build, so far I'm still sitting on Gold/Yellow or Orange for color although blue has also crossed my mind. assuming all goes well with some clean up and stuff, the body will get sprayed and cleared tomorrow hopefully! I'm really considering rally wheels, I like 5 spoke mags but I've used those on a number builds, old school Craigers wouldn't be a bad choice either, we'll see.

Got some more clean up and spraying today. Hit a lot of parts with HOK Jet Black. Will act as a good base as well as satin back for some chassis and interior pieces.

What's good everyone, been a good minute since I've posted on here, work, pool (billiards) league picked up along with everything else and I've had zero bench time in. Bell has been bugging me to help her with her projects, then I came down with Covid which luckily I'm at the tail end of so rather than picking up with some of the older/long term projects I wanted to try and knock something out, for the most part box stock just to get some motivation going and see something get completed. Chose to go with a nice muscle car, love these Nova's and with the kits out there, I believe you can build a pretty nice one with out much modifications. I started cleaning some parts up, getting some of the basics together. The one in the picture is more or less what I'm aiming for, not sure if I'll go with a gold or an orange but as of now I'm thinking something down those lines. Hoping this will be a fun build and get me going again!
