Cool! Party on, Bill! Sam

Wow! True elegance! Stunning build, Harry! From back in the day when a car trunk was an actual trunk! Great work! Sam

Hi, Don. Welcome to the forum. You'll learn a lot here! I'm a PA guy too, about 10 miles east of Penn State U. Sam

Nice! That interior is killer! The piping really sets it off! Sam

All beauties! The 36 Ford and 40 panel truck really appeal to me! Great work on all of them! Sam

Hey, guys! Here is a Revell 32 Ford coupe I just finished. It's mostly out of the box with a few mods: the body is channeled over the frame rails, removed stock fuel tank, hinged the trunk lid and made an interior for the trunk, and I used a pair of parts box seats instead of the kit bench seat. Engine is from the kit with plug wires added. Paint is Krylon almond and Testors gloss red. Flocking applied to interior floor and trunk interior. The only color I had was purple, so I shot it with flat black after I applied it - it worked! The model reminds me of a bunch of AMT 32's I built in the 1960's, but it's a better kit! Comments welcome. Oops, I added the radiator hoses after the pics were taken. And, yes Harry, I forgot the mirror!

I saw this 59 Bonneville convert in a local car show a few years ago. It's huge!

Looking good! I'm a bit surprised how good that chassis looks for a brushed paint job! Very nice work! Sam

Great build of a classic! I like the color, even if it's not "factory". excellent work! Sam

Way cool! Great finish, and the wheels look tough! Sam

Now there's something you don't see very often! Nice job! The finish looks good! Nice work! Sam

Yes, it is! It was pretty much an easy swap, if I recall. I just cut the front ends off both cars and glued the Edsel front on the 57 Ford. The seats had corduroy upholstery and the front ones swiveled. I thought it was a cool custom at the time (1967?)! Sam

Wow! Really good job on this! Weathering is just right - looks like a real working truck! Great work! Sam

That is a really sharp looking Chevy! Great color and stance! Very nice work! Sam

Here are some of my builds from my teen years in the mid-1960's. Kodak Instamatic photo. I still have the VW bus and milk truck on the far right.

Just beautiful! Great finish! Is that an original kit? Excellent work! Sam

First foil and airbrush use? Wow, he's got some great skills! Excellent build! Sam

Nice! Looks mean! I'm not a Chevy guy, but I'd drive that in a heartbeat! Sam

Sweet custom! It's hard to beat candy apple red for cars like that! Very nice work! Sam

She's real fine, your 409! Great work on this! Great interior and engine details! Sam

Very nice! I like the color, and the wheel/brake disk detail. Driving lights are cool, as is the rear roll pan w/taillights. Really clean build! Great work! Sam

I agree! Nice work!

Great looking classic rod! Clean build, great interior and engine detail. Really nice work! Sam

Thanks for the compliments, guys! I originally built this Dart kit to mimic a real Dart I owned in 1984-1986. I found it sitting in a back yard, and bought it for $200. I did some work on it and had it repainted in its original grey color. The front bumper was bent badly, and I couldn't find one for it then. When reverse went out on the push-button auto tranny, I sold it. Here's a pic of me with it in about 1984.

Casey, I finally got it to work! I attached one photo at a time, hitting "preview post" after each attachment. All went well until I attached the photo above that you copied, then it blew the post away. I tried it again without that photo and it worked! Apparently, there was something wrong with that particular photo that was causing the trouble. Weird! Sam
