Sixties Sam

Nice model! Looks real! I expect to see Eddie Murphy hop out of it any minute! Sam

Very nice! Great finish, and the wheels are cool! Sam

Here's one more.

Here are a couple of mine.

If I recall, I had a Premier model of a Kaiser-Darrin roadster. It was awful! Sam

Casey, that looks a lot like it. It has those upswept headers, and the alternator looks similar. Thanks. Sam

Whoa! That's a beauty! Great color choice, and engine detail. Great work! Sam

Does anyone know which Chrysler engine is included in the old AMT 49 Mercury kit? I have the engine from a very old kit, but I'm not savvy enough to identify it. It has a cross ram manifold with 2 carbs sitting diagonally. The kit instructions just call it a "ram induction engine." I plan to use it in an old Jo-Han 62 Dart I'm making into a pro street type of model. It looks like a Max Wedge 426, but I'm not sure if is. Thanks, Sam

Very nicely done model! It has lots of character. Great weathering! Looks like it had a life of hard work! Sam

I built that kit about four years ago, and it was a bugger! Mine came out....mediocre, which was better than the first time I built one when I was a kid in the 1960's! I got the doors to fit pretty well with some tweaking, but the hood does have a bad gap on the right side. I didn't notice it until I had painted it, and I just said to heck with it! Here's a pic.

Matt, the building fronts are scratch built. They are screwed fast to the base, and can be taken off for transport or storage. They're foam board walls with brick paper or paint finishes. The windows and doors are drawn in CAD and printed out on posterboard, then glued to the walls. I put balsa frames around them for a 3D effect. The sitting figures do not fit in most of the models I have. The GTO driver is an "amputee"! Sam

Very nice! Looks like it would become someone's project car. Good work! Sam

George, it is 1/25. The figures are mostly G scale model train figures from eBay, but some are Fujimi mechanic figures. I'm glad you like it! Thanks, Sam

Those are all so cool! The black "business coupe" type is especially neat! I don't think I ever saw that done on a 49 Merc before. Nice work on all of them! Sam

I'm going with real. Looks too good for a model. Sam

Great build! Good color, wheels, and engine details! Nice work! Sam

Two nice 40's! Great work on both of them! Sam

Wow! That is beautiful, the best 58 Ford model I've seen! Great work. Revell needs to make a 58 with the same quality as their 57! Sam

Very nice! Great finish and foil work! Wagons are cool! I think those Hubley kits were 1/24 scale. Sam

Beautiful Nomad! Great colors and foil work! Nice work all around! Sam

Incredible build, John! Just stellar scratch building! Sam

Very nice! That's a great old kit! Sam

Looks great! It's nice to see one built stock. Nice work! Sam

That's cool - a very different 32 Ford for sure! Great work on the build. Good weathering, looks like it had a hard life of work! Sam

Looking great! The interior is killer! Great seatbelt detail! Sam
