57 Club Victoria with 460+ big block Ford, and tubbed rear end. Thanks for looking, Raisin

Its not getting into Canada that im worried about, its getting back into the USA!

Always an excellent show. Not sure I can make it this year though, new restrictions on border crossings and I dont have a passport. Raisin

Nice work......I am a fan of the early days of pro stock racing too. You really captured the "feel" of the era! Raisin

Thanks plumber, The hood latch was cut out of an AMT 58 Edsel. Yes I am working on changing the interior trim also, with any luck I can have some pics of that up soon. Raisin

Thanks everyone, I am hoping to get a little more done this weekend. Mr Obsessive.......the valve cover decals are from the kieth marks set, the rest are just decals I found on various sheets in my parts box. Raisin

Im from the garden spot of the state, Garden City Michigan. Home of.........let me think, there must be something here?.............hmm...............well, its my home anyways! Raisin

Im a Ford guy, but I have to say there are some pretty great looking Chevelles here! I built this one last year...........

Circumstances have kept me away from building for most of the year, but I recently was able to get back to the bench for a bit. I started this one awhile ago so the paint and foil was already done. I did get some of the engine details done and started on the interior. I cut the hood latch and wiper motor from an AMT 58 Edsel along with using the battery and master cylinder. The small hubcaps are from Modelhaus. I do plan on trying to make the Derby City Shootout this year and with any luck I may have this one done. Thanks for lookin, Raisin

Took the "Liner" to the SEMMEX show on saturday and the AUTORAMA on sunday.

Good to see you back Craig............the El Camino is looking good, but I never expecxt anything less from you! Raisin

This is funny..........I just read your comments on my Starliner build, we said the same thing! LOL, Raisin

Thanks to everyone for the comments. If anyone knows where I can find a nice 1/1 example..............Oh and yes Harry the gold scripts are photo etch. Thanks again, Raisin

Incredible! That build shows great creativity. Everything just comes together as it should. Raisin

The Pontiac is my favorite, Looks great in white. Raisin

Just the way I like em..........clean and not all cluttered up. Nice work. Raisin

Finally got the 'Liner done......... This ones for you Dad, Raisin

When I get a chip I dab paint into it with a paint brush in layers until its just above the serface of the finish. Then i sand it smooth with a fine sanding stick, then polish. Raisin

Its been a long dry spell for building here. My father passed unexpectedly and my heart just wasnt in it. The fact that this is a replica of one of his favorite cars from the past didnt make it any easier. I did however get back to the bench this week and made some progress. Finished the interior and most of the engine bay. Thanks for looking, Raisin

I think your going to love this kit, its one of my favorites. The motor is the best representation of a big block Ford I have seen in plastic. Im working on a factory stock version right now myself. When I foiled mine i taped a guide to my exacto blade to get the trim straight. I cant wait to see the magic you work with this kit. Raisin

Some real beauties there. That Impala has my jaw on the floor! Raisin

Thanks guys, hoping you all have a great new years. Raisin

Here is a linc to what I was able to coble together this year................... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v19/amaz...ss%20of%202008/ Thanks for looking, Raisin

Thanks Bill, yes the caps are from Modelhaus. Probably my biggest complaint about this great kit is that it doesnt come with full wheel covers. I certainly agree with you about the 60 Ford styling. I think GM tended to "overdo" most of their designs. They would take a good idea and "overstyle" it. A description I heard once of the 60 Starliner pretty much nails it.............."They took a 59 Chevy and did it right"

Been a long time since I was able to make any headway on my models. Went back to work the begining of Dec. (YAY!) and its cut into my modeling time. Anyways, I painted and foiled the Starliner for the second time. This is a replica of the car my Dad bought new in '60 and after doing the first body I noticed in my pics that his car didnt have the rocker panel trim. Back to the drawing board! I did a second body removing the molding. Now I dont know what to do with the first! Paint is Tamiya Thanks for looking, Raisin
