Nice and zoomie looking! David G.

A beautiful set of Chevys! Now all you need id a dealer 's showroom to put them in. David G.

A good, clean, classic hotrod build. It's understated to the point that it's almost a sleeper, beautifully done. David G.

Nice color combination, good interior and engine bay detail. I like how the gold on the engine block ties in with the interior colors. David G.

One of my favorite cars of that era. Beautiful paint color, good assembly and detail, you've certainly done it justice. David G.

That turned out great! It's a always a good feeling to be able to share a hobby with one of your children. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Expert level kit-bashing and fabricating skills! An amazing replica of a delightfully ostentatious vehicle. I'm curious, have you contacted the owners to share it with them? David G.

Good progress, I'm interested to see how you work the windshield frame into this one. David G.

That is beyond gorgeous! It could easily pass for 1:1. David G.

Hello Everybody! With the clean up work done and some white primer in place, we're ready for some paint. In my research, I've seen this kit painted a number of colors. Even the box art shows up in several combinations of color. All of them look good for various reasons but the original show car was painted red, so that's what I'm using for mine. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment. David G.

It looks like you're adding a lot of interesting detail. Can't wait to see it all in place. David G.

It would appear Bruce, that you've perfected the art of painting. That's an amazing finish. David G.

Fabulous progress on this! Everything looks perfect. David G.

Beautiful engine detail! The body is coming along nicely too. David G.

Nice work! What did you use for the louvered vents? I don't recall those being a part of the kit, at least they weren't in the one I built. David G.

That's a good, clean and solid looking build, well done. David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Thanks for your vote of confidence Carl. I don't know how many times it's been reissued. I would guess around three or four times with the most recent being the 2002 issue which I'm currently building. It's been issued at least once as a glow-in-the-dark model. I've seen a couple of those built up that turned out surprisingly well. Have you built one yet? If so, I'd be interested in seeing how it turned out. David G.

Hello Everybody! This is the Mummy Machine by AMT-ERTL. And MPC at least according to the logo cast on the bottom of the body tub. I first encountered this kit back during its original release period around 1975. So yeah, this is another nostalgia build in which I try to recapture my youth. I don't believe that I ever completed building it as I can remember having the mummy mead and other various bits around for years afterward. Believe it or not, this model kit is based on an actual show car created by Jack Kampney in the early Seventies. The molds for this kit are truly showing their age with prominent ejector pin marks and other artifacts and flaws. Serious clean-up required. That's all for now. As always, please feel free to post a comment and thanks for taking the time to stop and look. David G.

I wish you good luck getting the paint details sorted. It's a drag to have such a thing happen so close to completion. David G.

Nice wrap-up! Such a sexy body design, the paint and details you've added have certainly done it justice. David G.

I'm glad to see this one back on the active list again. Excellent progress on the base! It'll look great when it all comes together. David G.

That looks like a good color combination, love the tail lights too. David G.

Nice work on the hinges! It's great to see this build back in play. David G.
