Among all the other cool features, I really like the scrap metal license plate idea. I may have to borrow that some day. David G.

Groovy, Man! Can't wait to see more. David G.

Excellent color choice and detail painting. The engine bay and interior are exceptional. David G.

Thank you all for taking the time to stop and look, and thank you the comments you post. I do enjoy reading them. Thanks David G.

I've been watching this one for a while now and each time I check in I'm more impressed. Amazing work! David G.

Well Done! David G.

Wow, You put that one together quick! It came out great even with the silvered decals. Your detail painting is excellent, especially in the engine bay. David G.

Thanks Al. It's Dupli-Color Sunburst Gold Metallic BFM0351. And thank you Hector and Jeff for taking the time to post your comments, I do appreciate them. David G.

I just finished one of these too! Yours came out nice. Love the color choice and racing bits, kind of an 80's street machine look. David G.

Same here! I also think of Harry whenever I fabricate an alternator bracket to avoid having the dreaded "floating alternator", another of his pet peeves. David G.

Looks like you're off to a good start. David G.

Thank you all for the kind comments. I really do appreciate the feedback. David G.

Looks great! David G.

I'm impressed by your seat-of-the-pants engineering. You have a lot of very cool stuff going on there. Also, I'm glad to see that you seem to have decided on using the moons for the rear wheels. You just can't go wrong with a classic! David G.

Nice weathering! A great first attempt. David G.

Excellent work so far. The paint scheme and colors really suit the body style. David G.

Thank you Gregg! I'm really looking forward to seeing MCM back in print and I wish you the best of luck with it. David G.

Excellent color choice! The paint looks great too. David G.

Thank you all for your kind comments. I almost forgot my traditional Display Case Shot. Thanks again, David G.

I actually finished this one almost two weeks ago but I was having trouble getting good photos. This is the AMT Super Wagon drag racing version. For those who may be interested, I have a build thread here. My new cell phone camera is just rubbish. I have to trick it into taking decent photos. But I finally managed to get a good capture of the color. Most of the photos I took made it look too pale or too red. These aren't as good as I would like but they are about the best I've been able to get. I'm fairly pleased with this one. Though I wish it had just a bit more shine. Here is an earlier shot of the cargo I made for it. I couldn't get a good photo of it with the lid on. Thank you to those who provided feedback and support during the build. I can't tell you how many good ideas I've gleaned from all the comments and recommendations I've received over the years. On to the next project. Let's see if I can knock out one more before 2020. David G.

Sweet Mustang! Looks great inside and out. David G.

Looks great! The paintwork and interior detailing are both very well done. Those decals look like they could have been a bit of a challenge. David G.

Fire damage is probably one of the most difficult effects to model convincingly. What you've achieved is spectacular! I remember seeing a burned out truck on this forum some time back, a MAN if I remember correctly. Was that one also yours? David G.

That has to be the finest completed example of that kit that I've seen. Well Done! David G.

Thanks for your reply Mark. One-piece chassis never bothered me too much. They can really be brought to life with some good detail painting and I really enjoy detail painting. One feature that I do dislike is the tub style interiors that frequently accompany those chassis. Those can be a bugger to paint well. Any way, you asked me for some numbers. To my eye, the wheel base looked like 4-9/16 ". I know that the camera angle makes it look like 4-5/8" but it was 9/16". Across the mid section, we have 2-7/16". Hope that helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Hi John. Was the Powerglide that two-speed automatic? If so, that has to be one of the worst automatic transmissions ever! I had a two-speed auto in my '71 Pontiac Ventura with a 250 straight six and that thing was a dog! I used to say it would do zero to sixty in 4.6 days! Yeah, I don't think I have one of those in my parts box. Thank you John. I do remember gold being one of the more popular Chevrolet colors not only for the Chevelle but also the Impala. Anyone who grew up in the '70s and '80s, chances are that you knew someone who owned a gold '68 Chevy Impala- if you didn't own one yourself. Thank you Hector, I'll take a look at that. *********** OK, I finally settled on the "items of interest" for the interior. We have a spare wheel, a cardboard box with a greasy rag and some miscellaneous tools in the back. It was pointed out to me by Snake45 that groceries in the cargo area are likely to topple over so they're now tucked safely behind the front seat. Thank you to everybody who took the time to offer comments, tips and advise. On to final assembly! David G.
