Cool Camaro, you picked a very '70s type of color and it works well.

See, look at the lower left of the pic. That's why I haven't been building much lately. Fallout New Vegas has been eating up most of my free time. Sorry to hear about the injury, I hope you feel better soon. Regards, David G.

Very cool, you should take it on "Antiques Road Show" to find out what it is and what it's worth.

Yep, I built this same kit and everybody's right about the windshield frame. The most difficulty I had was getting the engine to fit. It semed as though I was trying to put a 1:24 engine into a 1:25 car. I used the Testors brand metal foil on my '55 and uhhh, let's just say I'm still learning how to use it. In case you're interested, here's a link to the whole story. Regards, David G.

Most excellent! I keep threatening to build one of these with my Lindberg '34 Ford pickup kit.

It looks great so far. Your ground cover and texture is great, as is the weathering on the wood. But you're right about the water, it's a bit too blue and bright- it kind of leaps out at you. If you're not happy with the water you have, try some acrylic gloss medium. I would use it uncolored, water in little streams and puddles is more clear than anything else. If you do tint the acrylic medium, go with green or yellow and use a tiny ammount of food dye. For example, to tint a tablespoon ammount of medium, I would dip a wooden toothpick in the food dye, shake off the drop on the end and stir the meduim with the dye-soaked toothpick. There is enough dye absorbed in the wood to mildly tint a tablespoon of medium. There are other products out there used to simulate water, heat-and-pour polymers, two part resins, etc. I've found that acrylic medium is the least expensive and easiest to use to simulate small ammounts of water. Be sure to experiment before trying anything on your dio. Regards, David G.

I agree with Sam on the tires, other than that, great diorama! Did you use as natural scenery the backdrop? If so, it adds a lot to the photos.

No need, I thought it was kind of funny but in an "Eeeewwwwww!" sort of way.

I've driven a few of these. One of my fondest memories was sitting in the driver's seat at a traffic light and straightening out one of my legs in front of me. I then leaned forward to look down through the windshield and see if I could see my leg sticking out in front of the truck.

A classy classic!

Your body work is great!

Excellent finish on both the cab and trailer.

Good choice for the roof, and a good job working it in. In my opinion, the roof flows well with the rest of the body. I think if Ford could've built something like this in 1960, they would have.

Looking good! Your attention to detail is excellent.

The most over the top thing I've done with a model car, so far, was to put monster bat-wing tail fins on my Reaver. I love tail fins! Jon and Wheelman, I love the Edsels. Brian, cool thank, was that the one you did for the Post Apoc CBP? Regards, David G.

Waaaay too cute!

Wow. Just, wow...

Very clever! Thanks for letting this one loose on us, I'm sure I'll end up using it some day.

Mad Max would be envious!

Your level of detail always amazes me!

Hey, my dad had one of these too! His was silver and had holes rusted through the floor boards... rather large holes. I seem to remember the car being very fast, maybe due to the weight reduction in the floor. Very nicely done!

It must be the pics, my monitor or my old, tired eyes, but it looked more like a shade of salmon or coral.

Nick, I continue to see improvements in each of your builds. I'm sure I'll be able to see even more once the better pics from your new camera start showing up. Keep up the good work! Regards, David G.

Beautiful work! Is this the kit in which nearly each of the body panels is a seperate piece? If it is, I have an edition of it that I would like to build, but there's no chassis. I've had a hard time finding reference pics for the chassis on the web. I was wondering if you could post a few pics of you kit's chassis so I could get some ideas for scratching or bashing for my own kit? These cars were works of art and your build does them justice. Regards, David G.

Very cool idea, Brian. What you've done so far looks good, but I have to agree with some of the other guys. The yellow seems too bright for the interior. Maybe a saddle or light tan color or a cream or butter yellow leather for the seats with the yellow you already have on it for the dash and some of the metal interior fittings. Regards, David G.
