Everything looks great. The exterior details on the camper look as good as the interior. You should whip up some curtains for the windows too.

Excellent build. The angle of the front wheels kind of puts the car in motion- like the it's pulling up to the line.

As far as I can remember the one noticeable difference between the '71 and '72 Chevelle is the little horizontal division on the front turn signal / parking light lenses. What (if anything) else was there?

Your styrene fabrication skills amaze me! I'll have fun watching the progress on this one! I may even learn a thing or two.

I'm just old enough that I can actually remember seeing two of these in 1:1 on different occasions. One in the red-orange color and one in yellow. At seven years old, I thought they were the coolest cars I'd ever seen- and they're still in my top ten!

Ah, the 70's! Back when men were men, the blowers were tall, and the tires had sidewalls! Everything I see looks top-notch! Cool choice of colors and your paint looks really good.

Well worth the effort, the detail is fantastic! Two questions, though: 1. I'm not familiar with the mechanism attached to the differential. Is it something similar to a multi-range axle on a truck? 2. Did you actually open the cowl vent? Regards, David G.

I love old school hot rods like this. A simpler car from a simpler time. Very well done, I should add!

The engine is coming along nicely!

I love these big ol' bombers. My uncle had a dark green 1970 Polara wagon that he bought new in 1969. Being just 5 years old at the time, I thought it was an army tank! He had it repainted to a color similar to yours before he sold it.

Most digital cameras take huge photos around 2000 X 1500 pixels or more. The best way I've found to deal with the situation is to use a photo editing program to crop and resize to about 640 X 480. Most computers come bundled with some version of Paintshop or Photoshop or some other editing software, Even MS Paint works to a limited degree. There are also dozens of programs that can be downloaded for free. Reducing your camera's resolution will give you smaller, lower resolution photos. Croping and resizing your higher resolution photos will give you the option of focusing on a particular area of detail. If you wanted to point out tha black-wash on the grille or the awesome job you did painting the raised white letters on the tire, cropping and resizing is the way to go. If you just want to get a picture posted and aren't worried about showing particular details or features, then resetting your camera's resolution is the answer. Hope this helps. David G.

Send me a PM, Brian and let me know what you're interested in and maybe we can work something out.

Buy it... Build it... Enjoy it! A great looking job on a great looking car!

Last year, I joined the "Half-Way to 90 Club". There are no fancy "clubs" this year, I'm just 46. I'm in the same optical boat as many of the rest of you, I use a lighted magnifier and have worn "progressives" for almost seven years. I can still remember being able to see small thingies by moving them closer to my eyes instead of having to move them farther away.

Beautiful work, the interior looks especially nice.

Looks to me like it was worth the wait! Nice detail.

Hey, another Labor Day baby! What are the odds? Happy Birthday!

A good find, thanks for the link!

Wow, born on Labor Day! What a coincidence Happy B-Day! Carpe Styrum! (Seize the Plastic)

I don't mean to intrude on what might have been a private conversation, but I couldn't resist a suggestion. I'm not much of one to talk, not having really done these types of custom mods yet, but the first thing that caught my eye was the brick-like profile that I think you were referring to. Maybe make a pie cut on the hood to give it a bit of a rake and drop the nose a little. I think this would give it more of a sporty look. The nice thing is that you could do it without having to repaint the whole body. Don't get me wrong, your work on this one is most impressive and the level of detail is top notch as well. I just thought I'd put my two cents worth in. David G.

Very nice detail, cool color, very well done!

Most of you have seen my toy by now. A couple of you have even seen it in person! But here it is again. I recently replaced a cracked "eye pod." There's a slightly tweaked 350 under the hood. Swapped the stock 2bbl carb for a 4bbl Quadrajet. Added an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Dual Flowmaster exhaust. High performance air cleaner. HEI distributor, plugs and wires. I figure it's pushing more than 300 HP now. A bit of an improvement over the stock 240 HP it started with! It'll finish a quarter in about 15 seconds at 75mph in second gear.

According to last night's news, officials believe it was an employee who started it with a carelessly tossed cigarette butt. In my opinion, that would make it even more of a heart-breaker.

Excellent color. If the photos show it accurately, it looks to be the ideal color fot that Chrysler Turbine Car I've got on the shelf.

I won this collection on eBay last week and I've been sorting through it since. These are the seller's pics from the auction page. I hope he doesn't mind me using them. Somebody had a thing for Corvettes, there are even a few more than these. Sorry, I know that's a lot of pics, but there's a lot of stuff! Thanks for your indulgence!
