  1. Congrats! Nice items, I especially have an affinity for the Amphicar. Back in 72, a female friend had one! Leaked like a cheese grater!

    Only advice, but when you give a time for delivery, stick with it. Give the customer satisfaction and you will go far. Too many recent resin shops turn up and neglect that portion. Let me know when you get that Amphicar up and running, I'm in for one!

  2. Great build! I won't say its nice... That would defeat your purpose! :)

    How'd you get the wierd staining on the inside right bed rail?

    Steve: I used a brown acryllic...let it dry and painted "the Detailer" blac lightly over it. As it was still we, I shot a coat of clear flat over it. It made it look like termites or wood bees burrowed into it!

    I started by using a resin Chevy six cylinder block from the 50 Chevy kit, making a resin copy of the Monogram V-12 head and putting it all together.

    It later received a resin 57 Chrysler air cleaner...

    Plenty of "Sophisticated Finishes" two part rust, body damage and my own South Carolina road dust!

    I added a head lamp assembly dangling from the right front grille....

    I just completed the Edsel Ranger 4door Sheriff car. I used the the AMT Edsel 2 door Pacer kit, made the sedan posts, rescribed the body for a 4 door car. I also used a 67 Ford 427 for its block to replicate a 430 MEL engine which a few Pacers were found to have had..all Canadian cars. I used the "what if?" method of apprioach also. If they found a couple of 430's in the Ford based Ranger/Pacer series, what prohibits me from adding a Paxton supercharger as the 57 T-Birds and Fords had them as an option on the 312 series engines. Here she is...
