Very interesting car. Well-executed. Nice build as usual!!

Looks good. I like that color!

So awesome......and sad at the same time.

Well, looks like I'm out. I just found out that my dad's surgery is scheduled that weekend so I will be in Oregon instead.

Wow that's nice. VERY nice! I like it ALOT!

Already have one of these threads going. It's fairly similiar to the topic anyway. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41444&st=0&p=431671&fromsearch=1&#entry431671

Bruce, wasn't it you that did that '57 Chevy to '57 Pontiac conversion a year or two ago?

I hear ya! It's hard for me to stay the course. It seems I see a new idea in a magazine almost daily. I feel like a crackhead. I'm........so.........scratchy!!!!!!

Not much of an update but tonight I did some necessary under-coloring. In the first picture, you can kinda see how I did the door posts. Kinda hokey but it works.

Thank you! I was really excited to start on the grille.

What are you not thrilled about? It looks awfully darn nice to me!

Good LORD!! This is just flat-out amazing!!

You've got your work cut out for you. Are you sure there isn't a resin one available?

I'm in....keep trying

It's like on one hand....I wanna get in on this SOOO bad just cuz models and music are my things. But, on the other hand, I've got so many projects going right now.......DANG IT!!

Huh....me too!

Holy Schmoly...that thing is all sorts of wicked looking!!

That was a neat article. I printed it for my wife to read.

Great idea!!

Wow, that looks fantastic! It's all downhill from here.

Another vote for white Elmer's glue. Really easy to use and clean up. Takes a while to set up but that can work to your advantage.

With what I've seen from you recently, I'm REALLY looking forward to this build!!

I'm gonna add some confusion here and go against the grain. Ditch the wide whites. Nothing after 1960 should have them IMO...especially a 1970 car! I was diggin' on the hearse idea and then you threw in the surf boards. How cool is that??!! Imagine a broke surfer, trying to open his own business of selling surfboards but the only thing he has been able to afford for transportation is an old hearse.....sweet!

Thanks guys! I really could use all of the motivation on this one that I can get!!

Ok, so here's my stance. I, at one time, had a collection of about 150 models. I had just gotten married, had bills, not enough time, yada yada. I put the collection on ebay and sold everything, and I mean everything (except for the few finished cars and the one half-started car I had) for pennies on the dollar. You don't even want to know! Then, fast forward a couple of years. I decide to finish the one "in-progress" car I had. That of course sparks the fire again. This time I played it smart. Here's what I did: I made a list. I listed the kits that I built as a kid that I would like to try as an adult. I listed the kits that I remembered being so cool and influential. I listed the "gotta-haves". So now, I have roughly 85 un-started kits on shelves in my closet, along with about a dozen or so misc cars, whether they are built-ups needing restoration I've picked up from ebay, or resin kits, or parts cars I haven't given up on yet. So other than some of the releases or re-releases that come out that I just gotta have, for the most part, I'm done (except for the 9 or so that are still on the list) . As far as my finished builds as an adult, I've got 9. The first of those was completed 10 years ago last month. So in doing the math that you all do, I end up completing just less than 1 a year. So I'm 34 now, if I continue on this same path I will finish my last one when I'm approximately 134 years old. So, this "list" I figure, is a good way to go. I have no business buying any new kits not on the list!
