Yeah the hood is a bit wonky. I tried to heat and straighten, but didn't want to stress it. It's hard because it's a 73 body and the rest is either 75 or 68 Vette. Still, I'm happy with it, and hope my neighbor will be too. Perry

Scripts and letters and logos are PE. Finished it. Fought me all the way. Perry

Couple update pics. Coming together.

Looks really nice. Do you work for Schneider? My wife does, and is retiring after 40 years. Perry

I’m not very good at WIP’s because I’m a slow builder. But, I’m working on a Corvette for my neighbor. It’s mostly stock, I’m wiring the engine, PE from MCG, a mix of parts from the AMT 70 LT-1, and MPC 74 convertible. Paint is a Krylon burgundy. It doesn’t show here, but I’m having trouble fitting the hood. It hits the windshield and doesn’t lay in place. Wondering if I should shave some thickness from the hood, or cut some off the windshield? Perry

That looks much better. I'd like to do one of those too. I would put the Rover (BOP) V8 in one. I also do 1/43 scale so there are a lot more LBC's available in that scale. Perry

I too would like a TR 6 kit. I also have a Mimosa Yellow one. I have a 1/18 die cast I’ve taken apart to paint. Need 1/18 scale mini lites for it. Any one know where I can get those? Perry

Saw this over on FChat today. Thought I'd share. I was out at Pebble Beach a few years ago, and though I didn't see this Superamerica, there was a different on I saw. Totally different look. Perry

If you're interested in detail photos, try posting a request on FChat. There are people with amazing knowledge and resources over there. Perry

That is really cool, and well done. I've wondered how these kits look built. Some of the earlier ones were less than 3D it seemed. Kinda flat and featureless. Perry

I've got this Teapot kit as well as a Breadvan trans-kit, a 330 LMB trans-kit, and a Herb Deeks Lancia D50, and a couple other old resin kits. Perry

Nice model. I like that look. I think the pillars you're chroming are C pillars as the B pillar is still in between the doors, just doesn't extend to the roof. I used to bring my building stuff with me on my monthly trips to the U.P. Also rebuilt my TR6 gearbox on a motel room floor in Escanaba once. Perry

Very pretty. Really like the dark blue. It’s a ‘74 with the rubber overrides removed. I’ve had it since ‘77. It’s pretty stock except an S2 cam, higher compression, and SU’s. It’s a dependable driver. That’s my son driving it with his girlfriends son. Perry

Nice garage picture. The Challenger really does make the 6 look tiny. I really like mine.

Thanks. They look realistic. Perry

Great detail on all aspects. One detail I have to ask about. How do you get the wheels, nuts, studs, to look so good? Perry

That really is nice. My late father in law was a mail carrier. I’d really like to do one for my wife. She’d really like that. Perry

Traded with Khils, Kevin, and he was great. I had trouble on my end completing the deal and he was patient til I could make something work. I am still looking for sprint car tires for him. Perry

I used this kit to make a '67 coupe for my son. He has the 1:1 version. Your color and ours looks similar, Acapulco Blue. It is finished, but I can't find any pictures of it finished. Perry

Seemed too obvious. Overthought it, and seemed the picture was in Europe, Germany, I thought, "No, can't be." Perry

I have some of the Revival 1/20 scale metal kits. A 156 Sharknose signed by Phil Hill, an Alfa Muletto P3, and a Mercedes. Nice wire wheels, good detail. Nice kits. Perry

Todays Japanese cars are too overwrought with the curves and such. I like simpler. Perry

Nice model. Those old Starter kits are a bit simple but look good. What a driver line up. Perry

Looks real nice. I know for me, I have problems when I rush things too. Especially paint. Perry

No need to chuck the body. Try stripping first. You can probably get it off, and start over. One thing, try light coats. Let it dry thoroughly between. Perry
