  1. I like this...and I don't even know the real TV car.
  2. That's as sweet as I've seen in a long time....
  3. Nice job on one of my favorites! I've probably had 30 of theses things since the late '60's.
  4. Sorry if this is the wrong Forum to ask this. Couldn't find one that was relevant. Is the AMT kit, and the "Nostalgia Art" MPC kit the same? Reason, I had the AMT kit in both stock and Pro Street. Builds kinda' "fizzled". Lost /Pirated many of the parts over the years. Don't build many MOPARS, but I remember seeing a few real ones here in "Bama. I would like to build it stock, but the stock AMT kit seems elusive, while the MPC kit is common. Thanks!
  5. Hey! I'm Loving it.... Often thought about building the Revell Beetle...but 1/25 was my game. After seeing yours...I am inspired.....
  6. I've always used it after . Can it be sprayed with Gloss?
  7. Great build. Great subject matter...I love these old "factory" racers, and you nailed it!
  8. Kool builds Man! I had wondered what that bug kit would build like. I have started to get it several times. I have 3 or 4 of Wild Willies kits to build off of. I'l pic one up after seeing yours. Great looking models...
  9. Great!
  10. Love it. I've built this kit several times. Always FUN!
  11. Looks "right" to me. Built about 5 of these kits...Love 'em.
  12. Looks right...
  13. I like it!!!
  14. Looks about right...
  15. Yeah, that was my thinking. $$$$ = "Whatever BM you wanted".
  16. Polish the paint. If that works, then BMF the chrome. Ad the 427 decals on the fender emblems. And lots more. Get a "stance" on the rear . Man! I may quit...again, on this one.
  17. Yeah, I know, Baldwin Motion never did a '67 Impala. However, as a kid in the late '60's - early '70's I was captured by the Baldwin Motion ads in my Dads Hot Rod Magazines. Then, in 1974 I purchased my Uncles '67 SS. It was a small block, Powerglide version. First thing I did was to it was headers and a set of used Torque Thrust with Uniroyal Tiger Paws. When AMT came out with this new tooled kit in 1997 I was blown away. The box art car was EXACTLY the same as my SS. Same color. Same interior. LESS the 427 and hood. I went out and bought 4. Thus started the longest build in modeling history! I mocked up the 427, with a slightly "used" look, and a parts box intake and Holley in 1998. The hood was built in 2000. Then, other things got in the way. Several moves for my job, where the Impala became lost in the packing. Then I started building 1/48 aircraft and selling them on Ebay, and eventually building solely for clients. Found the Impala again in 2005 .Did the suspension. Then back into a coma it went. Found it AGAIN several years ago and "rattle canned" the paint. Then in 2016 I built the interior, and gathered up parts to finish it the way I dreamed a Baldwin Motion would have looked. Wheels from the Revell '62 Corvette gasser. Tri carbs from and old 'vette kit, and the EXCELLENT M.T .tires from Joseph Osborns "Fireball Modelworks". I am slowly working toward FINISHING this thing. If the paint doesn't polish out I have another body. I won't cop out on the painting this time. I'll airbrush. Haven't figured out the graphics yet. And, there will be NO cheesy side pipes. Critique welcome.
  18. Nice work . This should be interesting...
  19. Wow! This one went "South" quick... Think I'll hold off on posting my "NASCAR" AMC Pacer pics...LOL!!!
  20. You had me...'till the Dodge drop in...
