Recently traded with Modlbldr, aka Tom Kendall. I was happy with the deal and everything on my side went very smoothly! Thanks! Larry Court

Excellent work! The details and subtle changes are very well done!

Oh yeah, I really like that Biscayne! I would love to see a Bel Air/ Biscayne kit, besides the AMT '62. Anything from '59 to '69 would be great!

Went to the Airport Road store in Allentown, Pa. They did not have the Dodge pickup, but had the other stuff people are talking about. I got 3 of the '32 Fords. The other store by me, on Tilghman St. in Allentown, had all of the listed kits. I grabbed 2 more of the '32's. Passed on the other stuff because I already have 2 of the C5 Z06s, and probably would never build any of the others. I always liked the Monogram '32 roadster, a lot of good stuff in there and they build up nicely. I see these kits are all over Ebay already, making the shrewd prospectors millions! Many with the Ollie's price tag still on them!

That's really cool! Everything you did works perfectly!

The front axle and suspension are from the AMT '55 Nomad. I was going to use the front end from the Monogram '55 Chevy Street Machine, but it sat too high. I am not 100% crazy about the one I used, it could have had a little wider tracking, but it will do.

It is Tamiya rattle can paint and it has a few flaws, but they will be covered when I add lettering and sponsors, etc. I think when it is all lettered up, has foiled trim and the rest of the details I want to add, it will look good. It is just taking longer than I thought, lol!

Super nice job!?

Beautiful work! Your careful building took a basic kit to an extraordinary level!

The headers are scratch built, I used sprue from a Moebius '56 Chrysler and Evergreen tubing for the collectors. They still need some more clean up before paint. The first one wasn't hard to make, but it is very hard to make 2 that are close in shape so they exit about the same on both sides.. At least for me! Normally, I would use solder, but I wanted to see how this would go.

This is my current project, a lot done, but also a lot to do.

That's really cool!

Excellent work! Nice stance and colors!

Outstanding work! The added details and color choices are excellent. This is by far, the best build of this kit I have ever seen!

Nice job! You really captured the look of a TROG racer! The weathering is just right!

That's looking good with those wheels and tires. Looks like they are from the Lil Coffin? Stance is good too!

That's very Kool! Everything you have done works perfectly together!

I have said this a few times before in HPIGuy's defense, but once again, he is not, nor is he purporting to be, a master builder. His videos are not about that. There are a lot of other videos on YouTube specifically about building models, of all kinds, at incredible levels. He is giving you a "What's in the box" and a quick build so you can see it together and he can comment on how it goes together. I will give you that he is usually very "tactful" about saying something is bad, but he is also in the business of review and needs the companies on his side. I watch his videos and know by the end if I am buying or not. It's kind of like the hobby shop display models of old, only in a contemporary video format.?

The AMT '65 GTO has one, it has a blobular carb molded to it. Looks very similar, if not the same, as the one in the '65 Bonneville in the directions posted above.

That's because they kind of were... Cobras were not high tech, driving a 427 Cobra was brutal. Tremendous power in a package that barely can contain it. That was the whole point and why they are legendary today. The ex Monogram kit is older, not sure why it is being marketed as new, but a pretty nice and accurate model.

Certainly one of the finest car models I have seen......

Excellent work! Probably the best build I have seen of this kit!

Your builds and photography are outstanding!

Another stunning masterpiece! Your scratch built pieces are incredible!

Tremendous job on both models! The photography is topnotch also!
