Ooh, she's so pretty!

Is this a 1/35 scale or the little 1/72? Either way, you'd never know it was a sub-par kit from looking at the finished project; nicely done! I like fiddling with Emhar kits, (I have a few planes) they give you reasonably good proportions and enough details to keep things interesting. I consider them models for guys who like building (and scratch-building) models, and they offer subjects the big guys won't often tackle. Watch for sales and you get outstanding value for your modeling dollar.

unclescott58, those are some nice builds! I have one or two of those "little" AMT 283 kits in my stash, and I hope I can do as clean a build as you've done here. (not an easy task with all that clear styrene) Keep it up!

Disguise that tire mark the way the full size customizers handled paint problems back when... do a Watson-esque panel paint in a coordinated or contrasting color, matched on deck lid and top. Could be a simple fade-in, or lace panels are cool again!. Polish the rest.

There's no one-size-fits-all for vinyl top styles. Some cars used a single-seam design, some use a twin-seam style. References are invaluable. I'm liking your color combination, what can we expect for the interior?

We call those "fender flares". Good looking build, really like the blue color!

Nice start!

Love the Cragars on a Gremlin! That chassis looks like it was made for a completely different car, what is up with that odd angle to the rear frame; it should flatten to the the floor pan?!

Nice job; gotta love the Spit!

Nice job; that gray really works on that body!

Nice save!

Interesting project; will definitely be following. Are your 77 Thunderbird castings available for purchase? Really loved that one! I keep looking around here for a mention, but no go...

Wouldn't be the worst thing to happen to an Impala, with the right wheels and stance...

Ponchos were Carousel Red. Get Turned On!

Right!? Was there a sale on Hugger Orange? Not complaining, mind you, that really looks nice on the Nova; gives it a more muscular vibe!

VERY convincing carpet! Nicely done.

Must have!

Nice to see one of these NOT red! Great job!

Love it! Right on the money period-perfect.

That gray is especially classy looking on that bird!

That interior looks sharp!

You have the recent release, that omitted all the extras this kit is normally loaded with. The blue plastic is the give-away, would have had a blue car on the box as well. I accidentally got one myself; I say accidentally because if I had known Round 2 was omitting ALL the extras, I would have passed it by. Literally any other boxing of the kit has the extras!

Being a Pontiac and all, reckon he might have used Pontiac Blue-Silver Metallic, a color used on Pontiac engines? Its a very pretty, very silvery light blue.

Makes sense!

Diggin' this! Dad had a '73, metallic brown with off-white/parchment vinyl top and white interior. With a 455, it was easier on gas than any Impala he ever owned!
