WOW! I dig fins. I dig cars with fins. I'm diggin' this car SO much! I gots to find me one of these (or two?)! Ditto Steven's 61. Beautiful build. I want to use those taillights on a dozen different customs. Very inspirational, thanks for sharing. More fins! I'll bet there's a spike in Ebay's search for this kit tomorrow! I'll be there. I think I'm gonna stay up all night putting cardboard fins on my Escort...

DANG! Fan-flippin-tastic! Looks a lot like my stash; nothing crazy valuable, but cars I really like. How many of those Impalas and 442s do you want to sell for SIX bucks each?!

Hope so; LOVE that body style!

Really nice build, and while the overall car is gorgeous, there are details here that are just spectacular on closer look! One that stands out to me is the steering wheel; it just looks scale perfect, and too often that is a weak area in otherwise nice builds. Clunky, over-sized, thick wheels are a peeve of mine. Close up photos are painfully honest sometimes, but yours just drive home the potential that can be unleashed from these older kits. Bravo!

More please

White interior is nice, but a little stark for my taste. How about a body-color insert on the dash, or maybe simply add dark blue carpets? I dig it overall!! Keep up the good work!

I see it now! OK, maybe dirty it up a bit - it's unusually clean!

Have you tried The Wayback Machine?

Really fun build to watch! I agree with you about building the kit if it interests you, and fixing the flaws as you see fit. I've built this kit before a couple of times, as well as its 57 and 56 hardtop stablemates, and the 57 Nomad also from Monogram. With a little planning and scratch-building, they can make very nice display models. Yours is progressing beautifully!!

Very tasteful color combination on the interior! Just a heads-up on your next build - the cooling fan should not sit so far into the shroud; about half the fan blade should be visible as seen from above. looks like the fan spacer is too tall, and maybe unnecessary in this case!

Very nice weathering, but a detail catches my eye and bugs me. You have the rear windshield glass removed, but the chrome in place; it would have been removed to allow removal of the glass, and not likely snapped back into place!

Beautiful color, very unexpected on a Ferrari! Good work!

Absolutely stunning handling of the foil work; BRAVO! Cool color choice.

Go, man, GO!

Interior is outstanding! Is that regular flocking for the carpet? It looks more realistic here for some reason. Care to divulge your secret?

Wow. Color choices are SO much a reflection of personal tastes. Most any color can look good to someone! What do YOU like? This car is all YOU! Don't be afraid of color, go with your gut and don't worry what others choose. That being said, these boxier body styles do two-tone nicely...

Have you considered flipping one of those tonneau covers around, modified as needed, to create a dash that would mirror the back view, thus creating a wraparound/ cockpit environment. I'd also put a generous radius on the doors' lower corners - lots of swoopy lines here now! Just spitballin' here; thinking out loud with a keyboard! This is looking so cool so far.

Have to agree with all the others on this color choice; VERY nice!

Oh, more on topic, about any of the cars from "Bewitched" over its run could be cool.I know Darren drove a convertible, either Camaro or Chevelle, and I believe Larry Tate drove an Impala convertible.

"My sister and I get each other prank presents. One year she gave me a pair of Barbie size man dolls that she got at the Dollar Store. One was white, the other black... but they had faces like mean felons. Little kids would be afraid of these dolls. We couldn't stop laughing. Figure that this was some Chinese designer's idea of what Americans looked like." Sounds hilarious - my friends and I enjoy browsing places like that for the misfit toys! C'mon - pictures, man!!

Nice score! You're gonna like 'em!

For me, the Lindberg 48 Lincoln gave me the biggest attack of WTF-itis. I picked one up at my LHS based on the photo of the actual car on the box, and the fact that Lindberg had been cranking out some nice kits at this time ( mid-late 90s; think 61 Impala,53 Ford, 67 442 Olds, etc) I had no idea this wasn't a newly tooled kit! Turns out it was an old Pyro or some such; just awful and such a let-down. I still have it in my collection (unbuilt), and every now and then I take it out to look it over, thinking "maybe I was too hard on it, and should give it another careful, more objective analysis, then maybe" ...NOPE, STILL SUCKS, and back in the box it goes. Dang you Lindberg box and your REAL car photo!!!

Good luck with this! I have a soft spot for Imperials, and am myself a fan of the faux spare tire cover, as it just seems to be a part of the Imperial image. This is YOUR car, so build it your way! I'm currently bogged down in an Imperial project- the Model King release of the '59 that I'm converting to a 4-door hardtop LeBaron. ( In the midst of moving, so it's on hold for now.) I'll be watching your build closely; I gotta get me one of those body-styles, where did you find it?

Love this show, hope to make it this year!
