It does look sharp with those wheels/tires, but the original seem to have a lot of fine detail cast in. I can't help but think they would paint up pretty decent.
That turned out really nice. Very tasteful and understated color scheme, and my hat's off to you for getting rid of the T-tops and spoiler. Very attractive model.
Good save! Love that Caddy windshield; it works perfectly here. The swoopy lines give this model that sense of motion even sitting still. Paint is period-perfect for a classic kustom! Well done.
Yep, always interesting to see the more common, less dressy body styles. 66 is a handsome car, and I really like your choice of color. My first car was a Biscayne, too! ('63 for me; 283,powerglide)
Thanks for that informative response. The metal-like finish of those look as convincing as any acrylic base paint I've seen, and better than most. Very impressive!
Looking GOOD! I love a red car, but I'm STILL surprised at just how good that Olds body looks in red, and it looks like you have the stance dialed in. Can't wait to see that one done!
I think she's on to something there! That color should make the pinto a standout, silver stripes doesn't sound bad either. Do a spoon test, show us (and yourself) how it'll look!
Those wires and wide whites look sweeet on that car. I picked up one of those bodies years ago in Louisville; love those fins! Are those wheels from the AMT Riviera kit?
Very sharp; just screams race car! The stance is right on, just aggressive enough, and the color scheme is awesome; I can just smell the racing fuel when I look at this model. You've captured the essence of a drag racer perfectly. Nicely done.
There was an infamous lawsuit, won by Ford, against one of the news networks for falsely exaggerating the risk of fire. The news people could NOT get one to explode for the cameras, so they actually rigged one to get the effect they wanted, and they got busted HARD for it.
