Very nice pair of models; what a nice display!

Cool thread, and looking forward to seeing one on that wrecker build, too! Dig these old kits!

Very nice job, and gotta agree: that color really works well on the big Merc.

How can you have a collection of model cars and not have at least one red '32 hot rod? This is just a beautiful standard for classic hot rods! Very clean and tasteful build, love it!

Wow! I'm not a fan of most pale blues, but that color on that car with that interior just works SO well! Well done, very well done!

Nice collection. I really like the unusual color scheme you put on the Dodge, especially the darker shade of green; really beautiful. I have to say, though, for me your 64 Mercury takes "Best In Show". Is that the AMT Marauder kit?

Glad to hear it! I have one of these kits, and was thinking I might need to watch that area for fit issues; glad it was a false alarm. Poor fitting hoods are a constant pain it seems! ( AMT '70 Monte Carlo, '71 Charger, etc.) Hope my T-bird comes out nearly so realistic, and I hope I didn't sound too critical; was mostly just curious.

The frontal view above, it looks like the hood doesn't settle all the way down at the front.

Very cool!

A very personalized look to it, there's a lot I dig about it; very creative approach.

Nicely done; looks very realistic. Is something under the hood holding the hood up, or is there some warpage?

Very attractive color choice. Love these bodies!

VERY informative and clearly presented. Well done. Thank you.

Once, I noticed that when I let some 2k primer dry in a paint strainer, it filled the small voids and looked very much like scale rattan.

Love that color! Nice build, very well done.

A nice custom! Love the colors.

Ditto. One more vote for the silver base. In fact, if it were mine I'd be tempted to leave the top in silver.

Off to a good start. Make it good enough to cast copies!

Nice work on the grille, that will go a long way on selling the realism.

Do you have one of the kits molded in white? If so, you might just mask it off, spray your blue, chrome foil the trim and let the white shine. Otherwise, same procedure but paint the white first, dry thoroughly, mask off and spray blue. Mask generously, that is, maybe let your tape ride up on the chrome a bit to get complete coverage. You will have a small tape edge on the chrome to knock down before foiling, but you won't be fighting precise masking the inside corner, so to speak, where the white meets the chrome. My 2-cents...

C-cabs and T-buckets? Bet there's an Ed Roth or Tom Daniel kit or two in your stash! Welcome back to the fold; looking forward to seeing some builds...

Fit issues probably down to the age of the mold. That kit has been around awhile, and is a popular kit to boot, so plenty of use and re-use. Still must feel odd, knowing it's a Tamiya!

Very realistic appearance, love the color scheme; another all-around winner for you!

Almost a shame to waste that chassis on the Ala Cart! It's a neat custom, but a bit over rated IMHO. However, I love what you're doing here, and there's something to learn from any build of this quality, regardless of subject matter.

Very nice color choice, and on these old uni-body Chryslers, should also be that color in the engine compartment, all over. Off to a good start!
