  1. Super clean build, and you've nailed the ivory color. -MJS
  2. Great juxtaposition of classic and contemporary styles, and who doesn't love a clean flame job. Great Deuce all around. -MJS
  3. Cute car, Jonathan. clean, and love the color. -MJS
  4. Wow. I saw that movie when it was released in the theater, I took my girlfriend. She hated it, it was "Too violent and stuff". I thought it was great, except for the hammy final scene. Amazingly, I never realized that the Corvette had Ecklers style front flares, but no rear flares, and I forgot about the C4 rear clip blended in. This model looks great and sits right, one of the better movie cars I've seen in scale. Excellent job. -MJS
  5. Great work! Very tasteful!
  6. Very nice work. Ages ago, I built the metal body version of this kit. -MJS
  7. Very nice build, and a nice color combo not often seen on a '57.
  8. Hey Roger, any follow up on that Valspar? I just found out what everyone else did, this stuff is practically nonexistent, unless you want to pay way too much/can and wait for shipping. I need an available alternative. -Mike
  9. Thanks John. The Master Caster stopped by to drop off the resin glass buck for the hatch glass, and informed me that the current coupe mold finally broke; so a new one will have to be made to fill out the remaining coupe orders. After five molds, this thing is roached. A full tune-up will have to be done before it can be molded again, so I'll get it done by next week. Between this and the hatch master, I've got poor Greg counting Foxes in his sleep. -MJS
  10. A great name for it would be ReCharged in wavy '60s style lettering on the sides. -MJS
  11. A phantom '40 Sportsman convertible! Glorious! Sir, I think you'll do well here. -MJS
  12. Ron, that's one of the nicest Rockford Firebirds I've seen. I can picture it doing a reverse J-turn with a '75 Monte Carlo chasing it. -MJS
  13. OK, where were we? I had two windshields, both glue burned and one cracked. I smoothed the best one, and vacuformed a replacement: I took the least glue-bombed interior, sanded some damage smooth, and used it along with Monogram Fox Mustang Recaros from the parts box, and a rally console with thermos bottles from an AMT '64 Falcon. Painted it all up this afternoon with Testors spray bombs. The colors are Some Kind Of Blue and Some Kind Of Pewter. I didn't want to use the same colors as the exterior. The dash was masked and the faces shot with Tamiya semigloss black. Looking for a decal sheet from the new issue kit for the gauge faces. Further detailing will be basic, but it will have navy blue flocking and a CB radio. -MJS
  14. Thanks Jeremiah. Did they happen to have the blue/white two tone? -Mike
  15. Beautiful rendering. Who knew the GL kit had such decent detail waiting to be exploited?
  16. Great job. The car, originally all black, was used in Corvette Summer. -MJS
  17. I used to have a '61 Sedan Delivery. Not the easiest cars to drive, but sooo cool. -MJS
  18. Not to be out done, his brother Bob immediately set to work on his Mustang.
  19. I wish I could find one of those for 30 bucks, the cheapest I've seen them listed for is around $50.
  20. I just got a set. To be honest, I've seen better. Many lines through the artwork, with sawtooth edges. They look better in the auction on the monitor. -MJS
  21. I've never had problems with the chrome, even on a ten year old sheet. I did have a sheet of gold lose it's sticky after about four years, however.
  22. Hard to beat the '58 Bonneville for bright and sassy without going off the deep end. '60-'61 Comet. Space age on a budget. I may be a bit biased on this one. -MJS
  23. Scott, Time for my semi-annual nagging. How's that stock Futura body coming along?
