You realize that it's intentionally disguised so you can't see the actual design, right?

See post #12...

It might be too late for the taillights. That work would have much easier to do while they were still loose, and you could lay them on your work surface. Then you could have used foil, or even a fine-tipped silver sharpie to add the chrome details. Now that they're installed on the model, it would be very difficult to add that detail at this point. Probably best to let it go. And just to add on to Brett's comments... the stripes should end at the bottom of the spoiler, and not extend down any further. A small detail for sure, but like Brett said... if it's detail you're after... BTW, keep this in mind for next time: Before you start on your next model, always do a google image search. That's where I found the pix I posted. It's fast, it's free, and you will find tons of great photos that will help you get all the details right. I never start a model until I have collected a folder full of reference images.

Very impressive work!

That was a big mistake, all right! That's less than they cost new in 1968!

Gotta love Jay!

Remember... if you know the answer (you know the origin of the photo), don't say anything here! The answer: Real!

Nice detail work on the interior!

If you want to add more detail, you could add the chrome on the taillights and paint the backup lens a silvery white, and add the bumper rub strips with flat black, or even thin strips of electrical tape.

Polished trim ring, polished center cap, dull silver in between...and fill in the "holes" with flat black. Unless you actually want to drill them out, which I don't think you do.

This is the look we really wanted back when I was a kid. Only one kid in the neighborhood had one like this and we were all jealous! Hmmm... I don't remember the neighborhood girls looking like that when I was a kid...

I shop at Walmart all the time, and have no problem reading.

And just exactly how do you suggest he replicate the tulipwood bodywork and the thousands of flush-head marine screws if he uses that kit as a starting point?

Apparently so.

oh, ok...

No RIPs for Elaine Stritch?

That's very cool. I especially like it with the top up. Not a fan of that "furry" interior, though...

That's cool. But you forgot to paint the rear side marker lights.

The rat rod look is not for everyone. If you don't understand it, don't worry about it. We can't all like the same thing! PS: I like it!

As Jonathan posted above, there is already an existing 91 page thread on this topic. I don't think we need another one.

Ok... I've been thinking about this. I think this thread needs to be locked. Not that anyone said anything out of line. In fact I think we covered this topic pretty well and pretty even-handedly... no blow-ups or flame throwing. But I think this subject has pretty much run its course. If anyone wants to continue the debate with anyone else, do it via PM.

Are there any particularly rare ones that bring big bucks today?

Right. And those are the people I jokingly call the "PC Police" (Andy, per your previous post, I know there aren't literally PC Police out there... ). But those are the people who are convinced that their way of thinking is the correct way, and anyone who thinks otherwise must be forced to change their way of thinking to coincide with the "approved" or "politically correct" way of thinking and/or expressing themselves.
