Modelbuilder Mark

Looking good! I see you are already trying to flip it. :-)

So very nice!

Very nice, clearly lot of work there.

May be mislabeled. I think Victoria is simply the 2 door convertible, but I think it was later years. There is some good info here. http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/Packard/1930.html

I completely respect this attitude, and agree that your process certainly could let others see themselves building which is a great thing. Plus, for those of us that want to see, or recall, what is in the box, that is great as well. There are times I get frustrated with myself in the getting mired down part of things. As for the high end Cuda cost, growing up my father owned the body shop in the back of a Chrysler dealership. My older brother had both a Cuda, and a Charger in the 70s that my father had really decked out for him, and he...totaled them both.

Toyota has one, called the Mirai, sold in CA to the general public. It is a test market. In MY opinion, its looks hold it back

agreed, skip the electrics

Congrats on the growth of your channel BTW. As I was watching one of your videos the other day, I was wondering how you managed to get so many done, but I assume you were retired. I also assumed that that since you are building them as demos, you must be leaving some steps out that I cannot seem to let go on the older AMT kits. I spend hours and hours of time on seam removal, injector mark repairs, part alignment/fit etc. However, just to have some of these older make and model options, it is worth the effort, and in the end they look really good when completed. While I was not building in model infancy, I have been building since the mid 70s, and so many of the reissues, STILL appeal to me as I either missed them, or have more interest in them now. I do not buy models just to have a stash either. I buy what I can either actually see myself building, OR, something that I can part out, such as the Polyglass Pontiac recently at HL. I already had that Pontiac kit from previous isues, but did not realize it had all the extra wheels/tires until your video, so I went out and bought up 5 more I think when they hit clearance.

Wow, Hat's off to you for even tackling this project. Ready to follow along.

Nice rendition of one of my favorite Deuces. Looking really good!

Glad to see you got back to it. I seem to recall you posting the fender cutouts.

really cool.

Sharp!

Nice mods, and good tire choice.

hmmm, 289 or 427?

Kewl Kruiser!

Looking good so far!

My condolences to you and his family. It is tough to lose a friend or family member.

Nice!

(sitting forward in chair, rubbing hands together in anticipation) alrighty then, one to finally build, and not just a die-cast... I have watched the show for years, and while not a huge fan of 4 door cars, it is such an iconic car and so heavily tied to the show, I am surprised it has taken anyone this long to get around to it. The show is nearly run its course. To be honest, I think there are MANY movie/TV show tie ins that the model companies may have missed the boat on, that would potentially gain new builders.

Congrats on getting this one done! When you look at that 2010 start date, it certainly qualifies as a long term project!

WHoa there , my HL did not have the paint or the cases. Looks like I will be hitting a couple more stores tomorrow.

very nice

Very cool Tim! I have several that would fit nicely into this category as well. Cruise on!
