  1. Beautiful looking paint colors and finish. The body work looks really smooth. Like the details in the bed.
  2. Great looking finish on the body. Looks like it has spent to many summers at the oceans edge. Like the engine and wheel upgrades. The shinny wagon looks great as well.
  3. Looking at the details of the engine, fit and finish of the body and paint, it is hard to realize this is a model and not a real car. The background used in the photos also add to this appearance.
  4. Beautiful looking build. Like so many others I also followed your WIP. Having owned two different '57 Fords years ago I appreciate how you strived to be as accurate as possible to the original. Many mis doing the two tone correctly as you have. The paint colors look just like the OEM paint combination. The trim details look spot on.
  5. I think the old AMT '57 Ford hardtop kit had an option of a tilt steering column to go with the custom interior option.
  6. Hope someone will have some pictures to share.
  7. Hope someone will have some pictures to share with those that can't attend.
  8. I might have an interest in the Valiants. Could you show some more closeups of the wagons and the sedan?
  9. Both beautiful looking pickups. The paint looks very smooth, and the lack of unnecessary trim cleans up the overall look of the body. Great stance and wheel & tire combos.
  10. Beautiful looking paint finish and the decals are all looking good. The Coke Machine on the flat bed looks great along with the diamond tread bed floor. Like how just lightly warmed up the Flat Head and all the chassis detailing.
  11. Very aggressive looking build. The engine is well detailed and looks great. All the right looking components for a street rod.
  12. You know, regular cheap laundry bleach will remove chrome plating from plastic really fast and clean. Be sure to use rubber gloves when you're fishing out the part for final cleanup.
  13. With a single seat are you thinking a center steer setup?
  14. Like this shade of blue and the finish looks nice and smooth. Great stance and the wheel & tire combo look good as well.
  15. The color combination sounded a little strange at first, but the spoon proves just how good it looks.
  16. When Royal Pontiac in the Detroit area offered a tuner type tweaks option that they did in house and called it the "Royal Bobcat". Some may consider this example as being over restored, I just wish it was in my garage. For anyone into Pontiacs, before the GTO models came out this was about as good as it got, except for maybe one of the "Swiss Cheese" models.
  17. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Great engine detailing. Like the wheels and the stance.

    Great looking paint color just says MoPar. Like the Hemi engine detailing.
  19. Beautiful looking paint and blacked out hood. The dish slot wheels are perfect for that era.
  20. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like how you added all of the Cadillac emblems. The convertible top looks very realistic in the up position.
  21. Great looking build. Looks just like the car on TV.
  22. Beautiful looking paint finish and the color looks luxurious against the interior color.
  23. If Rats are anything like Field Mice, they tend to have a bunch of dead grass and weeds built up in such a way that they can crawl inside to stay warm. Don't ask how I know this. They will even try and build a nest in a back yard Bar B Q. Disgusting find when you go out to fix some nice steaks for dinner.
  24. HI boys are cool.
  25. The California Hiway Patrol used some Oldsmobile's in '66 and '67. They were the base 88 4 - doors with the 425 cu in engine. A wise person would think twice before seeing if they could outrun them.
