  1. With a single seat are you thinking a center steer setup?
  2. Like this shade of blue and the finish looks nice and smooth. Great stance and the wheel & tire combo look good as well.
  3. The color combination sounded a little strange at first, but the spoon proves just how good it looks.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  7. Beautiful looking paint and blacked out hood. The dish slot wheels are perfect for that era.
  8. 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.
  9. Great looking build. Looks just like the car on TV.
  10. Beautiful looking paint finish and the color looks luxurious against the interior color.
  11. 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.
  12. HI boys are cool.
  13. 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.
  14. Love the realistic engine finish on this.
  15. Going to have to get several of the Charger kits. The new Hiway Patrol version could be made into a more pedestrian Charger such as our GT AWD with none of the vents in the fenders and a flat hood.
  16. Amazing details. Takes a long time to study all that is going on in this build, time well spent.
  17. Start checking resin casters and 3D printing outfits. I did a couple of my old cars from resin casters in the past.
  18. Beautiful looking paint finish and the retro designs remind me of the van craze of long ago. The custom body work is even done like a few of the high end builds of the time. Like how you smoothed off the roof edges and drip rails.
  19. I have a shelf in my little basement workshop that I display a few of my former rides. They go back a little further than your own, but that doesn't change how much I enjoy looking at them.
  20. The reason for the example I used was that we ordered a new '86 Mont SS, in white with the dark red interior. Every option available except for the leaky T-Tops. Should never have sold it, but after 10 years and 100k miles and it was sitting in the garage more than being driven. The guy paid me what we had bought it for new, so cheap to own as well.
  21. I also liked the back story on the build. Makes the car it represents better understandable. The paint and body trim all look great. Like the stance and the wheel & tire combo. Can almost invasion the trailer flying in the air behind this Dodge Hemi.
  22. Great looking convertible, makes the interior easier to see just how nice it is. Nicely detailed engine and chassis.
  23. Great looking paint and trim. These were a very impressive luxury car in its day. The roof Landau Bars and the wheels look just like the real car.
  24. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Been wanting to try this type of paint but had been worried about how it would look.
