Beautiful looking paint and trim. Your detail painting of the engine and chassis look great. Like the stance along with the wheel and tire combo.

Beautiful looking Olds. The color is very rich looking and smooth. The interior contrast works well. Like the extra detailing on the engine and interior. The underside is very realistic looking.

Beautiful looking '55. You nailed the look of the one pictured in the magazine. Cleanly detailed body trim and interior.

The finished build looks great. Like the interior detail and the color goes well with the body paint.

Beautiful looking body and paint work. The front-end changes along with the fenders give it a Barris looking type Kustom.

Great looking smooth Black paint job. Like the clean body trim and wheels.

I agree with others on your color choice. The interior color looks great with the body color. Clean body trim.

Another one to think about would be the Revelle '66 Impala SS kit as well. That one even has the air conditioning system present.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like the clean trim.

Those are for the bad guys that missed Sunday School.

If you're referring to a big block Chevrolet engine, a couple to consider would be any of the recent Revell kits with a big block Chevelles or Camaros. The AMT '70 Monte Carlo would be a possibility, but AMT has offered a few kits since then that may be a better choice. AMT had several Corvette kits that had nice big block engines as well.

I have noticed that several other companies advertising on TV that their products to do much the same thing as Lume. I can still afford a daily shower, so I think I'll stay with that myself.

Great looking paint work and interior. Like the side pipes.

Beautiful paint color and finish and goes well with the interior. Like the Kustom body touches.

As a long time subscriber to many of the Auto Enthusiasts magazines I also have become very disillusioned with the whole quarterly magazine issues for more money than before. As Rockford pointed out the many different tiles started going away, usually just after I had renewed my subscription. This past year I decided to not renew my Motor Trend subscription that I have had for more than 50 years since their main story line has been EV's and very little else. I'll keep Hot Rod for now, but they are on thin ice with me anyway. As for Car & Driver as well as Road & Track, their changing formats and coverage of mostly cars costing more than my home, 401k, and life insurance combined. I no longer find them relative to anyone in my station in life. I used to subscribe to Ol' Skool and they went BK right after I renewed my subscription as well. You might think that I'm the kiss of death to monthly publications, but I think it has mare to do with the organizations that are running these magazines. I'm still holding out with Hemmings as long as they keep sending me their Muscal Car and Collector Car publications. Their writers seem to present a far more compressive article about each car they present.

Still a great looking build when you do a paint job like this and a clean looking interior as well.

Great looking paint work and clean body trim. They should use a photo of your build for the box art.

Beautiful looking builds. Amazing how many different ways you can build a '32 Ford.

Rasing the bottom edge of the fenders and removing the running boards has in effect channeled the body. You had mentioned the '48 Ford as a comparison, as I'm sure you know what Ford had done on the '41 thru '48 models was to widen their body slightly and the bottom of the doors and body flared out slightly. What this did was conceal the running boards and they would only be seen when you opened the door. The headlight treatment and especially the grill really change the appearance of the front end for the better.

While my experience with resin bodies is limited, what I have noticed in the last couple of years is that the better and smoother castings seem to be made with some sort of white colored resin. The last one I did was a '67 Chevelle two door post and the bodies finish as purchased would rival most plastic kits of today.

He should have invested in a couple of cans of primer if he didn't want it to look like someone with a beer in the other hand was painting the car.

Great looking era color and finish. The body is nice and smooth, and the trim is all cleanly done.

Great looking box art style finish. To Ford's credit they advertised and promoted this Pinto option and sold a good number in the area I was living in at the time. Chevrolet on the other hand made little mention of the panel van version in the sales catalog and then couldn't figure out why they didn't sell.

I wish I could remember where I saw an article about a tire maker that was actually making a tire designed for what these people are doing with their Cambered vehicles. What it looked like the tire maker was doing was to make the sidewalls on the inside of the tire shorter than the outside of the tire. I have know ideas as to how this was accomplished production wise, but from the picture provided in the article they did have a larger contact patch on the tire with still having a raised outer edge of the tire. This also will pass in time.

Do you suppose he camps down by the river?
