  1. Built on of these when they were first released. I removed the trunk handle and sort of shaved the trim off the trunk. These were done in a good grade of black plastic. I used some automotive rubbing compound on the areas that I had sanded. When finished the work I had done could not be seen. Consider polishing the body and then decide if you want to paint it.
  2. An old favorite kit and still has good detail considering its age. Some nice Flat Head speed parts if that engine is a consideration.
  3. The interior color and finish are a nice compliment to the paint. Like those wheels.
  4. If I had a dog that looked this bad, I'd train it to walk backward and shave its bottom. Nice paint work anyway.
  5. Great looking paint color and finish. Like the stance and the way you detailed the engine.
  6. IE: Building inspection and The County Tax people in general. Had a similar experience with the county building inspector. Replacing the deck on a new home at about 5 years in. The bottom steps of the original deck only rested on the concrete landing on one side and the other was in the breeze. Wonder how they missed that one when it was a new build. Talked to the county and was told that if I replaced it without increasing the size it was all good and no permit was required. Well, he lied. Went back and forth with these brain surgeons for a couple of months before I had to get an attorney to explain to them what they had said and failed to do originally. The next year I'm building raised planting beds around the foundation of the home. The beds ranged in height from two courses of concrete blocks up to four in some places on the sides as the home had a walkout type basement that made it like a two-story structure on the back side. I'm down on my hands and knees setting and shaping the edges on the blocks and notice a car that I had never seen before cruising around the neighborhood. Started noticing him stop and looking at our house and even taking pictures. I approached the car, and he drives off. Next thing we get a notice that our property taxes are going up because of our flower beds and yard plantings. Had to have a sit down with the County Tax Assessor to get them to stop.
  7. Beautiful looking builds. Looking at them now I recognize several that I had followed the build on.
  8. Beautiful looking paint finishes and clean detailing.
  9. All beautifully done. The '32 sedan really hits my hot button.
  10. Great creative body styles and the different paint treatments look great.
  11. Beautiful looking paint work and colors depending on the build. Lots of great interior and engine detailing.
  12. Beautiful looking paint finishes and clean details. Like the wide verity of subjects.
  13. Beautiful looking paint work and detail body trim.
  14. Great looking Fords. Like the '40 Delivery.
  15. Great looking builds. Looks like you have plenty of interesting builds awaiting on the shelves.
  16. Great looking Trans Am. Reminds me of a model Pontiac offered called the "Blue Bird" based on the blue interior and most had a light blue exterior but white was available. Like how the T-Tops fit.
  17. Beautiful looking race cars and classics.
  18. Great looking paint work and finishes. Clean body trim and like the stance on all of them.
  19. Many great looking builds. Like the '58 Ranchero, resin?
  20. Beautiful looking finishes. Like the wide variety of build subjects. The pickups are always a fun build.
  21. Beautiful looking paint finishes and colors. Great detailing of the engines and interiors.
  22. Great range of different build styles, but all finished to a very high level.
  23. I like the attention to detail on this build, a shame some of it will be so hard to see on the interior when completed. I'm seeing some great ideas to use in future builds for myself.
  24. Great looking floor pan and front suspension. Something I have wondered about this kit and others based on the same floor pan. The front brake drums look as if they are mounted backwards. I know this is the way the instructions show them, but mounting face to the wheels should be turned around based on appearance. Did the instructions show mounting the battery in the passenger foot well or did you want it there? The stock Type 1 would have had the battery under the back seat on the passenger side.
  25. The body color and finish look great. Like how you did the interior color and finish. The custom mods to the grill and side trim are tastefully done.
