  1. Great looking paint finish and color, reminds me of one of the colors they offered at that time. Clean looking body trim.
  2. I have been told that I can find the fly droppings in the pepper, but that employer and I never saw things the same way anyhow.
  3. Besides a stock build I would think low ridder builders would like this body style just like they enjoy the Monte Carlo.
  4. Beautiful looking color and finish. Like the stance. Most truck owners put the aftermarket air cleaners on their trucks anyway so it's in keeping with the lowered street truck look.

    1966 VW bug

    Like the original looking finish and trim. Very cleanly detailed trim and colors.
  6. Beautiful looking Cobra. Like the color and finish. Was the partial interior cover in the kit or something you made?
  7. Beautiful looking paint color combo with the white interior. Like the engine detailing.
  8. Great looking build and paint work.
  9. Great looking paint and body trim. The engine detailing is well done and like the painted steel wheels.
  10. Great looking color and finish. Like the covered rear seat option.
  11. Like the different take on the S & H Torino. Great looking colors on the body and vinyl roof.
  12. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. I also share your appreciation for the '40's. Like the stance and the wheels and tires look great here.
  13. Great looking build and the unusual body style makes it all the better. Clean body trim and engine. The color combination with the interior and exterior work well together.
  14. Great looking paint color and finish. The added custom parts enhance the overall look of the body.
  15. Great looking engine and rolling stock. I think Ford could only use mechanics with skinny hands to work on the 1:1. Are you going to remove the "TMGM" lettering from the chassis?
  16. A lot of great information in addition to many personal experiences. To share an experience when I was very young, my father took me to the Chicago Auto Show for all the new cars for the year 1953. First off, I can't recall why my father who wasn't much of a car guy thinking of them more as an appliance than anything else would have wanted to go there in the first place. We were a "Ford family" having gotten one of the first 1949 Fords when they came out. He got me a metal promo of a 1953 Ford with a bank built into the bottom. The promo was approximately 1/24th scale and was one of my prized possessions as a child.
  17. You just can't fix stupid. To many people don't even know how to properly drive an automobile let alone try and figure out what may or may not be wrong. Perhaps they should take up brain surgery as a new hobby.
  18. Really like the way you changed the front grill area on the body. Looks like something Pontiac would have done. The paint color is a real attention getter. Like how the Boat is done to match.
  19. Beautiful looking paint finish and the color is a personal favorite for the '56 & '57 Chevys. Cleanly done body trim and the interior looks very OEM.
  20. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Well worth the due over. Cleanly detailed engine and chassis. Great stans.
  21. Like the body paint details.
  22. Great looking Mustangs. The Capri had a different rear window/hatch that I think looked more interesting than the Mustangs, but it is only my opinion.
  23. As Brian mentioned the metal axels can be a pain to work around when altering the suspension. I would suggest not using the metal axels at all. Depending on the wheels that you are using find a material of the proper diameter to fit into the wheel backs. In the past I have found that using everything from shortened kit's metal axels to using small metal brads that you can buy at Home Depot. There are other sources of course and these are just two maybes.
  24. Amazing engine and under hood detailing.
  25. Great looking used and abused finish.
