  1. Great looking paint color and finish. Clean minimal body trim. Like how you did the seating surfaces, very original looking.
  2. I keep a small makeup jar my wife gave me from Clinique. Can't think of a better way to attach small lenses and trim.
  3. Maybe a big drop axle front end would work.
  4. Someone in my area has a 1:1 in the shade of blue you mentioned that you're thinking of paint your build. Let me say when I see it is always going the other way on a six-lane divided highway around here and it is very eye catching even going 75 mph in the other direction.
  5. Thats what I was thinking as well. The problem is that the longer they sit out like this the harder it will be to get a good body finish. I realize that many would just cover the body with a semi-flat clear and call it good, but some others would rather have them shinny and looking good.
  6. I would suggest a full body mockup on the frame before gluing anything together.
  7. This looks to be the top-of-the-line Limited trim. I recall a classmate whose parents bought a new '58 Buick with this same trim level. Theirs was a red convertible with red leather interior and a continental kit.
  8. Always wonder the how and why of a lot full of old trucks like this. Shame they are left to rot outside. Maybe some minor engine or drive train issue caused them to be parked since the bodies look intact.
  9. OW OW OW !
  10. Like how you raised the front suspension ride height.
  11. Sounds like the schools' administrative staff need to go back to school themselves.
  12. Great body design and creativity. Can remember the sound of the Good Humor Ice Cream trucks of the summer driving thru the neighborhood as a child.

    Beautiful paint color and finish. The body color and the interior color look great together. Didn't notice the fender gap issue until you mentioned it. Like the engine detailing.
  14. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The custom body work blends smoothly with the rest of the body. Like your changes to the instrument panel since that was an area that Chevrolet sort of stepped in it with their original design.
  15. Beautiful looking paint finish and chrome foil trim. I'm also a big fan of this kit and the subject. The engine has a great OEM look along with the chassis detailing.
  16. Like the smooth body work. Think about a color that will best show the body lines, something with little or no metallic to distract the eye.
  17. Great Kustom body work. The heavy metal flake looks at home on this.
  18. Beautiful paint finishes and color. Like the engine detailing.
  19. Great looking body conversion and paint work. Nice air ride detailing in the back.
  20. Beautiful paint finish and vinyl roof. The body proportions look perfect. Like the color choices and the interior.
  21. Beautiful paint and decal finishes.
  22. The notchback body style makes this an even rarer car than the usual fastback body styles.
  23. Beautiful looking finishes and color. The chrome trim is neatly done. Great looking interior picture, I'll have to try that. The engine and chassis detailing are very realistic looking. I agree with you on the assembly and fit of this kit and look forward to building another one as well.
