  1. Reminds me of a '67 Chevrolet Impala SS dash.
  2. Last night was the first of the season Friday Night Concert and Food Truck gathering at a local winery. Often someone will show up with a nice older vehicle and gets a front and center parking spot near the seating area. Last night we had a '56 Ford T-Bird in black on black with chrome wire wheels with a new Corvette backed up behind it. Later the T-Bird was gone and replaced by a cherry mid '70's C-10 short bed in white. Great music, food, people and some wine as the sun went down. A lot to be said for living on the edge of the prairie.
  3. Great looking paint finish and color. Clean body trim. Like the wheels.
  4. AT&T and their Email service. I can't express my frustration with their service here without getting this locked, but. Every time they have an update for our internet service, they no longer will recognize my password to get into my Email account. My wife is able to correct it with her past background working for Reynolds & Reynolds installing commercial systems in the past. Gets a little embarrassing having to have her jack with it almost every other day.
  5. Used to live by a small body of water that would freeze over often during the winter. Canadian Geese, I curse the birds but not the country, would hang out all winter and destroy our yards eating what grass was not covered with snow and defiling the countryside with their droppings. I would enjoy watching an occasional Bald Eagle dinning on a Gose dinner on the ice sometimes.
  6. Great looking build. Like the way you finished the bed, tires and other parts to represent a vehicle that is in use.
  7. Maybe this could be Robin's driver?
  8. Thanks for the pictures. To try and answer your question of what year was the photo with the cobblestone street in it. I noticed two '55-year model taxi's going away from the camara the closest one being a Plymouth and the one in front of it is a Ford. The little car at the curb facing the camara looks like it could be a Hillmen Minx.
  9. As nice as the GMC is the '54 Olds makes my heart go pity pat.
  10. Beautiful looking paint finishes and colors. Interior looks great.
  11. Great looking 1955 paint colors and finish. Clean chrome trim and emblems. Realistic looking interior colors.
  12. Look'n good.
  13. Beautiful looking paint finishes. Like the pictures of the chassis.
  14. Beautiful paint finish and like the color combination. The chrome body trim on the hood and trunk are all cleanly done. Like the stance along with the wheel & tire combination.

    '86 Monte Carlo SS

    Great looking paint color and finish. Like the SS style stripes better than the "circus stripes" that Chevrolet used. The Tuned Port Injection would have been a better factory option as well.
  16. Great looking paint treatment and finishes. Like the way you finished the chassis and engine. I agree with you about this kit, and I built one in black a couple of years ago.
  17. Beautiful looking body conversion and paint finishes.
  18. Excellent finishes and fine detailing. One needs to review your build pictures to appreciate what all went into this build.
  19. Looks much better than "great". Looking back and forth between the pictures of the real car and your model the finish on the wheels is the only thing that you might notice. The body color and finish along with the vinyl roof and white accent paint look to be done the same.
  20. Great looking parts fabrication and detailing throughout.
  21. Have you tried Dawn Dish Soap? This product is often used to remove crude oil residue from waterfowl without hurting the bird but dissolves the oil. Might also contact the caster of any resin bodies or parts you are using to see what they recommend as some cleaning products can and will damage curtain types of resin parts and they should know what would work the best for cleaning their castings.
  22. I have fought this same battle more than once myself. A suggestion for when you sit down with your realtor, maybe offer a price concision if they can find someone with an affiliation with the Hells Angels to buy your home.
  23. Beautiful paint finishes on both the pick-up and the boat. Like how you detailed the boat interior and engine. Wish we had more of these we could build. The pickup chassis detailing and engine look great as well.
  24. Love the crusty finish on the body and the vintage speed equipment on the Flathead.
  25. Like the paint finish. These were known for their metal flake finishes and your paint job looks very realistic to that appearance. Very nice interior and would hate to get any sand on it.
