  1. The Demon and the Ford trucks are must haves. The old AMT redo's, I'll wait to see how much has improved from the original AMT issues.
  2. Just like putting a YouTube post on hold. Very realistic looking details.
  3. I agree with everyone else on the weathering treatment, very realistic looking. Like the engine and the stance.
  4. Like the concept, and I think it could be done. The outside appearance and paint work look great. Almost a shame to hide the engine, but that is how it would be done in 1:1 I guise.
  5. Great looking paint finish and interior. Like the detailed engine.
  6. Beautiful looking finishes and like the wood grain finish. Great looking engine and chassis.
  7. Great looking Chevelle build. Your treatment on the hub cap detailing looks very realistic. When these were pretty new cars, I had one come in for a basic service. The guy I worked for wanted to use an impact air gun to remove the wheels so we could rotate the tires. I made $5 betting him they were hub caps. He almost didn't believe me until I made him hold off so I could show him how to remove the hub caps. They were pretty convincing looking at the time. Nice paint finish and the wood steering wheel looks good.
  8. Beautiful looking paint finishes on the body as well as the chassis and engine. Like the color combination.
  9. Great job on reshaping the window openings. This has been a sticking point on an otherwise nice kit. I widened the window moldings slightly on a couple to try and compensate on the ones I built.
  10. I agree with Slusher on the paint finish. Looks like it already has been polished.
  11. The same can be said for many of the electronic nannies in our new cars of today. So many electronic controls and sensors to compensate for the bad drivers.
  12. One thing to remember, and it is always hard to realize with our scale models sometimes, the '65 & '66 - model year cars were somewhat smaller vehicles overall than the '67 & '68 - year model cars.
  13. Would love to have a 1:1 truck just like this. Beautiful paint finish and color. Cleanly detailed engine and chassis.
  14. Amazing attention to details. All of the body work and the engine, and interior detailing is very realistic looking.
  15. Great looking finish on the body. The chassis seems to fit just fine, and the stance looks perfect.
  16. Beautiful looking paint finish and body chrome and trim details. Like how the interior is done and the wheels & tires.
  17. Like the hood. The rear portion of the roof the angle going toward the front looks as if the rear part is pointed downhill in the picture anyway.
  18. Like the color combination. What color are you going to have on the interior?
  19. I can send you a couple more if needed. Just send me a PM with a mailing address if you need them.
  20. Went to the Ollie's in Overland Park Ks yesterday. All they have is a bunch of Thunderbird looking slammers and a few 1/32nd '32 Fords. I don't think I have ever seen much more than that at this store.
  21. Might want to double check the part numbers on the taillights as they may have a right and a left side part number. Sometimes in the prep and detailing stages from when a part is removed from their spruce it can be easily switched from side to side without noticing.
  22. Beautiful looking color and finish. Clean body trim.

    '71 Cuda

    Like the light sparkle in the paint and the smooth looking finish.
  24. Suggest studying as many pictures of the '68 Camaros as you can find. and ask your father about any old pictures he may have. The obvious major differences between the '67 and '68-year models are the vent windows deleted on the '68's along with the basic grill and taillight shapes. That is in itself a problem since there were many optional trim levels and many optional trim were even a standalone option in some cases.
  25. It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay you for it. Put up on E-Bay and start it at $100.00 and see what happens.
