What was that? OO, just my Master Card starting to melt.

The new body color looks very modern and currently something you would see on many new cars. The color really makes the black trim on the engine standout.

When you described the paint color, I was thinking it wouldn't look good, then I saw the picture and completely changed my mind, not that it matters, but it looks great.

Looks like the windshield isn't seating in all the way. Is the windshield attached to the rear window in the headliner area? If so, you might separate them and see if the windshield will go up into the roof batter. I have used the same type of clamps you are using on the glass on some of my builds. What I have experienced is that depending on how full cured the paint is it can leave an impression in the paint.

Great looking paint and interior trim. This looks like the Pro Shop AMT kit.

Like the engine color idea, sort of a Hell Cat maybe?

Look forward to hearing about Dt. McNally's adventures and of course your build on this Charger. I started one and managed to jack up the paint so it's back in the box for now.

I think JoHan offered a similar model years ago. AMT had a SCCA style race car model that I think could also be built as a showroom model. I would also be a player for one as well.

I have seen a few builders use oblong cardboard boxes like you would find at a Costco or supermarket, maybe even a Hobby Lobby when they recieve inventory.

Great looking paint finish and color. The trim detailing and the way you did the T Tops look good.

Great looking build, and I'd stick with the racing damage on the side stripe.

Beautiful paint color and finish. The body trim looks great. Like the way the interior and chassis is detailed.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The body trim detailing looks great as does the engine.

Great looking Model T Truck. The colors and finishes help to remind you just how basic of a vehicle these were.

Good looking color combination and like the bed wood.

Sometimes you can trim just a sliver off of the relief in the interior side panels so that the interior and chassis will slide in. I have even found that during the interior assembly that I failed to get the sides and the dash part seated tightly as well.

Thanks for the info on your resin body. The one I bought last year is from Star Models. After seeing what you posted on using the '67 Chevelle chassis I had to see if the wheelbase would line up on the body that I have. The chassis looks like it would fit on mine as well. I'll still need to find a grill and bumpers to finish. I don't want to cannibalize a '58 Impala kit so I'll have to look around for that. As for owning a "classic" '58 Yeoman wagon, a guy I used to work for wanted a '57 Ford two door that I had fixed up and he traded me the '58 wagon and a couple hundred dollars since I could use the money at the time. While the wagon was in perfect running condition the paint was oxidized from always sitting outside in the weather and never saw any type of waxing or other paint protection. The guy who traded the wagon to me got it from one of his lodge brothers who was a house painter, and this was his work truck for years. This gets better, the colors seemed to match the Forestry colors of green body and light gray room and had the basic 283 with a two barrel. The transmission was a 3 on the tree but had an overdrive on it. Chevrolets from that era that I remember that had factory 3 speeds rarely if ever had an overdrive. Ford on the other hand were normally found with an overdrive more common than not. At the time I thought of it as just an old car to commute to work in and wagons were just considered old family cars at the time, unlike now. As much as I liked and preferred my old '57 Ford I now kick myself for ever letting the wagon get away. Anyway, I'll watch your build to see what all you are going to do with it.

Saw the C-10 and my wallet started to tremble.

The 1:1 subject may have been little more than a trim option, but your build looks like it could be so much more. Strong color and well done, window coverings and just a little paint trim on the hood. The wheels look good along with some nice tires.

Beautiful looking GTO. Great paint color and finish. Cleanly done chrome trim and engine detailing.

Great looking build. The outdoors picture really makes it look realistic. Clean building and assembly make even an out of box build look great.

Better than the box art, great looking paint and decal finishes.

Nice looking suspension. Like the two-tone body colors.

Look forward to following your build. Having owned a '58 Chevy two-door wagon many years ago you can understand my interest. You mentioned the '67 Chevelle chassis and would like to know if there was anything you had to do to use it.

Just need some race numbers and some tire dust.
