  1. Great looking paint color and finish. Realistic looking body and interior proportions.
  2. Glad to see this model getting built and the Thunderbolt theme especially. Personal favorite has always been the "teardrop" style hood on Ford drag cars. I recall the drag optioned Fairlanes of '66 vintage had a single center mounted hood scoop with the opening at the leading edge. There was a '66 Fairlane kit at one time with that style hood offered and that might be something to consider. The dual hood scoops found mostly on Mercury drag cars could be another thought. Build it the way that looks best to you and what you're wanting it to look like.
  3. Great looking body and interior color finishes and combination. Like the engine detailing.
  4. Can't tell from the pictures that you had any problems that you described. Classic looking shade of silver with a great finish and clean body trim. Excellent door hinge details in the picture. The interior has a very realistic looking finish.
  5. Great looking paint color and finish. The light-colored interior works well with the dark blue body color. Like the wheel and tire setup.
  6. Try Googling '66 Fairlane and see what pictures they have. I often do just this on any model just to see what has been done on 1:1 car and what the factory offered as well. Your mention of a different colored interior to complement the popular Vintage Burgandy body color you're considering. Remember see many of these that were built with an off white or cream-colored shade that Ford offered that looked nice against many of the colors Ford offered.
  7. Great looking paint colors and finishes. Like the unusual body style.
  8. Great realistic looking body finish and design.
  9. Beautiful looking paint color and finish.
  10. Beautiful paint and body trim. Great looking engine and chassis detailing. I agree, these were some of the most impressive racers that Ford built in the day.
  11. Very realistic looking body damage and paint finishes. Like the overhead rack and the tools in the bed.

    Cosworth Vega

    Great looking Cosworth Vega. Like the paint and trim. Sham these were so expensive when new as it hurt their sales.
  13. Don't know what your relationship is like with your neighbor, but I would mention to them what your interaction was like with this person.
  14. I'll bet they're hoping she's going to drop a slice or two. Our Lab used to sit on my wife's feet when she would start fixing a meal for that reason.

    '68 Dart

    Great looking paint and body trim. Like the wheels.
  16. Great engine and body detailing.
  17. Like the paint color and finish, goes well with the interior.
  18. Had these on my '96 Chevy 1500.
  19. Beautifully done and realistic looking finishes and trim details. Have to look at the build thread to appreciate the changes that were required for its appearance.

    '65 Galaxie

    Great looking paint color and chrome trim. The contrasting interior looks good. Like the wheels and stance.
  21. Great looking summertime cruiser. Like the color combination and the wheels.
  22. Picked up the two Moebius '65 Nova Chevy II kits yesterday. Both the Resto Mod and the SS version have an unmentioned GMC Blower option on a chrome tree. There is a nice set of Chevy Rally wheels in the Resto kit along with a cowl induction style hood. Both kits have the same basic V-8 engine as the '64-year model kits along with a choice of transmissions. Both kits are every bit as nice as the '64's are.
  23. Like the 330 Dodge, but I think it would have to be a number's matching and heavily documented true Hemi car to be worth what they're asking. I also know that those who desire such cars are willing to pay stupid money for them.
  24. Had a similar experience and our new home was only two years old at the time. We had been using the mentioned wipes for years at our previous home with no issues, so we saw no reason to change when we moved here. In our case the wipes were hanging up on the back flow restrictor valve in the line per the plumber who cleared it for us.
  25. Great looking paint color and finish.
