  1. Have used this Orange on several builds, none of them were MoPars, just like the color.
  2. The body looks like something in plastic from one of the major model companies.
  3. Thank you for sharing your photos. They all look great. I like the black "37 Chevrolet pickup. The '34 Ford brought back memoirs of a truck I owned long ago, they both had a similar paint finish, but my bed was shortened.
  4. I remember the first time I saw a new GMC with the V6 and the "Tartan" looking valve covers. At first, I thought it was a joke or someone wanting to dress up their engine, sort of like chrome valve covers. The owner assured me that is the way GMC was doing it and that the other trucks he had looked at were done in the same way. I still think they look bazaar.
  5. Thanks for the info. I'll pass on this one. Trying to build copies of past vehicles I have owned. I'll have to convert the Stepside Sport truck that they issued as a 4x4 and change it to 2wd.
  6. Would like to know more about the '76 Chevrolet Street pickup. Wonder what if any additions are being made on the '57 Ford Wagon.
  7. Does anyone know what engine this is supposed to represent? On the instruction sheet it shows "Chevrolet" valve covers that look like a small block, but the spacing of the exhaust ports on the heads are evenly spaced more like a big block. The part # 77 is listed as being a fuel injection unit. This reminds me of the Lathum super charger from the old AMT chopped model A with the 430 Lincoln engine but turned around. The intake manifold looks as if it's raised indicating the engine may have a valley cover?
  8. Like the creativity of all the different components.
  9. Great looking coupe, and the paint color and finish are nice and smooth looking. Like the engine detailing and the wheels and tires are perfect on this.
  10. Great looking grill treatment along with the paint work. Nice contrasting interior color. Like the engine detailing.
  11. Great looking color and finish on the paint. The color seems to darken when photographed against the white background. Clean looking body trim. Like the white interior.
  12. Clean looking finish and the body details are all nicely done.
  13. Great looking Bus. Like the colors and the paint finish.
  14. The prices stated on their display are at or near MSRP. HL will list the same kits for $30, but with their 40% off bi-weekly sales their price will be lower.
  15. Amazing looking finishes and engineering throughout both the car and the boat & trailer. I followed your build and the way you recreated everything in scale was amazing to watch.
  16. Great looking paint and color. The chrome trim is what really caught my eye. I was an original owner of a '66 Impala SS long ago, and the trim here just looks perfect. The wheel arches are hard to get right on this model and these are done right, and most forget the Hoods center line chrome.
  17. Beautiful looking paint work and clean trim. Like the stance with the wheels and tires.
  18. Great looking body work. You know something was done but can't figure out what was it. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like the warmed up Flat Head. Should Ford have been thinking about a Thunderbird right after WWII this would be it.
  19. Like the Paint colors, nice and low key, nothing to give you a hint of what is under the hood.
  20. Proof of the old saying, "You can't fix stupid."

    '67 Shelby Mustang

    Great looking paint finish and color. The stripes are well done, and the wheels look like they belong on this.
  22. Like the heavy metallic green color. The detail on the license plate makes it almost look real.
  23. Truely bright Green.
  24. Great looking color and finish. The interior is really well done. I like the engine detailing along with the wheels and tires.
