  1. Great looking paint work and cleanly done chrome trim.
  2. Great sinister looking build. The paint finish looks great, and the gold striping looks good as well.
  3. Beautiful looking paint finish and like the sparkle from the Pearl Clear. The extra efforts detailing the interior really look good. Like the light weathering on the engine and chassis. Even the cast iron exhaust manifolds look to have the correct finish along with the chipping paint on the engine oil pan. You got the stance.
  4. Great looking interior and chassis.
  5. Glad you described all of the details of this build, makes easier to see and appreciate all of the details. Very creative build.
  6. Amazing job envisioning all of the different body components and then blending them together seamlessly. Looking at it from some angles reminds me of the old electric car rides from the county fairs of old. Looks doable in 1:1 as well.
  7. Great looking color combination.
  8. Like the Kustom body work on the Nomad.
  9. I built this kit when AMT first released it. Not as good as the Revelle issues of the last couple of years but was a good kit for the time. Used it to build a copy of my then new '66 Impala SS.
  10. Great looking finishes and like the traditional build style. Your friend can show the model with his car at the next show & shine.
  11. Great looking color combination and like the two different tops. The paint finish is really nice now.
  12. Like the color and the clean chrome trim. The body proportions on this kit always looked exact to me. One thing to remember with this kit. This was first issued in 1959 and was as good as it got at that time. Basically, an unassembled Promo. Your finishes made it look great.
  13. Great looking paint color and finish. I share your appreciation of this body style, but I can only recall seeing them in Rally Racing. The wheels and trim look good against the body color.
  14. Great looking paint work and engine detailing. Datsun offered a shade of orange just like this and was a commonly seen color for these in my neighborhood. The wheels and tires look good on this.
  15. Like the sleeper look. The tire rubber on the fenders is a nice touch.
  16. Great looking paint work. Like the rack and the matching surfboard.
  17. The major Plastic Surgery and the paint look great. The chrome trim is nice and clean, and the bumpers and grill all look good. Like the lighting also.
  18. Beautiful looking paint and Z trim. The finishes and the interior are very realistic looking. I was working at a Chevrolet dealership when this year model came out and the first one received was this color combination without the T-Tops. I took it for a Demo and stopped at the Mall on my way home that night after work. When I came out someone had pried off the tri color Z-28 emblems from the grill and the fuel filler door. The dealer was not very happy, and I got to pay for the replacements.
  19. Beautiful looking paint and livery details.
  20. The wife and I went for Mexican last night. We have to drive through a residential area for a couple of miles to get to the freeway. We were in a 35 MPH zone and for the conditions that made sense. Even going 40 MPH some guy in a new Cadillac SUV is all over our back bumper. When we got to the freeway, he followed us still on our bumper. We're in a 70 MPH zone and We're going 75 MPH in the slow lane on a three-lane road. He finally takes off and had to be doing g 80 MPH++. The traffic was light especially for a Saturday night. While no moss is going to grow in my shadow, I think 5 MPH over is as risky as I'm going for anymore and I do leave the fast lane open for those who just have to get there a couple of minutes faster.
  21. Great clean looking stock style. The paint colors and the finish are very well done.

    Frankenstein

    Great looking body work. This could have been done on the 1:1 car as well, just don't remember seeing it done. The paint and trim are all cleanly done.
  23. Beautiful looking paint finishes on all of these builds. Like the attention to the engine detailing as well. They all have the stance and wheel and tire combinations that look right for whatever style you're building.
  24. The color combination on your friends Mustang looks great. Like the paint work and the detailed interior.
  25. Great looking little street rod. Like the look of the steel wheels and hub caps.
