Like the sleeper look. The tire rubber on the fenders is a nice touch.

Great looking paint work. Like the rack and the matching surfboard.

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.

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.

Beautiful looking paint and livery details.

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.

Great clean looking stock style. The paint colors and the finish are very well done.

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.

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.

The color combination on your friends Mustang looks great. Like the paint work and the detailed interior.

Great looking little street rod. Like the look of the steel wheels and hub caps.

Great looking color. Like the wheels and tires.

Like the stock look. I used to do the service work on a Rebel model during the late '60's. The owner had ordered it with a 290 V8 and a 4-speed. A lot faster than you would think and road manners to match. Resist the urge to put a vinyl roof on this and make it a solid color. His was sort of a dark turquoise. Maybe Google the 1:1 and look at what the color pallet offered at that time.

Great color combination and finish. Like the detailed engine and chassis.

Thanks for the info. In the past I have used Purple Power, but that doesn't seem to be working. I have an old can of the Oven Off but that seems to only dull the color finish. I'm going to give it another 24 hrs. in the Purple Power pond and see. Like how you did the floor pan and the frame looks good.

That new of a car could be Googled. There should be pictures, hopefully of original engines, that would give you an idea of the shade of blue you need.

Like seeing the effort that Round 2 is putting into these kits instead of a straight release of the old kits. Their new Dodge Charger is on a level with a Moebus kit.

Beautiful looking finishes, well worth the effort. Looks better than the drawing on the kit box.

Like the old school look. Great paint and well detailed engine.

Great, clean looking build and the Tiki Hut as well.

Another consideration would be Tamiya TS-93 Pure Blue. This color is slightly lighter than the TS-15 Blue and is also a non- metallic color. Depending on how stock you are trying to be remember that like many manufacturers the color can be slightly different from one year to the next and even from one plant to another.

As Dave has pointed out there can be big differences between driving habits from one region to another. Living just west of Kansas City and very near the Mo. border, I'm not picking on Mo. drivers per say, this is also a central location with a lot of through traffic from many other nearby states not to mention a lot of 18-wheeler traffic from everywhere you can think of. One thing that I use as a warning is that Kansas uses a two-letter tag on the license's plates along with the yearly renewal. There are curtain driver characteristics not to mention very bad driving habits that are often typical of drivers from some of the counties around the KC Metro area. This does often give you an idea of what the other driver may or may not due when driving.

Good morning Dennis. I have a couple of questions on your build. #1 What did you use to strip the old paint. I have failed to practice what I have preached about the use of paint not designed for our plastic models. #2 The suggestion to use the bed floor of the 1950 Ford truck model. I think that the '60 Ford F100 with the fleet side bed had a steel floor and only the step side bed had the wood floor. I do realize that in the automotive world there seems to be an exceptions to every rules. Going to a step side bed might be an idea though.

You have to drive very defensively for any hope of getting anywhere in one piece unscathed. I try and anticipate what the guy in front of me is going to do by watching the cars ahead of him. Had an experience with a dumb you know what yesterday on the freeway. I try and use the cruise control, if possible, there are very few people that can maintain a steady speed on their own. I'm over taking a guy in the center lane of the three-lane freeway. As I get close, and not tailgating. That's dangerous and rude. I move to the left lane to glide by him. As I get close to his rear quarter he speeds up, then slows down to where he is sitting just off of my right rear quarter panel, also known as you "Blind Spot" unless you have a fisheye mirror. He is now going almost ten MPR faster than when I was overtaking him, and he's been riding there for more than a few miles. My off ramp is coming up and I need to get over to safely exit. I turn off the cruise and drop my speed and move over behind him for about a mile when he suddenly decides he's in a hurry and takes off going least 75+ MPH. Begs the question: Why is this other driver not wanting to be passed if he isn't going anywhere close to the speed limit in the first place? He's going between 60 and 65 in a 70 MPH zone. He's in the proper lane I guess since he's not sitting in the fast lane like so many other drivers do. But when I move over to pass him, he has to start pacing me and speeding up, so I don't pass him.

Good looking paint finish and the two figures really look like Laurel and Hardy. The things they did to Model Ts back in the silent movies were amazing to watch.
