Captured the '50's look with the color and the skirts and continental kit. Great looking finishes.

Perfect setting for this Merc. The color and finish show all the nice trim on these cars. Like the showroom style.

Great looking color and the Hemi side trim. All three of your builds look good, but if I was making payments on a 1:1 Cuda it would be this one.

Great looking paint work and the chrome trim. I remember your first build as well, different color but also looks great.

Great looking color and paint finish. Clean looking trim details.

Great looking paint and added custom touches. Like all the extra painting details on the mechanical and interior features.

Great looking color combination and finish. So much detail on the interior and the exterior camping extras.

Beautiful looking paint work and trim.

Just finding these original built ups is amazing. The restoration on each one looks great, and I like their new style. Tasts have changed in model building thru the years.

Your friend's pick-up looks great, and this model will be a nice gift. The additional hood trim should be easily done with a few strips of plastic stock. You mentioned color and unless you have already found it, I'll mention that it looks like the Chevrolet #22 Lt. Blue Metallic from the seventies.

Like the flat black body color. Can't tell you how many cars I had as a young man and could only afford a few cans of Krylon Flat Black spray cans. Use whatever trim color you like for the firewall and the carb throats along with anything else that looks good too you.

Great engine and interior detailing. Like the subdued body color.

It's the little details like this that add so much to the overall look of a model.

I couldn't tell from the video about the tires in the Corvette kit, but when first issued this and others with the Street Rod logos had some very nice low-profile tires as an option. They were more on the order of the one on 1:1 road racing cars of the day. Anyone liking a '62 Impala convertible should pick up one of these. I built one from an original issue last year and the fit is just like the '62 Bel Air hardtop that AMT offered.

Great looking Ranchero. Like the big & little tires and the stance. Using the six cylinder makes this a good representation of what these were like.

Both are great looking builds. Like the different styles.

Like the way you put the top together. You mention the size of the tires. Maybe something with a smaller diameter would work. Like the wide whites and hub cap idea.

I have started to use Gundam Markers for small detail parts. Like the Molotov pins but much better finish and easier to work with. Most hobby store will carry them, and they offer many different colors as well.

Great looking color combination. The stance along with the wheels and tires have an aggressive look.

The combining of the two different year model Camaros look almost factory. Besides the great paint job, I like the abbreviated stripes. Nice looking wheels and tires.

Great looking paint color and finish. The wheels and tires look good along with the stance.

Great looking paint and interior detailing.

This is something that has happened with a favorite Aunt and my father. The thing that was hardest to deal with was watching someone you have always loved and respected, someone you have admired for not only what they have done professionally, but just the way they have led their lives and interacted with everyone else. Seeing them slip away is disheartening. Don't be afraid to ask for professional help since it will be better for them and your own well-being.

Had both eyes done a month ago. Best thing ever. Use glasses just to read fine print or when doing model detailing. First thing you will notice is how bright it is. Start shopping for some sunglasses, not those things the doctor gives you.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. All the trim is cleanly done. Like you this kit and the subject brings back many fond memories. While antiquated by todays standards this still builds into a great looking model. I have one on the bench now. As a child I went with my father to pick up a new '49 Ford four door from the Ford dealer. As a young somewhat adult, I have owned a few that never looked this nice. I had a couple of '51's that I really enjoyed driving.
