  1. Beautiful looking paint finish and I like the color combination. Clean looking engine and chassis. Great looking street machine.
  2. This has to be one of the best conversions I have ever seen. The haul is correct looking, and the engine looks very realistic. Like the custom interior.
  3. Great looking conversion. Hard to get the proper door widths going from a two door to a four door plus the window pillars.
  4. Beautiful looking paint finish and contrasting interior. You can tell you spent a lot of time and energy detailing this build.
  5. Trim and decals are all looking good.
  6. Only you can decide how much your time and frustration is worth as opposed to the resin kit that's done.
  7. The extra detailing on the interior panels looks great. What size plastic strips did you use on your seat design?
  8. Great looking engine. You mentioned the engine color, and the ones I was familiar with were much like the shade of gray you have used. Chevrolet started calling their 6 cylinder the "Blue Flame" around the mid '50's and started painting the 6 cylinders engines blue, your families '56 Chevrolet was so equipped.
  9. That was my mother-in-law till we took the keys way. That was an act of public service.
  10. Been holding off even buy this kit since they don't seem to have a handle on the windshield issues.
  11. The Coronet RT looks interesting, and I like the idea of a utility trailer. The '63 Corvette kit, I'm wondering if they're still using the same engine block for the 427 and the 327 just as AMT did way back when. This was a good kit with a lot of extras, so it's a maybe with a parts box engine swap.
  12. Another great looking off-roader. Like the rusty water detailing on the inner fenders. Besides the paint you have all the trim cleanly done as well as all of the accessories.
  13. Beautiful looking rig, I like how you molded the top to the body. Paint looks to pretty to go into the woods.
  14. Beautiful looking paint finish and clean looking trim and wheels.
  15. Thanks Mike glad you liked them.
  16. Hi Bob. The resin body Chevelle was a fun build for me. I used a lot of engine parts from the "69 Camaro Z-28 and the wheels and tires I bought at a swap meet and they came from a Corvette model. The difference with my sight is just hard to describe. I spent many years using a computer at work along with age, my Eye Doctor said that he couldn't compensate with my prescription for my glasses any longer. Replacing the lenses in my eyes now allows more light in and the only correction I have now is using "Cheaters" for reading small print. Painless deal and the results were within 24 hrs.
  17. I remember reading the article on this car way back when. The paint colors and finish look great. Looking at your exhaust I now realize the 4 mufflers were done differently than I imagined. Like the engine detailing.
  18. Beautiful looking Chevelle. I like your color treatments and the clean trim.
  19. I agree with CANCON, hard to tell from the photos that you're not looking at a real car including the engine modifications you did.
  20. First cars, even beaters, always stay with you. This build really does look like a Midwest car that has been used hard and sat outside all night.
  21. They all look great. I remember following your struggles with the Porsche, but you made it look correct. Like the way you built the Cataline, always liked the real thing and this is a great kit. Like seeing your personal Chevelle again, bet you wish you still had that one.
  22. After seeing the way you built the Chevy II wagon I can see why you were asked to do the '32.
  23. I like the way you finished the Muscle Cars, and the Flat Fender Jeep looks cool.
  24. Amazing number of builds for the year, especially with this level of paint finish and trim details.
  25. Great looking group. I remember you working on the Javian and the Rambler convertible looks like fun.
