  1. Great idea of the Ambulance and the two-tone paint work is cleanly done.
  2. Beautiful looking paint finish and the color looks great. Like the clean chrome body detailing and the interior.
  3. The well used bed and boom look great, and the cab finish looks fine as is to my eye anyway.
  4. Beautiful realistic looking finishes.
  5. First, congratulations on finding that special someone. Many have shared some of the problems in life you have mentioned. I have found that has made me better appreciate that special someone since it hasn't always been that way. We'll have been happily married for 40 years this May and have supported each other thru thick and thin and have experienced both in that time. I wish you the same. Now this Camaro, like the color and the look of the interior. Let us know what else your wife is wanting done, I think she has good taste.
  6. You sure? He's looking at you like he's hungry.
  7. Great looking paint and body trim. Like the Rum Runner look. Nice chassis detailing.
  8. Beautiful paint color and finish, Chevrolet could only hope they could roll out on this nice back then. Glad you included your construction photos. This helps to better understand just how much it took to create the proper appearance.
  9. Like the clean looking paint and body trim look. You captured the look of the Venture optional tri-colored interior. Like the realistic looking engine and chassis finishes.
  10. Great paint finish and color. The interior finish is well done and the chassis detailing as well.
  11. Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the way you toned down the wheel shine.
  12. Great looking showroom stock style. Would normally think of the body color and interior color combo until seeing it done. Like the paint color and finish now and the same for the interior.
  13. Great Saturday Night special for the local short tracks.
  14. Great looking body finish and engine detailing. Like the wheel & tire setup, perfect stance.
  15. Great looking miniature reproduction of your father's Charger. Beautiful paint and vinyl roof finishes. Like how you created the base 318 engine.
  16. That paint job would be hard to reproduce unless you're going to change color anyway. Maybe restore it in sort of a '50 - '60's era style.
  17. Great looking "practice run".
  18. Great save on this T-Bird.
  19. Beautiful paint finish and color. Great looking interior details. The engine is realistically done as well.
  20. Your build looks like it's coming along fine, and I like the looks of your flathead. The era 1952 electric fuel pump question would best be answered from someone even older than myself. At that time, I was sitting on the floor with some metal tooled toy cars making my own engine sounds. Around 1960 was when I first became knowledgeable of such accessories, especially when trying to work around vapor lock issues with hot running flatheads and that's a whole different story. The hood trim issue seems to of showed up around the time the sedan delivery hit the market. AMT may have tried to use the tooling from the original '40 Ford and the tool may have been well worn by then and for whatever reason they may have chosen to use it as is anyway.
  21. Like the comparison between the two different versions. Sort of have to leave the hood off or on depending. Great paint work and detailing on both builds.
  22. All of these are beautifully done and like the different finishes you used.
  23. Great looking COE cab conversion. Like the bed floor trim and the picnic baskets. The trailer and accessories look great as well.
  24. Almost got run over by a Tesla pick up a couple of days ago in the Costco parking lot. They say black is supposed to make you look slimmer, even the black paint couldn't help how this thing looked to me anyway. I'm thinking someone with a background in making HVAC sheet metal ducts may have found another industry to use their experience in.
