  1. Beautiful looking paint treatment and body work. Like the interior as well as the engine detailing.
  2. Great looking paint finish and color. Like seeing WRC cars done as street cars. Like the wide wheels.
  3. Like the "Road America" style roll bars and the top would be a great idea since the original wouldn't clear the bars anyway. The paint color and contrasting interior go well together.
  4. Great looking Thunderbirds. The Coral color and the finish look good on this body style.

    Great looking '37. Like the black paint.
  6. Like the paint color and finish. The seat surface decals add to the interior. The wheel and tire combination look good on this.

    Great looking paint and trim finishes. Like how you built this with all of Jame's toys on display. Wish I had some of those features on my car with the drivers around here.
  8. For the sake of your windshield, you might want to think about some new wiper blades. They are very inexpensive compared to a scratched windshield.
  9. I have an unhealthy attraction to sedan deliveries myself.
  10. Great looking paint and body. Noticed the "Sprint" and body side stripe. Is this something the painter added or is it the OHC 6?
  11. Great looking paint color and finish. Clean minimal body trim. Like how you did the seating surfaces, very original looking.
  12. I keep a small makeup jar my wife gave me from Clinique. Can't think of a better way to attach small lenses and trim.
  13. Maybe a big drop axle front end would work.
  14. Someone in my area has a 1:1 in the shade of blue you mentioned that you're thinking of paint your build. Let me say when I see it is always going the other way on a six-lane divided highway around here and it is very eye catching even going 75 mph in the other direction.
  15. Thats what I was thinking as well. The problem is that the longer they sit out like this the harder it will be to get a good body finish. I realize that many would just cover the body with a semi-flat clear and call it good, but some others would rather have them shinny and looking good.
  16. I would suggest a full body mockup on the frame before gluing anything together.
  17. This looks to be the top-of-the-line Limited trim. I recall a classmate whose parents bought a new '58 Buick with this same trim level. Theirs was a red convertible with red leather interior and a continental kit.
  18. Always wonder the how and why of a lot full of old trucks like this. Shame they are left to rot outside. Maybe some minor engine or drive train issue caused them to be parked since the bodies look intact.
  19. OW OW OW !
  20. Like how you raised the front suspension ride height.
  21. Sounds like the schools' administrative staff need to go back to school themselves.
  22. Great body design and creativity. Can remember the sound of the Good Humor Ice Cream trucks of the summer driving thru the neighborhood as a child.
