    62 AMT Bel Air

    Beautiful looking bubble top. Great color combination and engine detailing. I question the firing order, but everything is neatly done.
  2. Beautifully done Catalina. I also remember reading your reference article and also saved a copy to do much as you have. Your build looks about as acerate as can be to the 1:1 car.
  3. Great clean looking "57.
  4. The interior treatment is attractive looking. As for the spring, check the flaps of the box. I have had small parts go missing of the parts tree and they often seem to lodge inside those flaps.
  5. The last one I recall was a couple of years ago. The box art shows an option of wood body trim in a decal along with a taxi. Keep your eye open for them the next time you're at a swap meet. As I recall the wagon on the box art is sort of a blue/green color.
  6. One of the most realistic looking rust jobs I can recall. Having lived near the ocean on the west coast years ago this would have been a very common sight.
  7. Great looking finishes. The '40's were one of the best-looking Fords.
  8. Looks great. Same color as your Dart. I remember the "Petty Blue" being very popular on these cars. I like the Cop Car wheels.

    1975 dodge dart

    Great looking little Dart.
  10. Great looking Vicky. I like the period custom touches on the trim. Paint looks nice and smooth.
  11. Beautiful looking paint work. Any one of the colors would look great. Great looking chassis.
  12. I vagally remember seeing Falcons that shared more than a few trim parts with some Fairlane's and even the last Falcon Ranchero's had the Falcon nose, but the body was a Fairlane and the next year the Ranchero was built as a Fairlane.
  13. I like the basic look that the owner did with this, but these is actually unusual model Fairlane. This looks to be the base Fairlane with the two-door post but what makes it unusual is the roof design is shared with the Falcon of that period.
  14. Funny thing about the Chalet, when these things were new Chevrolet dealers almost couldn't give them away. The dealership I worked in had one in stock for almost two years.
  15. Thank you for sharing the background on this build. The book you put together for shows is an excellent idea. As beautiful looking as this is I think it would be hard to understand all of the fabrication that went into this. I'm sure the judges appreciate it as well for that very reason.
  16. Round 2 reissued the JoHan glue kit of this promo. Finding one would offer you many options to enhance your promo.
  17. Great looking color and a smooth paint finish. My favorite style wheels.
  18. Opening vent windows look great and I like how you hung the trunk lid (boot).
  19. The splines are an extra cost option.
  20. Great looking roof conversion.
  21. Beautiful looking paint finish. I like the stance and the wide whites on steel wheels look perfect on this build.
  22. Great looking roadster.
  23. Very creative. Great action going on and the detailing of the caricatures shows a lot of action going on.
  24. Nice patina finish.
