A lot of great looking rides. The gray Road Runner just looks like something you don't really want to mess with.

You really captured the Day Two look with this. In the pictures the paint color looks a lot like the Marina Blue of the time and was a very popular color at the time. Very nicely detailed interior and engine.

Beautiful looking old PD car. I enjoyed watching your build and McNally's travels.

Another great looking build.

Looks great and the black paint job is very smooth looking.

Besides being a beautiful looking build the roof treatment really makes this standout. I also like how you used the same treatment on the seat inserts. The engine compartment is well detailed and the overall clean appearance of the paint and body trim also.

I live in an area that used to be used for grazing cattle. I try not to dig to deep anywhere.

I have been using the drill bits in the circular container with great results. As for they being the X-Acto brand I can't really tell as their name doesn't appear anywhere on the container and this leads me to believe they are not X-Acto products. Non the less they have preformed perfectly in my mind. A few suggestions on the breakage issues you mentioned. I have fond that if I mark the spot I want to drill first does help. Think of it like a punch in metal work or even wood work. I use a #11 blade to gently start a small indentation where I want to drill. Next when putting the drill bit into the handle set it in to where just the groves of the drill bit are exposed. The "starting hole" gives the edge of a very fine bit something to get a hold off. By mounting the drill bit deep into the handle you're giving the bit more support. I also use very little pressure and let the bit do the work. They are very thin and delicate and I have found they will break easily if I apply much pressure. The set I'm using has sizes from #61 thru #80 and was purchased at a local hobby shop.

Beautiful looking T-Bird. I like all the little extras you added to make it look more like the TV car.

To quote Richard Prior, "This is the lords way of telling you you have way to much money".

Obviously someone is going to be looking for work outside the transportation industry. Have to wonder how and where this overpass came from and how it got set this low.

Just out of curiosity how long does anyone think Ammo is good if stored in a dry mid 70's environment ?? I'm asking for a friend you understand.

Great looking build, and I also didn't notice anything out of place. I like your seat inserts, unusual, but they look good here.

Great looking custom. I like your color choice also.

Beautiful looking paint and trim. I'm not familiar with the subject, but I think it is a good looking car.

This is really the look of the time when this year model of Corvette was often made into a Gasser. The Decals have the period look as well. Paint finish is super smooth. Somewhere a Corvette purest would be hyper ventilating right about now.

One of the reasons not many Nova's didn't have a vinyl roof was that this was more of a price leader car and the vinyl roof covering didn't preform any known function beyond attracting rust to start between the top and the roof panel. The huge padded half roof covering option was sometimes seen with the later Nova Concourse trim. We sold a lot of Nova's at the dealership I worked at and stocked very few with a vinyl roof. I had two different Nova demo's with vinyl roofs. The first was the '75 Nova LN. Not often seen since the option put it in the Chevelle price range. They had a very unique interior and it was a great little car. I later had a Nova SS but the Sales Manager had ordered it with the Cabriolet style vinyl roof in Black. The car was a dark Maroon color and all the SS Striping was also Black. To me it looked hideous and to get it sold I offered any salesman who sold it an additional $100 out of my own pocket, and it still look them 6 months to sell the thing.

Good looking vinyl roof. You mention using Rally Wheels, and the OEM Chevrolet Rally Wheels are on the chrome parts tree. The Oldsmobile wheels look good also.

She looks like a little sweet heart.

I'll have to hurry and get this, may improve the Golf Game I don't play.

While watching another rerun on the beloved History Channel last night they had a teaser about the next seasons Oak Island returning.

I like how you shaped the grill and front fenders. The engine looks perfect for this.

Maybe you could remove some of the material on the header panel where it drops down in the center. From the picture this looks like it would allow the bumper, grill, and headlight part to move into place with the fenders and wouldn't effect the fit of the hood.

A thought on your lettering for the Valve Covers. There are dry transfer lettering and numbers available in various fonts that you could use. These can be had in different colors as well.

Looks great. I like the look of the passenger side how the "rust" looks as it comes from behind the paint. Many cars rust from the inside out depending on their environment.
