I agree with Misha, on your "skill set". The thing I like most is the understated color and overall look of your build. Very clean and well done in every way.

To rich for my blood. I could buy a pretty nice home for that kind of money around here.

I knew that, but my parents, this was a long time ago, also didn't want me to read MAD Magazine or watch hardly any TV.

Thank you for the info. They look the part and I'll have to try that on a build soon.

Great looking paint finish and I like the color also. Very cleanly trimmed.

Looks like real old thick paint jobs over the years. You realize it would be hard to get this finish if that is what you were first trying for. I think it turned out great looking myself. Morgan, now all you have to worry about is Termites

Might be the same as used in the Revell Monte Carlo SS and the Buick grand National street kits.

I'll see if I can take a picture of the decal sheet and post it so if anyone else wants to use them they can.

Sorry to here about your lose and new found responsibilities.

A thought for your tail lights. You could use Bare-Metal foil inside and some clear red paint or cut down any old head light lenses you might have and use that as a lens.

I forgot to ask about your mufflers. They look like very nice Flowmasters and I would like to build some myself.

Ha Ha, mine has her nose buried in her Kindal reading all the time.

I agree . I'm trying to finish a '48 Chevy Aerosedan now. I did the usual spark plugs and even ran the fuel lines up and in front of the engine and then ran the line too the three Carb. setup. As if the three fuel blocks weren't bad enough the Oil Filter had to wind around all of that also. I have the battery cables pretty well worked out and the mountings for the heater hoses are in place and shouldn't be a problem. Amazingly the kits Radiator Hoses work perfectly, Score !!! But I love doing it.

There were both 1:1 and the 1/25th plastic also. I never used the decals on a build but I think I still have the decal sheet somewhere.

I look forward to the '49. The basic kit has always been one of my favorites and my family had a '49 four door when I was a child. I have owned a couple of 1:1 '51 Fords years ago and I can't count how many models of these I have built thru the years so I think you can see why I'm so interested. None have been of this level of course.

Ya I remember following your Chevy pick up builds. They turned out great but I think two might be the max at a time for me.

Most dealers would do or add anything you were willing to pay for at that time. The Cornering Lights were more involved than you might realize. Changing the trim parts wouldn't be a big deal, but getting into the wiring could get involved plus the cost of the parts not to mention the labor wouldn't make it practical to most buyers. My '66 Impala SS I had the under hood and trunk lights added and they got that done in the time it took to do the purchase paper work so that wasn't a big deal. An example of costs think about their F41 Sport Suspension. This was a $30 some dollar option on an ordered car. This included a larger diameter front Sway Bar and a rear Sway Bar that a normal car wouldn't have had. In addition you got heavier Springs and HD Shocks. Talk about the buy of a life time, this was it.

I used to do that and found I never finished anything. Now I just put my efforts into one at a time and it does seem to work a little better for me. My stumbling block seems to be when I start running hoses and fuel lines and other wiring. I like doing all that and do a pretty fair job of it but my fat fingers and eye sight are starting to let me down.

Far to many employers are hindered by their "Thumb Suckers" in their HR Departments. They just got out of collage and think they know everything there is to know about the world and don't even understand what qualifications the company is looking for or what the job description even is. But if you have a lot of experience then you just have to be to old in there minds.

The tilt front end including the doors has to be unique, I don't think I have ever seen that done before. The way you blended the grill area into the '69 body it looks just like something that GM could have done. The overall engineering and design that you put into this is exceptional on so many levels. The interior is just so nicely done it's a model all by it's self.

I like the build style on this.

I agree on this door panel. I hadn't noticed that until now. The '67 SS has been a pretty good seller for Round 2 so I wouldn't think they would destroy the interior mold.

This looks like fun. The area over the front wheel opening, what are you thinking there ?

That is a beautiful looking classic.

Thank you for the great pictures. One thing I noticed was how close the sprk plug wires are to the headers in some pictures.
