That shade of Green is really eye catching. Very cleanly detailed and as David mentioned the foil work is about as perfect as you can find.

Pretty color with lots of sparkle.

I also like the dark blue color, but I see what you mean about the black Mach 1 decals being hard to see. Were there any white decals on the sheet you got that may offer a little more contrast or are you happy with the way it is ?

Smooth looking body work so far. Making the hood flat looks much better with the new grill area. So what color are you going for ?

Interesting subject. I remember these with the AMC 401 cu in and a 4 speed. They were a lot quicker than most people realized until all they saw was tail lights. I like your chassis idea and look forward to seeing how this turns out.

Springfield Bottling Company, Brick Streets. As a child my mothers parents lived in Springfield Illinois and every street was brick unless they had paved over the brick. Their driveway was covered with the coke from the furnaces used to fire the bricks. That was cheaper than gravel at that time.

Learn something new all the time watching what so many others are doing. Thankyou for the insight on how to overcome problems and improve my own builds.

I have to agree with everyone else and drive. As GMP440 mentioned, this will give you an opportunity to inspect the collection to be sure it is as presented. My biggest concern would be the condition after shipping. I have had my collection moved by professional movers along with all of are belongings across country and had no problems. We moved ten miles to our present home and I think the movers were playing catch with the boxes while throwing them into the truck. Yes there was damage and no they wouldn't do anything about it and even suggested that the kits were already damaged. Very surprising how little recourse you have in these situations. So if you don't already have a vehicle that can carry your new collection safely out of the elements than consider borrowing or renting something that will.

Despite the red plastic issues this turned out very clean looking. Nicely detailed interior and trim.

You're right, this does look like one of Texas Metal's builds. I like the details like the spray in bed liner and the textured dash cover.

Great looking TA. I like the hat on the antenna, perfect touch.

I like the Pro Street vibe and the paint and details are all very clean looking.

Beautifully finished. Very classic looking color combination.

Great looking color for this. I also like how you used parts from here there and everywhere and brought them all together. Shows your great creativity.

Nice to see the unloved get a little love. Like you I always thought the Edsel was unique. I still remember all of the rather rude jokes about it's appearance. They also had some interesting two tone and even three tone color combinations.

Great looking paint work and I like the way you detailed the engine.

The Hugger Orange color was originally thought of as a Camaro color. The color became so well received and everyone seemed to want their other model Chevrolets that color it soon became available on the inter car line. That was the "IT" color for GM as even the Pontiac used it on the GTO Judge.

Bonus on the Firewall. Wise idea to reinforce the upper body parts for future work. The other thing is that if the roof moves around to much any glued joints and areas of body filler could crack or even break out.

I agree as that is how I have done it in the past. Today if I were building anything with the Cowl Induction Hood I would consider masking off the stripes and spray them. The decals have always been fussy and the white stripes on a dark color really requires two set to look right. Just my opinion , but that's the way I'll be doing them in the future.

I can wire my jaw shut and couldn't lose weight. What's the Dr. giving you to help. My Cardiologist be thankful for any help for me also.

I remember seeing articles featuring the Super Bee/truck and really liked it then and now. Never recall seeing the Charger before but I like it also. The proportions of the bed and body as well as the roof design make it look like something they may have done.

The paint and body details are great looking. Looks like the perfect weekend track day car.

Beautiful looking build. I would never have thought of that Grill, but it looks perfect on this. The body and paint are very smooth and the engine and chassis detailing is special as well.

The Red interior looks much better. Didn't want to say anything about the Green, just thinking it's your choice.

A small set back. Found some bubbling in the clear finish on the Sun Visor and the fender Skirts. After a 2 day bath in the Purple Pond I finally got back to bare plastic. Some trim had to be re glued. I'll repaint these parts by the week end and tidy up some of the chrome trim and install the windows.
