Great job creating this little 300 coupe. I did the same front end swap putting a '67 front end on a '66 El Camino. See my Avatar. You would think they would just match up, but they don't.

Great looking Camaro. Very cleanly detailed.

Very clean looking and the color looks great.

This should be quit a restoration. I like the interior, a little shinny but I like that you can see the French Seems on the seats.

The kit's engine represents a Pontiac engine. The 3x2 Carb. setup was an option usually referred to as Tri-Power. The factory color that Pontiac used was different shades of a medium Blue color going to a light metallic finish in later years. Building a custom you can paint it what ever color you like.

Beautiful looking Miata. I remember this special edition because I like the color so much. I even considered buying one but my upper torso put the top of the windshield frame at eye level. Anold saying about cars. "It is more fun driving a slow car fast than driving a fast car slow". I have always found it true.

The lower part of the grill area is removed so it may or may not be a '41 Ford. The rest of the front end is anything between a '46 and a '48 Ford.

Something to consider especially since your not at fault. There will come a day when you will be selling or trading in this car. This type of damage will show up on a Car Fax Report and legally must be disclosed by you. This will effect the value of your car at that time. We just went thru this a couple of years ago while trading our '10 Charger for an "18 model Charger. You might want to try for additional compensation in addition to the repairs on your car.

They're still running these old shows ?? That was a very long time ago in my youth that I watched that. I'll have to see if I can get that Channel. Thank you for the info. That might be something I might want to do.

Just different enough I think I'll have to have one. I'm at a point that I'm trying subjects that I usually don't pay any attention to.

This has a lot of possibilities. I remember a TV Sow from long ago set in WW II on the Sahara Desert that I think was called "Rat Patrol". They had a 50 Cal. mounted on a tripod of some sort with a standing Gunner in the back. They would do hit and run raids and then go hide in the desert.

The conversion looks very realistic and I would never guess this started as a Coupe body.

Very gritty looking. Great looking build and diorama setting. I like the pictures in the dark with the lights on.

I'm looking forward to watching this conversion. I always felt the GM and Ford products from the Canada looked like a customized version of what we had here.

It's kind of like riding a bicycle, it all comes back to you. The looks of your build does prove the old proverb about remembering things. I like the red/black color combination.

Looks good in the picture. You might play with the air pressure, thickness of the coat of paint being applied and how far from the subject you're painting. Once you get a feel for the balance you will be amazed at the finish.

You got James West driving a V-8 Thunderbird with the visible shift lever in park and sounding more like an XKE going thru the gears. Now only in Hollywood would be able to drive at highway speeds and not lose your cowboy hat or get your hair messed up. Tires are squealing with the slightest movement of the car. Have you ever been to Palm Springs in the Summer ?? Trust me you wouldn't be wearing driving gloves or a coat of any kind.

As others have mentioned the question of weather to build it or not is up to you. I would suggest buying a reissue and have at it. I'm not into small Imports myself but like you I had friends who had a few 1:1's. These were a truly great little car for their time and this is a kit I would highly recommend to anyone with even a passing interest in the subject. I built mine with a 1973 #1440 BRE Datsun 510 kit. This was the race car only version of the kit and that was the way I wanted to build it anyway. The kit goes together well and with just a little addition of hoses and spark plug wires I think it's an outstanding looking build.

The little scooter and all the other accessories are just as interesting as the figures.

Super clean looking build even after all these years. This kit was considered "State of the art" in 1962.

A little Nova Wagon, now I just need to get a couple of Surf Boards and I'm heading to County Line.

Very realistic looking weathering. A lot of great little details on the interior. I'm guessing this guy isn't going to buy it based on his dogs disapproval.

You have every right to be proud of this one. I like the neatly done trim.

Very nice clean looking build.

These are great looking and I look forward to seeing more of your builds. I like the showroom stock nature of most of these.
