Great job working with what you had. The interior and body colors are a little jarring but that is the way it was done. Nicely detailed engine. Unless it's to much trouble you might want to remount the left front tire as it is a directional tread pattern.

Great looking build style. I also noticed the rear tires. I think it looks good as the tread pattern matches the fronts.

Very clean looking T-Bird. I like the the way the colors look together.

Excellent Diorama. Looks like someone has been there and done that. Very realistic looking Mud.

Nice to see you're back on this build.

Another issue, looking at the Grill opening from the model, it has a lower Grill also. Before you start chopping these parts off you might want to check with your supplier to verify they sent you the correct part. They may not of understood exactly what Grill you were needing.

Consider looking at the wooden pallets used for shipping most products in the 1:1 scale. These are designed to be moved as needed with a Fork Lift or a manual Roll Around Jack. Another idea would be to have a flat base with small simulated wheels or blocks under it with an opening under it for the Fork Lift to pick it up. Simulating a wooden pallet with strips of plastic may end up being on the unrealistic thick side. What ever you make, the size of the forks should be the main consideration as you want something with an opening just big enough for the forks. What a cool idea to have your displays moveable like this.

I may be wrong, but it reminds me of a car Chrysler Corp. subsidiary offered in Australia and this is their performance model.

I was interested by your mention of your 2.8 Firebird and its lack of performance. You are correct about the performance in that car. When my wife graduated from Sac Stat we got her a new Cavalier Z something with a 5-speed. That thing was a little terror and the front end would break lose if you got on it very hard from a stop. She put well over 100k on it and it was still not using any oil or loss of performance when we sold it. I could hear her coming down the street and she wasn't even on it, sounded like an XK120 Jaguar.

Looks like a great kit. Very detailed.

This is another kit where AMT put a lot of extras in. I hope Round 2 does the same. At least you know they'll have some great looking Tires.

The original issue of the fastback included many extras. A lot of NASCAR inspired equipment and some minor custom options. They also included several different wheel and tire sets. I look forward to picking one up when they are released.

A great looking project. With all of the opening doors are you going to do anything with the interior ?

Very impressive paint finish and the foiling looks good from here.

With those Skis it's a good thing they included the Stretcher and Crutches. Do you know if the Canoe is included in the reissue of the Pontiac Bonneville ?

The rolling Chassis is a model all by it's self. And thanks for the link. That is a beautiful looking '40. I'm a little financially embarrassed right now so this would be out of my reach.

Great looking '32. Nice color and paint work. I like that style of wheels. The Arden head engines always look almost like a Hemi unless you know what you're looking at.

This is really look'n good. I really like it. Now I want to find one.

Looks good. I just remembered another possibility for the Cross Fire Injection, it may be also in the Pontiac Firebird kit of that same year model. All three of those cars shared engines at that time in the 1:1 world. I think it would have to be a Trans Am as that was sort of Pontiacs version of the Z-28.

Great looking paint finish. This really looks like the picture you showed when you started this build.

Your right, and I was trying to come up with something. The photo from the CHP Archives show the antenna mounted on the drivers side just below the C Pillar and above the rear fender. Maybe when they start letting us out of the house I'll look for something in the Doll House section at HL.

Another great looking Pickup. Nice and clean build.

Great looking Roadster Pickup. Just don't see enough of these in stock form.

Great save from what it was. I like the new theme.

Very nice clean looking build.
