Beautiful looking paint color and finish. The interior compliments the exterior. Like the chassis detailing.

Can you share with me were you're getting the two-wheel drive conversion for your build. I have also owned a few GM pickups through the years and would also like to build models of them. I have a couple of the Revell '76 Chevy 4x4 step side models but my '74 and '79 Chevrolets were 2-wheel drives.

So many great looking cars and trucks. I live about 5 miles from the Kansas Speedway, and they used to have the Good Guys Show there every year. A few years ago, the Good Guys went north, and they don't have that show anymore.

Last night about sundown looking out the kitchen window while having dinner. Wasn't expecting anything until my wife shouts "coyote". I see one sort of going at a slow trot looking around followed by a second and a third one. I'm thinking they are a pack that we hear sometimes vocalizing after dark and they look like the same ones we have seen in the past.

Great looking paint and body trim. The interior color gives a nice contrast to the body color.

Beautiful looking paint finish and Judge stripes. Like the engine detailing and the stance.

Great looking FI setup.

Beautiful looking and very realistic. Like all of the detailing and how cleanly done.

Great looking showroom stock looking build. Like the clean trim and white walls.

Beautiful paint finish and color. I like how the light reflects off the body lines. Engine looks very realistic.

Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Great looking engine detailing along with the wheel & tires combination.

Great looking Dodge. Like the clean body trim and the stance.

Impressive looking trim work.

With the lack of driving ability with the drivers around here, the only thing worse than a roundabout might be the diverging diamonds at freeway interchanges.

Great looking pair. I like the two different liveries, and the Coke machine colors match well.

Great looking paint color and finish. Clean body details and trim.

Beautiful looking paint and trim finishes. Your mention of the kit's short falls and how you overcame them helps to fully understand what all you had to do on this build.

Might consider getting reprints of the decals as a backup plan just in case they're compromised by age. I used the Testers Purplelicious on a Dodge Magnum Wagon build before and it sprayed out nice and smooth right from the can. The usual spoon test will give you an idea as to how it lays down. Look forward to watching this build.

Detail these models from your father and display them in a way honoring him.

I used to have to chase the snow blower around the driveway a few times every winter. We downsized and we have maintenance provided. They're so quiet that they don't even wake us up in the morning and they clean the walks and the front stoup. Ran into the couple that bought our old snow blower at the market in the spring after we sold the old house. He had been dragging his feet about buying it since he was young and thought nothing of shoveling a couple of feet of snow by hand. He and his wife thanked us profusely after we had had one of the larger snows in a long time that winter.

Some of the locals here have taken it upon themselves to drive straight across the round abouts here. Most seem to be driving larger lifted 4x4 pickups or some sort of large SUVs.

Your local in Hayward Wi. reminds me of a long-ago experience. The C&NW Railroad, Chicago and Northwestern RR, had a run north out of Chicago too northern Wisconsin that I have ridden on in the past. This is when the Conductor would walk thru the cars and announce the next train stations. The one I remember the best, I thought it was funny, "Hayward, Hurly and Hell next stop" Interesting history in the area during the early logging days long ago.

Great looking patina and signs of neglect.

The paint work looks really good and need only a light polish.

Looks pretty nice in the pictures. Not knocking it but it reminds me of a NARC car from days of old.
