We have had some very heavy rain the last three days. Yesterday we had to go run some errands and it started to snow. Roads remained clear. Today it's just above freezing but the sun is out and the birds are singing so it's all good.

Again a very accurate looking build. Outstanding paint.

Beautiful paint finish. All of the trim looks very realistic in color and finish.

There used to be a kit to put lights in the port holes. Some were even connected to the distributor in such a way that the lights would flash depending on which cylinder was firing.

My father bought a new '49 Ford four door and it had the plastic "white walls" on it. I remember the Pep Boys Auto Parts chain selling what used to be called porta walls. This is before tubeless tires were standard and everything had tubes in the tire. Yes this was some time ago. What you would do is let the air out of the tire and mount the porta wall white walls between the rim and the tire. Air up the tire and the porta walls were held in place. I remember seeing cars that people had gotten to close to the curb while parking and tear these things. The would be going down the road with part of the porta wall flapping the fender.

Something has to be way out of scale here. At first ready about your fitment description I thought maybe a little out of the grill surround and the head lights. After seeing the two grills side by side in the photo there's a lot more to this than scale.

Now that would just be cool in my driveway. So many great looking cars. That little black Valiant could be the best sleeper ever with some steelies on it.

That's the way I remember most of these. I like this look better than the later models.

Sounds like a good way to either: Set fire to your model, or heat the body until it starts to warp. The safer way my be to use a Food Drier.

That almost looks like the difference between a 1/24th and a 1/25th scale part.

I love your "Dull Spoon" reference as that was a favorite of my mother's. She would describe removal of curtain body parts with the same tool. Like you I have had a few friends who have been in various law enforcement departments. Some of the stories that never make the news are amazing in so many ways. Many of the things they have to deal with no one should have too. Thank heavens there're people who do things for the general public that they couldn't begin to get their heads around.

Beautiful looking build. Outstanding paint work and the level of detail is amazing.

It must be because of the mini bike.

Great looking travels. I like seeing the variety of Post Offices.

A few layers of clear and call it done.

Man I'm sorry to hear that. Nothing makes your day like messing up a fresh paint job.

I have used several different decals from them for interiors and they always lay down perfectly. The interior decals are very thin and extreme care when handling is a must but the results is worth a little extra effort.

Sorry to hear that, but that is what I thought.

The Willys Gasser will be nice to have again. Not as good as the Revell offerings but there're many of years apart when it comes to the time they were developed. The Lift looks interesting to me. I have to wonder just how many COPO Chevelle's were ordered with a vinyl roof ?

A lot of work went into this build. Turned out beautifully.

I like how you did the paint treatment. All of the other body and trim modifications work well together.

The hood looks perfect. I like the "post" body style.

Looks like the frame is going to be a great feature of your build. I agree with misterNNL on the additional frame work. This will also make the frame seem wider also.

The colors and the stripes look great. My personal all time favorite is the Go Mango orange.

That looks great. If someone is looking for an unusual color just visit the Nail Polish isle.
