  1. Your body modifications all flow well. The body proportions can be very difficult to do without any jarring body lines. I like the mild chopped top the way you have done here.
  2. Beautiful looking cruiser. The paint job looks great and the perfect color. The stance is just where you would want it.
  3. This is really nice looking. The two bodies are blended perfectly and the plaid pattern on the sides looks good also.
  4. Might be a SS want a be. Got the Hood and the grill emblem. Front fender has small block emblems and nothing on the rear panel. This is still a nice looking Chevelle anyway.
  5. I love the sound of the engine as he works it up through the gear box.
  6. Beautiful shade of Blue. I remember seeing a lot of six tail light Corvettes years ago and removing the front Bumper was also a common modification. The Hood treatment is distinctive.
  7. Great looking build. The White color gives it a very clean appearance and it goes well with the light colored interior. The '56 Ford F-100 was in my mind the best looking truck they ever produced and they have offered many good looking trucks.

    Latest Builds

    They all look very nice. Man doing a half a dozen builds every month doesn't leave much time for anything else does it ?

    2016 camaro

    Your build looks great and I like the theme. I have only visited Hawaii a coupe of times, I don't think a black car is wise in the tropics, but I know that's the way it works on TV.
  10. Great looking "Stock" A. I don't often see one built this way, and that's a shame because the original is a very handsome looking car.
  11. The Head lights and the Hood almost look production ready for the '59 model year. The production models had a much deeper center section on the Hood but the Head lights look about wright I'm glad they passed on the Grill. The Hub Caps look like the '56 Bel Air design.
  12. Are my eyes deceiving me or is that an "Orange Peal" finish on that paint ?
  13. Thank you. I have to get into a very bad position to clear gutters at one end of the house. I usually use my 12 ft. latter and wooden blocks because of the uneven ground. . At least that way I have four contact points rather than the two very small feet on the extension latter. The latter I used also had no hooks to rest against the gutters and as soon as the earth shifted it just slid out and I was left at least 6 ft. in the air. I'm really getting to old for this sort of thing, I'll be 75 in June. I'm saving up for gutter covers.
  14. She may have , and it sounds like she sure did, break his heart. But if he's a decent guy he will hopefully find someone in the future that is worthy of his attention and devotion. She will someday meet someone just like herself and the guy will rip her heart out just like she did here. Payback is a mother, unfortunately you aren't always around to see it. I have and I admit it was very satisfying when they came around looking for a shoulder to cry on.
  15. I usually use the # 75 .021 or #74 0225 size drill bits for installing plug wires if that's any help.
  16. I'm sure there would be a lot of that also. Find just about any old picture of "Dandy Dick Landy" and you will see him with his trade mark Cigar that he chomped on all the time.
  17. Another off the wall place to look for small fittings like this is one of the Hobby Lobby/Michael's type stores that offer jewelry parts. I have found many odd shapes and sizes for next to nothing not to mention tools there.
  18. The first year model MCSS's were White with Blue interiors. Late in the model year and into '75 they added a Mt. Blue or White. For '76 they added a Dark Maroon and Black and I think the Blue went away or I don't recall seeing one. They added the Aero rear Window to make it legal for NASCAR and those were a hard sell at the time. They trunk opening was almost nonexistent and the fit and finish around the rear conversion left a bit to be desired. I agree that a good bright Red might have helped sell a few more.
  19. Beautiful looking build. Great concept, a Montemad. Looking at the rear and side windows, interested how and what you used there. I like how you created the tailgate.
  20. Very nice looking Type 1, I like the warmed over engine. The Trailer turned out great. I enjoyed watching all of the detailing you put into this.
  21. OOOO NOOOOO, That's me as a child, and things haven't changed much even today.
  22. Outstanding weathering and ageing on this build. Looks just like an old work truck in 1:1.
  23. Your correct, that is a Mustang. I'm surprised that I didn't notice that until after you pointed it out. I guess I was just looking at the colors. The Dash should have tipped me of also.
  24. Great looking stance and color. You may have learned a valuable lesson with the purchase of this built up kit. Just like in the 1:1 world the seller will often tell you what ever you want to hear just to get you to by what ever used object they are selling. At least you were able to make a very nice build out of what you got.
