While I didn't happen to see the event you are discussing, I have seen instances on Mecum where the bidding was stopped or rolled back. I think some times the communications between the auctioneer and the floor person who is helping the bidder sometimes just goes wrong. I have no way of knowing just what happened here, but it is possible that happened. I do have think that the auctioneer has his mouth going at such a rate that they miss what the floor person is trying to tell them. As far as being insulting to the bidder, that is always a bad idea. Old motor mouth says something that he thinks is funny but at the embarrassment of the bidders. I have seen one or two of the auctioneers that are far more prone to this behavior than the others.

Nice tried looking work truck. I like your home made tail gate.

That looks so much better than the TV car.

Thank you for the pictures and information on the conversion. I have the roof from a Revell '56 Nomad and I'm trying to see what I could use it on and the '58 Impala was one of the models I was considering. I saw that the top fender line dropped toward the rear and now I know why.

I have to agree. The photoshopped pictures are interesting but should stand on their own. I like seeing all of the interesting vehicles out there that are real.

Beautiful looking build. I like the really smooth paint finish and color.

About 25 years ago when my mother passed away my sister and I gathered up all of her old family pictures and were dividing them between us. At that time my wife and I had only been married a few years and had never seen any pictures of myself in my teens and early twenties. She was looking over my sisters shoulder as she explained to her who each person was. A picture of myself as a young slim man with thick hair leaning against my convertible came up and she raised her voice and said "Who is that ?" . Well we all had a good laugh and I was told to grow may hair back and lose some weight.

I agree with you there. I just bought the new issue off the '62 Pontiac just because of the wheels and tires. I already have a half a dozen Catalinas now.

I have to agree with the interest in the FD-150. I knew I wanted to build a few since I have owned two different '56 Ford 150's at different times. Just went to the Heartland Nationals this weekend and you could not count how many there were and the different styles of build had one or more in almost every class. I saw a few Cadillacs but they were all done in different colors but each one was great looking. I hope with what all Revell is going through now we will still be able to get these to build in the future.

Outstanding body of work. Each build is unique and beautifully detailed. I also liked the '58 Nomad. I was wondering about what all you had to do to the rear fenders and tailgate area of the body. I see you reduced the taillights to just two per side and I think you may have had to do much more for the tailgate to fit the way you have done, especially with it being operational.

Great looking build. Your paint job looks perfect for the Hugger Orange that was so popular on these.

When you're young you are far more limber.

It has gotten so bad that I don't even answer the phone anymore unless I recognize the number or their name appears on the phone.

This would have to be Photoshopped. Think about the dimensions of the 1:1 pick up and the much smaller '69 Camaro. I like the "Pace Car" paint job .

I like the Camo paint job. The FI ? on the engine, is that part of the kit?

Your makeover turned out great.

Great looking picture. On a personal note, the ladies hair style is about what I remember my mother wearing at about this same time period..

AMT offered a '76 Caprice that would make a good basis for an Impala conversion. This has been reissued a number of times with and without a Car Hauler Trailer and they are out there at Swap Meets.

Very nice Chevelle. The color combination looks great.

Great looking Street Rod. The paint is outstanding. In one picture you can even see the light shinning from the fender on the body sides.

Great idea with the Headliner. A lot of work for something really seen, but it does look very realistic.

I started using my old pill bottles for making wheel tubs a long time ago.

I like the stance and the White understated exterior. The interior looks very nice also.

If you haven't already you should get to a good eye doctor. Your next step might be a good product safety attorney. Good luck with your sight.

Great looking parts hauler. What is the design on the rear fenders ?
