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 ?

I hate to tell you what the bed would have looked like if I tried removing the wood as you did. Your cross bracing looks very much like the 1:1 beds. I also like your stain color.

While most think of this kit as a clunker including myself. What you accomplished has really captured the "Look" that you described and all of the basic kits disproportioned body just disappears. I like the color combination, it almost looks like a color combo Chevrolet might of offered in '56.

What can I say that hasn't already been said. This is an outstanding build. I like that you showed what you did to the grill area and the chassis. Your diorama and background setting in the pictures really adds to the realistic look of your build. I really liked the interior also.

I agree on the Cragars. They were the go to wheel for MoPars at that time, and they look great anyway.

Great looking bed floor. Needless to say it looks like real wood.

The 1:1 looks like a real terror on the road. This should be a fun build. I'm working on somewhat of the same idea. I'm putting a Corvette LS engine and rear mounted trans./diff. in the back of a '69 Corvair.

If they're going after the Ants I would leave them alone. I personally thought your Green Beetles thing was tongue in cheek and funny anyway.

Very nice clean looking build. These cars always look better with the Hi Impact colors.

So you're using Insects now instead of picnic spoons to try paint colors ?

Now that's funny in a morbid way.

I agree with the cinnamon idea. Looks like the chassis was in a very wet environment for a long time. I have not done a torn vinyl roof but I have seen a few here on the forum that look good. Remember these cars didn't have any padding to speak off and were glued to the roof directly. The old cars I remember in 1:1 with a torn roofs the under side looked like an off white and the glue residue seemed to be a dull yellow color. Maybe sanding a small section smooth and some paint treatment might be worth trying. Another thought is that many of these tops would start coming apart along the seems and that might even be a more realistic idea. I think I would try something on the old picnic spoons first but that's just me. Look forward to what all you do to this build.
