Beautiful looking Jag. Like the original look and finishes. I was a youngster when I first saw a 120 on the showroom floor of a dealership not far from my grandparents' home just north of Chicago. I was dumb struck looking at it and had never even thought of anything outside of the Big-Three from Detroit until that day. Still makes your heart race a little looking at one like this.

Great pictures and show. Like seeing some body styles not seen that often, like the Studebakers, Henry J's, early MoPars, Willys Jeep Wagon, and American Motors.

Something interesting looking at the body. Notice that the roof looks as if it could be a separate part from the body. The top looks like it might have a couple of seams that would be present for a vinyl roof cover and the way it meets the windshield area. May have been a kit that could have been built as a hardtop or a convertible.

Dogs just want to have fun. My wife and I had a big yellow Lab that had more personable than many people. She would drive around in our El Camino and run errands, and the dog would sit next to her on the seat. The cleaners would give him a doggy biscuit at the drive thru window and the Wienerschnitzel would give him a hot dog or two for free, my wife had to pay for hers.

By reversing the way Ford usually did their two-tone paint treatments this seems even more eye catching. The paint finish and the two-tone margins all look very cleanly done.

Great looking paint color and finish. I noticed what looks like the muffler under the rear bumper, is that the way the kit comes? The Hemi engine looks good, but the carbs that the kit provides are a little lacking in detail. I agree with you on the steel wheels in the kit, they seem more like narrow front runners. You mentioned the Belvedere kit, and I had built one last year. That kit offers the same wheels but with an option of a wider rear steel wheel if you use the kits slicks. The stance along with the hood scoop on your build looks Drag Race ready.

Great looking low key paint color and finish. The big wheels and tire look good.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color and the interior colors work well with the body color. Clean looking engine details. Like the stance.

Beautiful looking paint finish and the interior color looks good against it. Like the engine and trunk detailing.

Great looking body color and cladding. Like the chunky looking tires.

Super smooth and glossy.

Great looking engine and like your solution for the chassis, or unibody whatever.

Knew a guy who had a septic tank service years ago. On the side of the tank on his truck he had painted a name for the truck, "Honey Dipper".

Would like to see 1/2-ton C1500 2-wheel drive with short bed configuration. These could be had with a step side bed or a fleetside bed. A four-wheel drive setup would make a good build option or even issued as a separate model. Revell has reissued their '73 and newer square body Chevrolet short step side with four-wheel drive so that is sort of already covered.

This color always looked great on Mustangs and your finish is nice and smooth. Clean body trim and the wheels give this a little more muscle.

Great looking paint color and finish along with the body trim. Like the engine detailing, carbs and wires with everything else under the hood looks correct. The last picture looks like you're going to build one in each color.

Like how you ran your plug wires. They may be hard to see in the finished engine room, but the OEM style of running the plug wires looks better than laying them cross the exhaust manifolds.

Are you even thinking about an inline engine?

Great looking mud splatter and the rear window wiper mark is a nice touch. Playing in the mud can be fun until it's time to clean up.

Great looking color combination and clean body trim.

Beautiful paint color and finish. The added engine detail enhancements look great. Like how you did the interior. Maybe someday Revell will reissue this kit.

Very rich looking paint color and finish.

Ya I know about these fad things. Glad you are getting to enjoy your daughters' company, and I was just poking a little fun. We have all been there at some time in our lives. Just makes me shake my head since they're paying a premium for ragged looking jeans compared to a nice new pair.

Great looking paint finish and color. Looks like you have the painting figured out. Clean body trim.

Like the Off-Road look of this. I have seen guys do the Line-X paint job on a few 1:1 Wranglers that see a lot of tight trails and they don't worry about the scraps from the brush. The brush guard looks good along with the lights.
