I hope someone will be able to share pictures for those of us unable to attend.

Looks like a nice Street Rod. I like the Wheels and Tires. The warmed over inline six is great. With a couple of short Glass Packs these sound like a Jaguar under acceleration.

Very nice especially for an early build. Pepto Bismol Pink is an interesting color.

Beautiful looking Caddy. Excellent detailing on both the interior and body trim. Those cars were so big I always thought the owners should have a Commercial Drivers License to operate one.

While I personally wouldn't build in this style I can't help but admire the creativeness in these builds. Very interesting to look at how everything comes together in a very believable way.

Very interesting builds. Combined with your Camaros you have a lot going on on your work bench.

Going to watch this. I had a '69 Camaro in Hugger Orange with the standard Black Vinyl interior for a total of 18 years. I was the second and fourth owner. The 1:1 car was great and Revell's Camaro kit is really nice with endless possibilities much like the real ones.

You have very good taste in automobiles. I'll bet that 40 years ago he thought he paid to much for this car. Time has proven this to be the best retirement plan and he got to enjoy it for the last 40 years.

Beautiful looking truck I like all the little custom touches on this.

Very clean looking Sport Truck. I like that style of truck and your paint and interior look great together.

Outstanding rebuild on this little S10. The extra details with the license plate and the bed cover shocks add to the realistic look. I could see owning a 1:1 version of this. Great tutone paint job.

In addition to the smooth decal application I like the tire detailing, that must have been hard to do.

Outstanding details thru out. The JP Livery has always looked good . I'm most impressed with the engine and chassis detailing and wiring. I look forward to seeing your other Volvos.

You would never know from looking at it now that the body had been broken. Your paint and trim really make this a standout.

Great paint and body. The engine transplant looks perfect. To bad it's so hard to see the interior with all the effort on the detailing there.

For a single four barrel manifold you might look for an old AMT '58 Impala kit as it offered several carb. setups. The '61 Impala from round 2 would be another source. The Revell '62 Impala kit would offer the best 348 engine with a single 4 barrel and a manual transmission. The Impala SS has the duel Quads so look for the Impala kit. Your engine and transmission combination reminds me of a friend from long ago who had a very similar car. His was a '60 Impala with the 348 four barrel and a column shift 3 speed. Most of the 348 cars I remember from that time were 4 speed cars. Hope this info can help you with your build.

Great looking tail lights. The thing to remember about the AMT Impala is that it was designed and produced a LOOOONG time ago and that was the way they were modeled at that time. What you have created is much more the current way that the model companies are doing it. Yours are well done.

Nice looking tow tone color combination.

Very interesting looking body. I would lower and enlarge the rear window . The way it is now it looks like a sun roof for the rear package tray.

That is kind of what I had in mind as I has the convertible but I'm not intending to build a convertible. I just bought it since it was out there and you just don't know for how long.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that. While a little more intensive body work maybe just graft the '56 front end and the rear quarters to the '55 body. You would still have to creat the correct side trim, but after the body work that should be easy.

Beautiful looking build. I enjoyed watching this come together. Your color choice is one of my favorite, I presently in a rehab program to help me stop using that color on my builds for a while.

Great looking Hot Rod. I like the roll pan on the rear and the front bumper looks like you flipped it. Were the Fog/Driving Lights in the kit or did you make those ? I liked seeing your other members builds also.

I have to agree with you on the Revell '57 Nomad. These were very handsome cars and deserve a little love. I have one of the old Revell Nomad wagon kits but have been put off by the shape of the body. I have a '56 Nomad body and have thought of combining it with one of the Revell '57s. Your idea of using the Revell '55 hardtop roof on the '56 Del Ray would be a perfect fit with a little side trim change. I followed your '59 Impala build and this switch might even be easier than that build, which wasn't easy, but turn out beautifully.

Been checking locally and the "You All Marts" here aren't caring them.
