  1. Outstanding paint job, and the Decals really stand out. Something about the shape of the 3 series with the fender flares that I really like.
  2. Great finish on your builds. Nice paint jobs and nicely detailed trim. I don't think I have ever seen the Dodge Phoenix or the Plymouth Wagon kited before. They must be Resins. I really like the Phoenix.
  3. Great looking build. I would never have thought to combine that exterior and interior color combination, but with the green side stripes it looks perfect together.
  4. Thanks for the info. At $125000 it's a little rich for my blood, but it sure looks like it would be fun.
  5. "Raggarbil" ? I love the terms used by people from different parts of the planet for the same thing. Looks like a well worn T-Bird.
  6. Very nice looking builds. I like the '64 Ford.
  7. They are all great clean looking builds. I really like the '60 Ford Starliner and the Buick. The CHP Mustang still makes me nervous when I look at it.
  8. I also watched your build on this. Great body modifications and I like the "wood" storage lockers in the bed. The rear window conversion worked perfect with the sliding rear window.
  9. Very interesting build. I'll have to keep an eye on this.
  10. I like your build on this. I'm not familiar with this type of racing up it looks like it would be very interesting.
  11. They all look great and you're trying many different subjects in your builds. The fit finish and paint are all dead on.
  12. For a slow year you sure put out a lot of great looking builds with a wide verity of subjects.
  13. They are all beautiful. They are like children, how do you say which is your favorite? Can you say Charger ?
  14. I like the interior color treatment, and the engine detailing looks great. The paint job really stands out, very smooth and shinny.
  15. What ever problems you may of had with the parts fitting it doesn't look that way. Very nice and all the trim lines up as it should.
  16. Very nice and correct looking CHP Mustang. At the time these cars first went into service I was living in Sacramento Ca. There was a CHP training facility in the area and they would often have different paint treatments that they would try. These cars would often show up as what was called a "Slick Top" having no Light Bar and painted white or silver. You had to really look in your rear view mirror for the black Spot Lights as that was about the only outward difference in appearance. In California it was common practice for the CHP to sit at the top of the on ramps to the highway and watch for speeders. They would often use the Slick Tops for this. You always kept an eye in the sky for a light Piper Cub type plane running a couple of hundred feet over the freeway. The plane acted as a spotter and would radio ahead to the cars on the on ramp as to which cars were speeding. I have seen as many as six cars lined up at the top of the off ramp waiting. They moved onto the highway with what looked like Military procession and would pick off the speeders. Trust me the morning commute on I-80 was like a gauntlet every morning. I really like how your build turned out and I still don't see how far off the proportions of the roof are. These cars always looked like the top was to tall to my eye anyway. If you should ever build another try making a Slick Top, they still had the door markings and the lights in the rear window.
  17. I can only see the first three pictures but they look great. The rear Carb. just does fit into the Fare Wall. l

    My 2017 Output

    Beautiful looking builds. The Cosmo is an unusual kit. The Olds really turned out great. Always enjoy looking at Muscle Cars.
  19. Looks perfect, Jim ought to love this. I followed your build and liked how resourceful you were using parts from different kits and the modifications to bring it all together.
  20. I think that if the body is the only part that isn't straight I would do the body alone and see how things line up afterwards.
  21. Very sharp looking wagon,
  22. I have always enjoyed your build style. You always add just something very small to the trim but really adds to the look of the model. The '47 with all of the extra trim, skirts and visor with an unusual color. The Ford Wagon with a different hood ornament and the Ranch Wagon trim on the tailgate instead of the rear quarters and the rear view mirror mounted out on the fender which Ford did at that time. The Riviera really doesn't need anything at all. Very strong looking Charger, it's got to have a Hemi. The Corvair looks better than any I recall. I like the stance and wheels. The Yenko looks perfect. I would like to see more of the Orange Foose truck and the El Camino.
  23. They both look great. The Grand Prix is not an often seen build. As nice as the Cobra Jet is, and it is, I like the paint and color on the Grand Prix.
  24. Mt favorite shade of Blue. Very nice clean looking build and great photography.
  25. Very nice looking quickie. I like the tire tread detail that so many over look.
