  1. That's the correct attitude on this kit. Like you I built and enjoyed several of these thru the years. Other than the side trim being a little guffy it is still a great kit and still looks good when built.
  2. AMT had a kit of a 1976 Caprice coupe that has been reissued a few times. This kit would give you the general body style to make an Impala. The kit includes a Big Block engine but that can be changed if your parents had the more common 350 cu. in. engine. The one I have is an RC2 issue from 2006. The kit also happens to have a single axle car trailer as a bonus. Hope that will help you tp make the Impala.

    GT-R Z-Tune

    Great looking build. I like the paint treatment.
  4. Very impressive group. I like to study each one and see all of the detail that went into them. Something about the B/Gas '55 Chevy that really resonates with me.
  5. Great clean building style. I remember the '55 build. Great weathering on the Armored car. The Motorcycles look like they would be a great challenge and they all look perfect. The '632 Impala makes me want to sing the song, that just what they looked like. Now that El Camino, I would like to see more of that one.
  6. Your '57 Ford looks like the perfect grocery getter in 1957. I remember seeing LUV trucks just like this back in the day. I'd like to see what's under the hood on that Charger. I like the style of your A Hot Rod. Where did the body for this Jeep come from? That looks like a fun build. Hard to beat a Corvette with a blower. Great looking Bel Air cruiser.
  7. Great looking Big Rigs. That Hot Rod A is really well done. I remember watching your '57 Sedan Delivery build, nice to see it again also.
  8. Remarkable Fabrication on your build. I just saw a small picture of the 1:1 car in the February issue of Street Rodder and you are dead on in your build.
  9. John, I enjoy where you're going with this and what ever you my choose to call it. I have this kit but never got around to building it. Now that I see what you are doing with your build, and especially with the Hot Rod 4 Banger, I'm looking forward to watching this come together.
  10. The chassis looks like the real deal.
  11. The Surgery on the front end went well. That is a great deal of body work and the fact that you didn't have anymore problems than you did shows you know what you're doing. The wiring and plumbing for this will be intensive, look forward to watching your build.
  12. Thank you for pointing out the error in spelling. I'm trying to override my Spell Check on the Computer but it seems to have a mind of its own. I apologize if my remarks offended you or others in regards to a particular age group. I think if you reread what I posted, not just the first sentence, I think you might better understand that what I was saying was in defense of this age group that was being criticized by others. Now I see that others are also pointing out very similar experiences. Again, I agree with this being about "Stupid People" but without trashing a group in its entirety
  13. I like the variety of subjects you built. They are all well done and the Trans Am made me smile.
  14. They are all great looking builds. I'm partial to the '69 Camaro, nice job on the Splitter.
  15. Outstanding fit and finish. Very realistic looking.
  16. Great looking Thunder Bolts and the '60 Sunliner is not often done. Was the Sunliner based on the Revelle Starliner ?
  17. Nice clean looking build. You put a lot of work into this based on what you had to start with but it was all worth it.
  18. Super nice build. I agree with you, the Green Metallic/Saddle combination likes timeless. Excellent engine and interior detailing.
  19. I like your creativity on these different versions of the Cobra. The Corvette Split Window Roof idea is very different.

    2017 Builds

    Very nice, I like your different types of Competition builds.
  21. You had a big year it looks like. I liked the Big Rigs. I remember the V-12 Pontiac and the '34 Chevrolet especially.
  22. Beautiful builds. I was wondering about the '66 SS396, it looks like it may be one of the early Monogram kits. I think the Camaro Spoiler on the Firebird looks better than what Pontiac had. The Yenko Die Cast turned out great.
  23. I think with the Quad Headlights it fills the Grill Opening and reduces the size of the Grill so that neither feature dominate the appearance of the front of the model.
  24. Great Fabrication on the Motor Mounts and the Suspension. I like your Intake Manifold design.
  25. Great looking Wheels and Tires and the Chrome Knock Offs set it off perfectly. I like the stance and the way the Tires tuck up into the Wheel Wells.
