I spent far too many years in the car business. Mainly issues with the owners of dealerships is what got me to retire early. Still have PTSD flash backs every now and then.

I just lost my appetite.

Still buying Boars Head Ham in the KC area with no issues. When this all came out it was, and I'm guessing still is, mainly in the eastern seaboard states. The local markets have signs up in their delis mentioning that their meats are not part of the problem. May apply to a local meat distributer in the East. Got some in the refrigerator now and this has me thinking it is about time for a ham sandwich anyway.

Like the way you did the consol.

By the license plate frames and the dealership signage bolted to the trunk lid this car had to have spent some time in Lost Wages Nevada.

I'll bet they read a lot of Tom Sawyer stories growing up.

Great color and finish. Like the way you did the body chrome. Veery clean looking build.

Great looking body conversion and the paint finish and colors.

Great looking color and finish along with the bumper chrome. Like the stance and MoPars just look right with Crager Wheels.

Beautiful looking paint and vinyl roof. The upgraded body trim really ads to the appearance. The interior and engine detailing is realistic looking. Like the American wheels.

I agree with everyone else on the roof changes. In most of the pictures it looks like the AMT Bel Air roof section, but in the painted body pictures it looks like you changed the design to match the Cads OEM roof with the little kink in the drip rail.

A lot of rebuildable old relics. That '57 Ford De Rio Wagon would make a great starting point.

Well, it was some time ago so with inflation $20 might not be out of line now.

Check around on web sites for wheels and supplies. Years ago, I put a set of bow tie style emblems with a peel and stick backing for the centers on a set of GMC wheels. Tire rack comes to mind, but I really don't remember now, but they cost around $10 for a set of four.

Perfect side window treatment. The interior almost looks too nice for the exterior.

Thanks Harry. The kit has very nice tight mountings for both the front and rear assemblies. I used Tamiya Gray Panel line paint.

Beautiful looking dark blue color and finish, looks much like a shade that Chevrolet offered. Like the stance and the SS style wheels.

Beautiful looking finishes everywhere you look on this. Saw the frustration this build put you through in your WIP, but you won.

Beautiful looking color and trim. The interior is well detailed. Like the showroom look.

Great looking squad car. Like the paint work and the decals for BHPD. Need a raggedy looking blue Nova with Michigan tags to go along with this.

I spent many years living in southern and central coast areas of California. You could almost tell when a car had spent a lot of time near the beach areas as the onshore breezes would bring in the fog and anything sitting outside would deteriorate much faster than a car that was even a couple of miles inland. The only place I have ever seen anything eat cars worse was on a vacation to Maui. The cars on the western side of the island would deteriorate faster than the cars on the eastern side.

Great looking Cabover. Like the realistic looking paint color and finish.

Great looking HD Truck. I also remember seeing many dually conversion trucks years ago before manufacturers started offering them. The weathering is realistic looking, and the camper and camper mirrors are perfect.

Great aggressive looking Monte. Like how you did the interior and suspension to match the look of the engine.

Great looking color and finish. Like the engine and clean detailing. Too bad it got rained on.
