Beautiful build. I'm an Orange paint fan but your Coral finish looks good. I like the exhaust tips, should make a nice Snap Crackle Pop when you back off the throttle. Did you take liberties with the tail lights or is that the way they are kitted ??

Turned out great. I enjoyed following your rebuild on this.

One of my all time favorite kits, especially the way you described building it. I wonder how many Mason Jars could fit in the back of that ??

I like your idea for your build. I'm really impressed with what I have seen of the interior decals. This will be my next build, this kit has so many possibilities.

Nice build, I like the windshield wipers. They look better than what you usually see in a kit.

Your job on the plates make it that much cooler.

Great looking build and the paint is outstanding.

I have seen people pay more than $9.99 at shows for the remains of a kit such as this. If you need the parts for a project and the price seems right to you than go for it. The parts are worhth what someone is willing to pay for them.

Great build, it looks just like the 1:1 Corvette.

Great looking build. I'm not familiar with the Fallout Games theme but the color combination looks great. Nice crisp color separation. Question, the body kings shoe the Boston Division but you have California license plates.

Rusty makes a important point about body prep. You hadn't mentioned what primer you used on the body. With a light color such as Yellow you would want a White primer as it would make the lighter colors look brighter. For a dark colored body a Gray would work fine. I like to follow other builders as they go thru the process as I have learned a great deal from the other builders by doing so. As you have found out everyone wants to help you in anyway they can.

Very nice build. As others have mentioned a light wash on the grill and the hood vents would go a long way. You might want to try your hand at foiling the chrome trim on your next build, or get one of the Liquid Chrome pens to do the trim.

Very sharp clean build. Looks like it's on the new car showroom floor.

I like this a lot, makes me smile to look at it.

Your build is look'n great. While these are factory colors and interior and exterior combinations, I have always wondered what G.M. was thinking on some of these combinations.

Excellent detailing on the chassis. Look forward to seeing the rest of your build.

I bought one of these a couple of years ago. I have used it to store my extra tires. I cut pieces of card board and taped them to the inside creating a divider to separate different styles of tires. They make a great inexpensive way to store just about anything.

I was spoiled and didn't realize it at that time, I was living in southern California and Coors was the Brew of choice at the time.

Great colors and design.

What a great way to honor your friends who are no longer with us. You can look at these models and remember the good times you enjoyed with them. I can see how you might even feel their presence sometimes.

Is that young lady handing that lucky dog a can of "Rocky Mountain Cool Aid" ??

I have used a Q tip with just a touch of Tamiya thinner in the past. You might want to forgo using any blue tape for this reason. Tamiya tape is expensive but for a good reason.

Very nice looking truck. As others have pointed out many don't think of the commercial license plate for a pick up. I like the open wheel look better than the full wheel covers. Your under hood detailing looks dead on. Nice spark plug wires.

Looks great. I like this stance better myself.

Great looking build and I personally like that color of Blue and have used far to often myself. I'm in fact working on a '50 Olds but with a Resin fastback body. The base kit is the California Wheels addition and has some very nice pad printed Wide Whites. So that may be a place to look for better tires. Another option is to get the white walls offered by Pegasus. They also offer a narrow white wall with chrome wheels, sort of a late '50's too 60's look.
