Great looking build. I'm not familiar with the Spirit model but remember a Surf model they offered at about that same time. Similar side stripe but with a Surfer in the stripe.

Well engineered chassis and drive train. Great paint and you almost don't notice the fenders. That would make a really fun 1:1.

Great looking build. I like the engine setup. It really looks like it has set by the shore all to often.

I really like the Flames. I usually can't say that, but these look different. Air Cleaner from a Mercedes maybe ?? Very cool build.

Great looking Rust O Rod. The headers remind me of a Calliope. I wouldn't worry about the spark plug wires. On 1:1 modified Chevy engines with headers it's common to use 90 degree boots and run the wires above the headers.

Very sharp clean build. As others mentioned with the photography it looks very realistic.

Beautiful build and an outstanding paint finish. I have always enjoyed this model also. I like the style in which you built this.

I'm not sure this would work, but Krylon has an indoor/outdoor paint called Corel Isle. It is close to the popular '55 Chevy color.

I would also like to build a few boat models. I think it all boils down to the economics of it all. First the model companies would have to make a profit. There are almost as many different boat companies as auto, well maybe a quarter, but each offers many different hull sizes and power plants. Now how do you figure out which ones to offer that will sell at a profit ??

Sorry to hear about the loss of your SAAB. I always thought they were an interesting car and looked better than the Subaru. That Volvo wagon should be a winner though.

All these thieves need is the number. They then reproduce a card that looks just like yours and go shopping. Last spring my wife and I were getting the spring plants for the yard at Lowes. Our card was shut down by the card company. It seems some one was have a great time at a spa in England on us. They realized it was fraud, but until we called in they said they were not sure. They issued us a new card and number and that was that.

Beautiful build. Looking at the finished model you would never know the challenges with the kit if you weren't familiar with it.

I like this a lot. The patina makes it look like a 5 or 6 year old car with little maintenance.

Great looking Gasser. Nice to see something that dares to be different.

Beautiful build. I don't remember the exact time frame, but Ford did offer a limited number of Mavericks in the states with a 289 V-8 toward the end of production here. Always enjoy seeing what was going on in other parts of the world.

Very nice clean looking build. I wouldn't beat myself up over any paint issues, If you didn't point out what you feel are faults most people wouldn't even notice.

Great job on the paint and I agree with everyone else, outstanding foil job. That is not an easy kit.

Great looking build. I did the same kit last year, red inside and out. Opening trunk was a little fiddly but other than that a great kit.

I'm not much of a Mustang guy, but I know a cool car when I see one. Reminds me of a sticker I saw years ago a guy had on his dash. "Sit down, hold on, and shut up".

Sorry all. I was thinking Special Edition in general and not Corvettes exclusively. If it were just Corvettes then the '58 and or '59 reissues would make sense. I think that they would need a new tool for any of the other C1 Corvettes. For C2's my personal favorite is the '67 Big Block, but any of them would work for me.

I went to see Cars #1 since I was curious. Cars #2 was alright but once is enough on that. I think they made a move called Ratatoy or something like that. I was about a mouse that goes to Paris and becomes a Chef. A lot of laughs in that one and the animation is even better than Cars.

I have used Meguiar's Plastic X polish on a couple of old kits that where molded in color. Polished by hand and they looked great. It also will restore your head light and tail lights to look like new. It will even work on a scratched instrument cover and a scratched plastic dash and console.

Great build. I think I have seen some of these on YouTube with people doing some very crazy things with them.

Great looking build. Nice main stream type car. A little black wash on the grill might help bring out the detail a little.

Great looking build. I also had a neighbor who had an earlier model Hudson. Never got to ride in it though. I used to remember all of the neighbors and what kind of cars they drove. A lot more fun than video games.
