    '64 Impala

    Looks like you got it figured out. The open door looks just like the 1:1.
  2. Very creative Dash Board, and the seats should look great.
  3. I would like to see the '48 Ford offered in this type of format.
  4. This reminds me of so many vehicles that I saw growing up in the 'burbs of Chicago. I would visit an uncle who lived in Detroit and it was even worse there. After spending most of my life in different parts of California I can really appreciate just how hard it is to keep a vehicle nice in the "Rust Belt".
  5. So the great state of Illinois thinks your company is not in good standing ?? You might remind this yahoo that Illinois is just about bankrupt and your company is likely more financially stable than his state.
  6. I noticed some great bargains also. '50's and '60's trucks people are paying "stupid money" for and there are just a ton of clones. I think it all has to do with your "Fantastic Economy."
  7. I would outline the area as best you can with some tape to protect the body. Then with a #11 blade slowly outline the molding until the parting line from the body is very distinct. Since the area will be painted at some point I would make the line deep, and do the same on all of the "chrome" body trim. This way when it's time to foil or paint the trim you will have an easy to see separation line.
  8. I saw your build pictures, this turned out very nice. Looks just like a brand new truck ready to go into service.
  9. Very nice and I like the Michigan style lower rockers weathering. Just a thought on the 5 lug wheels. There are a lot of '57 Chevy Black Widows out there that lost there 6 lug wheels.
  10. Congratulations, both builds look excellent.
  11. Still waiting impatiently for this kit locally. I also like the interior seat finish. Is this from a kit decal?. I think it looks period correct.
  12. Outstanding build, very real looking. I agree with the others, the Houndstooth seat inserts really makes the interior standout.
  13. Very nice looking Mustang. Look forward to seeing what all you do with the '57.
  14. Always thought the Larks were kinda cool looking anyway, but with that paint job it really looks outstanding. The shape of the roof looks almost as if it could have been a convertible top at one time. Makes you wish it was real.
  15. Always great to build a replica of your own car or one you used to have. Great looking Mustang by the way. With just a few minor body fitment issues it looks like you just about have it ready to go together. The nice thing is you have the prototype right there in the driveway if you need any additional detail information.
  16. Great contemporary looking build. Very nicely detailed. I like the wheels better than some of the Mags you normally see.
  17. I'm not familiar with this kit, but it looks like a fun build. Lots of great detailing really make it stand out.
  18. Very nice clean build. Are the trunk lid emblems photo etched or raised plastic ??
  19. If you are looking for a fairly accurate 2 x 4 setup you just need to look at the original issue two door from Revell. The optional 2x4 set up is their with the correct Holly carbs.
  20. Great looking wagon. In the photo of the driver's side the rear quarter panel under the Country Sedan logo looks like it may need some additional work. It may just be the photo.
  21. You should be proud of both of these 40's. The earlier build could be a "Day two" build.
  22. I think your daughter has a very creative mind. The paint job isn't something I would have thought of, but you just can't stop looking at it. If she can came up with all this at 9 years of age I think you two are going to have a lot of fun together at the work bench in the future.
  23. Great looking build. This style is far more interesting than the stock MX5's you usually see.
  24. Truly amazing build. I have seen several processes that can be used on other builds also. Thank you for sharing. This is going to look "Killer" when done.
  25. I had almost forgotten about this build. Again , glad you're back at it.
