Congratulations on the well deserved award. I also would like to see more.

No faults with this one. I personally really like that color and only saw a few Chevrolets that color long ago. The paint finish is outstanding and the interior matches perfectly.

Off to a good start. It looks like you found one of the earlier reissues with minimal flash on the body.

Great looking color combo. The body finish is very smooth and the interior has just the right amount of shine to the "vinyl".

That's like the ones I remember. A little story. Just before turning 16 and on the look out for a car, any car, there was a used car dealer that sold old ambulances, lemos, and hearses. I saw a couple of old flower cars there and I wanted one in the worst way. These were '47 and '48 year models and the time frame was spring of 1959 in the burb's of Chicago. My getting any car was not in my father's plans anyway and you can imagine what he thought of the Flower Car idea.

The only Flower Cars I remember were more like an El Camino style Hearse. They would be open behind the driver and the flowers would be displayed in the bed.

Great looking build. I like the "Dare to be different" engine choice.

It looks like you already had a very nice looking build going in. I'm glad to see you got the front tires centered in the opening. This is a problem for the 1:1 truck also.

That's a lot of work but in the end it looks perfect.

Really turned out great.

Looks great. I think this is what they mean by making a "silk purse out of a pigs ear" . Great job on the wood graining, and I know of what you speak about Testers paint. Great colors but hard to work with. Does it ever really dry ??

Great looking Camaro, I agree with the others you should build the Mustang Police car so you could display them together.

Very clean build.

That's different alright, but cool different.

Another great build. So realistic looking.

I remember the magazine article you mentioned. This build is outstanding in every way you can think of. The parts you crafted look real in every way. I'd like to see any additional information you can share about the upholstery for the seats and door panels.

Ah the '60's. The frames and inner wheel wells were painted white. Even the interior pedal mechanisms were painted white. We used to call it "Sanitary", what ever.

Now that's a great idea for the axels.

I like the dash board. Are you making a Service Vehicle or a really big family Station Wagon ??

You might want to look in the After Market/Resin section on the Forum. There is a list of many suppliers who may have just what you're looking for, and maybe some items you didn't even realize that you needed.

Always keep some cash hidden in the house somewhere just in case of something like this. If banks get hacked or the power grid goes down how are you going to buy a beer when you need one, think about it. Like a Boy Scout be prepared.

I followed your build and everything you did to the appearance of the truck. As everyone else has pointed out you nailed it on the appearance. I liked going back and looking at all the little details, just amazing.

That looks fantastic ! I also like the "old school" look and if I can clear my work bench this will be next.

Very nice looking build. To bad about the lost parts.

I enjoyed following your build on this coupe. It looks perfect. Man that paint , wish I could get a Black paint job to look like that.
