  2. Great looking aviary of Thunderbirds.

    1969 wildcat.

    The Road Wheels and Redlines look great with the black paint finish.
  5. Great work with the body. The assembly issues with fit and finish on this kit has kept me from starting the one I have. Great paint finishes and color.
  6. I have always liked seeing Canadian cars and trucks. Most of the styling reminds me of a mild custom approach to what I would normally see in the US. Like the grill and rear end changes along with the side trim.
  7. Great sounding story and it does make sense since if he did run into something he would have a better chance to survive in such a truck compared to some econobox. Your usual great looking patina finishes throughout.
  8. Great looking model of the real car. The paint colors look the same and the chrome trim and body mods all look great.

    1966 Riviera

    Very bright green finish. Like the engine detailing and the colorful interior.
  10. Beautiful paint finish and color. The chrome body trim is all cleanly done. Like the engine and undercarriage detailing.
  11. Beautiful looking iconic car in the perfect setting.
  12. Like the suicide doors as well. I remember reading an article in Hot Rod long ago about someone chopping the top on a full size '40 and he remarked about how difficult it was to get the proportions to look right since there are so many different lines around the window and their shapes.
  13. Great looking paint finish and the colors reflecting the box art.
  14. Great looking paint finish and trim details. Like the way the chassis is done.

    72 Nova SS

    Great looking replica of her '72 Nova SS. Like the color combination and the deluxe body trim.
  16. West KC Metro area was in the 70's and breeze on Tuesday, down to mid 30's Wednesday and trying it's best to spit snow. Thursday we're in the mid 50's. One thing about Spring is the weather can be interesting no matter where you live.
  17. Beautiful paint color combination and the accurate looking colorful interior that Ford offered. Clean looking body trim.
  18. Great looking paint color and goes well with the contesting interior. Like how you did the detail painting of the engine and chassis.
  19. Matt's suggestion for a glue should be a consideration or something along that order. Another option that I have used is the old Future Floor polish. Also removing and foil from the small contact area where the window meets the body would also give whatever type of adhesive you use a better contact with the body. Les mentioned painting the edge of the glass black, and since the 1:1 car has a pronounced black rubber seal with a small chrome trim part in it that would be one way to do that.
  20. Similar problems at our local market as well. In addition to packaged pre-sliced cheese that was still in dated as good, but when opened had mold on the Swiss and some dusty white type of residue on the Chedder slices. Based on past experience this has to do with the market not maintaining what is called the "Cooled Chain". This is when the market does not keep the chesses properly refrigerated from when they receive the product and when it is put in the sales coolers.
  21. The rusted finish on the body looks great, but the interior details are what really caught my eye. The engine and chassis are both well done as well. The tread pattern on the tires is cool looking. Thank you for mentioning all the different parts used as it does give a formula for someone to follow.
  22. Beautiful looking paint finish and the white stripes set off the red paint well. Great detailing on the engine and interior. Like the Day Two look.
  23. Look around for the thinnest clear plastic you can find. I Have some sheets of clear that I got at an office supply store that could also be printed on, around the .010" thickness.
  24. Maybe use the original windshield as a dimensional guide to form a new windshield from thin clear plastic.
