I guess there is a limit on how many pictures one can load at one time, so here is a few more pictures.

This is an annual event, and the turnout is amazing especially since a neighboring town has their car show on Friday as part of their town's annual celebration.

I wasn't happy with the way my first build of this kit turned out. After disassembly and primer, it went back into the box for a few years as I was moving. Found it while looking for models to sell at a swap meet and thought some else could do something with it. Lot of lookers but no buyers even for $10. So, I'm taking a second swing at this one.

the legend lives on from the chippewa on down

Hi Steve. The Greatlakes Shipwreck Museum is in Paradise Mi. near the Whitefish Point Lighthouse. Looking on the net it shows an address of 18335 N. Whitefish Point Rd. with a phone of 888-492-3747. The site I went into showed that they are open daily from 9 am to 5 pm. Like I said we found it while on vacation several years ago on our way back from the Mackinaw Island area. -
Like the base model with the day-2 look. Great paint color and finish. Clean chrome trim. Great chassis detailing and unique stock interior pattern.

Good that you contacted your game warden friend as another form of wildlife, or even a dog or cat, might have eaten them and maybe have been poised themselves.

There is a museum in the UP, upper Michigan, dedicated to the Coast Guard and of course the Edmond Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, it is not located on the way to anywhere it seems, but well worth visiting and extremely well done and enlightening into how life was at the time. -
Should buy him an adult beverage as a sign of gratitude for cleaning your car. Bird droppings can do major damage to a paint finish that even the best paint sealants may not be able to prevent.

Great looking paint finish and like the roof treatment. The wheels look perfect for this. Great storied history surrounding these cars. -
All of your extra efforts really paid off with the appearance of this build. Beautiful paint finish and color.
-
Great looking paint finish and with those wheels this looks just like the Hot Wheels car.
-
Like the full fender'd look and the black paint. Cragar's look good with the white letter tires.
-
Great looking AMX in Bad Boy Blue. Like the wheels and tires.
-
Great save on the chopped roof redo. All the other body work and paint look nice and smooth.
-
Great looking paint finish and color. The engine is really well detailed. Always enjoyable to build a model of a past ride and all the good memories that they seem to bring to mind.
-
Great paint finish and the contrasting vinyl roof looks good. Clean body trim.
-
Great paint finish and the dark blue looks good. Chrome foil can take a while to get comfortable with.
-
Great looking paint finish and color. The wheels compliment the build style.
-
Like the roof paint design. Unfortunately, the paint issues may have to do with a mix of brands of paint or even Enamel paint and Lacquer paint interaction. Nice cleanly done engine compartment and the air ride trunk equipment.
-
Beautiful looking smooth paint finish and clean body trim. Like the Cutlass style trim.
-
Great looking paint color and stripes.
-
Great attention to stock detailing and finishes. The way you modified the original kit body and interior shows just how good these looked when new and not modified. Nice commercial type paint color and a finish better than GM would have produced at the time. This and your maroon delivery are both show worthy.
-
Beautiful paint finish and trim. Like how you detailed the engine compartment.
-
Great looking high metallic paint and smooth finish. Like the matching interior colors.
