  1. Very nice build. This was a very important car for Ford racing at the time. I first saw them at the Winter Nationals in Pomona, more than a few years ago. The only thing that looks a bit off would be the grill. It looks almost like it tilts downward in the center. They may have been this way or that's the way Revell did them. It really doesn't detract from your build thou.
  2. Amazing, it looks just like the show car.
  3. A very touching and sad . I'm sorry for your personal loss of a good friend and colleague.

    Well see I knew that they had several different names. I just never realized that they different shades. You seem more knowledgeable on the subject.
  5. The Resin body is very nice, except for the rear window. Your father has a really solid body to work with on his build.
  6. Very nice minimalist looking Hot Rod.

    Very nice OOB build. Amazing what can be done with a little attention to painting detail under the hood. The color Maroon went by different names at different times. Honduras Maroon is probably the best known name. The other name I recall was Marlboro Maroon. Not sure if there was any difference in the color, just marketing. Either way it looks great.
  8. Great looking chassis so far.
  9. I'm a big fan of the '57 Ford wagon. Since it is more of a custom cruiser type I have to agree with the chrome reverse wheels. If your going to more of a Low Rider look then the Astro Supreme wheels might look better. The Broncho looks good also. I might try one some day but its not the type of vehicle that I build normally.
  10. I think it looks great and I like the back dating idea on this. As mentioned the wheel wells shouldn't be hard to do with a little sheet plastic if you haven't already planned on that. Very nice surf board rack.
  11. Have you checked their site listed under After Market/Resin ? They have pictures and part numbers of everything they make. This may help.
  12. Beautiful build. It does look exactly like the box picture.
  13. Another beauty. How long have you been saving these up ??
  14. Unbelievable build. I have been looking at some of you builds and they look almost like 1:1 cars. Are you maybe involved with Hot Rod fabrication ?
  15. Perfect build. The way you chopped the top it looks like it was cast that way. The side blisters for engine clearance look perfect. I enjoyed looking at your build pictures, shows what all it took to put this together.
  16. Another one of your beautiful builds. The colors really make it standout, not to mention the extended wheel base. Now I understand your vision.
  17. Beautiful clean build. Has the perfect "look" .
  18. Beautiful build. I'm sure your Uncle will love it no matter what.
  19. Your build looks great. I like the chrome trim, is it foil or did you use a pen??
  20. I feeling is that anyone that thinks $8 is to much doesn't have a firm grip of reality. If anything I don't see how you can cover your real expenses at $8.
  21. Great information. I have a question on the green coupe. The one photo shows a glimpse of the tuck and roll interior. Was this the kits interior or what did you use ??
  22. The way the tops have been blended together is amazing. Outstanding workmanship. This is a must watch build.
  23. Very nice looking trucks. I kind of a Dodge guy over the Ford, but it looks great. What kind of screen did you use for the grill ?? I'm looking for ideas for this on a future project.
  24. Very nice build. The Snake Decals are really neat looking.
  25. They are both beautiful. The green RS looks like the Rally Green color. Like so many others who have owned Camaros, these cars bring back many good memories.
