  1. Beautiful looking truck. I noticed the rear bumper is upside down. Don't know if that is the way you wanted it or not.

    My 2016 Builds

    Productive year and beautiful builds.
  3. Beautiful builds. Your use of color and the finish on the paint jobs are amazing.

    41 WILLYS

    The paint is outstanding, and I love the color. Domed hood is different, but necessary to clear the engine.
  5. Those helmets are just to cool.
  6. Very nicely built. I like the attention to the under hood detailing. Many builders miss the different textures on the fittings
  7. Turned out very nice.
  8. You got several finished and they look perfect. I have never seen the '53 Corvette kit look that good before.
  9. Excellent lighting and photography. This really complements your beautiful builds. The Oldsmobile photo looks like something out of a dealers advertisement.
  10. Beautiful builds. I really like the Mustang and the Race Team.
  11. I was ordering the inventory for the Chevrolet dealer I was working for at that time. We never stocked the Scooter, but as I recall the back seat was an option as was the radio, right side visor, and the glove box door. They flooring was a black rubber mat not even as nice as what they used in the base pick ups. I also think that it was offered in just two colors, white and a beige. The interior was a slightly darker shade of tan and was all vinyl. Mark is correct about the flat silver painted bumpers and grill. The Scooter emblems were stickers and not any type of molding. Might make a great pizza delivery vehicle. Not even tinted glass.
  12. Excellent restoration.
  13. Great looking build, I like the lace roof paint.
  14. Saw this episode several years ago. He was redoing the Europa for a friend who didn't have the time or the money at the same time. We've all been there , the only problem is that we aren't Chip's buddy. He did a great job as always.
  15. After thinking about it I may get burned for not being PC. I wasn't really trying to be a smart *** about it, it just came out.
  16. Beautiful build of a much under appreciated car.
  17. Beautiful Nova. I wouldn't worry about the paint it looks perfect. I like the way you put just a little road grime under the hood and on the chassis.
  18. This blob on the frame is still confusing. This seems to be on the body side of a frame cross member on the drivers side, this is why I thought it may be a body mount of some sort. The suggested water and electrical line going under the passenger side very well could be a heater. Some post WWll GM cars that I have owned had the heater under the passenger seat and a separate heater core under the dash for the defrosters, let me tell you they worked great. I just purchased the '47 coupe and the instructions show the interior floor boards attaching to the cross member and the floor boards in the kit have a mounting point molded into the bottom that would line up with the frame blob.
  19. For obvious safety reasons I also don't like a model that could roll away unattended. Now if you like to move the model around and make engine noises and screeching tire sounds that is up to you.

    My 2 for 2016

    I enjoyed watching both of these builds. They both look perfect.
  21. I like all the body work on this. By combining all these different elements makes a very mean looking Mustang.
  22. Really neat looking truck, I like the tires in the bed, great touch.
  23. Each and every one is outstanding. The detailing on the Drag cars especially .
  24. Is the circular thing you mentioned possibly a body mount ? Does it line up with anything on the bottom of the floor of the body ? Other than that I'm with you, what is that ? The dash board looks amazing.
