  1. Looks like an interesting project. Unless you are 100% sold on the front wheels/tires, they look a little disproportionately large compared to the rear tires.
  2. This will be interesting. Are using the I beam axle in the photo to make a gasser ?
  3. Nasty dirty old work truck. Looks perfect.
  4. That turned out perfect. I have had one of these in the stash for years and every time I look at it I give up.
  5. They are all beautiful builds. Hope you and yours a great 2017 also.
  6. Great looking builds for the year. They are each special in their own way.
  7. Great looking build.
  8. Beautiful build, I like how you have setting on the green. Was that body hard to work with? I have thought of using one of their bodies for a build.
  9. Turned out beautiful, very accurate looking.
  10. Great looking build. I like the color, perfect for the era.
  11. I like the color a lot. Unusual to have candy red over a green base. Usually you see candy red over silver or gold base. Nice build.
  12. Great looking build. Is the seat pattern a decal or molded to the seat ? Very detailed looking steering linkage.
  13. Beautiful Cobras, look forward to the Monza build.

    my 2016 builds

    Beautiful builds and you have a wide building interest. The El Camino is special to since I have owned a couple 1:1's. The colors on the '32 and the Plymouth really wake you up when you first see them. The '64 Impala reminds me of a car one of my friends drove from back in the day. The big rigs are very impressive looking to say the least. Very productive year.
  15. Beautiful build. To bad the pictures can't show what you did on the interior. I'm using your idea on the seats on my next woody build.

    1969 Talladega

    Very nice paint and fit & finish on the front end. Always thought that Ford had a great looking body style with this model anyway
  17. Well built. Were the flared fenders from this kit ?
  18. Especially nice looking Chevelle. Great color.
  19. Retired early, I was 62, in 2005. My wife is younger than I and was a partner in her company and we thought we were in good shape with 401k's and money in the bank and the home almost paid for. Then "The great recession" changed a lot of that. Not crying the blues but things are not as planned now. I get to spend more time with my models, something that I hardly ever got to do much of when I was working. It is almost a full time job with the house upkeep both inside and the yard. I also take care of the mother-in-laws yard and home repairs. I think we will look for a smaller home a little further out of town next year so my wife can retire and we can live comfortably.
  20. I really like the way you built your '66 Mustang. The Mustang GT should look great, unusual plastic color on this kit.
  21. I have bought bodies from Steve when he comes to the Hartland Show at Overland Park Ks. in June every year. His display usually takes up an entire end of the swap meet area He's a great guy and is always helpful in getting you what you need.
  22. Check with Pegasus wheels & tires. That would be a start but I'm sure that there are many others. Checkout the After Market section on this site, there are many very good suppliers there and you would be amazed at what you can find.
  23. The beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that there may be more people that like the '65 GTO than don't. Those wheels would complement almost any vehicle, but then I am prejudice on the wheels and the GTO. Pegasus offers similar wheels, but are used with only very low profile tires. While have used them and really like how they look, they don't always work with say a '60s thru '70s type build. So to have something like this with say a 60 or 70 series aspect ratio tire would be great in my humble opinion
  24. Beautiful build. Great looking go any where over anything type truck.
  25. Great looking Blazer. Your dad may be a hard act to follow.
