  1. Looks great. The wood trim turned out real nice.
  2. Great looking chassis. Good luck on the body.
  3. I hadn't been in a Michaels for over a year until Christmas shopping with my wife. The incense in there is over powering. I used to use their weekly 40% coupons along with the Hobby Lobby coupons. What I found was that the Michaels store would charge $2-$3 more going in. They have not kept their inventory current, but that could be because they have over priced their models. They are usually the most expensive price wise in the area. I think they have created their own problem.
  4. Unlike some others I got a fast response once I figured out how it works. I had a warped body on a '56 Chevrolet Nomad. I went too their web site and completed the information they requested on the form. I received an E mail acknowledgment , and then received another saying I had provided insufficient information and said to contact them on the next business day. I then received a third E mail telling me to send the original information and the Bar code from the box by mail. I was told to wait 2-3 weeks for the new replacement part. In about a week I received the replacement body, and it had a smoother finish on the body then the original. I think where the confusion on their web site is that what I thought was a form for ordering a replacement for a bad part is for some other type of order.
  5. They are all beautifully done. The GTO and the Impala are special for myself.
  6. Very impressive body modifications.
  7. Looks great and I love the color. Not sure about the wheel color, but that is a personal thing anyway. Looking forward to how this turns out.
  8. Great looking work combo. Very real looking weathering.
  9. Outstanding, It looks like you could jump in and drive away.
  10. I think Chevrolet made the standard cloth seats in the Camaro look like that so they could charge extra for vinyl seats. If they had used the "Houndstooth" cloth from the first generation Camaro it would look much better. That said this does look like the standard cloth pattern for that model year.
  11. All great looking builds. You have been busy.
  12. They all look interesting and I wondered what happened on your Merc. 4X4.
  13. Very nice. Was this type of 3 wheeler typical in Europe at one time ?
  14. Great looking Impala. The exhaust is typical of the early 60's.
  15. Nice clean build. I like how you did the interior colors.
  16. Very nice. I had forgotten how good the old Johan Mo Pars looked. I'm personally a Chevrolet lover from way back so enjoyed yours.
  17. They look great with a lot of personality to each one.
  18. They all look great. The Roll Back is very interesting.
  19. Very nice. Where did you get the Ford sedan body?
  20. Love the early hot rods and dragsters.
  21. They are all done so well, it's hard to pick one as the best. But about that shinny Olds, WOW.
  22. Great builds, all very real looking.
  23. Beautiful builds. Not a subject seen very often. Great detail and colors.
  24. Really like your '09 Jeep JK. But it still has some parts from over there. The '10 Charger was built in Canada and has a maple leaf on every part you can see. My wife's new '14 Dodge Avenger was assembled in Sterling Heights Mi, with an engine built in Mexico. 76% U.S./Canadian parts content according to the window sticker. You have to remember that the old Chrysler Corp. is now a part of Fiat of France. All very confusing.
  25. Looks good so far. Back in the day a lot of guys would use a '56 Ford pick-up grill. You may or may not want the V8 emblem. The grill has a little bit of a "hood" over the head lamps. If you use the custom grill with the canted quad head lamps, you might try trimming and bending the front fenders to match.
