Its like Burger King, he gets to do it his way. Looks good to me.

You realy got this one right. Looks just like the 1:1 El Camino. Great job.

That's going to be peerty.

That came out great. I like the color and the way it sits.

Like it a lot. The rear stripe almost makes the rear look like it was extended aft of the rear wheel wells.

Man this came out nice !! Out standing work on this.

I like this "look" or style, what ever you want to call it. If I had the funds this would be in my driveway 1:1 scale.

Looks like its been ridden hard and put away wet. An old horse term, but it sure fits. Like the wethering on this, good build.

Stay with this one. Looks cool.

Nice save on this. You might even try and see if you can get your hands on the 1:1 Falcon. It looks sound , and I can't remember the last time I saw one of these.

NIce build ! On your grill issue, I had a 1:1 '69 Camaro for 18 years, I bought it from the original owner. It was a standard model, nothing fancy about it. The grill was as flat silver color. The '69 Camaros could be had in so many trim leveals that it is hard to tell what was right on it. As I remember the COPO cars were the base model with all the factory hot rod parts they could throw at at. Very good detail work on this.

I like your sedan idea for this.

Like the stans. What era are you thinking for your build ? I have not built the AMT '40 in many years, but I do remember that it was a great kit. Always heve loved the these Fords.

This is slick. Did you get to talk to the owner ? I'd like to know how he got that finish.

Looks real good. How were you thinking to cut off the tutone? It might look good at the top body break or if it fits with your custom idea you could blend in a color on the raised part of the body sides. Look forward to seeing this one thru .

I realy like the '58 Ford "long roof" Like many of you I would gladly pay more if I had to if it was all US made anything. My '05 Pontiac GTO is an Aussie Monaro, My wife's '09 Jeep Wrangler was built here. But our '10 Dodge Charger was built in Canada. Ordered in the spring of 2010 with the promise of delivery for your June vacation. The French Canadians wouldn't release it to production until the end of June. I think they wanted to be sure we got the last 2010 model built. We should of waited for the much nicer 2011 models. On quality issues I could go on and on, but one thing that got my happened in 1997 with my wife's previuos Jeep Wrangler. It was built in Ohio and was a good vehicle except for the transmision. It had always been a sloppy shifting piece of you know what and would some times hange up between gears and you never realy knew where you were with it. The final thing was on a Sunday after noon drive the lever come out of the floor in my hand. We were 25 miles from home stuck in second gear. Limped home and into the dealer on Monday. The service manager told me that it was common because Jeep had used TOYOTA transmissions in the Wrangler, which we traded for a GMC Jimmy. I think that the only reason that the "Imports" are built here is that the lobor force is much more dependable and that is why their quality is percieved as better than American cars. Now I'm going to have a glass of California "Zin" and relax on the deck and watch the fireworks. God Bless America. Happy fourth to you all.

I have owned two 1:1 El Caminos in the past. They were great for my us and would love to have another. My 1967 396 4spd El Camino was new and I used it as a gas station service truck for the most part. The heaviest load I can remember was a one time deal picking up four 55 gal. drums of anti freeze at the distribition center. Other than about 90 psi in the factory air shocks and tieing off the drums (standing upright) it was a slow drive back to work, about 20 miles. I would not recamend this big of load unless the rear suspension had a lot of work first. But when your young and dum what the heck. In the '65 El Camino Gear Hustler that I built it had a "topper" or cab high type shell that looks like it was made of alumminum. If you were to sand it smoth and round off the roof edges it could be made to look like a fiberglass shell. I think this would be more common for the time. My second 1:1 El Camino was a '66 that I picked up in about '87 or '88. It was a driveer at best, but I did find an old fiberglass shell in the local Autotrader. With much polishing with boat fiberglass products and Brasso for the window trim it looked very nice. It was on the El Camino when it was stolen in '89.

I like it. Think about a flatbed maybe. Side stakes, or a couple of bails of hay.

One or the other, but not together. This is what happens when we have to much time on our hands and cheap beer. Man should get a hobby, like modeling, much cheaper

Like the paint and the "Bell tipes".

Your "brush paint" job is better than my "spray can" jobs.

Not absolutlly sure, but as I recall the first (blue car) kit was a reissue for Wal Mart only and were usually the same as the original issue. They also had many other AMT reissues. It was a good kit as I recall. The wheels might be found in some other kits from that era.

I think that sometimes we forget that the rest of the world is very much into racing. This is an excellent example. These teams looks very professional. Thank you for the additional info Alexandre.

Hey, does that '32 have a slant 6 ? Now thats going "outside the box". Like that a lot. The drag coupe is cool also.

I like it a lot. These model Chargers don't get enough love.
