  1. I had seen something about this collection before. It's a shame that these cars were not better cared for by the owner.
  2. That is truly skilled craftsmen at work. To pretty to paint unless its with clear.
  3. I vaguely remember some program that involved AMT. After sending in the box codes I got the Jaguar XJ something or other that had just come out. I don't think I ever built it though.
  4. That's really cool. It sounds a whole lot better with the Chevrolet small block. I hope they get the gas tank out of the truck bed soon.
  5. They are all outstanding builds. Very nice pearl paint job on the Mercury custom.
  6. Turned out real nice. Good looking color combo.
  7. I like the showroom stock, but I'm already getting the Cad. engine out of the '49 Ford to put in a mild custom for myself. I'm thinking a nice "rake" with just a "nosed" and "decked" body mods.
  8. To kOOl, That's the way a '40 is supposed to look.
  9. I've seen other magazine stories on this race and the crazy cars that guys have entered before, but this thing has got to be the best yet. I wish I had the time, money, and skills to do something like this.

    My 2014 review

    Great looking builds.
  11. Loved them all. Can I have the keys to the Charger?
  12. Don't know how you find the time to build so many, but the sure look great everyone. I like you taste in music also.
  13. Very nice. I had to put on my sun glasses for the color. I liked the bed idea, I'll use that for sure on my next pick-up.
  14. Glad to see you back after this one. I really like what you have done on this Woody.
  15. Could be a Ford prototype from a long a go.
  16. Turned out great, well done.
  17. Built one of these and its '65 El Camino cousin years ago. While it may not be as high tech as the newer kits it can still be made very presentable with the effort you seem to be putting into it. Look forward to seeing how this turns out.
  18. Congratulations, you are going to love this car. The chassis is a shortened Charger and everything else is very similar also. I have always been a GM type, but after the Feb. '14 when we got my wife a '14 Dodge Avenger RT we are now 100% Mopar. They have come a long way and we love our '09 Jeep Wrangler and '10 Charger RT with AWD. It would be hard for me to consider any other make at this time. There are many good cars to choose from, but based on the experience we have had since the change over I just don't see anything else that fits for use.
  19. I agree that Hemmings has the finest magazines out along with Collectible Automobile magazine. They are well worth the money. On the Road & Track, I've subscribed for many years but the "new" format that they are using leaves me a little cold and they really a partial to BMW's and Toyota's . They make great reference material for builds. I think I need to buy some more book shelves.
  20. Now that is deferent. Nice looking build.
  21. Looks great. The wood trim turned out real nice.
  22. Great looking chassis. Good luck on the body.
  23. 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.
  24. 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.
  25. They are all beautifully done. The GTO and the Impala are special for myself.
