Like the paint and the "Bell tipes".

Your "brush paint" job is better than my "spray can" jobs. -
69 Eliminator Question
espo replied to Scuderia's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
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.

Great looking. I like the way you used all of the traditional custom touches.

427 You know what they say about Hot Rods, "if big is good than bigger has got to be better" -
That would make sense. That can be built as a roadster or a closed coupe. Also stock or after market headlights.

Broderwick Crawford drove a Buick for the most part. But I do remember some of the early 1955 shows where he drove an Oldsmobile.

Great variety of cars. Good to see so many different styles all in one place.

Great looking ride. In the north america this was known as a Falcon. But you already know that. Like the rear window "blindes". -
Like your style. Nice build, I agree that its nice to see something different for power, and if of the Chevrolet persausion.
-
Good looking Ghia.
-
Turned out real nice. This is a fun kit, but like you it was hard on my old eyes and fat fingers.
-
Very nice looking streetable cruiser. Very clean, makes you look deeper into the model to see all of the work you have done.
-
Looks better than any 1:1 Torinos that I remember. In a week? It would take me longer than that to figure out what I was going to do with the kit. Very nice.
-
Nothing like a "bagged" protourer. Very nice detail work in the engine and trunk.
-
Looken good. NIce engine and interior detail.
-
Outstanding !!

"Wires" were the style of the day. These things can and do change. Kind if like directional billet wheels. Thay all have their day. Not a low rider type myself, but you have to admire their paint jobs and other finishes.

matching factory colors for a GTO judge
espo replied to foxbat426's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If you can find it, I have used Tamiya TS-26 Pure White for an '85 Monte Carlo SS. The factory color was the same as the Corvette white I beleave. -
55 Chevy step side completed

Outstanding build. Makes me want to try a pick-up for my next build. The bed cover with the lifts looks very real. -
Your persistence has paid off. Good save on the window.
