  2. Fantastic !!
  3. Might be too pricey for most but if you want one here it is !
  4. Actually it's spanish for "The Road" . There's a vendor on Ebay that sells the stock front end conversion .

  6. I've got both kits in my stash . . . what's the question ?
  7. Beautiful period correct custom , excellent work !
  8. Very nicely done , very clean and the paint looks perfect !
  9. I haven't seen anything come off your bench for a while and this was worth the wait , absolutely stunning Nova !
  10. Nicely done , that big Olds looks good in there !
  11. Beautiful little hot rod Gary ! The combination of parts used plus your choice of colors make it a very clean period correct "T" . Great job !
  12. Great idea Ray , it looks good ! Having built crates to ship Cobra kits I can say that you're actually on target . The entire floor of the crate is actually a large pallet that's completely bolted together (no nails) . The frame would be bolted to the pallet and then the body would be bolted down to the frame . The crate was then built around the body and boxes of parts would be packed in and around the body , probably some tie down straps added , and the crate would be shipped by a private carrier such as Reliable transport . No way it would survive going commercial freight .

    This is one of my favorites too , maybe my all time favorite , great seeing it again !!
  14. I like that ! Great idea and great execution !
  15. Looks like you got the nose figured out , angling the grille openings in the center is very much like a Firebird and makes it instantly recognizable as a Pontiac . Also the headlight placement really finishes it off . I don't recall seeing the rear of the roof and window opening before but I'd say you've nailed that too , I always have trouble with that on wagon conversions . Looking forward to seeing this one Under Glass !
  16. Looks good , and it survived a Cat Attack !
  17. Great looking Camaro , nice work !
  18. Nice one Ray ! And you're correct , the AMT chassis is almost perfect for the Kyosho body . There's always this 1/24 Snap Kit , not very good as kits go but the body looks good and it fits the Monogram chassis ! It has the sloped roofline like CSX2287 . Here's the Lindberg and Kyosho side by side , the Kyosho is a better detailed body . It looks wider in the photo but it's just the camera angle .
  19. Another gorgeous build Steve , the Bonnevilles have always been a favorite of mine ! The outdoor pics are beautiful and they do almost show the true color .

    30 A-Bone

    Wow that's clean , and the silver and black look great !
  21. Thanks ! Thanks Ron . . . what was I thinkin' ?
  22. That's nice ! I really like that color !
  23. It's not a clone , it's an original '64 Little T . Here's what it looked like when I started . The cheater slicks were made by cutting grooves in the kit tires with a razor saw .
  24. It sits just right and looks great with those wheels and tires , beautiful work !
