  1. Now that's a wagon ! Very Cool !
  2. Is this CBP still open ? I have a Daytona I'd like to post .
  3. I like this alot ! While I was cutting my 300 to make a wagon I thought it would make a neat El Camino type build ! Glad to see it being done . Keep posting pictures . BOB.
  4. Hi High Octane. That '58 T-Bird is the first kit I remember building ! I was pretty little and my Dad didn't want to buy it , but he did . I don't remember much about the kit , but I made a mess of the kitchen table ( I brush painted it and the model ) ! After that my new hobby was moved to the garage .
  5. It's looking good Pat ! I sure like the colors . When you get around to the headlights , drill a small hole in the base and another in the body . Then mount them with a small diameter styrene rod or a pin or something . Sure makes life easier as they can be a real pain to glue on ! BOB.
  6. I know what you mean . I can't put my finger on it either . Kind of an earlier body style with a nose grafted onto it .
  7. Now that is really clean , and really Sharp ! Nice . Nice . Nice .
  8. This is currently on Ebay . Suppossedly made by Showtime Resins . I've searched the net and only Rocketfin.com mentions that company with a '53 Phantom Nomad as "no longer in production ". Anyone have any info on Showtime Resins ? This is Item # 170824482623 I saw a thread here in the last couple of weeks about these years of Cutlass , but couldn't find it . BOB.
  9. This definitely does not belong in other ! It belongs here in all it's glory ! Beautiful build !
  10. Very Cooool !
  11. Very nice looking build . At first , I thought it was a photo of the real thing ! Great detail and a great build !

    67 Chevelle

    I've got that kit stashed away and never realized it was such a good looking model ! Great job !
  13. Holy Cow ! ! Beautiful Cougar ! I had a '70 nack in the day , and loved it ! Congrats on a great build . BOB.
  14. The Post Office delivered this today . Won it on Ebay for $5.00 + $3.50 shipping . It's a 1/25 diecast 1965 Impala convertible in excellent condition ! What a Deal ! Anybody know the manufacturer ?
  15. I spent some time on Sunday installing the plug wires . It really makes a big difference ! So , here are some photos of the finished engine .
  16. Wow ! Great job ! Nice little tutorial on masking . I think I'll try it . Thanks !
  17. Nice El Camino Adam . Sharp color ! How about doin' some of us a favor and enlarging your type . I have new glasses and can barely read it !
  18. You're moving right along ! I tend to drag my builds out over a long period . Don't know why . I like the distributor . Where did you get it ?
  19. A '59 Cadillac Nomad sounds cool ! Interiors are always tough on these builds . I did a '67 Nova with a Nomad roof on it and dark tinted windows . The rear of the interior was not visible so I didn't do a lot with it . In this one it will be seen so I've built a floor and side panels with sheet styrene and plan on flocking the whole thing . Plus an extra bench seat placed in back . How about some pics of what you have so far ? Thanks everybody for the comments . And thanks Jantrix for the info . BOB.
  20. I managed to get some work done this week . The body is primed and almost ready to paint . The chassis is started . And the engine is almost finished . Here's the chassis painted and fuel lines installed . Suspension parts are almost finished . Finally , the engine is getting close . Distributor is installed , but the cap and wires are in the mail from MAD . I added fuel lines and filters . Throttle linkage and cable . PCV valve and breather . Pwr steering pump , oil filter , and battery cables . Also the brackets for the alternator and pwr. steering pump . And the dip stick ! The weather has been pretty nice so I need to get some yard work done this weekend . Hopefully I can start painting in the next few days . Thanks for looking . BOB.
  21. The average kit measures 10 " x 7" x 4" and weighs 1 pound . USPS from Arizona to New York for 6 bucks ? Please explain how .
  22. If you can ship 2 kits in one package to me ( in Florida ) for less than $13.00 , PLEASE tell me how ! ! I regularly use USPS Parcel Post and it costs more than $8.00 to ship 1 kit to Georgia , $11.00 to New York . UPS is even more expensive . USPS Priotity Mail can be a better deal , but only if it is going to the west coast . And then it has to fit in there box !
  23. Wow , that is really nice ! I have one stashed too . Never built it because , well , it was just a Prowler . I think I'll dig it out and take another look .
  24. Looks good . Now I have to fix mine . . . it's upside down ! I think I have fewer grey cells than you do !
