Very nicely done and great colors !

Still not getting much bench time but the Vermillion Red paint arrived Wednesday so I made some time , and since the chassis was still sitting in front of me I decided to paint it first . Nothing fancy , no extra detailing , it's all done with spray cans . I did use some tape for the fuel tank straps . Plan on starting the interior next week !

The bezels and the trim you've added make a big difference , good call !

Interesting that you used Vallejo Plastic Putty . I've been told that it's very thin , dries to a rubbery consistency , and is not sandable . What do you think ?

Sharp color , what is it ?

HAH ! Been there done that .

This one just has that "look" we all love ! Really great work Bernard !

Soooo much better than what's in the box , congrats on building a great looking model !

I've got one of these kits ready to be started and am really glad to see yours finished , it looks great ! For some strange reason I just think these cars look cool .

I love Chaparrals and yours is absolutely gorgeous ! Replacing the screen and stacks was well worth the extra effort , and those Gold Line tires look great !

I've done enough of this kind of build to know that there's always a surprise during final assembly so I'm pre-fitting everything on this one , everything you see on the chassis is assembled with Tacky glue which is easily cleaned before paint . The engine isn't complete only what can be seen from the bottom , and if you look closely you can see where I've drilled and pinned the front sub-frame with 1/16" rod . The biggest issue was reshaping the exhaust to fit the new chassis , but after some hair pulling it's done . I've already assembled and disassembled both the chassis and the interior several times and fit them into the body . . . it all fits every time so I'm ready to start painting !

Beautiful work Michael ! Love that 409 and your interior looks great , this is going to be one fine looking '62 !

Thanks Tyler ! The detailing isn't me it was all in the casting .

Thanks Bob ! I started with that name but ended up changing it .

Thanks much Carl !

Thanks Ray ! Not for everybody but a great slump buster !

Oh yeah that's cool looking !

Great work so far Jim ! Never seen the full detail kit before (I've got the snapper), looking forward to more !

Thanks David , that's a great looking motor ! It was kind of rare in the Phoenix but it sure was popular in the Polara , can't wait to see yours .

Thanks Mark !

Thanks John I appreciate that !

Absolutely my favorite Buick body style and yours is absolutely gorgeous !

Very well done !! I just love seeing custom fab and body work being done and you've got a great eye ! Best way to do it , sometimes measuring everything doesn't look as good as just eyeballing it .

I have that pic saved and was looking at it yesterday , definitely looks right ! Thanks JC !

Thanks David !
