  1. I built this for a friend who had one back in the day....... She was very pleased and said it looked just like her car.... There's a WIP for those interested. Thanks! and comment freely..........
  2. I have these scallop decals I could send you, if you'd like......
  3. Hey, Tom.... have you got a build thread for the Galaxie? I looked but didn't see one....... This is how the final fitment is going to work out.... This is a quirky little kit, but it really looks the part.....
  4. The '59 Buick has always been a favorite, They lend themselves very well to some custom touches, too........
  5. Got some paint on over the past couple days..... It has a pearl to it that's hard to get right in a pic.....
  6. Not only a cool cover, but a real good album, too
  7. Thanks for the kind comments, guys........ I noticed that while looking at pics for inspiration...... I guess the baby Birds are too cool to really need customization... So far I have planned to shave some stuff, and use some chrome reverse wheels and wide whites......
  8. I guess I've kinda fallen into a niche with my building style, that being the mild custom..... Got this kit in a trade with a pretty cool guy here, it's on the bench now. I'm using the back glass from a Moebius Chrysler to give this Bird a speedster style windscreen...... Some filler to fill where the windshield falls short of fitting the cowl.... Hopefully you'll follow along, thanks for looking, and comment freely!
  9. Next up is this lovely car! Any guess as to what it is?
  10. This car happens to be a '53 Plymouth........ you guys are pretty sharp....
  11. Here's a link to the ad we were looking at.... https://fayetteville.craigslist.org/ctd/d/fayetteville-volkswagen-passat-tdi/6918046323.html She want's something that will be reliable in the future, that's why I was looking for used reviews as well as new ones....... Thanks......
  12. I have a good friend that is looking at a used car.... it's a 2015 Volkswagen Passat TDI Diesel. It's a low mileage, one owner car.... What would be a good place to find reviews of this car? Both from when it was new, and now that it's used? Also, if anyone has personal experience with these please feel free to share......
  13. Thank You! If you look at the pics of when I first got her, you can see how skinny she was and how far she's come..... a little TLC and a healthy food goes a long way.....
  14. Functions are a little more crisp now......... seem to be, anyway
  15. A little grayer, a little more spoiled......
  16. An elderly lady and a young woman were both approaching the apartment building door. The young lady opens the door for the elderly woman, saying "Age before beauty"..... "That's usually the order it happens in" says the older lady.....
  17. I had over an acre to push mow when I was a teenager...... the year I moved out, my parents bought a brand new John Deere riding mower.......
  18. Something I've never understood about the long ram induction..... it put the carbs right over the exhaust manifolds/headers..... Wouldn't that heat the intake charge? I always thought you wanted that as cool as you could get it....
  19. Favorite MoPar pickup would be the Sweptlines......
  20. I would use the sedan if it were me....... they have always had a more basic "utilitarian" vibe
  21. fordf-100 is an excellent guy...... I'll be doing a second trade with him soon. Although I didn't have much to offer, he was willing to work with me so I could get one of his kits...
  22. Any idea what this car is?
  23. Did you get the stinger out? If not, don't squeeze it with tweezers, that just pushes venom in......... you want to scrub across where he stung you with a credit card.....
  24. This artist has Asperger's, he's absolutely brilliant......... https://www.instagram.com/rafaelmantesso/
