  1. Thanks for posting the photos! Zelkam, you actually came all the way from France? Now THAT'S dedication!
  2. My first car was a '71 Cutlass Supreme coupe, so Oldsmobiles of that era have a special attraction for me as well.
  3. OK, I'm curious. Who did build it? I like sedan deliveries, and this one is very nicely done.
  4. Who doesn't love the E-bodies? Or '68-'70 Chargers for that matter? Your builds look very clean. There's a lot to like here.
  5. I like the color choice, it has a nice period-correct factory look. Well-done!
  6. There are other hobbies? Just kidding. Actually, I am also a diehard reader. I will read just about anything from cover to cover, from technical manuals to bad romance novels.
  7. Al, is that something you just picked up at NNL East? If it is-good grief you work FAST! And it looks GOOD! The vinyl top looks right at home on the four-door.
  8. Cool conversion! Most of us are used to seeing cop cars or taxis made out of that Fury.
  9. Sounds like a bit more of the territorial Rottie was showing through in that dog. I have a Lab, and in general, they're pretty sweet. Mine doesn't even know how to growl. I hope that hand heals up quick, since not being able to build can be a real downer.
  10. That has a real mean look to it that I like.
  11. There's a lot to like here, especially the paint scheme. Nice.
  12. Looks race-ready! I like it.
  13. Buddy, I'm with you on this one! But if someone replicated this brand of ugly in scale, it would be impressive.
  14. I'm sure that in a few short years, little Sophia Jane will be working on a build with her proud grandpa. Give 'em toys, give 'em candy, and give 'em back. That's my policy towards my nieces and nephews, and one I'm certain works just as well with grandchildren. Congrats!
  15. Here's my take on the Revell '72 Hurst/Olds. Largely box-stock, I used Model Master enamels and Metalizers, Bare-Metal Foil, and I machined correct trumpet-style exhaust outlets out of sprue. Thanks for looking!
  16. I really dig that wagon!
  17. That reciprocating saw idea does look fraught with danger, so for anyone who wants to build a Stir-O-Lizer, I took a photograph of the one I built. The picture will pretty much tell you how it went together. You'll need a rotisserie from a barbecue grill, six PVC end joints roughly the size of the bottles you'll be using, a piece of wood or Trex as a base, two hose clamps, and some wood screws to hold the rotisserie to the wood. The device spins at 2 rpm, so put your bottles in it about an hour before you are ready to paint, or you can leave them in all day if you want. It requires no attention once set in motion.
  18. Inspired by your build, I picked up one of those '69 Olds convertibles from Missing Link while at NNL East. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your H/O.
  19. Worthy? That paint job is a real eye-catcher!
  20. I made a device (I dubbed it the "Stir-O-Lizer") using a rotisserie from a barbecue grill and PVC pipe that will hold up to 12 small bottles of paint at a time. It gently spins the bottles, thoroughly mixing the paint, and I can leave it unattended whilst I prepare things for the soon-to-be-airbrushed paint.
  21. Yeah, what he said about NNL East is true.
  22. Nice looking Bonnie! Must have taken a while to do all that chrome.
  23. Looks "just right". I like it.
  24. The '68-'69 Chevelles have always been my favorites, so naturally I'm gonna like yours. Great color choice.
  25. Hot color! Sounds like you and your girl really had a good time. Isn't that what it's all about?
