  1. Awesome build Roberto! Great color! The Caddy tail lights....cool! But the wheels.....they just set this off! Nice!
  2. Now ladies and gentlemen. What is crossing in front of you here at Pebble Beach is a beautifully restored 1928 Mercedes SS. Beautiful car Harry! Really nice work!
  3. Wow! Very Cool! Great chop! Love the color, and the skirts and stance....nice!
  4. Beautiful build Steve! I'm beginning to like the style of these JoHan Chryslers! This one really looks great!
  5. Nice little "Hot Rod"! Love the use of little six!
  6. I went with the Citation Adam. You do a great honor by building these, and I'm sure that there is some model company exec that cruises this forum and always smiles when he sees that his decision to go with "that one" or "this one" was a winner!
  7. I can only imagine what you started out with Rich! I've got a '53 Buick that I take out of the box....look at it.....and put it back! One of these days I'll have to tackle it. You did a great job on this one! Definately not a car that you see as a model. In fact this is the only one I've seen! Nice addition to your collection of '50's.

    Aoshima Skyline

    Beautiful build Marcos! You never fail to impress!
  9. This is pretty cool Michael! I saw am "MG" at a Goodguys show at Charlotte Motor Speedway a couple of years ago with a 427 in it. the guy had done the swap back in the '70's. Ran like a top! Probably a bear to handle, but.....
  10. Killer "Tail Dragger" James! Awesome fade job on the paint, and the color.......cool, very cool!
  11. OK....not in as bad a shape as some of the ones featured so far, but a resurection just the same. Built-up "SMP" '59 Impala with a bit of body damage. Luckily the builder chose not to paint it. Probably the hardest part was restoring the windshield, but thanks to NOVUS.....what a great product!
  12. Nice little "Hi-Boy" Eric. Love the wide-whites! "Jantrix" has a good point. One of the easiest, and cheapest methods I know is using emory boards. Nail care aisle in the grocery store...a buck and you get like eight of them. You can cut them up and use them for hard to get to spots. They're great! Anyway...you're right....you can't go wrong with a black '32!
  13. Wow Dennis...you nailed the look on this '34! Beautifully done! Great looking build! One of the best "Hot Rods" on the forum!
  14. Love it! Beautiful paint work!
  15. Outstanding! I can actually hear it!
  16. Nice work Tomo! This combo will look great with that GTX on a trailer behind (as it should be) that Chevy! You could have incorported the radiator into the firewall going accross the front. This would have required some cut, sand, test fit and repeat as necessary, but it looks like there is enough room there to have done that. Anyway, good job. That chevy PU looks cool.
  17. Beautiful build Emmanuel! Nice choice on the color combo, and great foil work!

    37 Ford Coupe

    Nice lookin' little Hot Rod Bill! Try a few photos outside...this really helps under natural light. And hey....who doesn't get orange peel on occasion?
  19. Wow...this is very nice Jim! Outstanding! The color, wheels, interior......really cool! Oh! And shiny......really...really...shiny!
  20. Thanks Harry! For pointing me in the right direction. Really beautiful build.

    Mustang 67 HT

    Nice little '67 Ulf! I had one of these in '74. Paid $375.00 for it. Can you imagine...$375 for a seven year old Mustang! Wow....whatever happened to those days? Had a straight six. Throttle linkage broke one afternoon on my way home from college. Fixed it with a shoelace and a paper clip. Try doing that today with one of the newer cars. Failed a couple of times, and wouldn't go faster than 30 mph, but got me home!
  22. Beautiful car Harry! Not something that you would run accross at a Goodguys show! Quick question.....Micro-Scale decals for the gold pinstripe? Or hand done? If they are Micro-Scale...then you have solved an issue for me. Thanks, Mark
  23. Congrats on the success of the show. Five hundred models is pretty impressive! Thanks for putting up the photos! Some great looking builds!
  24. Very nice Darryl! Just the right amount of detailing for an early rail! Love the front wheels!
  25. Great lookin' Hot Rod John! Love the wheel / tire choice, and the treatment on the mags make them really stand out! Great engine detail! Nice all around!
