I dont know. And I cant log in to the pictures hosting site server either. Hopefuuly its something server related and all my pictures are still there ,,,,,,,,,

Such a negative nancy I actually laughed out loud at this one ,,my daughter looked at me kind of funny when I did ( more so than she usually does)

I buy it at my local auto body supply store ( KOI here in northern Ky ) Like I said earlier . I no longer use enamel clear,,,,. I build a lot of white cars . And dont want the yellowing issues to happen again like it did here. So I use either Laquer clear ( Testors, Tamiya or Duplicolor or Upol urethane in the tall gold rattle can )

I remember when Ronnie Sox was driving one like this many years ago , and always though it would make a kiiler looking model . I'm tuned in to watch this one come to life

How did I miss this one. The color combo looks amazing. Not that I would have expected anything less from your bench. I gotta ask though A - how did you do the antenna ? B - why 3 heater hoses going into the firewall ? should only be the 2

Here is the best picture I have been able to find of the original car. And in these pic it sure looks like its a brushed aluminum with at least a blueish tint to it . I' 'think ' this is the original car....... Then in some pics I've found it really looks light light blue ....what to do,,,what to do . Was thinking to do it in a silver base with a VERY slight blue tinted clear top coat. Then cear it all . I would love to hear ideas on the best way to do this one. I had also thought about some testors aluminum metallizers and go that with no blue tint And if anyone has done one of these and has any build tips,,I am all ears. Thanks all

Anyone know for sure the color of the original car. I look from time to time and in some pics it looks silver yet others it looks a very light blue I did find out a there was a replica built sometime recently ,,, and its painted in what is being referred to as Cerulean Blue...problem is I dont think the original car was that dark of a blue I have a Club De Mer and a Lincoln Futura on the very near future to do list and I want to do them right.

I have a boat load of builders. But I think the only one I personally started and not finished is going on 15 years give or take . ( mid to late 90s time frame ) Its Slixx decaled Pure Hell Demon funny car Its going to require an airbrush to correct the paint,,and I never could get excited about tackling it,,,maybe someday. Its been sitting in the same spot in a clear case on my desk all this time

Yes. Got everything to build the 59 stock. The silver 60 is really nice and I like the color combo...so I will leave it exactly like it is. And I think I did ok price wise

I just picked up a 59 and a 60 Bonneville convertilbes this week and a 60 Hardtop. so you definitly have my attention as to how this one comes together The color is starting to grow on me ,,I wasnt diggen it at first

Cool beans. I built one of these about a year ago, and really liked it. all except the tri tone interior,,that was tough Mine was Duplicolor paint as well,,,no idea what the name of color though

I thought it looked like something was wrong in the ft fender. The visor didn't bother me at all. But the metal chassis was throwing me off and it definitely wasn't as warped as most promos I've seen from the era. I decided to pass and find an annual kit builtup instead.

This is the car I am looking at. The metal chassis has me wondering whats up. In the pictures I cant make up my mind if the left fender has warp to it or not. It certaintly seems straight down the sides and the body doesnt have the huge curl in the middle of it like most I've seen. But every other one I've looked at has a detailed plastic chassis http://www.ebay.com/itm/351340348215?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Got a couple Ebay buys in today. A builder 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. And a Really nice built 1960 Bonneville convertible

Great looking build. I have always thought this was a seller looking car. Well done

Very nice...I like that a lot

I have a 68 charger hood I can snap off some pictures if needed

We're factory promos metal chassis or detailed plastic chassis cars. The one I'm looking at is a convertible with a metal chassis. And shows no signs of warping

Ugly, but I'll bet its fast. Buddy of mine has one , mostly stock with just an upgrade hair drier,fuel system and alcohol injection and with the boost dialed up and I think its a 10.90 car. Those cars were impressive box stock

Looks good, Nice color The stance looks dead on try a piece of guitar string for the antenna

Are the 60 Ford or Mercury dealership promos stryene or that cycolac material ? I am looking at one and it show no signs or warps is why I am asking

Positive. Here is the build thread. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99632 Thanks all for the kind words .Its not flawless by any means but I am real happy with how it came out . This one is going to be tough to just give away. But I'll do it because he is a good friend of mine. and I know he'll certaintly appreciate it ........ He doesnt even know its coming.

It's the moebius kit.

I want to go on record this has to be the best engineered kit I have ever worked with . Intructions need a bit of work, But the kit itself is impressive . Anyway,,,, this is a replica of a friend of mines actual car. His birthday is next month ,,so when we meet up next I'll present to him. 1st the actual car I was attempting to replicate. Outside of an exterior repaint back in the early eighties this car is pretty much original. So its a pretty correct un-messed with car and makes a great 1st impression when you see it in person. He has owned the car since about 1979 give or take a year or so. About 2 years ago , he finally gave in and put a set of wide whitewall radial tires on it. Which makes it so much more comfortable to drive, which he does do on a regular basis,,, weather permitting. And the build. which I really enjoyed . Its all built 100% box stock Body is done with rattle can black laquer with a rattle can urethane clear,,,slighty rubbed out . Interior is all testors model masters enamels . I'll get some better pics of the engine compartment and underside maybe tonight . ( Posting these pics ,,,I just realized I need to put the decals on the rear quarter panels ,AND install the rear shocks on the suspension ) Comments of all kinds welcome.
