Tim,

Thanks for posting this family album shot!  As usual, they're all exceptional builds!  I have yet to purchase this kit, but after seeing this post, it's moved-up to the top of my "Get" list!

Great looking kids you got there, Tim! It's neat to see them all together because it's such a diverse group. I know you have more on deck and I'm looking forward to seeing those, too.

Great builds. They all look very nice, it's hard to pick a favorite. But I think I like the peach one more. I really like the engine swap. Those "block hugger" headers really give it a different look. Again, great job on all 4. One of these days I'll build mine so I can see how great this kit is.

Tim, you are really showing your passion for this kit!  I am waiting for shipments to arrive in Australia so that I can get some more!  The pink one is a stunner - I don't think I've ever seen a rod painted that colour before but it looks sooooo right.  Of course, the grey spoke Americans are doing it for me too!  (I run them on my 1:1 Model A roadster!).  I'm also a big fan of your turquoise one.

Now this may sound sacrilegious, but I reckon this kit would be a perfect basis for a Boyd Coddington/John Buttera/John Corno styled car from the mid seventies/ early eighties period.  Everything is there!  The separate fender housings would make it very easy to do the Buttera trick where he moved the arches forward a few inches, along with the front axle, to give it that crouching to pounce look.  Of course, you would have to swap in a small block Ford or Chevy but then you could switch the Buick into the re-issued SweeTee to build a Tommy Ivo T (maybe use the back of the Blue Bandito body for the "half a touring"body style that Tommy used) and then you could.........oh, man, we're going to be building this kit till we're a hundred years old!

 

Cheers

Alan
