Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 My second time building the kit. Came out good.
louie Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 That is nice. The hood really stands out on it. Great color choice too. You did a really good job building this one. Thanks for sharing this with us. Jeff
AC Norton Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 .looks dynamite, Eric.....what's not to like...yellow,,, GTX,,,, six pack.....you have a winner build there.....the Ace........
Hard_2_Handle_454 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks, it was originally going to be Sublime, but I had some extra yellow paint from my Opel and Camaro. I did one of these in red a long time ago. I think it was one of the first few models cars I ever built. It came out OK, but since then I've wanted another that I could do a better job on. I saw the vinyl top like that on another car and thought it would be a cool look for this one.
AC Norton Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 well, your choices and combo in general are quite nice here, and always remember the most important aspect of our hobby...you only have to please yourself in how you build and choices of your colors, etc.....and this one is a beaut.....the Ace....

I agree 100%!!
Dragline Posted February 10, 2016 Posted February 10, 2016 A little gloopy on the clearcoat and the hood decal should have been painted instead. But, nice color choice and subject. Every build gets a little better..
Roadrunner Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Pretty cool. I've determined that my next car will also be the '71 GTX. I'm not 100% sure at this point, but I suspect I'll do it with chrome on front and rear.

Couldn't agree more.
AC Norton Posted February 11, 2016 Posted February 11, 2016 Couldn't agree more. thanks, Kevin.....I only mentioned this because at times I feel that so many builders are truly worried that their build may not impress the masses in this new age of instant social media and such. remember when building a kit back when all of us were young, and the thrill of just having it, showing to all your friends when the paint was probably still wet...lol......and how exciting it was....I do, and built my drag and muscle cars to suit me, and still do now......the Ace.....

I certainly want folks to think my stuff looks decent, but I know that I'm outclassed by many on this forum, and that's perfectly OK with me.
