Thanks again guys!!! You all are very gentle with my gluebombs!!

Another beauty Tulio!

But, don't you ever get tired of building Fords? :D

I love Mopars, but I build tons of GM & Ford vehicles too!

If it was made prior to about 1972, they're all fantastic in my eyes.

First of all, I wish I could build like you do Steve. Big fan of your awesome work.

On the Ford building part, well, for me, building a model kit is something that uses a lot of time and love, not to mention the cost of the products involved. If one lives outside the U.S., the cost of a kit is considerably higher. A simple AMT kit can hit the 150 Reais mark, and that is about 48 Dollars. I gave up on BMF as the cost X benefit proved it a unnecessary product. Tamiya paints, and the good old Testors little bottles are a must, so biting the bullet is inevitable. The automotive paints I use for the bodies is actually the cheaper part. 

With all that in mind, I build the cars I really love and wish to have in 1:1 form, and those are FoMoCo products, about 99% of the times.

I also build GM cars once in a while. This year I built two Chevrolet pickup trucks. A '57 Cameo Carrier, that i think to be just stunning, and converted to 100% stock '55 Chevrolet Stepside pickup truck. Not to mention the countless 1:12 scale '57 Chevrolet Bel Air kits I have both built and unbuilt. 

Guess the only Mopar I like is the '58 Belvedere.

It's not a question of taste or logic, it's a question of love. When I see a Ford Galaxie, a '57 Fairlane, or even a brand new Mustang, I get excited every time.  

Take a look at the GMs I built this year (Yes I Love Black Cars, LOL):

I knew you built other things Tulio.

I've seen them on the forum & you do fantastic work!

I was just pulling your leg a little because I know how much you love Fords. ;)

LOL!!!

Don't worry Steve I knew you were pulling my leg. I just wanted to show that there is a little reason on my Ford building, other than just loving the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH things:lol:

Today I was looking at my stash, and I found 128 Ford kits, 15 Chevy kits and a AMT '58 Belvedere... 

Now, just to prove how maniac I am.

Among the Ford kits I have 16 AMT 1957 Ford Fairlane 500 Club Victorias, and 5 Revell 1957 Ford Custom Tudor kits. 

I believe I'm very found of 1957 Fords:P
