E St. Kruiser50 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 (edited) Hi everyone I'm brand new here and have not posted before. Hope this turns out close to what I intended. This is a project I finished a few years ago and not many have seen it except the local guys in a couple of clubs I belong to and a few shows, mostly on the west coast. Hey. I think I figured this posting thing out Edited June 7, 2008 by Treehugger Dave
george 53 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 WoW Dave thats one hellava model!!! What kit did you start with?Looks kinda like a 39 Chevy.Man I sure do like it.Great color combo,detail,the works! Welcome to our forum,it is THE BEST forum on the web.Your among some of the best modelers in modeldom,and you sure ain't no slouch yourself!!!!
Harold Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Cool- it's not every day you see a Graham, especially the Hollywood. Did you base it on the Cord (the real one used the old 810-812 body dies with a shortened front end)? Love it. Trivia- the first years production of Frazers carried Graham- Paige serial number plates, and the ads mentioned they were products of Graham-Paige.
charlie8575 Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Fantastic! That took a lot of doing to get right, and you've captured it very well. I'd love to see some Grahams made in stock form (any casters or AMT/Revell/Japanese companies reading this?) Charlie Larkin
MrObsessive Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Oooooh Yes! I DO remember seeing that up close and personal at the '05(?) GSL!! That's a knockout build that I kept coming back to over and over!!

E St. Kruiser50 Posted June 4, 2008 Author Posted June 4, 2008 Thanks everyone . Not sure what I 'm doing yet as far as posting pics. Does Photobucket work fine here? I tried downloading another pic and it failed do to available space. Oh well, I'll figure this out. Definetly not a techno here . Thanks for the nice welcome guys. I'll download more pics of projects both finished and on the bench. All the best - Dave
