Moebius ' 61 Catalina Finished

Get the cameras rollin' boyz. This one's gonna be a showstopper!

[smellyfatdude]

Thanks. Don't know about showstopper. . . . I think I'll settle for "looks nice". 

Got the engine bay and interior, all wrapped up. Strictly out of box, but there's nice detail in this kit, including the dash decals. For those curious about such things, those seats are epoxied in. Nothing more disconcerting than to be sliding the chassis in to the body during final assembly, get it just about there and be treated to the sound of one of the seats popping loose. Don't ask me how I know that, but that's what I do about it. 

Got some fresh foil here, so I guess that, and another test fit are coming up.

Going to be beautiful

Man, that is CRISP!

The interior panel work is excellent.

love the colour combo, too.

 I might have to get one of these, now I've seen how good yours is ?

And the transparent green steering wheel is a nice touch.

[smellyfatdude]

Thanks folks. No hassles with the interior in. Gotta love it when the parts actually fit, a little massaging notwithstanding.

And the glass fit looks okay. From here, anyway.

This little Catalina looks great. Just a little trim left to do. 

[MrObsessive]

Now that is lookin' so nice! To my view this car looks a little better with the thinner whitewalls. Perhaps a bit more 'trim' even though '61 was the last year for wide whites industry wide.

That interior is KNOCKOUT! Your glass looks good from my end for sure!

This is really coming together nicely, great work.

D.W., that is so freakin' cool. That is gonna rock when complete. Fantastic job so far. I am DROOLIN' lol. 

[smellyfatdude]

It’s all done. First day of fall here, and of course we’re getting a nice rain/snow mixture. I’ll take some shots outside, once the weather smartens up. ?

LOOKEN GOOD. 

[Bucky]

Tin Indian looks sharp from this angle!!

[John Goschke]

Nice work!  Looks like the kit goes together quite well.  I'm impressed by the accurate looking stance the car has.

[smellyfatdude]

Thanks, fellas. I still have to touch up some of the paint along the bottom, and try to wrestle the decals for the Pontiac emblems on the front and back, but other than that, it’s certainly nice to be done with it. Now, I can resume working on this, a ‘57 Bel Air fuelie  convertible that’s been hanging around here way too long. Might get my usual two builds done this year, after all. ?

It looks awesome!!! 

Also have a soft spot for 1957 Chevrolets.
