slusher Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Gorgeous and impressive!! Amazing flawless builds!!!
Bernard Kron Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Your skills and disciplined style are always an inspiration. All the best for 2020.
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Two kits that amazing is nothing to be ashamed of.
Bucky Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Another thing to ponder about these two excellent projects is the fact that neither one of these kits has been on the grocery store shelves in many years!
72 Charger Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Wow Steve just WOW so realistic can I ask does the torsion bar hood on the Fury actually work ?
StevenGuthmiller Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 Thank you all so much for all of the wonderful comments!

The hood will open and close, but the springs are basically free floating and will not hold the hood open. Steve

Thanks Keith! These 2 kits are very possibly the rarest that I have in my collection. Along with the Johan '68 Olds 442 that I am working on at the moment, there is no doubt that the 3 of them are by far the most unique and hard to find kits that I own. Steve

Steve It doesn't matter that they dont work it still looks fantastic

89AKurt Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Perfection takes time. ? You should try a beater just for fun.

All of my vintage kits are worthy of full restorations. My stomach couldn't handle a '68 Coronet R/T or '66 Dodge Monaco beater! ?? Besides, I have all of the fun that I can handle building factory stock, or close to it. Steve

I guess I can live with that. Steve Golly Steve, I wish I was cranking out 2-3... this past year I have been so stagnant its disgusting. Those are some FANTASTIC builds... so clean! The GTX looks like it needs me to hop in and drive it like I stole it, wich I would have to do because I definitely couldn't afford it!!

I had the car from Tommy boy on my mind when I saw the color... its clearly a fury! Wow, I now feel dumb! So, to rephrase ... that Fury looks looks like it needs me to hop in and drive it like I stole it, wich I would have to do because I definitely couldn't afford it!! Besides... I'm not a mopar guy, get off my back! Lol!
