Hi Wayne!

Well, as they say: "Quality, not quantity". Both are great, but I have a preference for the color on the Chevy.

Both cars have colors that are in perfect match with their respective year coming to the market. Bravo!

Two great builds. I especially like the Chevy as it is very eye catching. 

Looks to be a pretty rare T-Bird behing the Impala.

It’s hard to criticize a model when they look that good! That foil work is beautifully done. Only thing I can think of are the exhaust tips on the T/A; I usually hollow the tips out and paint the inside of the hole flat black. Some guys get real jiggy with it and use small aluminum tubing to simulate tips.

I agree. My first car was that "butternut yellow".

They are both beautifully done. Perfect color choice as these colors seem to best represent the subjects when they were built.
