Janne Herajärvi Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 ooh that looks beautiful so far! Who makes that kit? Is it rare? I like your works, keep it rolling
E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Who makes that kit? Is it rare? It's a very old AMT kit, but can be found on ebay periodically. Prices can be reasonable to high depending on the condition, if it's built, and how complete it is.

Greg Cullinan Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Dave it looks good before,after and in between. Love your work
Ron Hamilton Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah Baby! I'm working on mine too. Just painted it yesterday.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Yeah Baby! I'm working on mine too. Just painted it yesterday. WHERE'S THE PIC'S RON
Ron Hamilton Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 WHERE'S THE PIC'S RON A strange thing happened just before I painted this one. My father died. Working on this one will get me through the next few days. While I had already did one of his tribute cars, , a Sierra Gold '58 Impala built from the new Revell kit is going to be done sometime next year. I'll get some pics out after everything is over.

E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 (edited) Most everything is done now, except for the completed engine and the radiator assembly being installed. The body and it's appearance is closer to stock than I had initially planned, but as I progressed, it seemed like this was the right way to complete the close-to restoration.

Guest Gramps-xrds Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Looks a heck of a lot better now than it did w/ those donk wheels on it.
E St. Kruiser50 Posted November 21, 2009 Author Posted November 21, 2009 Looks a heck of a lot better now than it did w/ those donk wheels on it. Gotta figure out what I'm going to work on next. I'm in the mood for a few small projects after this is done, so I may restore my Renwall '66 Stutz Bearcat, that I picked up last month. Pretty cool old kit. That'ed be fun
Modellpularn Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 Looks a heck of a lot better now than it did w/ those donk wheels on it. Absolutely! And that silver lower body made all the difference too. Nice rescue!
george 53 Posted November 21, 2009 Posted November 21, 2009 OOO, the 66 Stutz'll be a COOL build! I saw one built up a thousand years ago, in a Public Library of all places! I thought it was REALLY cool then, it'll be even COOLER seein one done by you! The Buick looks great. I got promo's of both a 59 and a 60, but they're both so cool I don't have the heart to cut into them!
