Looks fantastic Marcos, is it going to be at MAMA tomorrow? I've got a '65 Impala SS396 (or Caprice....?) almost done that would look great side by side with your Goat. See ya soon!

You haven't told where in MD you live!

I'm still cracking up with this picture, I knew you had some sinister ideas when you snapped it but I must admit it is too funny and very creative!!! ;);)

Thank you all for your comments, certainly appreciated. John, I will be in the MAMA meeting tomorrow so make sure to bring your Impala, it would be an honor to place mine next to yours!! I live in Abingdon off exit 77 on I-95!

The color is Dupli-Color GM Dark Blue with Odds and Ends clear!!

By the way, since our club president is so strict with his club members, I will be foiling the tail light grilles some time soon!! I ask myself every day, why did I vote for him to "reign" for another year??? :lol::D

Absolutely beautiful job. And thank you for NOT putting overspray on the chassis! That always gets waay over done!

I totally agree on that, Drew. Nice to see you here.

Marcos, that is beautiful. Back "in the day", my friend Pat had that car. His was a little darker blue, but it had the white interior, red lines and the Tri Power carbs. What a fun car. Your build brings back such great memories of high horsepower, low gasoline prices and cheap, cheap White Castle Burgers. The Friday and Saturday nights in the White Castle parking lot with our American Muscle cars...Pats GTO, Jerry and Richie's Chevelle's, Don's Dodge Charger and my Camaro Rally Sport 350....those were the days and your build is exactly right. I think, one of these days I should build all of the cars of my early Twenties. Anyway, thanks for the beautiful Goat and the memories it brings back to me. great job. ( yes, get those taillights foiled)

Sounds like a killer diorama.

Oh man! As usual, great work, this thing looks so real. I have been looking for a color like that to do a porsche I have in the works, seeing that you took those pictures inside, is this more or less the true color?

Thanks Jay, I will be taking some photos outside soon, I do have this photo I took outside during the building process, it will show more of the true color. I still have to add the door locks under the door handles and also finish BMFing the tail light grilles, after this I will shoot more pictures outside!! :lol:

Now I don't have to listen to Lyle tomorrow at the meeting talking about the missing BMF on the stupid rear lights..... :lol:;) Then again, I am doomed if I wear my Yankee gear but, between you and I, we Yankee fans love to be hated!!! ;);)
