Erik Smith Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Excellent work, Al. Very precise BMF application and great looking paint job. Sharp, crisp, clean.
Porscheman Posted October 26, 2013 Author Posted October 26, 2013 Thanks everyone again. I'm starting a very rare mint in the original box Renwal 66 Packard today. This one will be built box stock. Call me nuts,but this one has to be built
dimaxion Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 I did buy the same kit advertised for years from Model Empire quite awhile ago IIRC . It had glue on the Grille and the Engine was missing . I was able to remove the glue , wash the grille and buy a Resin Engine . I feel your pride as you deserve praise . Attaboy .. You like blue , I like green . So it appears we have twins . Well as Blue is the same as green less a few drops of yellow . Just right .. Thanx ..
Johan020 Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Very nice looking continental I am looking for one for ages
realgone58 Posted October 28, 2013 Posted October 28, 2013 Oh yeah! Just beautiful! Love the color on this too. I'm trying to grab a '69 to build. I like the variation in the '69 grille. Can't wait to see that Renwal Packard!!
Porscheman Posted October 28, 2013 Author Posted October 28, 2013 Thanks Alan, If you need pictures of a 69, I can send you some of my Dk Green 1:1. I have to get paint for the Packard.
ChrisBcritter Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) Such elegant cars they were... and you captured that understated look so well. Could we take a look under the hood pleeeze? Wish AMT would find the molds for it, or for the '69 if they updated it to that year. Edited November 2, 2013 by ChrisBcritter
MikeyB08 Posted November 2, 2013 Posted November 2, 2013 Very nice!! Lincoln Contientals are my favorite family vehicles. I personally drive a 2002 Lincoln Contiental CE and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The color is spot on and the shine is great! Very nice work!
Chris guthro Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 definatley want pictures of the big block under the hood! love them 460s!!

I personally drive a 2002 Lincoln Contiental CE and I wouldn't trade it for the world. The color is spot on and the shine is great! Very nice work! My wife and I have a 99 Continental with 226,000 miles. My wife has a 2014 MKZ Hybrid coming and won't sell the Continental for anything. Great cars!!! definatley want pictures of the big block under the hood! love them 460s!! I only build curbsides, so the chrome engine is still in the box.
Tom Geiger Posted November 10, 2013 Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Nice build Al. It was good seeing you yesterday! Guys, Al really has this quick paint job thing down pat. You need to see it in person to get the full effect. He gets a nice shiny finish in 24 hrs that doesn't look like Earl Sheib worked here! Edited November 10, 2013 by Tom Geiger
Porscheman Posted November 10, 2013 Author Posted November 10, 2013 (edited) Thank you Tom for the nice comments on my paint work. If anyone wants to learn the easy process, let me know and I'll walk you through it. Al Edited November 10, 2013 by Porscheman
Tom Geiger Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Thank you Tom for the nice comments on my paint work. If anyone wants to learn the easy process, let me know and I'll walk you through it. Al Al, after I just screwed up the paint job on my Caravan, I'm giving up and I'll just drop off my kits at your house for paint. It will be just like going to the dry cleaners with my clothes!
vwdave92 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Looks great. I so badly want to do one of these with opening doors but afraid to bite that off… LOTS of scratch building to do that. Great JOB!
Chuck Most Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 Lovely Lincoln, Al! I built a '69 annual I managed to snag for a decent price a few years back. Love that all chrome MEL big block, even though it isn't correct for a '69 but would have been for your '68 if you wanted to represent an early model. Anyway, fantastic job on this one- always love seeing these suicide-door Connies done up right.
Porscheman Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 Al, after I just screwed up the paint job on my Caravan, I'm giving up and I'll just drop off my kits at your house for paint. It will be just like going to the dry cleaners with my clothes! Tom, when your in Jersey, drop it off in the morning and it will be ready at 5.
