Its held in Bloominton Mn. We drive from Winnipeg for it a day in advance..Meet with some of the guys at Joe Sensers for dinner and stay for the show and go home the day after..(about 450 miles, 7-8 hours) It does help me though as my daughter lives in Shakopee Mn..Save two nights hotel room....

Well, let me know when it is. Minneapolis is about 75 miles from where I live. Maybe I'll make it some day. :) Steve

Your builds are always spectacular and this is no exception. Flawless paint job and great color choice that is a bit different from what you see the most. You sure know how to turn those Promo-style interior tubs into good looking parts.

Well Niko, you work with what you got! :) I'm not one for doing a lot of modifications. I enjoy keeping them as close as they came from the factory as possible. With a little "window dressing" of course! ;) Steve

Really gorgeous, did you rechrome the bumpers ?? MAkes me want to restore mine !!!! Your work on the outside mirror is outstanding !!!! :wub::wub:

Thanks guys! Yes Emmanuel, the bumpers have been re-chromed. I usually have the chrome re-done on these old kits. It's usually pretty rough & I figure, if I'm going to restore them, I just as well make the chrome shine! :D The mirror was my first attempt at scratch building one of this design. It's a little out of scale I believe. Looks a little too big. Maybe next time I can get it a little closer to what I was looking for. But, for my first one, I think it turned out alright. Steve

Nice...

and I've filed away that part about making clear steering wheel rims for later use. :rolleyes:

Thanks Chuck! I've used that technique many times in the past couple of years. If you're big finned Mopar fan, or a 50s-60s Pontiac guy, it can get used quite often. Steve

Thanks guys! I've always been a big fan of these old Mopars. Now that I've about exhausted most of the '59, '60 & '61s that I wanted to build, with a couple of exceptions, It's time to move on to the '62-'69 Mopars. I've got a bunch of those to build! Should keep me occupied for a while! :) Steve

You properly did it justice, Steve. 1st class work. I love the fins and sculpted tail lights on these Chryslers.

The wheels and stance look just right, too.

Lovely job.
