Thanks for the great compliments folks...


That's a great one, Gary.
Very well done detailing.
Can you tell us about the wheels?


Thanks Jim...the wheels on this are ones that I fabbed ( sliced and made wider...made the hubs from evergreen..) using different kit wheels from the parts box.

Thanks Jackie and Jim for the compliments. This Build was basically the start of the detail thing that I really enjoy doing. If memory serves...I built this back in 05 or 06?

Gary, this is an excellent build, I don't know how I missed this one. Excellent detail inside, under the hood, and great paint and graphics work.

I missed a real jewel with this build!!!  You've nailed it all, Gary!!!  Would be cool to bring back cars like this to replace the hideous looking late models of the past 20 years or so.  Someone could make a killing making body panels to replicate these era cars.  Nice build, sir!!!😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏁
