Yet another of my very delayed finishes due to failed paint. I tried some different paint brands, really liked how it came out, so here it is. I think one of the buyers after Gregg (foolishly) sold it had an accident, didn't want to try to paint it in the original color scheme, so he just painted it this red. (Not a true story of course, just my excuse.) I sure am glad this is done. It's been 13 years in the making.
Thanks for your comments, Gary

I've been building models in eight (!) decades. Does that make me experienced or just old? I'm old! Well, I do have SOME experience!

Almost needs a Go Kart riding around in the back!

The 59 Impala style trim is a perfect addition. I only thing is the calf guards on the lakes pipes looks 70's to me.

I love the detail on both sets of exhausts, the lowers with the mesh guard and the upper bed rails. Thanks for sharing.

I am usually here several times a week catching up on new posts. I just am usually too busy to post or even comment. Love your Gregg shoebox!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
