Looks good to me! Would love to have one of those in 1:1, with a Porsche mill in it.

Dig the swoopy flow of that '37. I agree with Paul above with his assessment of clear issue. If you don't already have one, I would highly recommend using a dehydrator to ensure full paint cure in a minimal amount of time. I usually only use old s'kool Testor's paints and very rarely have any problems. My rule of thumb is the paint is fully cured if I can't smell it anymore.

Nice build Pat, very clean. Your pics look good too. I like the black background for that car, makes the yellow pop.

Thanks again, my Ford '32 Phantom Vickie on the banner, it certainly gives me a big boost see these builds up there! Thanks Pat. I think it works out better this way.

I don't have one either but I heard it's a Hemi Under Glass chassis with a 'Vair body. I have HUG kit and the chassis does look the same.
The video moves a little slow but lays it all out.

What y'all think, real or photo manipulated? Either way I like it. Looks like a '59 or '60 El Camino roof possibly grafted on to a Caddy flower car.

Very realistic detailing here. The engine on/and the pallet looks great especially with the "tarp" over it.

If I recall correctly, those last three digits indicate MSRP: 149 = $1.49 and 200 = $2.00, which is what the kits cost back then. I am not sure what you got for the extra fifty one cents back then but I assume it was expanded parts selection (or maybe just inflation?). jb I think you're right about the price in that number. IIRC the $2.00 kits did contain extra parts and other goodies for example the '57 Ford had steerable wheels, body putty, sandpaper and a small sheet of adhesive interior material. The '57 Chevy had the same as well as the '50 Ford. Note how the middle group of digits reflects the model year of the subject. And in the case of the '29 Ford there was two complete kits. In the early 60's that .50 cents was a fairly big chunk of allowance/yard mowing money!

Both of the kits and the instructions are dated 1963. Just curious what is the kit number? Also are the last three digits 149 or 200? Paul Here's a scan of the one I have...
