'64 Galaxie
Another mild ride from my bench! I have little to do before this is finished. This is a curbside kit with no engine. The whitewalls are original Firestones from the old kits in the 1960's and the rims...can't tell ya where they came from but they are sort of like Radir mags but have reversed spoke features. I will be adding spinners to the mags.

'60 Merc
Here it is finally done! I restored/rebuilt this car and did some very mild touches. I shaved the scripts and crests/badges, lowered it a bit, changed the wheelbase so it looked better, fixed windsheild frame because it was busted in the middle and the photo can speak for the rest.

My favorite Revell '57 Black Widow 150's so far
This kit took off as being one of the most popular purchases this year. So far the builds I have seen , people are enjoying them a lot. I might pick one up sometime.

Ron S.' '60 Merc
I was going through the archives on TRaK and ran across this baby. It's the reason I wanted a '60 vert to build in the first place! Before this I wanted a hardtop and I still do. This looks so clean and nice with that paint!

'60 Merc Vert going Mild!
A few months back a good friend of mine Randy Webster invited me over to his house. We looked at his models and he had this on his shelf. I was looking for one in a big way at the time. I commented on it and he said "pshh yeah I bought that at a yard sale for like a quarter"...I said "NO SHIT?"...He said yeah and when he could tell I had been wanting one....he said "you can have it if you want, it's not my style"...I didn't argue!
Well it's time to get this thing on the bench! It's swimming in the purple lake now. The WHOLE thing practically fell apart! The only thing glue was the roll bar and it came out easy....everyhing else was "put together" with NO glue! Man what a NICE gift! AMT '60 Mercury Parklane....not issued since 1960!
