Thanks Gary..! Here gents is a very old AMT model...1959 Buick Invicta convertible restoration I did of one of my dads oldies. She had many custom parts glued to it and trim damage from them but I think it came out ok in the end. I like scale figures they add a extra touch but their just sitting in it. Poor thing had fender skirts,custom tire carrier,and other strange custom parts all over it when I started the restoration. Thanks for looking gents..I hope you all like it.

One of the most beautiful Buicks ever. A vast improvement over the gaudy chromed scow they put out in '58.

I'd be happy to post them too Mark.

Thank you gents..! Coming from you all its a honor. I have a problem..I just cant let these old things die I am driven to try to save them if at all possible. Even the ones that cant be will end up with a new life with me of some sorts. Going to try to get more photos to you all soon of it. Thanks gents..glad you all liked her.

Thank you Mike....it was very rewarding to see her make a comeback to what she should be like again.

More pic's guys. Can a mod turn em round for me, my computer is down and I can't do it on my iPad, sorry Mark. Looks good my friend. 

Done.

Weird.... I had to rotate 90 degrees, save then rotate back 90 degrees again and save again before they came out right.

Nice to see more of your build Mark.

Thanks gents...photo quality is very poor though..sorry.

The lady in the back seat has some real funky pants on. Looks like she raided a low rider interior for the fabric.

Thank you Al.

Mark, I would suggest a white posterboard background for photos. You can get a 2'x3' sheet for a buck at walmart. I got them for .50c each at the dollar store!
