    So ****in rad! I can not wait to see this machine in person. The lightest blue panel job its absolutely perfect. It just has a soft/glowing sorta feel. I say trim the interior with some angel hair to finish off an angelic look.

    Is there a nicer '60's kustom out there? '60 Stareliners and '60 Impalas are two of the best lookng of all the 1960's cars out there.
    MAN THAT THING IS SHARP!!!

    Wow, that's pretty huge praise! Exotica (a '60) is my second favorite, only to Sam's Buick. Bring it to Texas and let's get 'em side by side

    I have been trying to come up with something cool to say, but my jaw is laying on the floor in awe right now...

    I absolutley love the way this thing is coming together...

    Every photoshop seems to make it look that much cooler and I can not wait to see it in person!

    You going to make the Cow Palace with it?

    Good Job Alex and Kirk!

    That car will really be great when completed, some damn good ideas. Just remember one thing though, if all the chrome on the roof and beltline are going back on the car it will really influence the total look of the final product. Having had several Starliners and painting them different colors I would have to say that that much chrome usually looks better on a darker shade as opposed to a lighter shade.

    Wow, is it just me or is Gambino building one beauty after another. Seems every thing I see is just spot on, just makes you want to keep looking from every angle.

    Watching you all Photoshop this thing and help out KIRK! is pretty damn cool! Makes you wonder how this was done before the computer! Lots of taping, retaping, beer, etc..............

    I'm not an artist, and I'm very impressed seeing whats in you guys' heads.
     
  26. Kirk,
    When I was in College in the 60's the Ford bodyshop in Decorah,Iowa had a '60 Red Metalflake Starliner. I fell in love with with the bodystyle. You've got a "Beauty" there!
    You are "Right on" with it. Can't wait to see the finished car!
