rhs856 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 I stepped up my game a little with this one. For starters, I made my first tilt front end. It didn't match up perfectly, but not bad for a first try! I also wet sanded the paint and clear coat, used scratch x and wax, and to show off the gloss, I made a photo booth. Enjoy!
sjordan2 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Nice job, but HOLY MOLEY, how big are those picture files? I have the fastest download rate available, but this page took forever to load. Those pictures look big in this thread, and they're shown to be 20% to 25% scale. Can you post smaller images?

I got a 10 MB camera for my birthday. Yeah, they're kinda big. Since the page shrinks them, I didn't tihink about making them smaller. I'll have to do that on my next post! Thanks for looking!

Lownslow Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 pictures took a while to load but thats a cool build like a pre cadzilla car
rhs856 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Posted July 10, 2011 Here are some pics of the interior. Hopefully these load a little faster!
Terry Sumner Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Meaning nothing as to the quality of your model ...it's very nice...but I kinda laughed a bit all by myself here. Why? .... because the first thing I thought of when seeing the pics with the body off was of Sheriff Buford T. Justice's police car after it lost it's roof in Smokey and the Bandit!

Skydime Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Well, you've taken an already great kit and knocked it out of the park. That tilt front end looks like it belongs on that kit OOB.

charlie8575 Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 Very nice job. MassCar's theme next year will be "Goodbye, Mercury." C'mon down and bring that with you next year, I think it will be very well-received. www.masscar.com Charlie Larkin

Hopefully it isn't on a "school night," it looks like you guys are about 3 hours away. Teaching antsy freshman the next day would be a bear!

Teaching antsy freshman the next day would be a bear! The show is on a Sunday, but you'll be home in plenty of time for school- over by about 3:30-4:00. High school freshmen or college freshmen?
