  1. I followed the build of this car, and it is incredible what you have done with it.
  2. In previous years, I build 2 to 5 models all year. Now that I have devoted room to the hobby, I have built 7 so far. Other than my poor eyesight, shaky hands, I feel like a kid again. In all fairness, the Gold G-van, Racer's Wedge, and 57 chevy have been painted for a few years. The van was 60% done, and the Chrystler Atlantic was a snap kit. I do like to have a paint fest every so often. I will paint 2-6 bodies at a time, and once they cure, they get wrapped and placed back in the box for future builds. It makes it nice because I am not waiting for bodies to dry.
  3. Sweet Cadillac. I love GM D-Bodies.
  4. Great collection of 58-70 B-bodies.
  5. I have always wanted to build this car after seeing the movie. It took a few decades to say the least. I think I started actually building it about 3 years ago. The paint is at least 2 years old. I used Testors Yellow enamel, with two coats of Testors Xtream lacquer Wet look clear. The engine is a BBC, pieced together from a couple different kits. I kept the hood for just like Popular Hot Rodding did.
  6. Great looking truck. I did the same thing to build a military M880 Dodge truck, and the Mopar muscle truck from Roadkill garage.
  7. I remember having built the Motorcraft IMSA Mustang that I was way out of my league. Yours came out better than mine
  8. The lower front valance is a fairly flat piece on the 510s. You can probably make the piece out of sheet styrene if you can't find one.
  9. That is awesome. I love the grill
  10. I am not sure, but I think you have the first completed ST Blazer on here. Great build you have there.
  11. Outstanding overlander. I love H1s. Such a great example with the camper. The paint is great too.
  12. 79 10th anniversary Trans am. I love kits that have no bar code. I built this kit back in 1979. It was started, and the t-tops were cut out with a chainsaw, but the price was right. A set of Monogram/Revell 1980 Mustang/Capri TRX wheels that showed up in a regular envelope. I was able to glue the pieces back.
  13. I only purchased this kit since I loved the lines of it, and it is so reminiscent of the original 4 Bugatti Atlantic type 57SC. It was a quick build as it is a Snap kit from Linburg. The hardest part was detailing it, and waiting for the paint to dry. The interior color should have been a darker red/maroon, but I liked the mix I made up of testors rust, and flat red.
  14. Great build. I did the same thing based on a car my neighbor had when I was a kid. His wife had a matching wagon.
  15. Great build. I love the color
  16. Great build. I did one similar. The Nova wagon is a fun kit to get creative with.
  17. Outstanding build.
  18. Both Monte Carlos are Beautiful.
  19. Outstanding build. I have one in my stash getting New Hampshire State police treatment.
  20. Beautiful build. I love what you have done so far. Great color choice.
  21. Calling it done. This car has been very frustrating, but I am glad I chose to go with my own work, rather than break down and buy a 1968 conversion kit. I must thank Fireball model works for the steel Mopar wheels, and Iceman for the Hemi Headers. Finished car.
  22. A frustrating build for sure. Building a 68 Hemi Barracuda from a ATM 1969 Barracuda started by reshaping the hood, and header panel to eliminate the hump of the 69 model. Building a 68 tail panel and taillights. Sourcing a Hemi and Hemi hood scoop from the Revell Hemi Dart kit, and getting the Correct steel wheels from Fireball Model works, and Hemi headers from Iceman. Now the L023 Dart has a friend. The Dart is a 4-speed car, and the Barracuda is auto
  23. I did find those, but I could not bring myself to spend 95 dollars for one.... Yet. I will have a weak moment at some point and hit the pay now button. I always wanted a blue GLHS, but I owned a black 85 GLH with red interior.
