  1. thanks guys! I'm a child of the 70's so I'm not too familiar with the Deuce. I kept searching the Internet for a Ford engine that looked like this. A hemi explains a lot. Very cool...now I definitely have to fit some plug wires to make this look real!
  2. Hey guys - I have this kit (32 Ford Revell link below) and the "older V-8" does not appear to be a flathead, but they have 4 holes in each valve cover. Is this a ford engine that had plug wires that came through? Or is this just a silly looking rocker cover. Thanks! http://www.hobbylinc.com/htm/rmx/rmx854228.htm
  3. Wicked man! That would be one loud ride! how about some close-ups of that sweet engine work?
  4. neat job! I like the wheels! My daughter wanted me to relay that she really likes the background set.
  5. wow, inspiring! Nice foil work. Great looking Super Bee.
  6. very cool GP! Those wheels are spot on and the engine looks spectacular. Well done.
  7. Thanks guys. I basically had to cut the rear suspension and refit it. The color is actually a GM red that I thought looked close to the Ford Current red on the SHOs. I always liked the '90 wheels with the "SHO" lug covers. For the intake a mix a touch of gold paint with silver to get that anodized look. Great fun! I gotta dig up some more 80's/90's kits!
  8. Thanks guys! She has an artsy side, but I don't think she'll have quite the car bug that I do! She's really enjoying reading the feedback!
  9. very cool! i dig the rear wheel flat black look...very realistic
  10. I've always wanted a real first Gen SHO. This is that silly old kit in which the intake, wheels, and headlights come in chrome. I made the best of it. I lowered the stance down from 4x4 height as well.
  11. Hi all. My 8 year old girl completed this Revell Mustang. It is her first model (I helped just a little). The only pink paint I had was some ancient brush-on Pactra paint. It was brushed on, sanded, and clear coated! She did a great job with the decals too. She wants to get another model, which is cool.
  12. Great topic! This is always an issue for me. I have two young daughters (3 and 7). I have to spend some wife quality time after the kids go to bed. So, my time is pretty much 5 to 5:30 AM or so. I might shoot some paint at 9:30 at night or so. I've tried to work when the kids are doing crafts, but usually I can't get two seconds in before they are over picking up my paint or something! Modeling, however, is easier to work on than the MG I have sitting in the garage. The bodywork requires me changing clothes and making lots of noise...can't be done at 5 AM!
  13. very nice! I like to see a nice clean build. Did the kit come with the whitewalls or did you have to apply those as a decal?
  14. Nice! What brand/type of paint did you use? Does this kit have an automatic or 4-speed?
  15. Hi - just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. Haven't been building models long, but it is a nice change from working on my 1:1 '73 MGB restoration. With two young daughters and a house to take care of, I can't find the time for welding/cutting/grinding on a full size car. But, pulling a model out and getting a couple things done is a real nice alternative! I'm really enjoying the projects people post and the tips. Below are some pics of a Revell '69 Charger I'm working on - nothing great..went with black Krylon and some 1:1 automotive clear I had around. I made some plug wires with the metal from bag ties. The 440 is a much better orange in person! Bill
