  1. Hey Guys!Greetings from Germany!A long time i was searching for a rebuilder to try to make a pro Steet out of an Düsenberg!here is the resultI used the 2 Parts vinyl Wides and used the original whitewall from the Kit as a second part!The roof is the custom roof of an AMT thunderbird!I detailed the engine,and put a turbo in it!And i had to mod the frame!I even changed the Muffler for more sound !i removed the spare wheels from the fenders and put one spare on the back,deleting the baggage box!And a pro street needs wheely bars!the instrument panel was changed to an AMT Corvette Splitwindow panel!I removed the engine hood closed net and used real net so that you can see the engine from the outside!I lowered both axles(which is not easy on this kit)!I have to say it was trouble but fun to build and mod!Especially because the plastic is brittle and does not really react to plastic or super glue!
  2. I did the same to the CJ because as i said before,its the nearly same Body with the same wrong FACE!Only differnence is the hole for the Louvers and the deeper mark on the C-pillar for the Mustang emblem!Everything else is the same
  3. Hey Guys!here are my promissed pictures of the front fascia changes to make it look better and the changes to the rear quarter window! 1st picture shows where i did the triangle cut to make it possible to get the fender down(Grill fits perfect after sanding of the bottom,its only put in to show that everything fits) 2+3 shows the much more straight and now much more downed line of the upper line! 4 shows the release cut i ve done to make it easier to press down the fender fronts 5 shows the corrected quarter window and the readded trim I had to sand down the wall in hight where the radiator goes and part 57(Radiator top)because the hood now lies deeper then before
  4. The Body of the CJ and the Boss 302 are 100% the same in point of the "wrong" front fascia!The Body is NOT more accurater then the CJ Body!
  5. Iam very disappointed about this so called"New Tool"Its a complete repop of the CJ!Even most of the parts for the cj are inside!And it even has the still wrong fascia!Nothing changed!ecxept the added parts for the 302!The front fascia change is not a big deal to correct!like the rear sidewindow!Some 3 hours and a little fiddling and done!Will soon post some pics of the corrections!If iam able to post them
  6. Hi Guys!Iam a 57 year old german that started building models when i was 15 thanks to a couple of american soldiers stationed here in Germany in my homecity that where friends of my parents!i started building everything,but at first i was building mostly tanks in 1/72 scale!around 18 i got the Muscle Car Fever and was building many Amt kits under the MAtchbox label!Then i went to 1/35 scale and did this for a long time.I threw away my old Car and Truck kits (which i could kill myself for today)and gave all my other models to my cousins!Some 15 years ago the Car Kit virus struck me again with the Italerie Caddillac Town Car which i wanted to chop and Hot rod!Since then my Car Kit stash accumulated a whopping close to 400 Kits of all brands in 1/24/25 of mostly American Automobiles!I even could lay my hands on some old and (especially here in Europe)rare Johan,MPC and Monogram Kits!My problem is that i have so many ideas for too many kits that i rarely complete my Kits!I have at least 50 Kits in various states of modification and customization or detailing!My problem is that i am not able to build a Kit OOB!As soon i open the box,or even before i buy a kit my brain starts modifying them!So in these 15 years i was only able to complete 5 kits(shame on me)But there are too many kits out there who want to be modified!So i cant help myself!
