I think we all have the same idea. I've got loads on the shelf with parts I've collected just waiting for me to build them.

Started this AMT 34 coupe a while ago. First thing I did was fit a Revell 32 Ford front crossmember and axle and made up some shocks using shortened Revell 29 shocks and chassis mounts. The rear axle was made using centre section from the Tony Nancy drag car and the axle bells, split wishbones and spring from the Yellow fever Topolino with scratch built shocks mounted on an AMT 28 Ford crossmember. Wheels are from 3D scale parts with the front tyres from the Yellow fever and the rear slicks from the Revell 68 Dodge Dart. Engine is from the Revell 62 Impala with scratch built engine and gearbox mounts. The body is from Drag City Casting with the kit fenders and hood. Thanks for looking Lee

I use Aizu tape.it comes in sizes from 2.5mm to 0.4mm. I get from ebay

No not after all the work on the body

Here is my completed Chevy van. Scratch built arches,front valence and sills with the sidepipes in them. Its been made into a short wheelbase and the rear doors smoothed out and a custom rear light and a custom grille. The wheels are from Aoshima. The paint is candy yellow over metalflake silver,gunmetal and light gunmetal. Thanks for looking Lee

Small update Got the rear suspension all in along with the engine and gearbox mounts. On to making a fuel tank and prop shaft and then sort the front brakes. Thanks for looking Lee

Go for it! I really enjoyed the build process

The front suspension is grom Motobitz here in UK. I thought it looked like Mt Torque when I first sat it on its wheels!

No I'm going to open the hood.

Here is my newest WIP. Revell Thames panel van with the chassis cleaned up of the old gasser suspension and then braced up. The rear axle is from a 32 Ford which has been narrowed. The front is a IFS from Motobitz. The wheels and tyres are from the parts box with the rears using the 32 backs. Still got to finish off the rear suspension and then start the engine mounts for the small block Ford I'm using Thanks for looking Lee

I saw the grille and thought it would look great on my WIP

Thats great. Thanks for the info

Can I ask where the photo etch grille insert came from?

Thanks for the great comments guys

Here is my first completed build of the year. Testors Chezoom build straight out of the box. Painted Proscale paints GM bright aqua metallic. Nice kit but had a few fit issues near the end. Thanks for looking Lee

Fantastic build

Update. All the patterns are now done. Just letting it settle for a bit and then some clear. Thanks for looking Lee

Small update, Got the first stripes down using light gunmetal and metalflake silver. Put a light coat of clear on ready for the next step. Thanks for looking Lee

I use customisable sanding sticks from Ultimate Modelling Products here in the UK

Here is my custom Chevy van. Started by smoothing out the rear and removing the lights and number plate mount and created a new rear light. I then made a new front valence and slightly reduced the size of the grille. opening and making a new grille. I then made it into a short wheelbase version and made the arch extensions and new sills to take the sidepipes. I also made the front spoiler so it connects to the front arches. Now in primer and few spots to sort and then to paint. Thanks for looking Lee

Thanks my first one. Used bits of a glue bomb to in fill the gaps once I had chopped it

Here is my Plymouth Coupe. Built as a curbside with moulded fenders and frenched headlights using 57 Ford rings. The rear lights are 62 Impala. It also has a scale 3 inch chop. Paint is Firecracker red pearl rattle can with Tamiya clear

My latest WIP chopped 41 Plymouth

Now that's cool

It painted over an onion bag
