Looks very nice and it looks like you were able to get the decals on the fenders to lay down also. 

Thanks Dave , They all tore and never did completely lay down , but good enough for the girls I go with !!!

Thanks , Mike

I like it, it has the old school look.

Thanks Ray. I loved the color on the box and wanted to build it that way.

When I was (very) young , this was what a hot rod looked like for sure.

Thanks , Mike

I finally finished her and the kit had a couple wheel challenges but the kit was pretty nice with lots of extra parts.

I can tell... trust me...  I want to see and hear REAL cars, not a computer game... 

As for acting abilities, Steve McQueen wasn't the world's best actor, he was just perfect for the roles he played.  Same with Eastwood.  ("Le Mans" was actually a pretty boring flick...) Now, James Garner, he was a far better actor and also did a film with actual racing footage, "Grand Prix".  He was also FAR better looking... 

By the way, are you telling me I am not allowed to have a dissenting opinion?  Because if I want to be harassed I'll head on over to Facebook... 

I think you have a right not to go see it but no right to critique it without seeing it.

Your loss.

Loved it and will likely go see it again and buy the DVD.

I had never built this kit but always wanted to and always enjoyed the box art, so here we go.

Love the kit so far. Had to glue the hood to fit correctly. The decals just would not lay down for me with Solvaset or Micro Sol but they are OK.

The body is looking good, Mike. 

Thanks Andy , I hope to finish it soon but a lot of body paint is required.

Hope you will enjoy the building of yours.

Mike

[1/8 scale Lindberg Exterminator Build]

Here is a little progress.  The wheels and tires took forever. 

I have the body cut out for the intake but not sure if I will use the body yet.

Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Thank you very much.I was just testing things on this car,and decided to rust it out.Even though if it was a real car,it would be a fiberglass body..But I think much of the Swamp Thing is made out of fiberglass.And the rusty wrap looks wild to me.I mean it could also be the fact that the car has the narrowed cut roof line,as well.

I love the look of rat rod dragsters!!

Nice Build

I saw it today at a matinee as well and even being a car guy , I thought it was SUPERB acting by everyone in the film. 

Loved all the tidbits that tie the film together.
