2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread
Jantrix replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
I'm not sure what kit these wheels/tires came from but I've been saving them for a special project. I have the bosses modified for mounting. I'm very pleased with the kit engineers. Some forethought was involved. The wheel mounting posts aren't just some arbitrary size, they are 2.5mm in the front and 3.0mm in the rear. Making it easy to modify and re-drill the wheel bosses. I also added disc brakes to the inner surface of the wheel back so that it looks pretty authentic. More soon. -

Scratch building an EFI intake. I'm going to add power steering, modern wheels/tires, and brakes. Paint, I'm undecided on but this Impala has a beautiful bodyline so a two-tone is likely. -

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread

Yep. Still around. Just not around these parts. About two years ago, my modeling ADHD was kicking my butt pretty hard to the point where I got burned out. So I started doing a little fiction writing. I've been pretty deep in that now for about a year and a half. But lately, I've been looking at the stash and the state my hobby room has devolved into, and I think it's time to clean up the cobwebs. The seventeenth running of the Cannonball CBP. Man, that is pretty darn cool. I never would have dreamed it. -

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread
Jantrix replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
Well, It's been nearly two years since I've done any model building. Another hobby has occupied me. I think maybe it's time to clear off my bench and get back to it. I think I'll throw my hat in the ring here if that's okay. A build like this with fairly minimal mods seems like a good way to ease back into it. Sign me up for an AMT 1967 Impala. It looks like a nice kit. Lots of detail. I think my mods will be a wheel and disc brake upgrade, a scratch-built EFI intake on the kit 427, and some headers. Paint will be the real challenge. -

I'm very happy to see this CBP still going. I saw last year's winner and it was magnificent. Keep on building guys. -

Revell wide wall decals - any advice
Jantrix replied to Jantrix's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was not successful with those decals. I'll be painting them after all. -
Michelle, the old MPC '67 builds up just fine, but the Revell kit is far superior.

Great stuff guys. I might just take in in a rat rod direction. Seems to be missing from this group.

2023 Cannonball Run-What-You-Brung Build Thread
Jantrix replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
Just a heads up on that 2JZ. I put one in the AMT Pacer wagon for the Cannonball some years ago. You will find the twin turbo set up is plumbed backwards. Some sort of error on the kit designer's part. I recommend perhaps redesigning the intake for a large singe turbo than the tiny litle ones that come with the kit. -
Bernard, I assume so. I got it from my LHS. Thanks for posting your work, as always it's hot rod gold. Howard, I dig the highboy.

I just picked up the latest release, and believe it or not, this is the first time this kit has ever found its way into my stash. If you are familiar with my work at all, you know I'm sure as heck, not going to build it as an Ala Kart. So, in the spirit of creativity and imagination, please show us what else you guys did with the kit. Gotta get the creative juices flowing!

Looks very Italian. V12 Ferrari. Muy bello! -
Looking good! That's one of my favorite kits.

My son built one as a kid and had some difficulty, but he got through it. A builder of your caliber should have no issues. I've always thought it would make a slick Batmobile.
-
I'm finally gonna give these a try from the Revell '32 5-window. Anything I should know before trying this? I've got setting solution. I've only got one set and I really want these tires as white walls. Thanks.

Sent you a PM.
-
Thanks. If I'm not mistaken it has the black car on the box.

I might get in on this myself. There are a lot of models dating from the 60s/70s with wild custom parts that look so terribly dated now, but I've always wanted to just build one, regardless of how tacky it looks today. I've had this kit sitting on my shelf forever. Don't pencil me in yet, we'll see how my Cannonball racer comes along, but I'll give this a hard look. Looks like fun.

Listen to Chris Titus' stand up bit on his Viper. Hilarious. -

Okay, I think I'm in this thing. My building time isn't great so I'm going to do one that's a Cannonballer right out of the box. Speed, reliability, handling, and style. Zero mods. Pencil me in with a Lindberg 1937 Ford Custom Convertible.
