  1. i just got a 55 pro sportsman and wanted to see how you built it, what theme you went with, and any issues it may have thanks
  2. this build was awesome, i love the color choice, the stance, the detail, just a sick build, did have a question tho, i was wondering where can i find the msd boxes and all the other eletronic stuff you used, and wireing that went in and out of it? thanks
  3. im not sure if this is the right place for this question or not, if it isnt im sorry, i just got over the weekend a '55 chevy pro sportsman kit, i havent started it yet but will prob first of the year, i was wondering if theres anywhere i could get controll boxes for it, different wheels and tires, pretty much anything a drag car pro mod pro street etc would use to controll timeing, boost, nos, rpm readings, i want to make this car as real looking as i can with as much detail as i can handle, and im looking for the same type of stuff for 2 pro street cars i have as well, any links, or pics of things i can use and where to get them would be great thanks alot, cant wait to hear back, and again sorry if this isnt the right place for this question, feel free to move if need be

  5. thanks alot guys, im gonna be working on a new build prettty soon, im collecting bits and peices for it such as a fuel cell a-pillar gage pod, wheels, tach for in side, itll be a v-8 conversion s-10, thanks for the kind words again, im trying and i hope the next one is just a lil bit better than this one thanks again
  6. i have this 1940 blown panel that i was going for a shop truck kinda look, its flat black with flat clear, the motor is a buick v-8 that came in the kit, with 2 different setups for 3 carbs or a blower so i went blower, it also came with a flat head but i wasnt goin for factory look, no where near as detalied as 99% of the builds on here but ive never did anything other than box stock, so im learning from thes site big time let me know what you guys think

  14. grimreaper, id love to have a ram air hood i thought when you said you were gonna make a hood for this model that it was a cowl hood, id so much rather have a ram air style hood, if that is what your makeing ill wait and use the scoop for something else let me know when i can buy one and how much thanks ericstone, i bought the hoood off a fellow on ebay who does resin parts, i cant remember his name but the gaps werent right the end of the hood pretty much came to a point, just want happy with it, and i dont know if youd say drg truck, its more along the lines of a weekend toy, that could win a race or two and a show all in the same weekend kind of build, this build is bascily what id like to do to an s-10 some day even tho v-8's in s-10's have been done millions of times, its just something ive always found very cool thanks
  15. its an amt 1994 ss s-10 im trans forming into a v-8 conversion, with a 350 and 350 turbo trans out of my 84 gmc the motor is 60% done i like to do them first not sure why just how i am, i shaved the 3rd brake light from cab roof and the gas door. also the body side moldings, i bought a resin cowl hood for it but it was really warped and missed shaped so i saved the scoop and ditched the rest of hood, im goona some how mold it on to stock hood, (any ideas on how to do this im all ears first custom build ever) bought pegasus 19" "t's" also in the pic with bed i got resin fuel cell which is prety much where its gonna go and a resin a-pillar 3 gauge pod sitting in front of bed i think im goning to mold it to the top of the dash instead of the a-pillar but well see the color on the engine block is testors one coat lacquer lime ice, and the body color is going to be testors lacquer blazing black on top or bottom, and the lime ice on top or bottom one or the other will be the top color and the other the bottom color any sugestions on that? or ideas? thanks heres the pics its a slow going process dont have much time to work on it but will post as much as i can
  16. wow this thing is sick i really like the lights it really sets it off cant wait to see more
  17. looks good ill be watching this one i have an 1984 gmc 4x4 i want to turn into a 2wd stepside to match my 1:1 ill be watching cant wait to see more
  18. im about to get the 2 stall grage with office and bath room from smbc just to start in to the dio world, and i wanted to make it look liked its been used when its done being built, i dont want it to look like it was justbought, so how could i make the floor look like concrete? and the out side a little weathered? and maybe an oil spot or 2 on the floor? i dont have an air brush yet going to get one what would be a good one to get for not alot of money? thanks
  19. lookimg good man, i hope when i go to build mine it looks this good, cant wait to see more
  20. well i was gonna just use a stepside 2wd model but the only one i can find is in the 70's my 1:1 stepside is a 1983so thats why i want to use the 84 gmc since its the dsame body style as my 1:1 unless thers a 2wd version out there i dont kno about? and i need to find the bed and gat abd fenders i had one but it broke when we moved sadley
  21. would that hood fit a non extreme s-10? the one im building is a ss version, that im in the process of trying to figur out how to stuff a v-8 in, and how soon do you think youll be casting your hoods?
  22. is there any one that makes a cowl hood for a 1994-96 chevy s-10, ive looked all over and havent found one thanks
  23. i love this shop i wish there was more to see hope there will be
  24. anything you may have to say about good or bd id like to hear the wheels are just there to show what ones im useing, its deff not as nice as most of the builds on here, thanks again
