Ace-Garageguy Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) I just pulled this old girl out of the pile, thanks to your deuce thread. She's another one of my "favorites". Think I can get her presentable by the first of November for the ACME meet... EDIT: Never mind. I didn't read the rules.

Snake45 Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 So take a few pics of where it is now, and then jump in for the next round, which will start around first of October (assuming there's any interest). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am too... my only complaint is (and this isn't about the product) but I wish I could use the clear decal sheet on dark colors but I'd have to get a printer that prints white, gold or silver. I beleive decals that come in kits have a two part printing process, one printer for the white and another for the designs. I could be wrong but the backs usually have a thin white layer of ink...

disconovaman Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 "Killing it Gene!" The Chevelle is 99.9% finished... well, as much as I want the build to be... My vision was always to finish the car the way I built the original one back in 1988, (minus my little cousin's fingerprint right in the middle of the roof... lol!) As I had stated before it is a replica of a 69 Chevelle, this guy in my town named Steve Fitzgerald owned. Like many street machines of the day it evolved over the years... But I built this way it was when I built the first kit. It was a Big block from the factory but he burnt a piston and replaced it with a 350 small block. It also had satin Centerlines on it which he later swapped for polished Centerlines around 91-92 (pretty much the last time I seen the car). I'd like to know where the car went now that I've been reminiscing about it. It was a show stopper... It had white interior 4 speed, deep sounding exhaust (before flowmasters) so, not sure what mufflers... We'd park in town and hang out and watch everyone cruise around. Good times! I like doing these kinds of builds because it allows me to provoke old memories of my younger days. As I'm working on this kit I'm thinking of the real car and the model I built of it back then too. Very inspiring I must say. Now on to finishing up the chopped Ford. I'm in the middle of packing for the move and doing small repairs to this house.. all while refinishing old furniture... (my new hobby) but I'll make time to get it whipped! lol thanks agian for this thread, it really does work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Not entered in the project, but an old long dead project finally completed! Full report in the link below. I am hoping to finish my 50 Ford Jitney by the end of this month. Scratch the '57 Nomad, I haven't touched it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Been having a severe case of the blahs. Just have not been motivated . However looming deadline has gotten me back in gear. Got some color on the 32. Needs another coat. Need a checklist to get things wrapped. Heres a couple mockup photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However looming deadline has gotten me back in gear. I feel your pain, my friend. Have made little actual progress on any of the 3 Vettes, have done NOTHING on the '57 Chevy (meet you next round, Tom?). Am now working feverishly to try to drag the '69 Camaro across the finish line. I just now finished off a little task that I've been putting off for over a year involving the headlights. It's not gonna end up the way I wanted it when I started it, but I'm hoping to have it DONE enough to declare it so by the deadline. DRIVE ON, EVERYONE! GITTER DONE!

And these will be my final builds at the old house as we're preparing to move so I've gotta pack it all up and be out by next Friday! The 1969 Chevelle and 55 Ford Chopped Top Pick up. Both builds are done simple although neither were simple builds, if that makes since? I had some trouble with the Chevelle originally because I had a 69-72 Chevelle junkyard that I got rid of 3 years ago and had pretty much all the parts to finish this one so I had to collect the parts to build it...

disconovaman Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I had a clear coat malfunction with the Ford last week so I had to strip the hood and other body panels. it's alot simpler than my original design. I had aspirations to build a pull behind BBQ pit trailer for it and wooden bed racks and bumpers. but I abandoned all those ideas just to finish up for the deadline. I'll have to revisit those details as well as adding more decals later on. I will say that I have no desire to build this model again in the future. I'll see y'all in the Next round... I hope...

I started this in 1991 used Fred Cady decals, my resin cast Honeycomb rims fuzzy fur on the interior. Finally got the Firebird done in the process I also finished a AMT 2008 Dodge Challenger. Here are some pics. The Firebird II used Fred Cady decals and my own resin Honeycomb rims with SHABO marking, the Challenger was built box stock. I am in if we do this again.
