Yowza that is burly!

The aperture is low in the shots. When I shoot for magazine entries, I set it between f-11 - f-22. Depends on my background, lighting, lens, distance from the model and if I'm using a tripod or holding the camera. There's a "few" YouTube videos on this subject.

Something up on the cutting board. I scratch built the A/C box.

I dont know how you ol' timers built these 6+ piece bodies without a BFH!?!

I have a few people upset with me, using a first release 39 Ford Coupe. 

Hahahaha....

That's not a '39 Ford. That's a '46-'48 Ford. It was originally an IMC kit. Not a Testors. I built one a few years ago. It will actually go together pretty well if you take your time and it has some cool features. The door hinges are junk though. I glued the doors shut on mine.

I realized the typo right after I posted it.  Got busy and forgot to edit it. I have 4 of these still in the wrapper. 2 coupes and 2 convertibles, one each in Testers & IMC.

Been thinking of this for a few years now and figured Dom’s Charger would be the best way to go, though I do need a regular Charger hood unless I want to build a scoop to make that look like it’s got a little ventilation for heat extraction.

I’m using the wheels and tires from the Revell Wrangler Rubicon kit, which are taller than the slicks in the “Fast” kit, but between that kits front and rear tires in width. I’ll probably need to open the fenders and quarters by the thickness of the chrome trim for more tire clearance.

Quick edit, put two of the TJ Rubi wheels in two of the tires from that kit and shot another profile pic with the wheels in the tires…….

Best part of these wheels, since the most of the Jeeps built from ‘84-‘06 and all of the B-Bodies are 5 on 4.5”, this would be a plausible wheel option on a real build like this will be!

First build is the AMT '66 Nova Pro street...we prefer Chevy II 'round here so I'll stick to that. :) Resin hood, wing, chin spoiler. Have big and little slots coming for it. Will have blown 572 with a hat. 

'66 Chevy II Pro Mod resin body. Using the Glidden Pro Stock chassis. Ignore the scoop. It's going to be the "Nitro Nova" with a top fuel motor just for fun.
