Ok I was able to get a little more done with this project. I took a hood from the 69 nova kit and cut out the cowl and I'm gonna attempt to graft it on the the chevelle hood. Hopefully it blends in well. Also got one of the doors hinged and the trunk. This build is going to be done as a Malibu street machine. Waiting on some aftermarket goodies in the mail ?. Thanks for looking

Nevermind found it in the tips section

Cutting the panels out wasn't all that bad, having trouble getting the hinges to work though, anyone know a good way of doin them?

Being that I have two projects going on right now, I decided to add another lol. 66 chevelle from lindberg, I decided this one is going to have opening doors and trunk, this is the first time I'm doing this so hopefully it turns out ok. Got as far as taking the doors and trunk out, and trying to get the hinges to work now. More to come soon.

Thanks mike, the candy red is testors enamel, the gold base coat is also testors but I'm pretty sure I used the one coat laquer for that, and the clear coat is also testors laquer

Thanks guys, hopefully today I can get some more done on this build, been having a hard time with the photo etch belts popping off the seats.

Thanks! This is the polar lights kit

Ok I made up some wire of different sizes and color, looks close enough for me. Hopefully today I can't get most of the parts painted. I also te coated the body with stainless steel metalizer, the aluminum plate was just a shade too light for my liking.

Decided to step out of my comfort zone a little bit with this one. This is a build that I'm doing for my brother as a birthday gift. We grew up on back to the future so I figured this would make a cool little gift. It's the polar lights kit. The body did come with a nice steel finish on it but it seemed to have a yellowish tint to it, so I hit it with some metalizer and scuffed it up with some 600 grit paper. I also decided to sand off the molded in wires that run down the side of the car so I can make my own.

Ok just got this in the mail, parts look phenomenal I will definitely be ordering more from future attraction.

Thanks so much for the kind words guys! I was real happy with the way this one came out. It's a great kit and a fun build, I'll definitely be doing another willys in the near future.

I'm not really sure if it's four speed or not, I don't know how to tell the difference lol. But as far as the shifter goes I just ordered one from future attraction specifically for this build so once that arrives I'll continue on the interior. I got a little bit further with just a few small things. I'm gonna be putting a chute on the back so I used one from pro tech, and I put the distributor in but didn't wire it up yet, distributor is from MAD.

Thank you guys! It's the revell yenko kit but with some modification and slixx decals

I'm looking for an airbrush that can paint sharp fine lines, almost pencil thin. Also something good for detailing. Any suggestions ?

Guys thanks so much for the compliments! Very much appreciated, if the belts look good to you that works for me. This one should be getting finished pretty soon. Just have to get the engine in the car and it should be good to go.

Quick shot of the body sitting on the frame

Thanks guys! Got a little further on the interior, added some photo etch racing seat belts. Dunno if I'm all that happy with the way they came out, I fought it every step of the way and only got one seat done so far lol. Thanks for looking, I'll have more updates soon.

Hey Russell, this one is done and posted in the under glass section. Here is a quick picture of the finished model.

Ok real quick update. Finished the roll bar and got it painted. I used some heat shrink tuning for padding and pieces of thread tied around it to look like zip ties. Should be able to get a little further on the interior tonight, I'll try and get more pics up. Thanks for looking.

Thanks for the compliments guys! Paint is candy apple red over a gold base, both testors enamel.

Quick update, made some rear springs out if aluminum rod and wire and got the rear tires under the car which was a bit of a pain, not much clearance in the wheel openings on the body. Did some bmf on the window trim. Should have another update soon.

Been away for a while but decided it was time to get this one up and going again. Painted the interior, tubbed the chassis, and started putting the roll bar together. Nothing elaborate just painted everything semi gloss black. Should have more pics and updates soon.

Not a problem. Couple pics of the engine, I have to find a better looking oil filler tube the one in the kit is too big so I left it off, also have to reattach the master cylinder. The carbs came from MAD, they are the same as the ones in the tbolt kit but these have better detail.

No those are aftermarket, I wasn't too crazy about the ones in the kit.

Few pics in better lighting.
