  1. Yeah, that is a great build. He started with pretty much a gutted shell and turned into this total show stopper. Yes, the headlamps really made it interesting. What part of town where they in? Don, take a look here http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist?GenreCode2=Aut&Word=flares&x=16&y=18
  2. One of the Japanese kit makers makes these flares and other bozo style parts. I forget who, but they had sets of them on Hobby Link Japan for some time. As for a list of kits, go shopping around on ebay for them to get a good idea or find someone who is really into these kits. This is a friend of mines Skyline Kenmeri at JCCS this year
  3. The chassis is basically the same as the Young American, but still unique enough for this car. And the Galloping Ghost car is the same chassis as the Ramchargers car, but, this version of the car should be using the same one as the young American as it was a long wheelbase car.
  4. Wow, nice job! Love the color and stance Maybe the critics should build them, like you did, and then critique the kit
  5. I believe the Vette version had a solid lifter cam and better exhaust. This is just from some info that stuck to my brain from reading mags back in the 80's, so please don't quote me.
  6. Way better than Barris! I dig it!
  7. Nice! I need to pick one up
  8. Thanks for using black plug wires THAT DON"T LOOK LIKE AN ANGRY SPIDER!
  9. Looks like a really fun build!

    Maverick

    Very nice and clean!
  11. Feast your eyes! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88915&hl=revellion http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=88319&hl=revellion Or did you mean Revellution? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69548 As for the Phony Pony, you will have to use a Tony Nancy Double Dragster kit with an aftermarket resin body and decals.
  12. Models fall under Crafts. Not toys. So go learn needle point, I am sure your doillies will be much more accurate than Revell models. Now everyone put on some big boy pants and move on. This sort of posting is getting old really fast.
  13. Piranha decals. On the left, aftermarket decals from Whoopie Kat and on the right, the AMT issued decals.THESE ARE FOR THE DRAG CAR!!! Hopefully if AMT should re-issue it, they can fix these decals
  14. They have the correct original driver of the Piranha,Walt Stevens, and they just look better all the way around. Will post an image of my set with a Piranha set later
  15. Whoops! It's Whoopie Kat! http://www.whoopiekatdecals.com/HTML/Funnycars/fc000060.html
  16. Here are a few more shots http://www.drivelineac.com/gm_crv_amt_piranha/
  17. The decals are very sparse and not very accurate. Whoopie cat was making corrected decals for it and i think they may still be available.
  18. And not too hard to find at very low prices! I had a hard time getting rid of a couple at kit shows I think the awful box art of that time did not help much
  19. I think white looks lots better than the tan
  20. Please tell Round 2 they can stop the odd size boxes and cookie tin editions. Regular sized cardboard boxes are just fine! And with original, even better!!
  21. I used the engine and blower setup out of the stude
  22. Wow! Something to buy every month! Nice!!
  23. Super clean and cool! Great job!!
