  1. Cool project - the shortened top looks nice!
  2. Nice work!! Opening up the GT is most impressive!
  3. That's gonna be cool!!
  4. As I said on the HH board: This is the finest model I have seen. Not to knock Mark Jones, Bill Geary, Jim Drew, and others, but this one just "does it" for me. very fine work!!
  5. That's lookin real nice! Looks like the DOHC engine fit between the shock towers just right. What are you going to use for headers/exhaust?
  6. way cool!! Got any details on the build?
  7. it looked great before, but the new wheels puts it right where it needs to be - very cool!!
  8. That's cool!!
  9. MonoPed

    F-150

    Just tell everyone you put the fenders on backwards as a custom touch Not a fan of the big wheels, but the color and paintwork is cool, and the truck looks nice!!
  10. This car has "cool" written all over it!!
  11. wow...and I mean WOW!! Having reworked one of those Cobras as much as I did, I am lovin the way yours looks, especially since it is box stock!! The Porsche, well, that is just too cool in every respect - nice work Bob!!
  12. Nice build!!
  13. Nice work! For the Mustang, a better engine option might be the '99 Cobra engine with the blower from the '99 Lightning truck. The PL Ford GT engine is all wrong for both the GT and the new Shelby, and is not that well detailed to boot. It's supposed to be a DOHC engine, but the PL kit has narrow SOHC heads. The '99 Cobra has correct DOHC heads.
  14. I built (a term used very loosely here) all sorts of models when I was a kid. Cars, planes, model rockets, rubber band free flight planes made of balsa and tissue, and even some "interesting" hybrids (think model rocket motors in cars and boats), were all fair game. School, girls, first job, girls, first car, girls, work all sorta got in the way of any hobbies. In 1995 I was in a bad car wreck, and I picked up the hobbies during, and to help with, my recovery. First it was the balsa and tissue Guillow's kits, then it was back to the cars. Cool idea for a thread, but now I have this urge to buy some rocket motors... :twisted:
  15. Nice work, nice paint!
  16. These kits are often time too rich for my blood, so I am going to enjoy watching this build come together. Nice work on the texturing an painting of the block, it looks like it was cast that way!
  17. I had sanded the face of the wheels smooth, and shot them with Alclad which solved the pin marks, but I ended up with an odd looking gap beween the wheel and the whitewall insert.
  18. I noticed the front wheels in yours are as bad as the last ones I tried to use as far as ejector pins go. I used the wheels and tires on this Deuce, but ended up using front wheels from the parts box that are pretty close.
