  1. You're welcome Craig, well deserved. You got me itchin' do do one now lol.?
  2. Those are awesome, the FM Petty Superbird would go great with these.
  3. Love that movie, great job.
  4. Stunning build.
  5. Sweet, what's not to love about a Hemi 'Cuda? Great build.
  6. Oliver, that is an exceptional build, my favorite year Torino.
  7. That is a stunning build, great job. I love this body style.
  8. I have this one as well, I display it top down because that interior is so beautiful I don't want to hide it lol.?
  9. Gorgeous, I love those '65 Pontiacs. They are soms sexy beasts.
  10. WOW, WOW, Wow, that is stunning. Beautifully done Craig.
  11. Absolutely beautiful. I love those GM flat tops.
  12. Thanks Rich, I parked it next to my 1/24 Crown Premiums '70, here's the pic. They done pretty decent on this one considering most of their models are more caricatures of cars than anything else. I'm not a big fan of the oversize wheels and tires, it seems like most of the F&F cars have them so I'll leave them as is. ?
  13. LOL, sorry JT, it can be made into a decent model with a little work.?
  14. Nothing spectacular but one I wanted to add to my movie car collection but it's pretty sparse out of the box. Plus the '70 is my favorite year Roadrunner.[:)] The front had to be remedied, I couldn't deal with those funky headlights. I scratch built the headlight buckets and used headlight lenses from my parts stash. Plus I had to do the detail painting around the grille and paint the bumper guards and add parking light lenses. Next was that awful interior with no detail other than a chrome shifter and steering wheel. Who woulda thunk a JADA interior could be made to look decent lol? I was pleasantly surprised. Next and probably worse is those nasty tray engines. I tried to make it look fairly decent but it's like trying to put lipstick on a pig lol. Next was the bare plastic trunk. I carpeted it and added a spare, not much but an improvement. Finishing off with the BMF trim, Roadrunner and Hemi badging and an antenna.
  15. Both look great, I have the green one as well because I too like green, my favorite color lol.
  16. That looks much better Randy, nice job buddy.?? You got my 2 thumbs up lol.?
  17. I'm droolin' Ismael. That is gorgeous.?? There's my 2 thumbs up lol.
  18. Absolutely beautiful.
  19. Picked up one of these on Monday cheap, already disassembled for mods lol.?
  20. Randy, maybe it's just me but the box and paperwork aren't as important to me as having a nicer model. I don't display the box and paperwork lol. And I agree, I've never found a model that is perfect, some of the lesser diecast have as good or better paint than many a Mint models. I have a new detail project I'm getting ready to start on, I'll keep ya posted lol. But the paint on it is really nice for a cheapie.
  21. Amen Buddy lol, I have some painting to do but it's just too cold right now.?☹️
  22. Thanks guys, Rich, it sure is. It's satisfying to do in just a few short hours and have a nice model on the shelf.?
  23. Picked this up at the local Hobby Lobby today. It's crappy out today, rain and snow so it gave me something to tinker with. Detailed the interior including flocking the floorboards, detail painted the buckles for the seatbelts and the shifter, also painted the headliner black. Took the tail lights out and darkened them up from the backside, they weren't much darker than the body paint, also painted the headlight stems white. Detailed the engine compartment a bit and drilled the tailpipes out and aluminized the mufflers and tips. Put the tires on my portable drill and sanded the treads and added my own personalized plate, nothing too crazy but it did improve it quite a bit. It is a nice looking model overall and fits in with my newer Mustang models. Plus it looks great with my GT500.
  24. Nicely done Rich, it looks great. Love those Shelby Mustangs.
  25. It's beautiful Richard, I love those 50's Mopars.
