These are pictures of his other contest cars. One is his quick build stealth he did in two days. I luke the paint job on it. The second is his a/12 1969 superbee, he built that a a copy of the one i built because he liked it so much.

My son even competes with his dad. He has been around model contests since he was born. His goal is to beat his dad in competition. I hope he does. This picture is a duplicate of his 91 firebird he used 6 kits to buil d it right down to the 3.1 v/6 and auto trans.

This is a picture of my 1970 challenger. This is the 1/25 version. It is painted in the 2009 hemi orange pearl the new challengers are painted. Otherwise built box stock.

I thought i would post a few pictures of some mpc glue bombs i bought off of evil bay. The first is a 73 firbird formula. I used several old firebord gluebombs to save. It was painted italian red but changed it to tamiya bright red. The second is a mpc camaro that i combined with a 74 firebird chassis because it was already set up with the racing option. Firebird

Thanks guys this project just might get off the ground yet.

Now question is does anyone make resin copies of the amc six cylinder.

The 77 camaro used a integral head design which looked different than the std chevy six and if memory served me correct the amc six looked pretty close in head design so I figure if nothing else I can combine the amc and chevrolet sixes to make a engine for the 77 camaro which is going to be a replica of one my wife had. Thanks for the info and I'll talk to sean.

Thanks guys. I know amt did a pacer or gremlin that had six cylinders which might be modified as well. Any ideas which amc kits to look at.

I have two projects i am starting and i need a source for period correct six cylinder engines one for a 1969 camaro and one for a 77 camaro. Any ideas aftermarket or kits. Thanks.

Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year from those of us in the Pacific Northwest.

Has anyone made a kit resin or otherwise of the dodge protype car they used in the movie the wraith?

Now I know what i can use my new white letter drag slicks on from amt. I matched them up last night with the ones in the kit.

Apparently the ring gear for the v-8 for manual trans was unique to that application due to its size. I work in the auto parts business and couldn't locate a replacement ring gear anywhere. Ford had even discontinued it. So i had the machine shop reverse the ring gear i had and tack it in place on the flywheel put it back together and sold it. As you stated theauto flexplates are easier to find.

Hey. What does a jaguar have to do with the end of the world. I guess it could if you were married and bought it without the wifes knowledge or ok. Lol.

I been trying to win that kit online but get outbid. For the price they go for I would rather do a resin transkit of that car. I used to own a real mustang II cobra. Was fun till the flywheel gear stripped and to search the world over to find one.

The revell cobra street racer which was yellow. Then they put out a more custom version as part of the hot rod series. Which was a cobra street racer machine. Which was red. Thats what i remembered. Take a look at the yellow street racer and see if that gets you closer. There is one on ebay right now. Find it under revell cobra mustang.

Why couldnt you just clear coat it.

As a professional car painter and avid model builder i treat my home booth just like the professional booth i use. I make sure the filters are clean and the fans are continuously running till im done painting. On my model booth at home i spritz the filters with water and make sure that the,fans run until im done painting. I also change the filters regularly. I also occasionly use a friends home built booth. He uses squirell cage fans and furnace filters for the intake and exhaust. We also wet down the exhaust filters and he never has a dust buildup. He is adamant about that because he doesnt want to have hhis garage burn down with a car in the booth. Just my two cents.

I have been playing with the gel pen for whitewalls. I found that spraying the tires with dullcote after the ink is dry protects the whitewall. I tried it with white letters and seemed to work as well. Just a idea.

Didn't revell make a model of a king cobra mustang II. Might be mistaking it for another model.

I would like to wish everyone a merry christmas, happy holidays. And a happy new year.

12:41 am is good enough for me. Were all talking so that means we all survived to build another day.

It is supposed to happen at 11:11 utc but it didn't state am or pm. I didn't know the mayans had utc time. I figure if i wake up the 22nd it will be all good.

I am still involved . It took me a bit to remember tony. I didn't realize he was the one who bought out mini exotics. Everyone up here is a great bunch of guys and i enjoy everyones friendship. Including the new ones i meet on the forum.
