  1. Nice start!
  2. Speaking of the car being unsuccessful, I've always been blown away by the angle of exhaust discharge. I'm no engineer by any stretch, but I'd think the exhaust pointing almost straight down would make the car want to lift. Looks like something Jethro Bodine would come up with. Maybe I'm just off and missing the point.....
  3. Sweet! Great job!
  4. Great start!
  5. Sunlight really does make it pop!
  6. Great color choice.
  7. Beautiful big Ford. Thanks for sharing!
  8. Not sure this link hasn't been posted previously, but it's a good site for old factory ads, brochures, etc. The site is organized by make and year for the most part. Good stuff for stock builders out there. http://wildaboutcarsonline.com/cgi-bin/pub9990448202528.cgi?categoryid=9990448202528

    Dodge Demon

    Good to see some a Demon build. Great job!
  10. Flat paint always works on a gasser. Nice.
  11. Fascinating read and work on the manifolds. Overcarburetion? That's an understatement for sure
  12. Bill listed most of the popular hand tools that would cover the majority of any scratchbuilding you'd want to do. If you find yourself needing more, then the move up to a mini mill/lathe would be a next step, but that would be a ways off. As for plastic stock, again Bill hit the popular sheet and rod sizes but I've amassed quite a selection of Evergreen/Plastruct stock in all shapes and sizes. Keeping them organized to be able to find them quickly can be a pain however. It's nice to have what you need at hand when a brainstorm comes over you when building, rather than having to wait for a trip to your LHS or online order to arrive. With my fading memory I'd often forget what I needed the particular stock for when I finally did get it
  13. Great job bringing the American back from the dead! I bid on these old Rambler bombs occasionally too.
  14. Coincidentally I have a '62 on the bench right now but it won't be ending up like this
  15. Good work on the shelving/organizers! I made my own years ago and feel it's a great way to end up with exactly what you need. I looked and looked for something commercially available but they were not only too expensive but just never seemed to fit my needs in my shop. Thanks for sharing.
  16. Good start. Saving glue bombs are a great diversion from kit building and can increase skills to boot.
  17. Watching the progress... thx
  18. Was there ever a conversion available to create a 67' Nova from a 66'? Would really amount to a grille and possibly a front clip to be able to get the angled fender for the headlight bucket.
  19. Nice! Hope you get time to continue it and share here.
  20. Great job! Love the mopars!
  21. Yep, I like
