Sam I Am

Yea, I think I have about 50 started projects....not counting all the ones just bagged. Many of those I hope will go on the block soon.

Oh, and talking about things that make you go hmmmm..... Parts box builds are endless ideas...

I was wondering when you would be getting back to it. I figured maybe too many Osh Kosh squirrels. ? Hey, you have the green KW fire engine from it. lol

No problem Bill, I have five...make that seven.

We ended up sorting out 13 rebuildable projects, not counting a couple Bill took home with him. I was also able to put together a complete Movin On kit (minus decals) after he left. Going to start on the Macks next and see if I can get a couple sorted out. Thanks again Bill !

I wanted to thank Bill and his 72sj for spending the afternoon with me helping to sort out some of this mess. I unpacked all the parts and this is what we started with.

I have been hanging around the diecast section way to much. This is the only 1/25 diecast I have, really other than a couple hot wheels type, my only diecast. I did not get it today, but bought it 10 years ago to strip it and build a replica of a 1:1 I worked on, but am now leaning towards getting a resin body if I ever get a round tuit at all.

Good question, lol. IIRC, it was a testors yellow over tamiya white primer, topped with testors high gloss clear.

Thanks everyone! I still want to do this with a Challenger someday as well.

Looking sharp!

So as a kid in the mid '70s I was impressed with a Lime Green Challenger that was jacked up so high in the back that I could see the complete rear end housing hanging below everything else....while sitting in the back seat of my moms 65 Olds.... while parked directly behind the Challenger. That vision was what I had in mind when I built this GTX. I think I nailed the era. Shackled, air shocked, with really wide Cragers. Oh, and that Challenger was jacked MUCH higher than this one.

Here is mine, a Buddy Baker, aftermarket decals, an AMT 71 Charger body, generic AMT nascar chassis with some scratch built pieces and a parts box hemi. Not a correct reproduction by any means but it did capture the "look", and that is what I was after.

Nothing yet.

I wonder if its because you can build it as a hardtop or convertible and the roof is molded separately, that it gives that appearance. Thanks everyone. I have the Monogram also, but personally prefer the AMT. I gave this model to a friend and plan on building another one for myself.

Nice ! Now show us what your neighbor across the street drives. ?

Excellent color choice! The 59 Chevy has been a favorite car of mine, we have had four different ones in the family over the years.

This is the AMT kit with decals and exhaust from the Monogram kit and keystones from the parts box. Built loosely after a car a kid in my high school had. I sanded down the vinyl top and gave it an aftermarket flat resin hood.

Nice job! I have always liked the Challenger better than the Cuda for some reason.

Krazy Kool !

Looks awesome! Looking forward to adding it to my shelf.

Oh, that is a great looking wrecker!

Always loved the looks of these. I have a 1/12 in the stash that I plan on building in the JPS colors.

That is a great layout. So where are you putting it when its finished? ?

Phenomenal color combo.
