welcome, and that is some fantastic work!

like building models

did it though ?

what commercial next

cut the cheese

Nice build, find and clean-up. What I like even better is how you remember the build, trip and story behind it. That deserves shelf space.

I like what I see so far! I haven't got to my Bronco kit yet...but this was this is close to what I was envisioning for the suspension. You just make it look so easy! I'll be pulling up a chair and watching this build for sure.

now that's high!

very cool

Unfortunate story behind it https://www.odmp.org/officer/23424-patrolman-justin-a-leo RIP Justin. Nice model and excellent craftsmanship.

I posted an update on my Nova in the On the Workbench forum, if anyone is interested... Peking to Paris - 69 Nova

It's Marguerita Time

Just a little update, since we're getting close, yet I still feel a long ways away. I also decided to write this in a style as if this was a real car (just for fun)... So it turns out the car is an original SS 350 car, with the 7/8 cyl. (sometimes 6) barely running a rebuilt was inevitable. The car looks like it was played with down the track a lot and had sub-frame connectors welded in at one time, and old fuel cell in the trunk. Shocking all metal (or should I say plastic LOL) is solid. After some media blasting the car actually needed very little bodywork, plus once I figured out the suspension, rims and tires, I can determine what will happen with the wheel-wells. So now the engine is built (reduced to 8:1 comp ratio) and now running a 2 barrel intake and 500 cfm Holley (4412) 2bl carb. Headers were added and connected to a shorted stock dual exhaust. The stock distributor is covered/sealed with plastic wrap, (and a junkyard picked Corvette distributor shield). A new clutch/pressure plate was installed along with the Saginaw 4 speed manual transmission and 3.23 (GT1) 12 bolt posi-traction rear both being checked/rebuilt. Factory options checked/rebuilt inc: power brakes, HD cooling, HD charging & HD suspension. The ugly weathered grey/tan finish will be a bit more appealing (hopefully) in the final product.

indeed it is

and rusting cars

Very cool, like where this is going. My only comment is I agree with JC on doing something with the driver's window net (so you can get a better view inside the model once done).
