  1. Great work as always Mike. Does the Flintstone body represent the early car pretty well?
  2. 3D wheels are a big improvement.
  3. I did some mods to my Sprint build that I thought improved the overall look. They could also be applied to the Ranchero.
  4. I particularly like the sedan delivery Sam, where did you get the body?
  5. One window notched.

    Love the color.
  7. That '68 with the butchered wheel wells looks like a lot of work. I'll take it off your hands since you have another cauldron of Falcons already on the way.
  8. I posted this video on another forum. Incredible feat of engineering, NASA should be applauded.

    Very nice.
  10. Nice masking/paint work Jason.
  11. These photos appear to show no forward half of a roll cage only a roll hoop and kickers behind the driver at this point of the car's development. This photo appears to show no roll cage at this stage. There does appear to be some reinforcement in the greenhouse structure however.
  12. The RUF CTR Yellowbird might be the most infamous lap. The shots outside the car at about the 12:30 mark are impressive.
  13. A Monogram classic! Nice work.
  14. I think its time for you to wake up your Viper project Marco!
  15. Marco, I was able to get the kicker (braces) more into the corners on the long-tail so the plan is to notch the corner of the glass. I will go with the oval opening and reinforcing plate on the short-tail.
  16. Thank you for the information Marco. I used metal pins (short pieces of wire) at the connections points of the bars for the roll cage. The challenge is locating the holes correctly in the rear glass. I'll figure something out. That is great looking Viper! Is that a current project or have you finished the build? Would like to see more photos.
  17. Nice work Rex.
  18. Kit provides no roll cage so I fabricated the hoop and the kickers. Might not bother with the forward half as it is very difficult to see on the 1:1. The back facing kickers pass through the rear window so I have to deal with that yet! The kit intends the glass to fit perfectly with the only gluing surface the very edge of the glass - yea right! I added a flange along the header (bonding surface and support) and material inside the A pillars to improve the fit.
  19. Nice.
  20. Nice work.
  21. Nice work as usual Kurt.
  22. Great work Josh! Just a FYI, Mr. Bradford glues thin aluminum foil over the body openings of the master before he cast the molds. This creates very thin flash across the opening that then can be easily removed. The outline of the foil is what you are seeing on the underside of the hood. Much better than grinding out resin to open the scoops etc.
