  1. How did you do the Power Tour sticker? I am a 15 time long hauler and would love to add that to my builds
  2. I love it! I plan on doing the same thing to replicate my 2012. Finishing up my first one right now before I realized it was a long bed. I guess the excitement clouded my vision! Got four more and they will all be done this way!
  3. One of the Coolest Custom Car Shows around with a great model contest to boot! Come out and spend the day and enjoy the music, cars and models. straykat.pdf
  4. If you think they are slouches I can see you need a ride in one. I have one sitting in my shop and it pulls harder through the qtr mile than my 440 big block Mopar!
  5. Very clean. Is there a red intake to go with those red valve covers! Lol! Yep its a 94 also the gauges were digital not analog in the 94 and the back qtr window is different too. I know every square inch of these things like the back of my hand and you are pretty much dead on. As far as the rear fender scripts go, that is one of the first things new Wimpy owners did when they bought one. Hope to build my 96 Wimpy some day just going to take a ton o kit bashing to get it done!
  6. Very nice! I love the underhood detail! I have that kit in the stash and thought about putting it in the sell pile, but my mind has been changed ( stupid ADD). I love the red but I also want another color so as to make the purists angry!
  7. Very sweet! You got to give us the info on the grill!
  8. Don't fret too much! No matter if I am building big hot rods or models I am never happy. You are your own worst critic, just remember that. Give time and your skills will show through. I understand, finally assembly is my biggest enemy! Looks good so move on and crank out a killer Mopar!
  9. Well after a long break from the bench I am back again! With the Hot Rod Power Tour and boat season there has not been much time or energy left for modeling. Now its so stinkin hot in Oklahoma there is plenty of time indoors now! Here is my latest, a dare from a fellow modeler to go pink! Pink is a blend of HOK red and white paint and the roof is ALSA chrome over cleared white base. Pics don't do the roof justice due to the flash. I have BMF'd part of it but you can hardly see it. Motor is hemi from the Revell Magnum kit and wheels are a Pegasus!
  10. Man that thing is sharp, was this the old Hot Rod kit or did you use something else. The stance is dead on, now I need to get man out of the stash so I can build it.
  11. I am real partial to the 66-67 Mopar B Bodys myself. I attempted one of these kits to build the future look of my Mopar and was unhappy with the fit of the back bumper finish panel piece and have since shelved that project until I can cut it up into 3 pieces. Great build I love that car and have often thought about painting my 1:1 silver but can't decided
  12. It may have already been asked before, but where did the short bed come from? Sweet truck Ma Mopar would be proud!
  13. Very very nice! That is the way I love to see 1:1's look! Great execution!
  14. Great use of the high performance goodyear hoses. I know allot of Impala guys use them but they only look right on patrol cars!
  15. Alright Nellis stop it, you are making me look real bad now! That thing turned out awesome. The color really popped on it. I guess you going to Texas with guns loaded this year! Sickfish I do believe those wheels are the ones out of the Revell 57 Chevy Snapper with Pegasus Sleeves but Marc can correct me if I am wrong since he is the wheel king!
  16. What's this, a completed model out of Nellis!! Just kidding, you got me beat for the year. Looks great and of course you know I am soft for that color combo!
  17. I agree with the no crush cries, because of this build I think mine will get moved up on the list. Can not wait to see how it turns out.
  18. Man I can't wait to see this one finished. I have been in love with this thing since I first saw it at the SEMA Show!
  19. That thing is amazing, I guess what impresses me is the proportions on all the body panels. It just seems right!
  20. Yes its the AMT R/T curbside. Was not ready to jump into a full detail version especially when trying to pull off this paint job. Marc , the rolling stock is those Aoshima wheels you showed me that look fairly close to the 20" billet rallys that Foose used.
  21. Well enough lurking around the board. Have not posted much in the past year and haven't built much in the past 7 months being summer and all!!! Well I have slowly dipped my toes in the water with modeling again and trying the whole board experience thing again too! Hopefully no drama here to make me go into hiding again! I started this build to take with me to the GoodGuys Lonestar Nats but the big hot rod prevented that with some last minute issues!LOL! Well here you go, comments always welcome The prelimary interior shot, still need shifter, and of course steering wheel with a little more dash detail The completed body with decals, still need to add red stripe decal to the strobe stripe and then clear.
  22. Do you have any pics of this Farmers 67 with the Turbos? I am pondering either tearing into my 66 Plymouth and doing an all out pro touring build with turbos and possibly a decompressioned 440ci or just flat out selling it now that it is almost done. Too many 1:1 cars sitting around so I got to make room for work so I am trying to decide what goes and what stays! By the way the paint on your build looks great, cant't wait to see more.
  23. You can go that method but if you have any skills with wood (and I don't!!!) you can make one. If I can do it anyone can. My box is 24"x24" made of plywood with qtr round trim on the front. I believe it is 18" deep. I stained all the wood so it would be a slick finish and not promote dust. I cut a whole in the back for a shaded pole blower I bought from grainger to meet the specs I wanted for flow. I spent roughly $108 for the fan and if my CFM flow calculations are right I pull more than enough air and way more than most boxes on the market. About centered in the box I have a filter that measures 24"x24" that I slide in the top for filtration and I vent the gases out a window plug that I put in when I paint. I paint in my garage where my show cars are so fumes are not a problem its the overspray floating around that bugs me. My next step is two funnel the air after the filter to the fan opening by building some sort of plenum to channel the air. I do believe it will give me more suction at the filter, of course right now when it is running the filter bows in as it is. I can take pics if you would like.
  24. I like the stance a bunch. I just wished you would have painted it red with a flat black hood, cause that would have saved me from having to paint up my resin body to see if I like the look. I just shoed in my 351C in our 1:1 last week now I can't not decide on a color combo!LOL!!
  25. If you need any detail pics let me know. I can go out to the garage and snap a few of what ever you need. That is if I am not snowed in! LOL!
