I will probably detail it myself by scratch building some of the parts & I may add coils & wires.

Got the Decals on last night & cleared the body and hood today so hopefully if everything goes right I can get the Dart assembled sometime this week.

Only thing thats disappointing about this kit is that there is not much engine detail to this kit.

I actually was a member of the club. My Uncle bought my first Model for me at about the age of 6 & it was the Fiat Drag Car with the opening doors & what was really cool is that my Mother helped me build it and on my birthday later that year my Mother got me the Model of the month subscription. I'll never forget that my Mother did that for me God rest Her Sole.

I'll be praying for you. Its not fun being in the hospital I know from my own experience.

Been working the Aventador off and on & just doing the basic clean up on the parts and I have 90% of the body & panels in primer but not sure on color yet. Was thinking of the Gun Metal & blacking out the wheels & interior Matt Black with Grey accents on the seats & other panels. You guys have any other input on Colors for this Raging Bull ? I also purchased the detail set for this kit which is the Aoshima.

Nice Build & Pictures ! Wish one of these company's would put out a FJ40 & 45 pickup.

Awesome John !

Awesome John ! Maybe one day I can get to your skill level John.

Well I finally got the 68 Hemi repainted today in Bronze it was Root Beer & the Root Beer just did not look right to me plus when I installed the rear decal strip I laid it down wrong and the rubber band I had wrapped around the front to hold on the frame so I could get the ride height right on the front cut into the paint really bad. Plus I worked on the Lamborghini Aventador Brake assembly's.

Working on the 68 Hemi (repainted in Bronze) & working on the Lamborghini Aventador & blasting out some Judas Priest.

Got the Hemi Dart primed today and some of my next build which is a Lamborghini Aventador. Man I really like the Tamiya Primer that primer goes on really thin and smooth.

Has anyone here built the Lamborghini Reventon by Fujimi ? Or purchased one yet? Was wondering how detailed it is and if the motor is separate.

This is my next build. I purchased the Aoshima kit & the detail parts kit.

Yes I know but want to get this done plus i needed another 426 Hemi motor for a future project.

Picked up another Revell Hemi kit to use the body & hood for the repaint and will be changing the color also even though I liked the Rootbeer.Plus the 426 in this kit is done really well so I'll be using that for a future build. So hopefully I will be able to get this painted tomorrow since today i did the body clean up & scribed the door and trunk lines & primered the body today.

Going to have to repaint ! Leaving the rubber band on overnight to get the ride height correct cut into the paint pretty bad. Learning something new everyday.

I'll be keeping my Harley for sure !

Well have gotten it cleared and the strip on the rear & should have done some research on the rear strip because it's not far enough back on the trunk and as it goes down the sides it is slanted forward a bit.

Clear coated the rims tonight & made mounting plates for the rear backing plates to axle housing & painted them.

Was not sure if the two tone interior would go with the Root Beer paint. Here are few pictures of the wheels & tires and the hood after being painted.

Awesome Build John! It was a pleasure chatting with you at the NNL West this year & seeing your work in person which is just unbelievable!

Here is one of my work benches.

Also going to add the strip on the back in white.

Also built a custom center console & shifter & the bezel that is over the shifter. Will also be installing front discs & calipers and may try to run the brake lines also & also scratch built a set of traction bars for the rear.
