  1. An old one, I hope! Paint looks great!
  2. It definitely looks like you're off to a great start! Keep up the good work. I really like that color on the truck.
  3. Can you explain how you wrap and affix the wire to the pulley edges, I've never seen that technique used or explained. It looks like it'd be extremely difficult to do without some kind of special technique. Do you use CA as the adhesive?
  4. I dunno, if I ever finish one, I'll do the calculation.
  5. Totally bada$$ street car.
  6. Nice MOPAR! Love the paint job and the engine.
  7. Nice build. I like the detail work.
  8. Looks really good! You did an excellent job on the vinyl roof. I also like how you added the hood pin retaining cables (or whatever the right term is). They look pretty much to scale. Would you mind sharing what type/size wire you used? Thanks.
  9. Beautiful paint! I love that color blue. Great job!
  10. Looks tough! Paint looks really nice. Great job all around.
  11. That paint looks really good! You've got a nice, clean build going. If drying time is a concern, I can highly recommend getting a food dehydrator. They significantly shorten the time spent waiting to work on painted parts. If you have the space, access to a Harbor Freight, and $25, they are great tools to have. Here's the link to one I just bought: http://www.harborfreight.com/http-www-harborfreight-com-5-tier-food-dehydrator-66906-html-4450.html You can get more expensive ones with some bells and whistles, but this one just plugs in and heats up just enough to dry paint much faster.
  12. I agree with everyone else, really nice build, especially the engine and transmission coating and detailing. On this side of the Atlantic, the pieces you have on top of the carburetors are called "velocity stacks".
  13. My feelings exactly.
  14. I love the red stripes on the stunning black paint! That's an excellent way to complement the viper engine color.
  15. I wish I still had my full scale AAR 'cuda sitting out in the driveway to use as reference! You're putting in a lot of work, I'm anxious to see what it looks like when you're finished.
  16. Looks real nice! The interior especially looks clean.

    The chrome really offsets the paint beautifully! Great looking model.
  18. That's looking good! I really like how you flared the fenders.
  19. I usually don't critique someone's choice of "build direction", but since you ask, I've never been a fan of the rubber-band tire look. But I'm pretty old school when it comes to muscle cars. But remember, it's your build so if you like it, go for it.
  20. Nice, clean build, looks good! Can't help you on polishing Future finishes, I've never used it.
  21. I've always liked rallyes better than the magnums, but I have to admit, the magnums look much better on your Charger.
  22. I think the stance is perfect. Can you tell me where the wheels in this shot came from? Really great looking, inspiring build.
  23. Looks like you've got a great start. I'll be interested in following this one to get some ideas. I'm planning on doing something similar, but not a Challenger.
  24. My paint comment was an attempt at a joke, referring to the movie My Cousin Vinny. Which is a good movie, by the way.
