  1. It`s not just for styling,actually has a lot to do with downforce and cooling. http://blog.shawgmc.com/2013/11/2014-chevrolet-camaro-z28-designed-for.html
  2. That looks really nice.
  3. If you like wagons i belive All American Models makes one,and it is a woodie-ish if not mistaken.
  4. Try Angel Acosta on Facebook. He got lot`s of cool and unusual subjects,G-body`s as well.
  5. The products on the site looks to be excellent. I really want the AS-1 Autocar sleeper cab,but it has been out of stock for ages.
  6. Thank you. This body/styling is the one i really like.
  7. 63 Nova station wagon. Early Chevy,Dodge or Ford camper van with trailer. For race car hauler. 68 Coronet R/T. 70 Charger R/T 71-73 Impala. Also love to see a early Jeep Wagoneer,but they where never kitted?
  8. I like where you are going with the color and red stripe. Nice to see you arent giving up on it.
  9. This looks so good,the interior is to good to cover up with the body
  10. Is looking really good. As for post nr 85,i did see a 56 Desoto 2d ht with continetal kit this weekend,so low and sleek compared to the GM/Ford cars of the same year. It was white and pink,in other words screaming for some more classy colors
  11. That looks pretty cool,and i bet fun to drive. Is this option from factory or installed later on?
  12. Not recived yet but bought thru the weekend. 65 Cadillac complete original interior. 1964 Pontiac Bonneville convertible,cracked post so got it cheap. 1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass convertible resto object. Thinking 442 clone. 1971 Pontiac Firebird resto object. 4pot wankel engine and some wheels from eightyone.
  13. Everyone can write on Wiki. It does not say here either that Ledwinka was jailed for 5 years for links to the Gestapo. It does not even mention Ganz at all. Here is some interesting read: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2012/04/jewish-engineer-behind-hitlers.html
  14. Ledwinka and Porsche often worked shoulder to shoulder on projects before the war. There was no lawsuit from Tatra before/during the war,the lawsuit came form Joseph Ganz,who then where chased by Gestapo for blackmail,so he fled. Remember Ganz was jewish. The history around this is far more complex then Porsche stole the design and that`s it. Btw Volkswagen,the name was from 1923.
  15. Thanks for the info,i`ll check into the book,sounds interesting.
  16. Mr Porsche used a lot of inspiration and ideas from Joseph Ganz and Hans Ledwinka (Tatra). Ganz had an idea for a people`s car as early as 1933. Mercedes Benz also did a small rear engine concept. There are some good books on the subject,sadly some of them have left out important information.
  17. The Corvette is worth it alone. 64-65 and 66 are sought after by collector/restorers.
  18. I belive this one is made around the same time as the Mercedes w202 DTM cars,so the fit and overall quality is top notch.
  19. Crazy and cool. Did you have any fit issues with the tub in that body? Or maby it`s just me.
  20. Great progress. Those redlines look sweet.

    300B

    Nice start and great color and wheels. Are you using a more modern drivetrain or going stock?
  22. Following this one,these are good looking cars. Always tried to get one of ebay but it`s always some insaine price lol
  23. Looks really good. For the gold scripts/detail,do you use bmf or paint?
  24. I`m not sure how you handle your models if you say clear acetate is easy to damage. Use them as a baseball?
  25. Have not found one,i did search for somthing like it when i was looking for a F50 LM trans-kit.
