    Unusual and very cool idea. I did see a winch the other day,but i think the bumper was molded in together. Maby a easy fix? I`ll get back to you as soon as i remember who made it.

    Good start,looks to be a nice cast. Tamiya as a donor is a good choice,i felt bad after chopping mine up lol

    Even if this is far beyond my league of building,it is very inspirational to watch. Excellent detail and workmanship.

    This is the issue with the blue car on the box. No headers to be found but a cross-ram and some nice Offenhauser rocker covers. Here is the mock up of the engine in the car,this gives room for some neat air-filters i have laying around,even if it rise high now.

    Looking good and nice color. Sure looks like a lot of body work for making it a non t/a. Btw any luck on finding the correct rims?

    Unusual and cool subject. Coming along nicely. Did this kit come with no set up for rear lights?

    Impressive detail and finish. Look forward to see more.

    Nice start on this. If you search nice engines http://www.eightyone81.com/ has some really great ones. I bought a K20 for an second gen Integra and the quality is top notch,also fast delivery.

    Unfortunately i cant experiment with any factory colors before i invest in airbrush so my choices for now are a little limited. No baby buggy wheels on this one,so much i can promise lol. Fiddling with the engine now,and consider going back to the 409,but not sure. I`ll try post up some more pictures later on today. Thanks for the suggestions and ideas so far.

    Hello. Long time since there have been a wip for my part,more or less been watching all the great builds on here,and a little sourcing parts and future retoration objects,so very little building. The other day i thought i`d pull out one of my favorite cars,the 62 bubble top Bel Air. Some say it has an incorrect grille,but i`m not bothering going into it,it`s still a very nice kit,and as usual i could not go stock,well the person who sold it to me did not include the original wheels anyway,only the 5spoke who follow the kit. I have more or less sorted out the stance,then used some hours trying to adapt the cowl hood,also instead of the 409 this will get a massaged 454 with twin carburators on a high rise sorta manifoil. This might change as for when i see if there is room for the set-up or not under the cowl. I sometimes change along the way. I do have some resin steelies with more modern Chevy hubcaps from Missing Link i might be using. Idea for colors are as for now between these: 1. White body and wheels with champagne roof and interior. 2. Champagne body and wheels with black roof and Interior. 3. Black body,wheels and red interior. 4. Light blue body,wheels and white roof and interior. Feel free to suggest what you think will look the best. Anyway,here are some pictures of the mock up.

    Tamiya made the M version of the e24,also some group-A types. Fujimi did the Alpine in they`re Enthusiast Series,very nice kit with lot of detail. And then there is the Hartge version,not sure about the content,but i think it is full detail as the Alpina. So there is plenty to chose from. Mine would be. Audi Sport Quattro. Mercedes Benz w108/109. Mercedes Benz w111/112 coupe/cabrio. Mercedes Benz w123,and a wagon would be awsome. Ford Escort MK1. Ford Capri MK1 2600RS. BMW E9,stunning coupe. Volvo PV Sport. Volvo 245. Citroen SM. Fiat 127 & 128. Opel Manta B 400. Opel Ascona B 400.

    Thanks for the tips and sugestions. Calling Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland will probably cost more then 100$ lol

    Go on http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/3023/ vote,then maby there will be.
  15. om617
    Thanks for the suggestions. The Revell kit looks to be a smallblock or? RMM? Does the company have a website?

    Hello. I`m searching for the the Grand Sport intake setup (see picture). So here are some questions. 1: Does any aftermarket vendors make complete setup for Chevrolet small & big block engines? 2: Is there any model kits avaliable with this setup today? Thanks Tommy

    Here are european cars doing the same. I should not laugh but i just could not hold it during this 7min video.

    "Old". The Cadzilla,it looks like it was built a year ago. I really admire the work of Roadster Shop.

    4doors are worth half of a 2 door or convertible over here as well. There are some very pristine examples but sadly to many end up as "raggar" or "pilsnerbil" as we call it in Norway/Sweden. As in try make them look horrible thinking its cool. Edit: I`m buying for me,and as superficial as it might be,2door hardtop is the most elegant imo. Well if we arent talking 57-58 Brougham`s,but they are a little out of my budget. http://jalopnik.com/your-guide-to-europes-weirdest-car-culture-raggare-512086377

    Thanks for the input and sugestions. The Cuda was a basket case,pretty much just a empty shell and he was asking 17000$ lol. What are "bump key start" ? This is a beautiful car imo http://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/carsforsale/buick/electra_225/1643076.html

    Thanks for sharing Tom. Really nice collection.
  24. om617
    Thanks for the feedback. I got really unsure now,because i need two of them,but if they dont fit at all maby it`s not worth the shipping. I do have a uptop from a 58 Cadillac Imai kit,it`s just mm to wide and the corners need some adjustments. But then again,the design of the whole thing is not quite there.
  25. om617
    Thank you for the suggestion. Had no idea they shared anything,well beside the size. I wish modelhaus would use pictures on the items they sell.
