    Very cool and nicely done. Dont see them in a race suit that often.

    Sweet streetmachine. I like what you did with the air intakes into the inner fenders,clean.

    Thanks for the comments. Yes it`s a really stupid car but it was fun build it. I thought it could be cool with a roofrack and put some slicks on it,maby i`ll do it later if i find anyone who makes roofracks. Few more.

    I have used Tamiya TS-13 and find it to be very nice,one coat is close to enough. I would really like to try out Testors (So man cool custom colors) ,but very few does ship spraycans,and those who do is really expensive. I dont get why some can ship and other dont,is there diffrent laws from state to state about shipping outside of the US?

    Old Volvo and 63 Fury in very nice condition arrived today. But why would you make decal sheet with kangaroos on?

    Thanks to Michael J Kucaba for parts in excellent condition.

    Overall i would call it done even if i`m not happy about finish here and there. This is the Tamiya 66 Beetle with the Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa drivetrain. I just wanted to try somthing completly ridiculous and i think it fit the category. At first it was going to be sleeper paint and dull everything but i think me looking to much on Cal lookers on google made me change it. Look wise it is stock beside little lowering,the Porsche wheels,and all red rear lamps. I think the body and the dash is the only thing that have not been modified or fondled with lol. Paint is sating black with red seats. I forgot number plates,pedals and oil reservoir cap. Also i should have drilled the exhaust pipes. Here are some pics. Hope you like and comments are always welcome.

    It`s the 65 big block Biscayne,i think you find it in the "under glass" thread somwhere. The other one is a Lincoln Woodie project.

    Is this what they refer to as old school? Looks really nice.

    Looks awsome.

    Thanks for the encouraging words. Shaun: Decal i put on before i put clear on the body. The decals in this kit is incredible fragile

    Got this one painted as the sun is out and there is some warm weather. Done the foil,put on decal and the some coat of clear. Maby not the most exciting color,it`s tamiya champagne. Since the pro street style is a bit crazy,i thought tone it down with the color,so white top,decal and interior. Here are some pics. The chassis is half AMT and half Revell. Not done painting. Interior. Some flocking and bmf added. No cage and i still wanted back seat. Tires and wheels. The wheels are machined aluminium from "customs by terry" on Ebay. The body so far. Needs some side marker painted,door handles,wipers,bumpers and other small things. Not made an decission on engine but the 426 with supercharger is one option. Another is the Gibson engines,but they cost a lot so not sure. Some pro mod converted to street gas would be cool,got to think about it a little more. I guess it`s not everyone cup of tea but comments are welcome by anyone. Thanks for looking.

    Thanks. The problem here is cost of shipping. Also the price on cars are unrealistic high.
  15. om617
    Thanks Harry. This is the answer so far.
  16. om617
    Any Mopar gurus who can tell me somthing out of this chassis-code? BH23GOB425572 1970 Barracuda is all i know so far.

    63 Electra 225. Needs front seats,steering wheel and other small parts. Got newly chromed bumpers with it so that is nice.
  18. om617
    It say 4 to 6 weeks but this took less then 14 days. Coupe of days and the parts are here. I have read lot`s of nice things about Modelhaus so i am excited to get these parts. I also order some Cadillac stuff.

    Big thanks to Jeremy Newman aka outkast1027.

    Not a pro,but Bare Metal Foil does wonders for appearance.
  21. om617
    Coming along very nicely.
  22. om617
    Amazing detail
  23. om617
    Thanks. There is more wire and plumbing on these pasta engines then i hoped for,but getting there. Will need handbrake,shifter,some clamps for the air intake hose and organize the wires a little nicer,and some other little things,then i think it`s more or less ready. I figure i have to stop fondle or it will never end lol

    I do most shopping for kits on Ebay and most new kit`s seem reasonable. One thing that have skyrocket is the price on shipping Example,some charge close to $50 for priority,it`s insaine.

    Nice wagon,never seen one before. Kinda like the big wheels on page 1.
