  1. That is the most amazing interior I have ever seen. Looks better than most real car interiors!
  2. I'm sorry. I can't imagine...
  3. Needs a Hayabusa swap LOL JUST KIDDING! That dashboard does look pretty amazing. If you told me the gauges worked I'd believe you!
  4. Different strokes for different folks I suppose. I like a car that is LOWERED onto a set of larger-than-stock wheels and tires. Up to a 20" wheel looks good on most muscle cars and classics, and only "performance" or "retro" style wheels, not spinners or ridiculous 2-spoke chrome junk. When a car has to be raised to fit the wheels it's on, it looks wrong. It's not a 4x4. I do happen to like the "hellaflush" style on Japanese cars though. I'm not sure why. As a performance car guy, I know that "hellaflush" and stretched tires are pretty much the exact opposite of handling and performance... yet for some reason I just like it. For the record my RX7 will not be receiving this treatment.
  5. Ya know, I'm not real big on fendered rods... but I LIKE IT. The speed shop decals are a nice touch.
  6. This FOR SURE! I can't believe how much more real it "feels" having the underside "not so perfect".
  7. I really dig the hauler. The Opel looks great too.
  8. Why not make your own for about $20? http://www.italianhorses.net/Tutorials/Display/dcase.htm
  9. Nice color, especially the heavy metal flake, just how they made 'em!
  10. It looks very "right" on the Cragars with the slicks. The paint looks like it should be a factory color too. Nice build!
  11. OK, you showed us the real cars, now show us the models!
  12. Building / shooting guns Real cars Computer gaming / building computers (PC, mostly Battlefield series) Pissing off the wife
  13. Nice work on the rear suspension!
  14. I'm still trying to figure out the A/B/C pillars... At least the dashboard says "custom" on it so people will know it didn't come from the factory that way!
  15. I've got one of those Citations in my junk box, as well as a Gremlin funny car body... one of these days...
  16. Thanks guys, my inbox is filling up LOL
  17. Chuck, while those wheelse do look good, I am looking to go more modern "pro-touring" look, and those aren't quite big enough
  18. I've got a vision in my head for this GT350 kit I got without rims and tires... My problem is, where can I find some large-diameter Halibrand (or similar) style wheels?
  19. Wow. Do I need to say more?
  20. I stumbled across a perfect combination for the Holley Dichromate finish the other day. Mix 2 parts aluminum silver with 1 part turn signal amber. Adjust as necessary. EDIT: These are Testors enamels in the little bottles
  21. I recently recieved an older issue of AMT's '55 Chevy Stepside, molded in purple. If it wasn't for the swirl mark in the roof, I probably could've not painted it and nobody would've known.
  22. #1: My daily driver would be a 2012 FIAT 500 Abarth convertible. White with red stripes. #2: My cruiser would be a 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon. Can it be modified? If so, I'd go with a modern Mustang drivetrain (the new 5.0 Coyote motor, 5-speed trans, new Mustang rear end). Airbags on every corner. Not sure on color yet, but either black or red. #3: My streetable race car would be a Bradley GT kit car on a full tube chassis, with a Toyota Matrix drivetrain (in back). I'd like to keep the old-school huge metalflake gelcoat intact, preferrably blue or purple, but red would do. #4: My hauler would be a modern F250 diesel quad cab with a 5th wheel. And it has to be gunmetal grey. Can I get a trailer with it? An enclosed trailer capable of hauling 2 cars and a full pit setup? #5: My off-roader would be mid-80's Jeep Grand Wagoneer. Lifted, big mud tires, upgraded axles, roll cage- the whole 9 yards. Whatever color it is doesn't really matter, you won't see it anyway.
  23. I NEED to see more of the #80 Corvette and the red T Bucket! DROOL!
