  1. I started this years ago. Got the interior fixed ,body painted,engine painted and mocked up in the chassis. Used some new AMT redlines and a dual quad set up off a AMT 65 Riv. Need to take it apart and finish foiling and paint the headliner. Find a parts box radiator too add to it as the kit never had a radiator. Lots of sets
  2. One more piece of advice. Leave the tube that will go across the frt of the engine cage off until your engine is in final. Otherwise you will have to remove it. Yours is looking killer too.
  3. I build kits. Even rare ones. I also like to restore gluebombs.
  4. Yep and I paid way too much for it. But I needed it if you know what I mean. I had my own decals made for it too in a gold that looks almost reflective.
  5. The casting was really pretty nice. A couple pinholes and the roof was slightly warped. A little hot water and some putty thrown at it was all I did. The mold release was real tough to get off of this one.
  6. Thanks I thought the colors worked nice together. Gives a nice 70s vibe.
  7. Real nice build!!
  8. I used to agree with you but my tastes have change since I realized how much better my1:1 Montego GT looks with 17 and 18 inch rims as compared to the 14s it came with.
  9. Page resin made it. Casting was nice. No glass or chrome.
  10. Another bad actor that’s been sitting a few years. Today is get this old BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH done day. Resin kit I paid too much for. With Zimmerman wheels slammed low
  11. Resin body on a 70 Impala chassis. Pegasus wheels. This thing has languished about 6 years. I’m calling it done.
  12. That looks like the right dry sump pan to me!
  13. I just realized my pic didn’t load. I’m an idiot!? This car has a wet so nascar pan on it.
  14. No problem if something can be screwed up I’ve done it guaranteed!!
  15. Gerald it is quite a bit of work to get the chassis under the Roadrunner. You have to shorten the back by almost 1/8 inch. Move the cell forward till it almost touches the rear axle.you also need to move the hoops that surround the coolers up frt. I drill new holes and mount them higher and grind the bottom of the hoops to clear the fender. The radiator shrouding needs shortened too. Then you need to pull the tires in to clear the body. Fit everything with the frt bumper held in place. The worst of the whole thing is getting the hood to close all the way. I take the incorrect bulge out of the hood and replace it with a flat sheet. The carburetor needs to be sanded almost to nothing to get air cleaner under the hood. It’s a project but comes out good. I’ve done about 4-5 of them.The nice thing is the rollbar and firewalls fit like they were made for this body.
  16. Fast back Cadillac is painted!! Silverpine Green Firemist. Silverpine was not a Firemist color but I switched the metallic in it so now it is.
  17. It will have a 68 Caddy color for sure.
  18. That’s the way to do it. I love building stuff out of all kinds of leftovers.
  19. That looks nice man. Is that a Polar Lights cage?
  20. It is a Revell Torino Cobra. The GT kit has the wrong grille and hood. I had to fill the shaker scoop hole.chassis is a modified Polar Lights piece
  21. Sanded and ready for paint
  22. I used Monogram tires on this cause the thing is so huge. But the AMT tires are wider. Wider is better to me
