  1. I made a replica of our 71 CS convertible , using the 72 kit and modifying the tail lights . Subtle grille insert changes were also needed to backdate the car . I'll take a few photos later Definitely looking forward to your build since we share a fondness for the Oldsmobile
  2. Think JT wants ya to paint it orange ! Lol thats a beautiful truck in that color
  3. Thats a great looking old truck
  4. Excellent work ! I really like the winter front you added . Be sure to post a few pics under glass , we'll have the people choice vote dec 31st for a chance to win the moluminum gift card
  5. Man that looks fantastic ! The orange really sets it off and those Mobius wheels
  6. Very cool! Definitely going for a heavy truck w that rubber block suspension !!! Was the M11 from Gary too ? I used one for the Oshkosh mixer , it was a fantastic piece
  7. This will be another outstanding build! Look at all that resin goodies
  8. Much of the time the stars indicate chrome parts , but don't recall intake manifold being chrome on the Pacer
  9. Heard the Tacom King Tiger kits were fantastic, always looking for something different to build
  10. Perfect color choice ! Recall seeing one of these running around town a few years ago, but more of a farm truck finish.
  11. Go for it !
  12. Fantastic fabrication !!! Love the grill
  13. Such an opportunity for opening the lower hood panels and stuffing a proper Detroit engine in there !!! Your color choice sounds great on this beast
  14. Aww love those noisy do dads!!! Funny cause of one my wreckers had 303 diameter cylinders. Your lowboy is really filling out now , can't wait to see the finish from the tape !
  15. Really fun looking truck, and your nailing that box ! So for the angled windshield, since your cab is metal I'd try something like milliput. Its a 2 part epoxy putty akin to jb weld but used in the hobby world mainly. Its easy to apply and work shapes into before curing . I'd try to roughed up the area for some tooth, mix the putty together and apply to the windshield frame from the center outwards. Moisten the putty slightly allows working time and smooths it very nice.. Just a thought
  16. Opened a recent arrival from AITM , the RM Mack conversion. I have this ridiculous idea to build a truck mounted snowblower and this is the truck for it . I picked up the proper 14x24 tires , wheels , and suitable suspension also Now to find the time..
  17. Nice work on a cool little trailer seen frequently
  18. Anything will work, both of your primers mentioned will be fine . I spray mica red over white or gray , it takes a few passes to build a rich color
  19. I've used the pe saws for years opening doors and fine detail work. The bigger razor saws work good for larger areas where finese isn't needed
  20. Good tips ! I've forgotten much more from school than I recall yikes
  21. Fantastic work really enjoyed watching this come together!
