  1. nice builds, i really dig the del-rio.
  2. not a thing wrong with that group! work always seems to interfere with fun time.........
  3. looking good! love the light blue chevy
  4. no sir, what do you want to build?
  5. i may have to jump into this as well, might as well, i'm in both truck a thons, so as soon as i find something in the stash to build, i think i'm in if you'll have me
  6. here is the kit i am starting with, i did one a couple of years ago for another on-line contest, and don't have the model [was part of the contest, they supplied kit, you built it, and sent it back] and bought this kit to replicate it, but i think a color change is going to be in order. here is my first build of this kit, looking forward to building it again.
  7. Gator, nice display cases! this is my set up, this seems to be an evolving set up, as i build, things move around.... the room itself has evolved since those pics, haha
  8. these are the cases that Gary Wallace sells, very nice stuff, and he will make custom sizes.
  9. now you've done it Terry, I want to see the mixer AND the dump done this year
  10. i like it you are not afraid to tackle the unusual
  11. oh yeah, this is gonna be cool!
  12. hahaha, Dan, that is too freaking cool!! i love it!
  13. finally got back to this the other day. i had been thinking of doing it sublime green, but just couldn't do it, wanted something a little different, but didn't know what. so, after what seems like forever, i settled on GM Dark Labyrinth Metallic, or tungsten if you prefer, lol, it's a dark gray metallic. i also opted for the silver hemi decals for the quarter panels. now, i'm undecided on interior color................ugh.....,but, here is where i am at now, thanks for looking, should have regular updates on this now.
  14. thanks all Chris,here are a couple chassis shots,
  15. well, haven't had a good chance for outside pic's, so these will have to do i suppose, lol thanks for looking
  16. ok, here's what i will be doing, nothing is out of the box yet, just starting my thread
  17. ok guys, i think i have everything up to date as of right now, lol.

    my 2016 builds

    Thanks Dan. I managed to finish up one more, not pleased with this one, got in a rush to get it done.........was tired of seeing it on the bench......... that's definitely the last one for 2016.
  19. I really like the chevelle, both look great to me
  20. Richard, Jesus and Sam, you're added to the list
  21. i don't usually venture in here, but after seeing this, i will look around here more, fantastic build, absolutely beautiful.
  22. my goodness that's pretty! what a beautiful build, well done.
  23. that is pretty sweet, i really like the whole theme.
  24. in my opinion, if bmf gives you trouble, alclad will make you lose your mind [ask me how i know, lol] my best advice, use bmf, also, go to HL and get some of the tiny q-tip looking things, the real small ones. lay down your bmf, then take the tiny q-tip and rub the foil down real good, now with a new blade, trim the foil around the body/molding lines, peel off excess, then with tiny q-tip like device mentioned earlier, re rub the foil down along where it was trimmed. this will help smooth any jagged edges from cutting. trust me, once you get a feel for the bmf, you'll love it, and if one part doesn't look right, peel it off, and try again, you'll be glad you did. i think you have a good start on foiling, i think with a little practice, you'll have it mastered.
