  1. started this the other night, first order of business was taking care of the 'fender flares' lol, have all the wheel lips re-done, filled some sink marks in the door area, and it is now in primer, will sand and re-check body work tomorrow probably. at this point the plan is a straight up stock build, most likely in sublime green......but that color could change by the time i actually spray something on it, lol.
  2. got some work done, lot to do yet, also forgot to post this pic in my first post, figured I would try a lace paint job, not perfect, but not too bad for a rattle can job, thanks for looking
  3. great scores guys! lot of cool stuff
  4. very nice build, the color combo is fantastic ! I did a monogram 70 awhile back and used a P/E kit on it, but only used the badges and a few other bits, some of it seemed too large for the car. super looking build
  5. i like that a lot! great color on a clean build, well done.
  6. you really killed it on this build great build, and great sense of humor too
  7. that is some fine looking work, beautiful stuff, thanks for posting those.

    my 2016 builds

    thanks all the pink 32 was part of a group build for the 2016 NNL East show, bunch of us did pink cars for breast cancer awareness [all different cars, but each one pink]. the plymouth was kind of a 'goof' build really, i was shooting for an 80's vibe, so chose some, shall we say, vibrant colors, lol. funny part is, I really like how it came out crazy colors and all.
  11. yes, the goal; is to finish it, granted, some take longer than others. I have a detail oriented job that also includes getting things done rather quickly, so when it comes to models I feel the need to complete what I started, albeit at a slower/fun pace. as to the fun being over when something is on the shelf, not for me, I like to think of the time I spent working on whatever model I happen to be looking at at the moment.
  12. big trucks is the thought for this one, maybe someone could start a build off for the pick ups/vans etc.?
  13. did more this year than I thought that was my year, thanks for looking.
  14. thanks guys. Gator, I was thinking a load of lumber originally, but I like the sewer pipe idea!
  15. ok fellas, let's get this going! "I" want to run this like a contest, but with no real prize at the end, just for fun, and maybe if you guys treat it like a contest it will keep you motivated to keep building. so, having said that, the rules, 1. must have fun 2 monthly update 3 build whatever ya want, mild to wild, snappers included, clean, dirty, primer, shiny, who cares, make it fun so you want to keep building it. I guess we can start January 1 and run untill December 31 of 2017, so if interested, sign up, and I will edit this to reflect who's in and what they are building. I will also see if i can get this 'pinned' so we can find it if this takes off. gentlemen, to your benches ok, here is the list so far, if you had your build listed, it's by your name, if you had a couple choices, i left it open for now, pm me when decided, and i will update this list. tbill KW wrecker gotnitro?

  17. great looking build !
  18. wow, I am totally digging this build, very cool!
  19. thanks all Vince, the color is a GM color called 'Ladies and Magenta-Men". I work at a Chevy dealer, so when I see a color I like, I order some right from GM in a spray can.
  20. started on this awhile ago, and it sorta got set aside during other projects, but it's back on the bench. have a lot of the parts painted and ready for detail, but i wanted to see how it was gonna look up on wheels, so last night i mocked it up to see how we were looking, I think I'm gonna like it thanks for looking.
  21. i thought i had replied to this already, this is looking great! you're really in a groove on this one, keep plugging away.
  22. excellent score! might better re-sell it to fund about 30 other projects or so.
  23. looking good Jim. glad to help out
  24. it's done, i'd like to get some outside pic's this coming weekend, but if i cant, i'll post the indoor shots for an under glass post. thanks for following along everyone
  25. short cab perhaps? maybe they figured no one would understand day cab?
