  1. well, i sent an e-mail, and they are in fact available now. thanks for the input everyone.
  2. ok, we now have the body painted in the correct color to match the real car, i also have the seats done, and one door panel, been slow going, but you know how it is with 2 or 3 things going at once......
  3. that looks fantastic! try foil on the hood, with a little patience it can be done, i thought it was impossible at first, but got a satisfying result [not perfect mind you, but passable]. atleast give it a shot, i think you'll be glad ya did.
  4. i did, as you click to get to cart/price, it says 'not for sale'............ but thank you for the link.
  5. anyone out there actually make/offer a 1/12 small block chevy single 4BBL stock type intake? i need one for a project, but have yet to run across one. any help out there??
  6. oh yeah! nice build, love the choice of color as well.
  7. glue or tape that stand together, or it will pop apart at the worst time................been there, done it, got the paint film in the pond because of it......
  8. oooff! sweet color!!! this is gonna look over the top.
  9. watching this one, cool save!

    progress...... i used Al's idea that he posted on Kevins AMX thread for the emblem on the pillar, and i bmf'd the hood openings, then painted gunmetal in the screen area. not perfect, but ok for me. thanks for looking....
  13. thanks all. Harry, that is a trick of light, it is a reflection of the clearcoat in the sun.
  14. Al, good thought on that, that may be the ticket. Kevin, i had thought of maybe doing the 'inner circle' in white, may try it to see how it looks, if it looks horrible, body color it will be.
  15. man, that looks awesome! i gotta ask though [cause i am not sure how i am going to do it], what are your thoughts on doing the AMX emblem on the 'B' pillar? i don't know if i should try bmf, or try a silver sharpie. what're your thoughts on that? we both need to figure it out soon, lol.
  16. nice build, very nice color as well, well done.
  17. thanks guys
  18. looks great Chuck, although a little 'new' looking compared to the rusty gems you've been building lately.

    looks like i may try to bmf each entire 'scoop' and blackwash the 'screen' part of them.
  20. Skip, i had our body shop get some mixed up, and put in a spray can. it's actually PPG paint. upon closer inspection, it looks to NOT be marlboro maroon as it has flake in it and looks more brown-ish. guess i will be stopping at the body shop. looks like this one will stay this color, and i will do another body when i get the correct color.
  21. don't know why the last two pic's don't load.........
  22. i decided to build a replica of my bosses 67 'vette as a gift for his up coming retirement. the car is a 327/4spd in marlboro maroon, with a black and white interior. i plan to rob some bits and parts out of the 57 kit and the foose kit to try to pull this off. it won't be 100% dead on, but if i can get close, i will be pleased. so, here we go, http://i856.photobucket.com/albums/ab121/tbilling1/Mobile%20Uploads/1967%20corvette%20large%20scale/photo_zps0a1d87bc.jpg] so far i am happy with the finish, a little wet sand and polish and it should really shine. stay tuned for updates.......
  23. if that's bad, you got it made! that looks fabulous!
