amazing! this is just great man!

icy blue over white primer, hope this helps some.

Kevin, that color over gray will darken it a little, that interior tub is icy blue over gray primer.

interior and chassis looks great, this is going to be a beauty.

buzzin along, lol, glad i'm not doing 6 in 1/12 scale, hahaha.....

wow, looks fabulous. this just gets better and better! keep at it, won't be long now...

i'm hooked! looking good so far, trunk looks terrific, well done. will be following this for sure.

again, thanks guys Joe, the transmissions will be painted aluminum, I left them orange for now so I could handle them. Carl, bench is kinda crowded now, haha. so, engine shop is closed, other than trans paint, engines are done, got another interior about done, and the Titan cab got cleared, and some matching decals applied, doesn't seem like it, but got a lot done in the past couple of days. hopefully more to come soon......

great looking car! I did a frame off on a 71 as well, got it to the body being in primer , running, almost road worthy[after several years] and had to sell it. biggest changes I made were to install and wire in an SS dash, and added a non functional cowl hood [no flapper in hood] and put a 12 bolt posi out of a 69 chevelle in it. yours is a beautiful looking car. years later, I bought a 71 Camaro SS, black on black, 350/4sp, 34k miles on it, numbers matching, that's kind of why i'd like to see more of the 70 SS model, I want to replicate the 71 I had eventually, need to find a full bumper and proper turn signal lenses/valance parts.

having little kids chews up time, no two ways about it. it's probably why a lot of us here have gotten back into the hobby in the last few years, kids grown, and now we have time to be at the bench. it's a shift in priorities really. I get your original post, you're fine with doing family things, but a few more hours in a day would be nice to sit and do 'me time'. I bet with a little thought, and a talk with the wife about each of you getting an hour or two to yourselves would be pretty productive, each of you might be able to carve out a few hours a week to focus on some 'me time', as I am sure with two youngsters, an hour or two of quiet time to yourselves would be very welcome.

WOW! very nice! now, would love to see more of the 70 Camaro, and how about some pic's of the 1:1 car you completed?

my son and I would primarily just bash around the back yard with them, I got a huge back yard, so we'd build ramps and what not and just have a blast. every now and again, we'd get together with a few guys and go over to a local track and mess around. never raced, as that seemed like work to me, plus I never could drive worth a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH, lol. I was buying fuel for @ $25 a gallon for trinity monster power 25%. I do miss the smell of nitro

here are a few more pic's of the impala,

keep going Joe, looking great!

thanks guys, you all are keeping me motivated I had a little burst of energy when I got home today from work, got one more motor about done [need oil filter and alt bracket], and got some color on the Titan 90 cab. here is a sneak peek at the Titan, hope to finish up the motors tomorrow, then it may be onto chassis details, as always, thanks for following, and stay tuned.....

Bill, i hear that, i still have all the r/c stuff in the garage, i figure i have about 10k wrapped up in all that stuff, but now the market has passed for the kinda stuff i have, so it sits there untill i feel like playing with it again, rather than take a huge loss on selling it all.

lol, are we all brothers or something? i have a dozen r/c trucks out in the garage. HPI savage's [1/8th scale], a couple HPI nitro m/t's [1/10th], a storm buggy, and HPI hellfire, a losi lst 2 and a few others, along with 30 or so bodies, several tire sets and enough support equiptment to start a hobby shop. and yes, my wife is pretty cool about my plastic addiction

thanks all the impala body was supposed to be a test body for painting, but the first try came out so good, i had to build it

Joe, i get the flocking from 'the model car garage', i also got 90% of the PE stuff and 'wiring' from there as well. they have a ton of stuff and great customer service.

haha, I live closer, shipping would be cheaper

congrat's on the new ride, very sharp looking and those wheels look great on it.

I bet there was a lot of the same sentiment when all the names we know today became 'general motors' back in the day. and ya, Bill pretty much nailed it otherwise.

here's my list of 2014 completions, I think that's it for cars, the rest of my builds were big rigs.

I didn't realize that I had finished these during 2014 as well,

Chuck, you are the rust king! another rusty beauty, well done man.
