I've asked this on occasion as well after seeing nice wheels on posts but I never get any replies. Are people not sharing this info?

Nice start! Great color combo. I had a 1:1 back in the day and hated to give it up, but I got married and the rest is history.

That thing is bad!! Nice work!

Nice work! Very neat!

Nice work!

Nice work! Some innovative additions. Where did the wheels & tires come from? I shelved by '56 because the wheels I have don't give it "that look" like yours. I'd like some in a similar size.

Hey Stan. This site conflicts with your color name but it might be a good start. https://myclassicgarage.com/marketplace/knowledge_base/1968-chevrolet-camaro

I was fortunate as well. I have a Chevy Semi Hemi engine I bought for a long-delayed project. Can't wait for this 'Stang to get done though!

Fantastic!!

Sweet car, very well done!!

Very nice work. I also like the kit and had to give it all I had not to buy it as I'm trying to keep my kits at a manageable number, but you'e making it tough to resist!!

Well done!!

Nice start.

Very nice!!

Welcome Rickard.

Fantastic job!!

This group's been quiet for a while so I figured I'd post an update. After much trial and error and a bit of profanity I managed to get the frame finished and the engine mocked. Wishing I'd added a little more room for the radiator but I can make it work. I had to box in the cab because it kept breaking at the A pillars because of the stress. Anyway I love where it's headed.

Very nice John. I must say that you were smart to get that RG engine since now they are a hot commodity!

Works for me!!

Great idea!

I'm glad things are getting back to normal. I'm sure that was quite the scare for you. I can't imagine it. Sending love.

My subscription virus software won't even let me go to an infected site and I've been on here every day this week. This site is not infected.

You're welcome guys. The brass is a great idea. I might try it myself.

I didn't find these on the site so if it's a repeat I apologize. I needed tow hooks and a clevis for my Land Cruiser so I came up with the idea of using solder. It's pretty simple. For the hook, I started with .062 solder and bent it into a hook. I then flattened it a bit. Next, I used a hobby knife to trim it as close to what I wanted the finished product to look like. After that I filed the hook to the finished product. The clevis was a bit more difficult, I used a smaller solder, about 1/16" and using looping pliers I bent it into shape using a picture as a reference. It took about four tries each time to get what I wanted. You have to be careful not to hold the pliers too tight, as the solder tended to flatten quite easily, and I'm heavy handed. It also could have been because it was flux core solder. For the clevis pin I used a shorter piece and flattened the end and filed it even. When I got the clevis on the bumper I added a drop of CA to hold the pin in place.

Nice work Nick!!
