Don't know what the old ones looked like but here is what comes now. Tires are okay, not impressive. It comes with four wide and four narrow. I haven't taken the parts out of the plastic except for the tires and decals and really don't want to open it yet, as I don't plan to build it this year.

Impressive!!

I agree with everyone else! Nice clean build, very well done. I bought the kit two weeks ago at a closing hobby shop at a discount. Glad to see it can turn out so well!

Very nice! Looks ready for a night out!!

Wow, I was unaware! Looks like he just gave it up based on the wording.

Very nice, detailed work Misha! Thanks for the info on the route. I think stealth is still an issue overall because if you get pulled over on any other section of the route in the real world they could pull you off the road, or detain you long enough to make any lead quickly disappear! To me, balance is key, which you appear to have!

Very nice work!! great weathering. I love the rear air bags.

Thanks Steve, I found that out when I got there! Too bad, now I have to drive out to Hobby Lobby for my paint.

They have a Facebook site, but the owner retired. Supposedly someone was buying the business but I don't see any updates since April when that happened. There are some 3D modelers on Shapeways that have some but they would require plating or painting and buffing.

Going to Parma Hobby just outside of Cleveland, Ohio today. Not the biggest store, and their main focus isn't model cars but I buy styrene and some paint from there. They have Tamiya, and that's a plus. I've got to get some styrene so I can "Z" my rat rod frame.

Very nice work!! Those are some great suggestions/observations as well. For the gravel guards, Jeff is spot on. You might want to look at aluminum pie plates, etc for thin and flexible aluminum sheet. They can be polished to a shine.

Here's my inspiration for my build, and a mock up. I'll be sectioning the body and a slight chop to the top. Neither of which I've done before. I plan on sticking with the Hemi but want to add some induction assistance through a blower or turbos.

Wow, lots of neat stuff to look at! Nice job.

Oooh!

Good stuff!

Nice work Steve!

Wow, some really creative stuff being done on some of these rods!

By the way, this is one mean ride. But I can't figure out where the "more paint" will go!

I'm finishing up my last two projects before getting getting fully devoted to my Land Cruiser and rat rod. Then it'll be full speed ahead and dang the torpedoes.

Now that's a sweet pair!!

I saw a gallon of 99% at the barber shop I frequent this past week and meant to ask him where he gets it. Purple power gets the primer off for me sometimes if I use a stiff brush, but it never gets it all.

I found one of those caps outside of my office! Put it in my pocket of course! Now I know where to get more. And actually, all cones aren't smooth all the way down!!

Very good use of material for authentic-looking cinder blocks. I may have to try the sheetrock, er..drywall method as I have a few pieces laying around.

Wow, that's an impressive collection!

Is it me or has the speed of the Internet gone back to the days of the screaming modem? I don't have the most modern computer, but even at work with fiber cable and latest computer the net is slow. It's faster than I have at home but one of the reasons is that they have the ability to block streaming vids. It took me almost an hour to post some pics on another site! And they wonder why people don't spend as much time on the web as they used to!
