Understood, I was just posting for the detail. So what is the visual difference?

Have you checked out the Model Meister Webers. I bought some and they seem a bit large and they have nice detail.

Very nice. Going to be sweet!

We're glad you "had to share" it because we are anxious to see the progress..and loving it!

Very nice! 3-D's day is coming quickly. Thanks for sharing.

Sounds like a major undertaking to me. You can buy the Revell Jukebox Ford kit for the motor a lot cheaper. I've seen some nice builds with that engine. I bought the kit just in case I wanted to use the engine at some point. As for buying another RG engine, I've had trouble locating then since he passed. I'm sure they are being hoarded to jack up the price.

Model Meister makes some nice ones that even come with an external wastegate and fittings, and they come in at least two sizes. I have a set and they are the best I've bought. It is an overseas outfit, so it takes a little longer to get them. B-N-L resins also have some but I've never bought any. I have bought some from VCG Resins though and they are okay.

Nice work! Very clean build.

Sweet!!

David, I use the Chrome browser which allowed me to select Translate Page. Give it a try. As for the model, yes it looks fantastic, kudos to the builder. But I won't even guess at what that had to cost!

I agree with Mark on subbing out a funny car chassis. I bought that kit for parts and I think it would be a major undertaking to alter that chassis for a flip top. That being said, you can't hit a ball unless you step up to the plate. Like Mike said, post your pics as you go. I'm sure you'll get advice as needed. Good luck Michael.

Thanks again Fred. In fact, I was going with Dupli-color silver for the color. I think I'd better do the body early in the build to be sure.

Dimensions would help. What is the hole diameter?

No prob, I'll put it together tomorrow and PM it to you.

Keith, before you buy the LC just for the dash, I can send pics and dimensions if that would help. If you get the GC you can match the dimensions.

Thanks Fred. I was planning on using Dupli-color automotive primer on it first. You think that would suffice to seal the red menace?

Looks ready to take on the mud!

Don't forget, if its over 30 yrs old you don't have to RHD it unless you want to.

Cody I've never seen those for sale before, but perhaps you could make something like this work. I don't know how much you wanted to spend but there are a couple of these on eBay. Another option would be to buy aluminum sleeve or cut the middle out of some and fabricate styrene inserts. I don't know how you would get the spun aluminum look though. Good luck.

Thanks for the launch Jonathan. Count me in with a Toyota Land Cruiser. I'm planning on updating it and adding a few special touches.

Impressive! Beautiful color and excellent decal application.

Great stuff guys!

I don't have enough putty to finish that thing!

I've never buffed it and I'm on my second can.

I like the idea! Thanks for sharing it with us.
