Sorry for your misfortune Michael.

Nice build. I like the color, and that's a lot of FoMoCo sticking out of the engine bay!!

One bad Ford!!

I like where you went with it, but for me the tires take some of the "sinister" out of it. Good work though.

Great stuff Scott! I just bought a couple of things from you for a future build and it's nice to see how it's done. Thanks for sharing your build.

In the end; money talks, and profit screams!! Which prob does mean that they are seeing us vote with out dollars. Resin kits, etc. are making inroads against styrene. They know they need to offer more. My take anyway.

Wow, great idea!!

Just want to take the time to thank Revell for a recent kit save. I have a Ferrari 458 that I maimed the taillights on. I asked for replacements explaining that it wasn't Revell's fault but my own. Even though the kit is discontinued they sent me the lights without a bill. I was almost done with the thing and put a lot of work into it and they came through. I too have had misadventures with Revell but I'm still glad they're in the game. Besides, half the time I kit bash anyway!!

Really nice work. Like the real thing! IR suspension, new dash, & updated engine. You even put cats on it!

I'm sorry Tom, but have you watched the auctions lately and seen some of the insane numbers paid for cars. I don't think its out of the question. Btw, we are just having fun anyway.

That's the route I'm taking. Got the wheels & tires from a BMW parts kit and some caps from an Impala. I've already sized it up and it looks like a plan.

Never posted the finished product.

Nice concept!!

Definite shoehorning!! Now, about that radiator...

Very nice detail Robert. Nice start. I have that kit on the shelf for a Summer build.

Posting updates and not finishing them is not an issue for me. I do it myself in fact. I started one project and then realized that I needed more experience before tackling it. Didn't really know it bothered anyone. I use other guys posts to learn new ways of doing things. So if they have an idea that I can use I'd rather see it sooner rather than later. That's my take anyway.

Back before I had common sense I raced on of those with my '77 Camaro. We were on the freeway and I was just over 100 mph and we were running neck & neck. All of a sudden he shot away from me like I was standing still. Never saw anything like it. '77 Camaros were dogs but 100 mph is still 100 mph!

One mean pony!!

Thanks Tim.

I wanted to get a little work done on my Skyline for February so I decided to try to close the fenderwells to get the stock look. I had a pair of skirts from my Thunderbird build and used them to fill the gap. Had to grind down the slight flares on the skirts as well as cut off some of the ends. I used some very thin rectangular styrene strips for the body bulge. I laid the main strip on end and two adjacent strips flat to get the taper. It came out pretty well with the help of some filler. I'll let it set a few days and then start sanding. Next I'll tackle cutting the chassis floorboard to get transaxle to fit. That and installing the rear end look to be the biggest challenge as the Vette transaxle mounted without springs to a flat chassis on top. Now I'll be mounting it underneath with coilovers.

Yeah well, we've got a winter weather warning that says 8"-12" of snow! I'm not jealous though. I'm not, I'm not. The hell I'm not!

Class act!

Looks like this CBP is turning into a jailbreak!!! I love it!

Very nice work. I love what you did with the front wheels!

Nice concept. Can't wait to see the final product.
