Hey Justin, a couple of things to know about this kit. I built it but have to do some cleanup because I ran into issues with installing the windshield. It's not the easiest thing to install, especially once you've painted the body. If I had it to do all over again I'd install some locating pins on it. You might have other ideas but test fit it before painting the body. And those little vent windows, well have fun with those. Also, the engine is too tall once it's installed in the car and causes the hood to stick open a tad. There's a post out there from others who've had the same problem. So if you go with an alternative carb setup keep that in mind. All in all it's a nice kit and the end results can be impressive. Have fun.

Freaky ride! Well done.

Sounds like a nice idea. I've never done a resin build but I have a couple of resin bodies I've been afraid to tackle. Maybe I'll give it a try.

Really radical stuff! Glad I checked out this thread!!

Sweet!

OMG! Other than the blower sticking out of the hood you almost replicated the 1:1 SS 454 I brought back with me from the Army back in '78! I love it!!

Very impressive! Well done.

One last thing Ray. If you're using Internet Explorer try another browser. It got so goofy for me I abandoned it 2 yrs ago. Try Chrome of Firefox. If you're already using them, all I can do is pray for you! lol Dennis

Ray, I use PB all the time. do you use the "Image" icon to insert your pics?

I use their coupon to buy paint and glue and the occasional kit for parts. Yesterday I needed a can of gloss black in a bad way so I took the 50% of coupon and bought a can. I think it was old though as it kind of sputtered out even though I heated the can and shook it well. Now I've got a some buffing to do. I've also noticed that their bottle paints look like they've been there a while. Hobby Lobby is about a 15 minute drive one way but its worth the trip. I'll still buy my glue and bead wire from Michaels with the coupon though.

Nice rigs! Very impressive.

I've decided to do a series based on my birth year 1956. I just bought the Victoria, I'll get the Chevy next but most places have the Nomad and I want a coupe. At some point I'll get the Chrysler. I'm doing the Vic nearly stock with some period upgrades to look like it was used for weekend thrashing. I want to make the Chevy a resto mod with a modern drivetrain, and I think I'll go custom with the Chrysler. I've seen a couple of 1:1's that I love. I'll probably wait until Summer to build them but I'll be assembling the parts until then.

Very clean build. Love the paint.

Mean stuff there! Love the Capri and the Vega.

Love the colors myself.

I'd make it a custom. I did a search on these and there are some nice photos for inspiration. I think slamming it is imperative! I just got a '56 Vic and I've decided to go with a period mild hot rod look. Kind of a weekend racer. Good luck.

Looks nice. I'd have it in my stable.

Exactly the same? Never have, never will. Just me.

I like the Escort. My first pick was the Dodge Omni 024 but I decided to go with a RWD car since chassis work is one of my weakest skills.

Turbine's work as well. Remember the old Chrysler turbine?

Wow, nice work. Also, a lot of work. Congrats for hanging in there.

Nice take on a classic. Well done.

Very nice builds! The painting is meticulous.

Absolutely radical!!

Way to go Erik, nice builds. Congrats on winning the Cannonball CBP as well. I really like that '57 Ford, I just ordered the '56 because it's the year I was born. Might use some of your styling cues.
