  1. Awesome work!
  2. Sweet build!
  3. Beautiful work! Great attention to detail and light fabrication. Well done!
  4. Well, here are pics of my first and only chop. It wasn't as hard as you might think, but was a nice test of my skills. Here is a link to my Fotki site with detail on how I did it. https://public.fotki.com/Urban-Poet/32-vic/ As for resin, I've done a few of them and they are no picnic either. You need to be very careful when sanding the stuff as it can cause respiratory issues and there may be work getting it to fit the chassis. I'm not against resin though by any stretch. Whichever you pick, enjoy!
  5. Awesome build! Well done!
  6. Very nice work! On the truck and photography.
  7. Awesome build Tom! Simply beautiful.
  8. Nice concept!
  9. Hey folks, here's and updated entrant list. Let me know if I've missed anyone. Meatman - Ford C-cab Disconovaman - 63 Chevy II wagons Jantrix - 66 Buick Wildcat Pat Minarick - Rear engine trike 53GMC - Chevy cabover EV kermn8r - 70 Cuda
  10. Sorry I didn't respond to your post Seth. Your results are a little sedate for the CBP but that's some awesome detail. I'll still add you to the list of entrants.
  11. Yes, I need that. Right now I'm using bins and plastic boxes in two locations but I have them separated in bags. I have a bin for body parts, one for chassis parts separated by type. Rear ends, springs & shocks, batteries, rear ends, and front ends each get a bag. Interior parts are in another bin, separated by dashes & consoles, steering wheels & seats. Engine parts get a bin too separated by engine assemblies, breathers & rocker covers, manifolds, carbs & FI, and ignition & electrical.
  12. Thanks for posting! I need a setup like that for my C-cab rear door. I just got the brass in last week.
  13. If you look at the ad carefully you may note that it says a print ready stl is $900! I'm assuming that the stl that is on the file list is not print ready and will probably require extensive work in Blender or some other program.
  14. That's crazy, but its not just electronic parts. On a lesser scale, my wife's Rogue was rear-ended this past summer and it took nearly two months to get all of the parts. We're talking body parts mostly!
  15. I'll be keeping up with this one. I have an affinity for the 63 Galaxie. My late brother-in-law owned one and I used to help him hot rod it. It had a 289 in it that we swapped out for a 390. Jacked it up in the back, added some Cherry Bombs, and all the other requisite bolt-ons. It was the first car I ever helped hot rod. I built a tribute to it but was a bit disappointed by the results.
  16. Thanks for posting this!
  17. I've got about as many as you plus about four bodies that I may or may not build. I've throttled back purchases and will now only buy a kit that simply won't allow me to ignore it.
  18. Nice save! I remember my brother building that kit back when Hector was a pup.
  19. Well done!
  20. Yeah, tried that. They are so thin that drilling isn't an option. Thanks.
