  1. That's awesome even before the reading the text along with it!Especially impressive given the situation. My father suffered a stroke and lost use of his right side so I can imagine the work that went into building it.
  2. Thanks everyone, it was a fun build. It's hard to see but the doors have decals I made to replicate his father's old business card. He had a plumbing and heating business.
  3. I started this kit for my father to cheer him up last spring. He suffered a massive stroke and thought this would liven up his surroundings. After many hang ups, it's finally finished in time for Christmas. Thanks for looking
  4. Holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH is that killer! The wheels are perfect for it too.
  5. Thanks guys. I like that slogan Don. I might have to make a bumper sticker for it with that
  6. Thanks Guy, and thanks for suggesting I resize them. On my phone, I couldn't even tell they were small lol
  7. Ok I just uploaded them right to the forum. Now they seem bigger. Sorry about that lol
  8. Thanks. I used photobucket so I'm not really sure how to resize then. Do you guys just upload right to the site?
  9. Well I built the Dodge Magnum SRT8 kit and it's mostly box stock. I built my own exhaust with resin mufflers and added some goodies to the interior to make it look realistic. Hope you guys like it.
  10. Thanks Slusher and I appreciate that Mopar. I think I can call this one finished. Let me know what you think. If you look closely, you can see the NY inspection and registration stickers I made In the back, you can see the tool kit and jumper cables Here's what the toolbox looks like all finished
  11. The paint laid quite well on the body And again, I want realism with this project so I added a few little extra goodies to the interior.. I also made jumper cables and a tool set for the back hatch area since it opens on this kit Then I started assembling and detailing the chassis and engine bay.. And finally, the exhaust mockup Hopefully I'll have finished pictures up soon. Thanks for looking
  12. I started the Dodge Magnum with the intent of a quick, fun model but then got more involved and got a little bored. Well now it's found its way back on the bench. Here's where we're at.. I decided she needed a bigger exhaust so she could breathe Then I realized I needed exhaust clamps for realism Just your run of the mill 6.1 Hemi
  13. Thanks guys. MsDano, it is Dark Toreador Metallic. It's duplicolor touch up paint.
  14. Thanks everyone. Dare1, they come in a package with a bunch or colors. I think they're used for sewing.
  15. I started this kit around the first of the year but, due to illness, had to take a few months off from model building. Well I've finally finished her and I hope you guys enjoy. I've included a few WIP pictures too. The shifter was made with a needle from the local crafts store I actually made my own gauges and printed them out on photo paper.
  16. That's awesome. I'm actually doing the same thing but I designed mine on the computer. The chassis looks great
  17. Wow those flames look great. Mind if I ask how you masked them off? I wanna do them on a near-future project
  18. The color looks great on that and the hood looks even better. Great work!
  19. Those look great. I love the mod top especially.
  20. I'm working on making my own exhaust for a project and want to get some resin mufflers. The car is gonna have a 3 inch exhaust using 3mm solder. Does anyone know of any mufflers that are large enough? I don't want the pipes larger than the mufflers themselves. Thanks
  21. So I'm working on a rustic looking pickup. Supposed to look like a barn find. Well I melted the tires to flatten them but want to make it look like dry rot also. Anyone have any tips?
  22. I love that purple. Really excited ty to see the end result.
