These are really nice kits and it looks like you are making the most out of it Craig. Good work.

This......................is about as real as it gets! Fabulous work!!!

Now this is totally different!! Very cool Rob!!!!!!

Way to go on passing the torch down Anthony! Your son did an outstanding job!!

Looks awesome James. Where'd you get the wheels from?

Thanks Tom. I think it's gonna take "mad genius" to get that Freightliner done. lol

Man..................that's a good lookin' car Mike.

Heya Dan! I've let this one go to a certain degree just because I've been so dang busy in the 1:1 scale world. I'm coming back around to this one but needed something a little more like I'm used to for the time being. I started another "Demon II" build over in the Auto section that shouldn't take me too awful long to get completed. I may even have it done in time for the HAMS show in Houston for July. I want to take my time on this FL and do a decent job so rushing is out the window. Will be back soon with some things that I've found with the kit and how to overcome them. Thank you for checkin' in pal. I see what you mean Rich. It's not much but it's there. Will look into that.

Man..........I'll put this on the scale of watching Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Eric Johnson play at the same concert. This is gonna be one heckuva show right here!

I've been working on this one on and off this week. Engine build is under way. I've decided to NOT go the blower route and go with a dual quad super stock motor. I'll be using the heads, rocker covers, intake and timing cover out of the 68 Hemi Dart kit (which I'll have to replace because I do want to build a Hemi Dart) and retaining the block and transmission from the Willys Street rod kit so as to keep the mods to fit the engine into the frame to a minimum. I had to modify the timing cover and intake slightly to get them to fit together on this engine block. I've been doing a lot of studying on this particular powerplant because I want to replicate the fuel delivery system and throttle linkage. Here's the base build up as of earlier in the week: and here we are with it as of now (Part number is wrong on the filter-might should've left that part off). another thing that has caught my interest are the two piece aluminum wheels that are available these days. I actually acquired these wheels some time back but the rear wheels were so wide that I didn't have a tire wide enough to mount them in. So I took both of the wheel sleeves into a machine shop and had them cut the sleeve to the depth I wanted and "Walla!" , I've got myself a set of usable Pro Street wheels now. I'll have the wheel studs and lug nuts coming by next Thursday. Here's where we're gonna go with the tire and wheel set up:

Good Lord!!!!!!!!!

Now what's a guy to say about this build that hasn't already been said?? I haven't been on this forum all that long (4-1/2 years) and this was going on when I got here. I've been popping in and out on this build and all I've seen here is pure and non stop masterful work. Mister................you really know how to build a model car. I don't know if there are words strong enough to describe what I see here. Way to go Chris................way to go!!

Fantastic work!!!!

When I saw that car on the cover of the magazine I was hoping to see more pictures of it....................and here it is! Fantastic work Cruz! Glad I was able to not only find more photos of it but to comment to the builder on what a modern art masterpiece this car is.

Your persistence certainly paid off Dave. Excellent looking build man.

That's a good lookin' Cobra Ben!

Man this is a good and clean build Bernard.

That couldn't have been said better. I've got three projects like that and I gave up on one of them. I find myself building less complex builds and concentrating on my skills more to pull off a good build rather than going into "overkill" mode. A lot happier and I honestly feel like I'm building better as a result of it.

Will be lookin' in on this one!

That engine is looking great Ben! A little clean up on the belt and pulleys but other'n that it looks superb!!

Very nice build going on here. Details are really going to set this one off.

Love it Dale!! Great color and interior work pal.

As a past owner of three '67 notchbacks I can not only appreciate the amount of work that you're going through to achieve correctness in this build , I can also respect the hell out of it. Bill............this is one amazing build buddy. Very much looking forward to the rest of this one!

Thanks fellas. Just to let everybody know.............I am still working on this one. I've got the chassis mostly finished up except for the brake rotors up front and the exhaust system. I've also gotta tweak the toe in setting on the front end to keep the excessive toe in look from happening on the front wheels when fully assembled. I narrowed the rear axle to get the wider tires underneath the rear fenders and lowered the front suspension a good 1/8" to make it an even drop all the way around. I did acquire the only PE piece made for this kit which will help the front end out ALOT. Sorry Revell..................that's good for OOB but it aint gonna cut it on this build. I'm currently working on the engine which will take me a bit because of the detail I want to throw at this beast. I'll be robbing a lot of the parts except for the base engine block and transmission (which I'll leave OOB) from the Revell Hemi Dart kit. I was going to post some engine progress pics as well but the Spaz Stix clear doesn't work well with Model Master acrylic paint. Turned it white in the crevices so I'll be shooting another thin coat of orange on the block and re-coating the clear with Tamiya clear like I usually do the next time around. Today's learning curve complete.

Oh HELL yeah! I'm in on this one!!!!
