  1. Bill  I recall you saying you have a 1/1 69 Camaro. I would like to see some pics of that if possible. If your HAND BUILT scale model is this impressive,I can only imagine how nice your real car would be.

     

     

     

     

  2. Thanks guys! Just getting started, but wanted to show how differently you can go from stock...

    Tom, the tires are out-of-production "SoReal" TSL Boggers. Nice tires, I think a few resin casters have repopped these and the two other tires from the original line...

    The aluminum rims are Pegasus 17", and the centers are out-of-production resin Walker Evans.

    LOL :lol: Gotta get the ride height somehow to be able to build the suspension :P Now to build four new leaf springs...

    Scenes Unlimited sells the whole line of So Real tires redone in much softer Rubber. He also remastered the old Ground Hog, putting the lettering on both sides so they are in the correct direction. Something to check out then...

  3. This started out s a 2wd Maisto 57 Suburban. I swapped it onto a M2 1959 GMC 4x4 chassis. Tires, wheels and rear trailer hitch from Scenes unlimited.Semi detailed the interior. I also stripped the chrome going for the base stripper look.

  4. A lot of grinding in the front of the suburban and the frame.. The chassis length is right,you just have to make it fit. It was a messy swap (dremel) on the diecast. I cut the inner fender wells of the maisto chassis to fill the big gap in the rear. But it was worth all the effort. It is mostly done now.
