Great looking setup! That old digger is pretty cool.

Thanks for the comments everyone, really appreciate it. Worked on the roll bar and got it fit. There will be two bars going to the rear through the package tray that will be put on later. Don't know if I'm going to add any more bars. Also did some work on the dash. Had to add some material to the right top dash pad and shape it to fit. The right side of the dash face is so thin you can see through it. Have fix that also. Got the body paint black inside and now taped off and ready for some primer. Try to get some paint on it this weekend, maybe. Thanks for looking and more to come................

These cars beautiful and you really did a nice job on this build. The paint looks perfect!

That is one cool build! Love the color, excellent engine details. Very nice!

You did a great job. Some pretty clean work!

Love the engine in the gold one!! Excellent work.

Turned out great, nice work!

Great work!

Nice!

Thanks for following along, Have another update, but first............... Tubbs, Thanks for sharing that with me. Might have to give it a try sometime. The rear tires came in revell kits like dobbertons j2000, max rat chevelle, matt hay's t-bird and others from around 1987-90. I'v scrapped alot of kits for these tires. After figuring out what to do next, I decided to work on the engine bay. The detail (what there was of it) was terrible. The idea was to make new panels for the firewall and inner fenders. But first I had to work on the front suspension (again, what there is of it). I made up a couple lower control arms and bent a paper clip to make the sway bar with. Can you see how poor this kit is yet! Next I started work on the inner fenders. The panels where cut off. Take a close look at the detail in that panel. Paper templates were made up and transferred to some sheet plastic. The firewall was next. All I did was cut it in half, saved the bottom, made a new top and trimmed to fit. Still more work to do in this area. After cutting the new inner panels out, they where fit and glued in place along with adding the top pieces to finish it off. I think it looks tons better. Also got a start on the roll bar.................... More to come...................

Hang in there, It'll get better nick, Just take a deep breath.

I like your attention to the details and fitting of the parts. Really nice work!

Thanks for the thoughts everyone. Much appreciated I know what your saying richard! The yellow this kit is molded in is like really soft and parts flex real easy. Here's a update on stretching the wheel openings. First thing I did was find center of the opening. Then I taped off the area that was going to be cut out of the quarter panel. After checking things twice, the quarter panel was cut. Once the piece was removed it was cut in half and each piece was trimmed on the ends then attached back on the quarter panel with some tape. You can see buy the gap how much the opening is stretched. A gap was purposely left on top as that is the thickness of the blade when the panel was cut. This gap will be filled with sheet plastic and super glue. And here is the panel back together and ready for some fin tuning. It's close to where I want it even at this point. Here's the other side being done........... Just a couple more..... More to come...............

Started building this project awhile back and was sidelined due to a failed paint job. Got the body back to point A and is ready for paint once again. When I first started working on this, the idea was to build a simple pro street car out of it since this kit is lacking the detail to do anything else with it. Here's the kit that I am working on........... The first step on this was to get some rubber under it in the rear. What was thought to be an easy "throw the tires under it" turned into a little more work than originally thought even though it has a metal axle (which is being used). The rear end from the kit is being used. The exhaust was cut off and the rear housing figured out and narrowed......... Then the frame rails had to be moved inboard. After figuring out where to move what, the frame was modified so the tires would fit. Here you can see the mount for the metal axle. The top hole is the new hole for the axle........ Now the tires will fit, but the wheelwell opening will have to be worked on. The tires are hitting the body and pushing it outwards around the lower part of the wheel opening. Next up: Stretching the wheel openings

Great work, Both turned out really nice!

Wow! That is one very nice mustang. Color combo and execution is spot on. I like the details under the hood too.

Nice work!

The details and finish are extremely well done! Very nice!

Beautiful!! What a super build!!

Nice start on what's going to be a very cool wagon. And right hand drive! The engine look's very nice! That drive system looks like system I sell to my customers for their cars. It's made by a guy in California. The name of the place is black mountain precision' They make cog drive system's for 1:1 cars. Check it out, you'll see what I'm talking about. Paul

Interesting concept! Turned out very nice!

This is one very clean build! I really like the interior colors and details. The paint is smooth too!

That is one great looking Porsche! Being that big scale really allows the details to come out. Outstanding work!

Fantastic looking firebird!. Your effort in the paint show's. Nice build

Nice! You did a great job! Nothing like a stock black '55.
