Thanks guys. I detailed the wheels last night, and also added BMF to the turn signal markers. Then painted them appropriately. Was so tired I forgot to take pictures. Plus I was caught up in Magnum P.I. lol I also realized I goofed and painted the tail panel silver, when it should have been black. So I corrected that.

New month, new update.... Still havent gotten my parts from "a/gass". Been over six months. Might have to withdraw the General Mayhem from this challenge and find some other kit(s) to put in the ring...

Nova body, Torino roof and..... AMX/Javelin rear?

There's a Meijers on my way to/from work... If I get some time, I'll see what I can do.

Couple quick pics of it mocked up.. didnt have a lot of time to work on it this weekend... I painted the trim w/ model masters chrome and it looked just ok over the bronze. But I felt now was the time to try my hand at BMF. And I must say, I'm impressed with my first time results. I didnt do the wheel arches because I tried a few times and just decided to leave them alone. But everything else looks great in my opinion! Then w/ the BMF... Also added a wash to the gills of the grill center. BMF applied to the door handles, rocker moldings, and all window trim. Had the interior been in separate pieces I would have done door handles and whatnot, but since it was a one piece tub, I just painted the handles chrome. I'm also surprised at how well the BMF held up not in a "cold" environment. I've had this pack for almost a year unopened and its been anywhere from a basement, to the seat of my truck, to my closet and its still holds. So, since the car is close to needing clearcoat... this begs the question.... White stripes or Black stripes???

That yellow fender-less '32 was built by my friend's dad.

I love it!

I've been waiting for some parts for over SIX months.

This is awesome! Would be neat to make one a flatbed hot rod hauler!

Truth. lol It upsets me more when someone is careless or lazy enough to not take pride and put good solid craftsmanship into their own 1:1 project vehicle than anything. I have a friend who painted under hood of is '86 LX coupe with "heat resistant bbq grille paint" and isnt worried about the rust holes in his torque boxes, or the holes in the floor he's going to patch with flashing and caulk... like... really dude you have an aluminum headed 302 that is a MACHINE and you're putting not fixing the death trap that its in?? Thats the kind of stuff that really irks me. model cars are model cars to me. I love building them, but I do it for me. I dont go crazy detailed on them, or care if they have an uncontrolable flaw. such is life. It's just plastic.

Uhh..... thats definitely a photoshop if I've ever seen one. However if it was a kit... I'd burn it.

Where's the thread w/ that beautiful blue one someone did as unmarked?

Needs the velocity stacks though!

It sounds silly, but build a few snaptites. I'm doing that now, but I'm painting them and making them as nice as I can. It's fun and quick, and plus it gets kits out of the way that I've put off for a while. Check out my '94 Camaro thread and my '74 cuda thread. 2 models in almost 2 weeks.

And if you want to run Torq-Thrust wheels, you can probably rob them from the '68 Mustang Cobra Jet, because it comes w/ the parts to make a Bullitt car, and they are the goofy wheels that are bigger than they should be that fit *inside* the hollow tires.

So here's some pics from last night. Tamiya primer is the shizz... Shot some gray metallic on it after the primer, just a quick base of it. Same color as I painted the '94 Camaro I just finished Then shot model masters dark bronze metallic. Which looks *pretty close* to Aztec Gold. Sprayed the chassis to simulate overspray Got the chassis *mostly* detailed minus a wash to darken things up Had to put a few layers of brown o the interior to get it to cover... not happy with the fact that I nearly lose all the texture in the mold... Mixed some brown w/ a few drops of white and made light brown inserts. So more to come tonight. It's coming along quickly! Should I paint the headliner the same brown as the interior, or the light brown that I mixed up? What would it have been on a real car?

LOVE IT!!!!!!! I'm a fan of any well done Mad Max movie car!!! A+!!

Pics tomorrow.... got a lot done tonight. Color isn't spot on but I'm happy with it. Interior is just ok. Really hard to cover up that molded in yellow plastic....

Wow. I dig that Lincoln!! I wish someone would make a 1:25 scale Lincoln Mark VIII.... I want a replica of my hotrod lincoln!

I checked out your review. Very cool. I for one am not a fan of Revell's new style of attaching wheels to the car, nor their giant wheels that fit inside the hollow tires. Makes it real hard for a guy like me, who isnt a pro at scratchbuilding, to be able to kit bash and put different wheels and tires on it. I want to build the Hot Rod Magazine Crusher Camaro out of this kit really badly. I have all the parts to do it, but now that I see the wheels attach w/ metal pins, that sort of depresses me and I'll probably just have to glue the wheelbacks straight to the axle.

I drove to Rome for the heck of it one day. It's just where I happened to end up. Turned around, and drove home. lol

That sucks on the 12 string.... I've got a 2012 Gibson Les Paul 60's tribute (faded black, I added black pickup covers, toggle coin, switch tip, black metal input jack square, and had a custom all black pick guard made for it) AND got it signed by Unknown Hinson (look him up, he's a riot!) Just got (for free) a Squire Bullet (basically a fender strat) in blue w/ white pick guard and mahogany fretboard, cleaned it up and it plays great. Also have an old 70's Epiphone ET-275, similar to the wilshire body. It's sunburst, I also have a twin for it in black. an old acoustic by grandpa used to play, of unknown name. It's ruined from being in a moist environment. Also, my fav... a late 40's Gibson ES-150 electric acoustic. Freaking sweet guitar. Lastly an old chinese kit guitar that my dad put together in the 60s or 70s. I HAD an offbrand 4string bass that looked like a fender jazz bass, but wasnt a fender. Sold that. Like I said, I cant play real well, and dont expect ever to be able to, but guitars are beautiful.

Wow. I can honestly say that is awesome. At first I wasn't convinced just seeing the sides and how 2-dimensional and flat that looked... but once you put it on the jig w/ the other parts, it looks amazing!

Very cool!! Glad to see it finished! I know what you mean on having other stuff to spend cash on.... guitars are a weakness here too... I cant play very well.. but I somehow have 7 guitars.

Welcome from not-too-far away from you Ohio!
