  1. Love the color choice, very Nice!
  2. That makes sense. I was figuring that it was a pre-S/C version of the car. So it makes sense to have small differences if it's a 66 base car. I was mixing an matching to get the car to look right. A real S/C Rambler kit goes for over $100 online so I figured the best way to add one to the collection was this way. I've even seen a couple real life versions that were clones, including a post car. So, I'm happy with a good clone.
  3. Well the car I used wasn't an actual S/C Rambler, but a regular Rambler, so there are some small details that aren't correct. There should be turn signals on the side of the car, also as pointed out there was no hood ornament as well. I thought about painting one on, but worried it would blend to much with the arrow on the hood. As for the hood arrow, I realized it looked crooked after the decals dried and I clear coated it, however, in all my reference pics (including one from a local show) the arrow was off set from the hood. I do realize that the rims need to be painted blue, As for just masking and painting myself......the thought did cross my mind.
  4. Had to do a lot of work on this one. Got a really crappy Rambler pro-street model and then had to buy the decals separately. The fit was horrible and I had to trim a lot of the pieces to make them fit. However the rods for the wheels were of plastic and could not be trimmed, so I just glued the wheels straight onto the model. The decals were a tad larger than the car, so I had to trim them. They were also on giant sheet, so I had to trim all of them out separately too. It was a pain, but it looks good.
  5. That would look good with my Me-109. It's got the same stripe on the propeller.
  6. Looks Great. I used to have one, but my step mom broke it moving.
  7. Very, Very Nice!
  8. Love it. Were the SS emblems with the kit? Mine didn't have them in it and I've been looking for some on ebay.
  9. Wow! Super Nice! I am very jealous. Now I want to get the kit! Shiny too.
  10. No I didn't have to lower it. That was the way it came. It may have been slanted on the couch, or maybe the wheel covers give it the lowered illusion? I'll have to see if they have dark wash at the shop. Never seen or heard of it till now. Always thought people painstakingly used toothpicks/ect. to get in the crevasses of the grill/ect.
  11. I had a lot of problems with this build, including no clear plastic parts! However, I was able to save it and make it into a fantastic looking build. I had to buy the clear plastic from a 57 and trim it to fit the car. I also had to fabricate my own turn lights. I still think it looks great though.
  12. I love my Chevelles, my Challenger, and my Charger.......but I haven't been able to stop messing with this thing since I finished it. It came out better than expected!
  13. Very, Very nice!
  14. Very nice. I just completed this kit too, and will be uploading the pics soon. I'll agree it was kind of a challenging kit.
  15. Nice
  16. I think I did a pretty good job on these considering the kits weren't much.
  17. Love it!
  18. Love the idea, just not the color.
  19. Very Nice!
  20. Yes, it was. As I remember it was a very nice kit to build. Had everything I needed to make it look nice and was easy to build.
