Essentially it's all I want to build. I restored nostalgia super stockers with my uncle and loved the finished product but was amazed at the characture those old race cars had after sitting for 25-40 years. This is my second build. Had issues with the first build. And now just want to build what I like. Crusty and rusty 60's MOPARS and patched up rat rods.

Thanks for the tip. I'm working with limited parts tools and materials and want to try chrome foil just can't afford it now. But I will try it down the road. And I will take any help, tips, or advise I can get as a rookie and would never take it as a knock of my work. I am a new member and have spent the last 3 days 8-10 hours each on this forum. The talent is mind blowing. Almost knowledge overload. So I'm gonna just do one new trick or method at a time. I'm a slow learner so I figure with any luck each build will get a bit better. Thanks again for the encouragement.

I'm new to the world of detailed modeling and desperately want to build nothing but weathered or barn find style cars. Never even tried it before but here goes nothing. I'm using ideas out of my head until I grasp some of the techniques I've seen on this forum. Always loved this body style so I grabbed it. Opting out of the chip foose design for a more 60's-70's street/race look. did some test fitting with the foose wheels first and hated it. added the hemi scoop from a dart kit I had. added some detail to the grille. laid some flat over the chrome to dial it down a bit. my take on worn out seats. It's far from great but it was a freebie so it will work for now. I used good old fashion medical tape.

Just trial and error at this point

I plan on doing a lot of 1:25 scale 1920's-1970's. BIG Mopar fanatic but hoping to do a few detailed rat rods. Thanks for the advise. I'm working on a 1967 dodge coronet now. Doing drifit now modding the hood for a scoop. Lots of experimenting for awhile I guess.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and haven't built a model in over 15 years. I've actually never built a truly detailed model and can't decide if I'm looking forward to it or dreading it. Ha! I'm learning a lot just by cruising the different posts on here. Thanks for any info, tips, and help I may receive from this forum in the future.
