Hello everybody,
I'm wanting to build the Revell/Monogram Dodge Ram VTS into a pro street with a 440 or hemi. I was wondering if there are any good chassis to work with or if I should try to build my own. I've never built a chassis before, so I wouldn't know where to start. However, I do have some styrene strip I can use. I've seen some info on chassis building on the forum, but I'm still a bit confused. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

That's a nice looking Pontiac. Definitely something you don't see every day.

It looks like you have some amazing projects in line.

Very nice looking Hemi.

Right now I'm wondering what size tubing I would need for turbo plumbing. I also would like to know how to build an intercooler and turbo exhaust manifolds. I have a Dodge Ram VTS kit and would like to build a twin turbo 440 for it. I already have the turbos.

Hello everybody, I am still an amateur in the model building realm. Most of my builds are straight from the box with a little kit bashing occasionally. However I am wanting to become more advanced in my skills, especially for the types of builds I wish to complete. I was wondering what kinds of parts would be the easiest to learn to scratch build and the best types/sizes of styrene for these parts.

Thank you all for your input. I realized I have an engine from a Dodge van in my parts box I can use.

Hello everybody. I was wondering what would be a good source for a Dodge Magnum V8. I recently bought the Ram VTS kit, but I want to build it as a regular Ram 1500. I'm looking for a 318/360.

Hello everyone, I am wondering if there is a kit or conversion parts available for a 99-04 Mustang GT. I am thinking about buying one in 1:1 and thought it would be a good idea to build a model of how I would want the real one to be. I know they make the 99 SVT Cobra, but they are hard to find in my area, not to mention out of my price range. Also, the Cobra has the 4.6 DOHC instead of the SOHC.

As a kid growing up in the 90s and early 2000s, I fondly remember many nice model kits that I wish I had the opportunity to build. Now it seems the manufacturers keep bringing out the same kits over and over again. At least Round 2 seems to be bringing out some kits from my childhood or even before my time. My question is this: is there a website that shows model kits released by year. Also, is there a good site I can look at for kits that are no longer in production. I know I can look at eBay, but I run the risk of either not finding what I'm looking for, or the price being a little too rich for my price range. Thank you for any help, and sorry for such a long post.

Thank you everyone for your input. I have decided to postpone the build of this truck as I have other projects to complete.

Thank you everyone for your input. I have decided not to build the truck as all out as I originally planned. However, the build will receive a twin turbo Duramax from Trailer Trash Kustoms and a set of custom wheels I found on Ebay.

I found some parts on Scenes Unlimited, but unfortunately the website is still down.

Hello everybody. I recently purchased the Deserter 1984 GMC kit and I am wanting to build a lifted show truck like something you would see at SEMA or on the Youtube Channel for Custom Offsets, a company based in Wisconsin that builds custom lifted trucks. I remember seeing a website a while back that had wheels and other parts for these types of builds, but it was so long ago I don't remember what it was. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello everybody, I was wondering what would be a good project to start with in Autodesk Fusion 360 to get into the world of designing model car/truck parts. This has always been an interest to me. As a student in a machining program at my local Community college, I was able to download the student/educational version of Fusion 360. Any help is greatly appreciated.
