  1. Your welcome Bill, hope it works out for you.
  2. Some great build'n here!
  3. Here is where I made the cuts. The tank glued right back in place with little sanding and I change the engine mount angle to gain clearance. I also left the floor pan in place but now it is more of a belly pan. Thanks for looking and commenting! And this is the what I'm working on. Trying to put the Catalina interior in the 32 is alot like trying to put 10 lbs. of sugar in a 5 lbs. bag.
  4. A few pix of the Pontiac engine, louvered trunk and a possible grill... And the roof cuts....
  5. Bill, are you referring to the body? Thanks Richard, I'm putting a parts box blown Pontiac engine together right now.
  6. KITBASHING is defiantly more than a few parts added to a kit from another. Usually I would call that PARTS BOX building. For me KITBASHING is combining components from two or more kits to create something uniquely custom. Or something unavailable from a manufacturer. But you can call it what ever you like, just build it!
  7. Thanks for the comments guys. Joshua, those are in the new Revell R@t Roadster kit. Very nicely done and many other cool parts as well.
  8. This will be an exercise in styrene imagineering. While waiting for some pieces to finish the Surf Rod I mocked this up and decided it would be pretty cool. The first thing I did was to flip the gas tank, I add a filler still. Instead of flipping the bags and shock mounts. I cut the center section free and flipped it, leaving the mounts intact and a stronger mount. The front axle is from a 33 Willy's kit, flipped of course. The body is a Revell 5-window chopped 3 1/2" (scale). I also cut up the Wild Bill's decal to fit much better. The engine is only for mock up. Thanks for the interest...
  9. Like so many things today, it looks non-American!
  10. Thanks Chris, I will not rush this one at all.
  11. Thanks for the interest and comments. I'll still keep this on the Back Burner for now, but I am enjoying the build.
  12. WOW! Very impressive Mr. Davis.
  13. It is a 70 Cuda I need, so I wait......................................
  14. Interesting!
  15. That was fast! THX, this is the subject!
  16. Planning a future build for my son. I would like to build 1/25 scale, this seems to be the only one. The JO-HAN Boss'Cuda kit. What year Cuda is it?
  17. Interesting, good work on the interior. The last pic almost looks like a VW conversion.

    69 Talledega

    Looks pretty good to me. I'm liken that blue.
  19. Worked on the 62 a little this weekend. Filling the door panel and openings in. Got the rear suspension together and just about have the front axle figured out, the shocks could be a challenge. Mocked up the 409 with a Garlit's dragster blower, modified manifold and the kit carbs. Thank you for watching along....
  20. ​Nice idea and execution, looks great!
  21. ​I've gone about as far as I can for now. The damaged decals are a little bit more than I thought at first, but I believe they can be saved, with a bit'of help. Will be cleaning up and clear coating soon. I have one more trick to attempt.Any way here are a few teaser pix... Thanks for looking!
