  1. This looks much better than the previous pictures, I missed the reshaping of the B pillars but was pleased to see the new version. Well done.
  2. Temperatures here have been brutally cold so painting in the garage is not an option. I did get everything primed and put a basic interior together. Once it’s installed you really can’t see much detail anyway. Also did a test shot of a faded look using clear red/blue over light and dark base metallic. I have a clear Orange I might try as well.
  3. Plastic Performance Products Big Donkey Resin - HRW
  4. Would this be a correct engine color for this build? It seems there are several different colors I find on-line, just like the internet the more ya look the worse it gets!
  5. Historically correct modeling is very rewarding, I did two of the Grand Sport Corvettes years ago. Your looks great, I like how you accomplished the tape, the foil work is well done and the scratch made taillights and fin are outstanding. In the last picture there is a comment at the lower left stating "the snow-tired car" I'd love to see that pic. Could you share the title of this book?
  6. The internet Suck, YouTube isn't any different than some of the long-winded discussions here on this forum!
  7. Well done, clean and nicely finished. I like it!
  8. I have had this one JSJ Detail body so long I can’t remember how I got it. It has a few issues, thick in some areas that won’t allow the interior tub to fit. A thin spot on the roof, a lot of flash that I started to remove and a slight twist in the trunk area. I won’t be using this one on a build, Since Drag City has such beautiful parts but, I found this post and thought I’d share the history for just an interesting topic
  9. Customs - Hollingsworth Nomad sold at B-J ? | The H.A.M.B.
  10. Moving forward, I mean to the rear in uncharted waters here, mock up….
  11. Things have come together pretty well with the exhaust. Got the head pipe made and installed. More to follow…. PS The stacks are 3/16” Evergreen tube.
  12. Nicely done, it definitely has that Outlaw look!
  13. Nice looking rig very well finished. What did you use for the antennas?
  14. A little more frame cover and exhaust work. Made up a better support with braces and then removed the kit chrome and upper pipe from the mufflers. I used some styrene tubing, slash cut at 60deg. I may have to make my own header pipe but that's ok with me. I also added a recess for the airline connections. Thoughts?
  15. New Year day one tinkering and problem solving. Funny how the instructions are almost useless. But since I’m customizing it doesn’t matter. I’m just having fun….
  16. This looks very nice, clean build and shiny smooth paint. And a Gasser!
  17. Looking good. What kind of paint did you use for the interior? That is the flattest paint I've seen...
  18. I love the Jag, and that looks like a good spot to build a model. WAIT! you went to a relative's home in Virginia to hide in the basement for the holidays?
  19. Not much of an update, I'm still waiting on my final tire choice. I hope to get some from Mo’Luminum today. being the first semi build the learning curve is quite steep. I’ve had to do and redo things several times. The chassis, wheels and suspension seem finicky. But probably because I can’t build anything stock! The single hump fenders from Blacksheep are nice, the clean up was simple but the filling and smoothing has been time consuming. I like the grill and fitment. I also purchased the side steps along with the custom wheels. They did come with all brake drums and caps. The resin is very nice but brittle. I broke a wheel mounting a tire. Easily repaired and lessons learned. Differently not in a rush to finish this build. Anyway off to the local hobby shop (40mile) for supplies.
  20. Merry Christmas....
  21. One of my favorite Camaros. And my favorite GM color, IDEK why.....
