That is a list of very cool cars Tom, are there kits for them?? I had been on a retro kick of late with slight influence from Ralph Lauren's collection of icons So just got an Airfix Bentley 1/12 Now I am after a Ford GT40 in lager scale....want to make it in the Gulf livery. Maybe the Trumpeter kit .....and I need an extra day added to the week just for modelling with no disturbances

I have enough kits in my stash to last another lifetime, but still I want MORE! What is on your list to get this year??

As the kids get older you think they will need you less and give you more spare time....right? Nope. Mine like to hang out and even do projects with me, help with school, go skiing they are my buds You gotta savour those moments, I will do my models when I am an old dead fart

Right up my alley Beautiful engine so far and fantastic engine stand scratch build Have not heard of these kits before, thanks for posting

Boy that silver with white walls looks fantastic Once agin Skip is the man with the knowledge All are amazing pictures really, such gorgeous lines

Keep at her bud, looks good so far, need more of these beautiful classics You may get it moved over, but not many know about big boys section The mods can do that if they like, just keep posting!! Scott

I like it a lot, been looking for a kit of the gen before Had an '89 Civic Si for 11 years; it got me through my university days and almost up to the birth of first child Loved that car, must have moved a dozen times in it Will follow along on your build

You are back with a vengeance !

Engine is cemented in as is the exhaust system Need to touch up paint a bit before body goes on. The rack comes in handy Away skiing so no more building for a week

Not yellow Beautiful car though, loving this era of vehicles at the moment

Postie just dropped mine of this afternoon....big honking box, glad I got the free shipping! Good luck with your build, I will follow along

Need an empty room to just unpack the box !

Those webber carbs are beautiful

Like them all, the Bandit Trans Am is spectacular

Good stuff and hilarious Enjoyed them immensely

Sorry to hear about the damage

And now for something completely different....The Interior I decided to try covering the seats with real leather and some fabric for carpet Pile of leather scraps from Tandy Leather I think All of it is way too thick so I have skived off the back with a razor tool The 'carpet' is an Ultrasuede material, wish it was a shade or two darker for some contrast Everything was cemented with contact cement Looks a little rough around the edges, but those edges will never be seen. The shifter and e brake have a leather boot added to their base I burnished the lines into the seats with a small wood dowel before the cement was set I will add thread as piping around the edges. The spool is Havana Brown Tiger thread, one of the best in the world for hand stitching leather I was going to make some darker floor mats, but in test fitting I couldn't see the floor so as a wise man says, why waste time on things you won't ever see Feel like I actually made a bit of progress today while stalling on the engine compartment and paint

Beautiful car, great build

It is this one And thanks for the kind offer!

Will follow along, looking good so far

I mounted the carbs and made a throttle linkage, some electrical bits also Don't like the chalky,sloppy look of the chrome paint on the carbs....Maybe the paint reacted to the aluminum? Thinking of going to the office and sandblasting them back to bare metal I need to get the paint on the body, but is so humid and wet out here Might have to spray in the basement So much babble, so little progress

Bought the 1/12 Airfix kit today off of Amazon Boxing Day sale Will use your build as a reference You are doing a great job!

I am getting the popcorn! Take lots of pics of her coming out of the box as well as the build Congrats on the kit!

Great builds, great speed and great taste in autos

Great mods to a cool car
