Cool, i like the hot rod stance on it

I'd look on oe of the chevy truck forums. There will be someone that ahs the duplicolour code, or you might get it from the cuplicolour website, i would expect them to have some way to get the right colour on it

my sister cat got out on its own for the first time this morning. He got his first kill too, i've never seen a cat look so pleased with itself for catching a worm

Very cool, it looks very slick with the trim removed

man, i bet you wish you'd bought it now, these are very strong money now in almost any condition

Its from bestmodelcarparts on ebay mate, it wasn't listed when i ordered it but they were happy to list one for me, well two cos someone beat me to it when they listed the first one

wow!

Thats a cool car, I've been trying to think how i want to build my one and I'll definately take inspiration from yours

I got most of the body parts in primer this morning. I had to use white primer as I'm going to use the same blue pearl I used on the 68 charger a couple of years ago. I'll be doing the sides in pearl white first. I've also decided to use the stock wheels from the tamiya kit so i can use the chrome hubcaps and one of the pe wheel trim sets. This also means i can save the smoothies from the heb kit for another bug or bus. To make the pe parts pop i did the wheels in dark blue as it wouldn't show up so well with the body colours. The convertible top will be black though i did consider doing it tan to match the interior. There isn't a back seat in a heb, instead it has a luggage area so I am going to cover it with a bit of wood which I'll add some chrome strips to similar to what the stock interior has. I've got a few pe parts to fit to the interior but they'll have to wait until the interior is painted. Since the luggage area was going to be empty I made a suitcase to sit in it. I've covered it with superglue to hopefully give it a slightly battered/aged look

If your using paperclips sand them a little before you glue them, some off them dont seem to stay stuck if you dont

If your going to be customising everything, hasegawa have 4 full size curbsides, a caddy, buick, chevy and thunderbird. the bodies are nice but the interiors are very generic with the entire dash being a decal. The chassis is pretty much a flat sheet too

they seem to be working now, but for the first hour it was an error every time

Want to talk about rare vw kits? I really liked the amt scirocco kit but it looked really small copared to my other kits. Then this popped up on the auction site. I'll be mixing it with a revell mk1 and trying to make it into something closer to a stock body using the revell body that will be leftover from a c1 trans kit. I also got this 64 caddy built up/promo that will be getting an ls engine and big rims,

Very nice, it looks good in white

Very cool

Is anybody else unable to get onto any proboards forums today?

Looking good Kurt. Just an idea since your doing a ramp at the side door, but how about making hand controls for the driver and a pivoting seat so a wheelchair user can drive it? of course you'd need to do hand controls too but having seen your scratch work I have no doubt you could do it, and its something i dont think i've ever seen in a model

i think thats photoshopped, they only came in 14" originally, and they did a short run of them in 17" a few years ago

Nicely done,

I hope nobody is offended by this one

looking forward to it, the fix sounds good

if you have a set of micro drills, one size will be the same as paperclips and they are much cheaper than styrene

I know i've got a pic of a set painted to look like cookies, but i cant find it to post (but since i have nearly 50,000 vw golf pics thats no surprise)

no offence taken, but here you go

Theres a curbside kit out there by mitsuawa, but i wouldn't reccomend it. the interior panels are too short for the kit, and nothing really fits very well. I had to do a lot of sanding on the body to get it to look more like a golf
