  1. This one has been done for a little over 2 months now. Just getting around the posting it. I still haven't gotten around to trying my hand at decals so this doesn't have any. I also forgot to put on the license plate. Hopefully a common amateur mistake. I could've detailed the tail lights too. An engine was not included and if the car looks lopsided it's because of the box it's sitting on
  2. The first model I had built was a 65 amt mustang. I built it at my girlfriends house so I decided to keep it there. That was sometime last summer. I picked that thing up the other day and immediately tore the entire thing down lol. I could not believe how crappy it was! Looking at that engine I couldn't believe I had put it together. I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was last summer and I credit a lot of that to these forums
  3. Thanks a lot! I'm starting the work on the chassis. I've already test fitted the suspension and the front painted along with the chassis. I'll post some pics when I get home from work
  4. Here is what I call a done engine at this point in time. I'll definitely be attempting a blown engine in the near future And I believe someone had asked about the rear tires and the tread. Here they are
  5. Where did you get the turbos?
  6. I haven't really checked out facebook as I'm not on it too often. I might have too. Instagram is just much easier for mobile users when it comes to posting pictures
  7. From what I can gather I'm on the bit of the young side coming in at 19. So I would imagine that I'm more active in social media than others on these forums. But I was just wondering how many of you guys use/know of Instagram? I think it would be a great way to get your work out to your friends and fans. If anyone actively uses Instagram for their models please leave me your name
  8. Sorry, there's the picture
  9. I am missing the top piece to the diff. Part 371
  10. So I've hit a wall, kind of. The rear diff. comes on 3 parts, the hub with the axles coming out and then 2 pieces that finish the hub. I have lost one of those pieces. Not sure if I should just continue with the build or try to make a new piece from scratch.
  11. Thank you very much
  12. I was thinking about picking up a Ross Gibson engine but I'm not sure what scale they are
  13. Looks really good so far. I've never seen one of these before. Keep up the good work
  14. You guys are right, it is a 426. As far as body color I have it painted a lime ice. I still have a few more coats to put on. I should hopefully be wrapping that up soon. I'm not sure on enterior though. I usually just flat black them but that's getting boring. I might bust out the masking tape and try to add some lime ice accents with a black enterior
  15. I'm pretty sure that came in a 37 ford coupe kit that I have. If not the same engine; same carb and air cleaner
  16. This is the first time I'll be posting a picture of my work. This is the start of a 427 I'm working on for a 1970 Super Bee. Still needs some touch up painting, gotta install the headers and the belt assembly. I have already ripped it down once because I wasn't happy with the way the intake was sitting. I know this isn't anywhere near "par" on here but I've already learned so much just from browsing the forums. No better way to get better than post some work and see what you all think. Any comments are welcome as I see any advice as helpful! I'll be posting up some more of this project soon
  17. Thanks very much for responses guys! I can finally move forward with this. Also thanks for letting me know where to post such questions.
  18. So I'm working on dirty Donny's super bee. I'm just a little confused because the kit comes with leaf springs but doesn't call for them in the directions. There aren't even any holes to glue them into. I don't think the rear old will hold up with what they tell you to do. I'm just wondering if anyone else has built this kit and had to add the leaf springs. If so I'm not even sure how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated
  19. Hey guys. Names Nick. I'm 19 and from RI. I've finished 3 or 4 models with a jeep rubicon that I'm most proud of so far. I've got probably 6 or 7 works in progress. I'm just here to pick up great tips and check out these sweet models!
