  1. After hearing a lot of complaints on a Facebook page about this kit I had to go get one and check it out. This was what I consider a quick build for me. Took a few weeks of an hour or so every few days. It is by no means perfect. It actually went together pretty good, there were a few issues but nothing that made me put it back in the box. My two biggest issues was the chassis not sitting straight when the interior was in. I shaved a little bit off the interior drive shaft hump, and a little off the top of the chassis plate in the same area. Also once the interior was in place the wheels weren't in the wheel wells correct. So therefore I shaved a little bit off of the rear of the interior tub and I shaved a little bit off the rear wheel wells so the chassis could move forward. Those were the biggest issues I had. The car is finished with Rust-Oleum gloss almond, no rubbing or buffing done. And the interior is Rust-Oleum nutmeg. I wanted this build to look somewhat like a sleeper so I had removed the rocker moldings, hood vents and decided no chrome around the door and quarter glass. I did add a few details to it and used a set of 1969 Chevelle wheels on it. (thank you to pulln4dejr for the trade) It needs a few post build touch-up but I am calling it done. I actually liked this kit and plan to get another.
  2. That is looking cool. Kind of a cross between race car and custom with the molded bumpers. FYI, the firewall is a Monogram NASCAR piece.
  3. Looking great and very tastefully done!!!!
  4. FYI..... The scoop is from a Cougar Eliminator (69-70) 71 Cougar GT or 71-76 Comet GT
  5. When it comes to the 67 Galaxie, Round 2 has a decent start already. The chassis from the 66 Galaxie kit is correct for a 67.
  6. Impressive!

  8. Pure 50's in that build. Very nice!
  9. Came out nice. One of my favorite kits!
  10. I am in for the Mustang and Charger for sure.
  11. Not much you can do considering it is 1/24 scale. Maybe modify the frame from the 1/24 scale 37 Ford? It is the same basic shape.
  12. Great custom. I am liking these curbside kits more and more. Nobody asked so I will..... how did you do the headlights? They look great!
  13. I really like this build. The painted bumpers look great!!!
  14. Very cool build!!!!
  15. Nice job!! Bet that BMF was fun!!!
  16. Nice job on it!!! Love the color combo
  17. Spectacular!!!
  18. I have one of these 32's. Old but still builds up nicely especially with a few mods. I guess it is the first uni-body deuce!
  19. Lindberg 40 Coupe and AMT Sedan, both still unfinished.
  20. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! I have the issue with street signs at night!!! I get it!
  21. So true, Those light look like high beams a lot, especially when they go over a hill or dip in the road. Even on low you get blinded.
