  1. Wow! Really nice build. Very clean. You should be proud of this one!
  2. That is a really nice build!!! Thanks for showing it off
  3. When you first showed how you were going to modify the hood/grill, my first thought was "where are you going with this?" But after seeing it, I like it. As for the running boards, Im not sure but I like that your going in a different direction with this. Build this as you see it. I am anxious to see how this turns out
  4. Nice build on a car you dont see customized a lot. I like it. Some details of the build would be great
  5. Ive always been a big fan of the 60's Chevys. You have built a fine example of one. Very Nice!
  6. Cameron- I tried the sanding sticks and got some good results. The problem Im having is getting next to scrips or places next to areas with raised edges. There is a strip that goes across the rear of the car, and it has the Olds script on it., or the steering wheel has raised area for the horn. Its next to these places I cant get to and Im afraid to be to aggressive for fear of taking away the detail. Greg-At my age, I use a lighted magnifier all the time Thanks for the help guys
  7. Thanks Greg and Steve for the good ideas on keeping parts from getting lost. I did drop 1 part but was able to find it. Best not to try my luck with that to much Using a Molotow pen is a good idea. Im going to try that. Thanks Chris Cameron - I will have to look at how the parts are layed out. Thanks for the pointer, it gives me a way to start
  8. I am in the process of building the Lindberg 67 Olds 442. Im trying out my first PE set, from Model Car Garage. In the PE set are the 3 spokes for the steering wheel center. Do I cut away the rim and use the PE set or does it go over the stock part? Also, any suggestions on how to polish/buff the parts would be appreciated. Actually, any tips any one has on using PE would be appreciated. Thanks
  9. The Shuey and the Magnum wheels are now both available. Just ordered a set of the Shuey's
  10. I have one of those folding one, I got from E Bay. I got the accessories with it. I have used mine for well over a year and Im very happy with it. I duct taped all the edges and that stiffened it up a lot. (I dont move mine at all). I tape paper inside to keep everything clean. I clean out the filters and change the paper every time I paint a body or it starts to have dried paint floating around. Highly recommended
  11. Wow, that is nice. That blue really works
  12. Your builds are not the type seen on here very often but all 3 of your builds capture the what the Far East is into these days. Personally, I like the style Good job on 3 of the cars you posted
  13. Thats a different paint job. I really like it. Nice job!
  14. Wow! Very nice. Really clean build. Congrats on a fine job
  15. Yea, what mike said!! Very impressive. Nice job
  16. When I turned 16 and was ready to get my permit, my father had a Rambler with 3 on the tree. So that is what I learned on. And I couldn't go for my permit test until I could back up and parallel park. My father always said "if you can drive an standard, you can drive an automatic. But if you drive an automatic, it doesn't mean you can drive a standard" Ive only owned 1 auto trans car. Out of courtesy to my , then wife. That car didn't last long (neither did she, really ) They will have to pry my cold, dead feet off the clutch...
  17. The AMT 70 1/2 Baldwin Motion Camaro has some M/T's, in the back that are pretty nice. But they only the rear tires. I have a set of the M/T's from Fireball and they are really nice. But again, he only has 1 size
  18. If your building them, they WILL look cool.
  19. I got rid of about 1/16" off some 3/32 Evergreen tube, some flash off a '37 Chevy Stovebolt, a bit of glue and some stress. And Im good with that.
  20. Really nice job! The White/red color combo is not seen very often and that makes it stand out. Nice clean build
  21. Excellent build. I really like the patina! Its good to see cars that are well "used"
  22. Thanks Tim. Great tutorial. I have a few of these cars in my stash, so I'll be coming back to this Thanks again
  23. Very impressive work. Congratulations on a great build
  24. I like it a lot. Im a big fan of stock appearing cars with modern updates under the skin
