Working on plumbing lines right now. Trying to find pics of a 1:1 chassis or brake set up has been a challenge. Might have to stop by a dealership and take a few pics. Got the body painted, really happy with how it turned out. Shouldn't need much polishing at all. Have to detail paint first though, then add clear. More pics soon.

Have to say, it doesn't surprise me. Even though Cadillac are finally making some excellent cars now, people just aren't buying them. yet they can't keep Escalades in stock. The new ATS is a fantastic car, very worthy of being a BMW 3-series competitor. I've leased a fw of these and have spent time with them, and they're great. The CTS has been great for years, and the current gen, now that it's been "embiggened" to compete with the BMW 5-series, is even better than before. We have a few in our rental fleet, and I love driving these! But people just don't buy them. For every Cadillac car we move, we do a dozen Audis. Mention Cadillac to most people, and you get this look of confusion like you've grown a second head. Yet the Escalade has waiting lists and dealers get full price for them all day long. The new SRX replacement arrives soon, and it's already got a waiting list. The sad reality is that trucks and SUVs rule, and the cars get pushed aside.From a business point of view, I get it. But as a driver? Just bring this back...

Looks good!

VERY nicely done! Really like all of the extra details you've added.

I'll be the odd one out here. The digital dashes are a huge improvement over the traditional gauges. Everything is much easier to read at a glance, and the digital readouts are programmable, meaning that the driver can choose which information he wants to be prominent and which info can be off to the sides. The various displays are indeed colour coded so that it can turn red when there's a problem. Shift pints, redline warnings, systems warnings, all easy to see, and the warnings are very visible. Personally i'd love to grab a similar setup to put in my next project car.

Just had this delivered yesterday. 2016 SRT Challenger Scat Pack in Plum Crazy. Forged wheels, sunroof, nav, tech group, appearance group, premium sound, appearance group. Had to go with the 8-speed because wifey can't drive a manual. So much fun. Taking it out to an autocross day in a couple of weeks In hindsight, I should have skipped the sunroof as my 6'6" frame is a little tight for headroom. Still, head's not rubbing so all is good.

I like this one. You guys and your scratching building skills...most impressive.

I was unsure of that colour at first, but this turned out really well.

Daddyfink is a safe bet. His trade just arrived, and everything was packed safely and was exactly as described. Would trade again. Thanks!

Very nice! That red is such a vivid colour.

This is looking great!

I like it!

Interesting. I'm going to have to look for these. Especially the Ram truck you have there!

Plus 20 degrees Celcius here today! So finally got out into the garage to lay some paint on the body. Had a good look at the Moebius 53ft Reefer trailer that will be hooked up to this. Not sure how I'm going to open the back doors. Has anyone tried this on a kit? Any thoughts?

Nicely done! I like seeing these kits that are a little out of the norm.

I'm in the same boat. I'e picked up a few kits that I build many, many years ago. Want to build them again, now that I know what i'm doing. Acura is looking good!

Love what you're doing here. Colour choices are perfect, and that exhaust weathering is excellent.

Excellent build! I'm always impressed with how smooth you guys get your paint finishes.

Major update! Engine is complete and mounted in the chassis. Now I'll be starting the detailing of the engine and chassis. Hosing, wiring looms, brake lines, etc.

I built the street version and the race version many, many years ago. Love what you did to this race wagon.

Awesome!

Looks fantastic!

Harem Scarem!! Their tune No Justice is still awesome.

Not much to show right now. Did some more work last night. Painting all of those tiny pieces, getting another small step closer to finishing the engine. I'm almost done with the engine and chassis, then I can start trying my hand at weathering it slightly. I'm not going for an old truck vibe, I want it to stay looking like a "new" truck.

Actually, After I ordered, I got a refund of a few bucks because shipping worked out to less! Items are already en route to me.
