Dang Jim , looking good there i am impressed but you will still be seeing daytona taillights will have some pics soon had some problems sanding panel lines and not being able to find a new body i went and cut the door out . and didnt have anything to replace it . till i got a stashed promodeler 69 first issue Cut that door out and it fit except for the vent window. so i am back to my conundrum. Later Guys MIchael

Man what a difference some creative work can do . i never liked this car but i really can't wait to see where this one goes .Awesome taillights and a roof so long it should be a surf board for the whole band. Also digging the Halibrands... Great work so far Michael

This one is sweet looking always wanted an old Torino/ Ranchero. Being a chevy guy have had 2 Elky's instead. on my second one now been sitting in the garage for a few years now. needs an engine and put back together. Can't wait to see this done . might have to get one of these on my list of to do kits. Michael

I agree with Rob, OY Vey lol just kidding to be immortalized in such a way would be an honor . just wish my budget and painting skills were up to snuff Michael -
Yeah i have ppe , use a small fan to evacuate out side the fumes and a 3m half mask, of the disposable variety. At work we have to use it but we also have a fan right there so i can getaway with the charcoal mask . been a paint mixer for 20 yrs and every year the company has monthly courses for a whole range of things. And as far as health i know the dangers spray some zinc chromate primer and i egt a cough As for those wheels i haven't seen torque thrusts in any pics from old mags (hotrod deluxe).but if the officials say it is cool then yee-haw .But i have some old halibrands also Michael

Have been working on other projects, and one for the gumball cbp. having trouble with a pass door for my daytona. the poncho will be done maybe with a M/T 4cyl with blower from Attempt one. . Oh the fumes from the paint at work are messing me up lmao. Ok i will have some updates soon. Michael

hvymtl replied to sjordan2's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
He has some awesome work , i have a hardbound book from my old elementary school about modeling (aquired legally ) that has a bunch of stuff from the 60's and he is mentioned in one of the chapters on scratchbuilding Michael -
Very nice clean build . It has the right stance also very cool Michael

Very nice looking love the colour Michael

Awesome looking !!! Always wanted a 1:1 in those colours. now i just have an 88 LS. but you really did the kit justice with the shock detail and everything else Very Nice Michael
-
Areodynamics .... we got that and don't worry i will bring the horsies too . As for handling i saw on Top Gear usa that Rutledge nearly wiped a 'vair out bigtime .... lol and i too enjoy this trash talking. Hmmmm ol' Batsy has that jet engine laying in the repair shop...... Or maybe rob someone else for ..oh well for now a stroker Hemi and maybe a turbo or something. Better yet stuff a big block chevy in her and a vair motor in the trunk Michael
-
Wow that lil Rambler looks serious , And Jim that 'vair looks really tough and might actually keep up LOL, j/k But mine will roll to the line at the redball garage . have sanded some detail out in the pass. door and now have to find a way restore the lines or a new body. Nick really like the wheels and the interior both look good . talk to y'all later Michael
-
I take it that the 1:1 was visible from the inside ? Would make for some challenging driving, But very nice none the less MIchael

Awesome looking build ! love the late model SS wheels . the heater hose is wrong that spot would have a oil fill tube or a freeze plug to block it off . the heater hose would run right next to the rad hose near the pass side valve cover. I don't like to pic nits but just trying to make sure the info is right . And looking at the pics it looks really good anyways. I really like the first pic in bare plasticand it sitting low that was good also
