  1. This is what I was ultimately thinking as well. And you might be right it may not be 6 scale inches but it's gotta be close. Look at the door handle(Which also might not be scale correct) comparative to the extra plastic.
  2. I know your right about the trim. This is just a touch too far forward. I'll post a comparo pic. By the way that looks great!!!! I love the way you'e displayed this.
  3. This is definitely a priceless tip. Great trick of the trade to have up your sleeve. Thank you for sharing this!!!
  4. I looked @ a bunch of pics of 1:1 cars as I usually do. Lots and lots of pics saved and filed for each specific model. The tub is just a touch too short . It's spot on in the front of the door jamb but the back is just a tad too short. If I slide the tub back it'l work but then the rear deck behind the seats is a little off. Not really enough to notice. However... it'll be noticeble up front. I think I need to cut the floor and extend it just a bit.
  5. This is the first open door project I'm trying. I figured wth? Why not. I know how you feel when you say "I know I couldn't do it!" I used to say that myself. Before I joined this site I used to wonder the forums for hours in admiration of what can be done. The older I get the more I realize it's not about completing them anymore. It' about building the car I would buy. You'l get better and better. It' funny to me to dig in the idea bin/parts bin and find things I used to think looked so awesome and think about where I am now vs where I will be. A lot because of this site and because of the great advice of other such as has been posted so far on just this page alone. Keep at it and you'l surprise yourself. I do every night I build.
  6. Well.... it appears the window vent might not be the worst nightmare. However.... this interior tub might be.... pretty sure this tub is about 6 scale inches too short in the door panels.
  7. Thanks Steve! I'm excited to try it out. I really want to cut the trunk open too but it's pretty thick in that rear panel.
  8. Thanks Marty! We'll see how it turns out. I keep trying to do one more technicality with every new model I'm building.... problem is.... I keep starting some ideas and shelving them. But progress is progress and I have plenty of time.
  9. Lol I am aware of the vent window. The 68 also didn' have a marker light in the front and had rectangle parking lights in the grill... I have a 68.... correction.... two 68's and a 69... but I have parts for a 67. So since I have a 68 on my shelf, and a 69 on it's way there.... why not go idea bin digging and start kit bashing and testing things out on a car that realistically doesn't matter to me if it gets messed up... if it doesnt work out with the vent window I'll just throw the other 68 grill in it and leave the marker light on the front fender and keep it a 68. I also have a 70 1/2 camaro that I'll be building when I pick up the pe kit for it. Amongst other goodies.
  10. First time I've done this. I'm thinking pro mod build.... it's originally a 68 z28 but I'll be making it a 67.
  11. Thanks! I did a lot to the lightning. It doesn't quite show on the surface. But There's a few little jems on it tho. It's the truck that got me back into the hobby. The vts didn't get quite the color I was going for but I like it.
  12. This will be the third time I've done the truck. My original was bad. Real bad. The second one I bought on evilbay for cheap. As you can see the second one came out much better. I only have 3 trucks in my collection. Two f150's and the vts. I want to build this one the way I would've built my 98 1:1. I now have an 04 and would be tickled pink if they made a kit for it.
  13. Got a ram for Christmas. This one. This one will be lifted.... cooking up some ideas while I'm giving the fairlady a facelift. I'm thinking of something of this direction.
  14. Great collection! I like your variety of generations and body styles.
  15. Very cool!
  16. May I ask where you got that srt10 ram?
  17. I sincerely don' know how you guys do it! I'd never be able to keep that many unbuilts!!!! I feel like all these stashed are sensory overload!
  18. Primed up the front, just to see where im at. Also i didnt realize how blurry these were. My phone was dying. As usual.....
  19. That would be awesome!
  20. Lol that would be me also! These collections are far greater than i couldve ever imagined! Im still blown away by how many unbuilt kits there are!!!! I could only dream?
  21. Well that's great news!!!!
  22. Wow e wee wow!!!!!!! Omg I don' even know what I'd do with myself in this room. Where to begin! How to look at everything!!!! ???????
  23. I have to agree. I thought this whole time that I had to step up my beautiful works of art..... but I'm thinking now that the total of my collection is lacking in some areas! But that's okay because everyone here has given me the proof to show my girlfriend that my collection is not as big as she somehow thinks it is!!! So let the collection grow!!!! Her facial expressions are priceless!!!!
