  1. Nice job! My first car was a '72 Sedan DeVille, I've always wanted to build a replica of it.
  2. Wow, that came out great, good job!
  3. Thanks, I was wondering if anyone would notice it.
  4. I built this using the Revell gasser kit. I cut the side windows out and lowered the suspension. I used taillights from a '53 Belair and headlights from my parts box. The wheels and tires are from Pegesus. The ambulance decals, siren and stretcher are from a Johan kit and the bubblegum light is from a '57 wagon.
  5. Thanks. I just positioned the visor where I liked it, and glued it on. It is kinda narrow and does sit on the windshield molding.
  6. I used Pegesus wheels and a custom plate, everything else came out of the box. This is the original issue of the kit so the adhesive on the chrome had broken down so I wasn't able to use as much of it as I would have liked. This one completes the trifecta, I now have a '46 Aerosedan, a '47 Coupe and a '48 hearse made from a sedan delivery kit.
  7. That came out great. My first car was a '72 DeVille.
  8. I made this from am AMT promo. It has a 3d printed 1st gen Escalade front clip, wheels from Moluminum, tires from an Escalade EXT, and a resin rollpan from Trailer Trash Kustoms.
  9. I started this one a long time ago and I recently decided to pull it back out and finish it. It's a Jimmy Flintstone resin body with parts from the Revell Magnum kit and the AMT 300C kit. The wheels are from my parts box and the paint is Duplicolor, it's a VW color, but I can't remember the name.
  10. Yeah, I get that a lot.
  11. Thanks. The paint is Duplicolor (primer, paint & clear) it's a factory Honda color called Bordeaux Red.
  12. This is the Revell '57 convertible kit. I had some old school Pegesus lowrider wheels in my parts box i wanted to use on this, so I put them on and lowered the suspension to complete the look, everything else came out of the box.
  13. Here's an article that talks about Eddie's truck, the refurbishment, and a little about the second truck. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hemmings.com/stories/2010/02/02/van-halen-hauler-sightings/amp
  14. Nice job!
  15. I got it from J&J resins on Facebook.
  16. I started with the '51 Chevy Sun Cruiser kit. I bought a resin conversion kit to turn it into a '52 that had the bumpers and grill. The resin rear bumper was a short shot and the grill was terrible so I cut the center bar out of the resin grill and put it in the kit grill. I used a resin continental kit, I added a little plastic to the spare so it would sit a little higher and I used the resin front bumper on the rear, I also added some tubing to extend the exhaust. I also made new side trim. I lowers the suspension with the kit drop spindles and de-arched the leaf springs to get the rear down and used some custom wheels and tires out of my parts box. And no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get the inner fenders to fit, so I left them out.
  17. Would love to have some of the old Johan Caddys re-released.
  18. That came out really nice!
  19. 33 Final assembly went great so I'm calling this one done.
  20. 33 After 3 paint jobs I decided that it didn't need to be perfect. After I decided it didn't need to be perfect it seemed to progress a lot faster. I got the front end together with the TONY-P plaque on the front. I also modified the top of the grill so I could install the hood ornament like the 1:1. I also got the rear end and continental kit together. The only rear shot of the Caddy is too far away to make out the rear plate, so I knew I was going to have to make one to follow the rules. Mystery Men takes place in a fictional city, but I felt like it had a Detroit feel so I made some Michigan plates in black with white letters to match the front plaque. More next time.
  21. I used the deck from an AMT trailer and wheels from a Revell kit, everything else is scratch built.
  22. Nice! I built a candy blue slab a few years back, it was a lot of fun. I'll be watching this one.
  23. Great job, I love Cadillacs.
