  1. I built this from the Revell kit as a replica of the '62 Impala from the movie Set It Off with Queen Latifa. I lowered the suspension used Pegesus tires with eBay wheels that I narrowed. The paint is Duplicolor and I made the plates. The movie car doesn't have the bar on the fron bumper and I think I'm off on the paint color a little, but other than that I'm pretty happy with it.
  2. Nice job!
  3. Wow, you really jumped in with both feet. Looks really good so far.
  4. I rebuilt a Road Block a few months ago.
  5. I built this from the tuner version of the Revell kit. I left the rear seat out and the bumpers off. I used custom wheels and tires from my parts box. I chose to paint it yellow with black interior because my grandparents had 2 with that color combo when I was a kid. This was a great kit that went together easily and lent itself well to customizing.
  6. Just a heads up, they're not centered on the 1:1 wheels.
  7. I'm a little surprised the custom wheels aren't plated, but I guess if you're going to paint them anyway, it doesn't matter.
  8. Nice job! That's a fun kit, I've built several different versions over the years.
  9. In ' 72 they moveed the turn signals from the bumper to in between the headlights. I think that was the only noticeable change.
  10. Nice job! My first car was a '72 Sedan DeVille, I've always wanted to build a replica of it.
  11. Wow, that came out great, good job!
  12. Thanks, I was wondering if anyone would notice it.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. That came out great. My first car was a '72 DeVille.
  17. 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.
  18. 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.
  19. Yeah, I get that a lot.
  20. Thanks. The paint is Duplicolor (primer, paint & clear) it's a factory Honda color called Bordeaux Red.
  21. 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.
  22. 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
  23. Nice job!
