Looking good!

Very nice. Love the extra details!

The Texas 3d Customs 250 straight 6 is a masterpiece. Their products are super detailed and fit together well. Check out the size of the belt! Here I have weathered the engine with black, gray and rust washes. Nearing final assembly!

One of my Holy Grail builds! Nice work on the chassis. The molded in exhaust was what has prevented me from getting any momentum on this one. I like how you fixed it. Are you going to add a post behind the door?

Nice work. And one of a kind!
-
Takes some getting used to, but I like it. Nice job making lemonade from lemons!
-
Beautiful. That is a true masterpiece!

I built this Nomad as part of a group build and to practice lettering. It's the tow vehicle used by DD Speed shop on his YouTube channel. He specializes in tri-fives. Check out the channel if you have a minute. His 1:1 car is actually a 55, but this 56 was all I had to work with!

I scraped and carved away the SS emblem from the grille and replaced it with a 3d printed Chevelle badge.

Nice. Very clean so far. It's going to be a good one.

Source for 1970s Mopar Mirrors?
Steamboat replied to spencer1984's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
After some careful research, it seems like the same mirror was used on most Mopar models from 1964 to 1970ish, except for E-bodies. This one would only have been adjusted from the outside, and was rarely installed on the passenger side. I made a passenger side anyways since it was easy to do after having already made a driver side. The cable controlled mirror was slightly different. I'll work on that one next. Here are the first ones off the printer. Anyone interested can PM me and I'll make up some sets. Steamboat -
Black wash for grille?
Steamboat replied to Steamboat's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
How do you remove excess from the shiny areas? -
Sweet. That one's on my list as well. I had a 4dr hardtop back in the day. The 66's were high compression. I eventually sold it because it wouldn't run on unleaded fuel.

Here's the interior nearing completion. After reworking the roof, the rear package shelf was too short. I suppose that in the 1:1 car, the rear seat may have been further rearward, but in this case, it was easier just to make a filler piece from sheet styrene. The door trim has been rescribed for the 4 door version. Not sure if the color scheme is 100% correct, but it works! Removed the Millennial anti-theft Device and scratched an automatic transmission brake pedal!

Very nice. The green looks great on it!

It was the "look". I had a Challenger like that. I couldn't drive it unless the air shocks were pumped up because the tires would rub.

I almost painted this one banana yellow, but the dark side took over!
-
Nice. The paint jobs are both excellent. Love those colors.
