Beautiful work on this, looks fantastic!

Looks Awesome!

Beautiful model! Your detail work is awesome!

Thanks for the comments guys! This had its issues but overall I had a really good time building it!

Thanks for all the comments guys! I have been trying to improve my building and painting skills and have really been enjoying building!

Model car world, I think for the most part they just do paints but I could be wrong!

Yep you are right! Missed that and I built it!,,???

It went on nice, the color was called a Milano maroon metallic, the metallic was very fine. As with most of my paint jobs the problem was me! I just didn’t get the hood even color with the rest of the car, this is cleared with 2 part automotive clear and I just thinned it with cheaper lacquer thinner. I also recently used one of their lacquers and I liked that a lot!

This is Revells 1941 Chevy pickup. A few months back I was vending at a local model show and as we were packing up there were a couple of ladies selling their dads collection, some nice stuff and good deals, bought quite a few things! Anyway they asked if I wanted this as it was damaged from packing up and the front axle was busted, the bed was off and a few parts missing, I said sure and thanked them! All I did was fix the axle glue a couple loose items and a little detail painting like the grille wash, the wood in the bed and a couple other minor things. Whoever built this did a great job as it has a fantastic paint job (a couple small scratch’s but that’s it). Have it on displayin my case!

This is the Mobius 64 Nova, this was a really nice kit that went together really well, any issues with this build were of my own doing! This was the first time I used MCW enamel paint, very nice paint but again the paint didn’t come out that well due to my own fault, the hood doesn’t quite match the body even though I painted them at the same time. Next time I will tape the hood from the inside and paint with it on the body. Anybody that has any tips for this please let me know! I used some Cragar wheels with the AMT parts pack gold line tires. These are nice but the tires didn’t fit with a “positive” location so I epoxied them in. Comments always welcome!

This is the Lindberg 1/16 scale Bull Horn T bucket that I finished up awhile back. This wasn’t a bad kit but was a little fiddly at times like assembling the frame and getting the suspension to sit somewhat level and square! Comments always welcome and thanks for looking!

Your mods look great, that front end look perfect!

Finished another excellent trade with Bigtruck, Thanks Ken, will trade anytime!!

Thanks guys, glad you like it and are still looking at it!

OK Thanks!

I think AMT did a kit as I have a built up. What are you thinking for a trade?

So it looks like this is the 65, has the fuel injected emblems and the wheels are the same as Toms coupe! Thanks for all the info guys! Here are a couple pic after I’ve been working on stripping the very heavy green paint that was on it, I almost have it all off!

That is a nice looking promo! That does look like the color of mine, that has the same wheels also. When I get home I’m going to see if it had the girlie badges so I have a correct year and start looking for parts!

Awesome! Thanks guys! I really appreciate all the help!

Thanks guys! It is definitely not a 63 or 64 as the side vents are 3 vertical indentations. The 65 and 66 both have this and I didn't know if there were any other ways to tell them apart. Mark I will check for the fuel injection emblems on the fenders. Also I think pretty much I could use any bumpers but would need a specific grille and does anyone know if the interiors have a lot of differences? I want to "restore" this as the body is in really good shape but I don't think I will find original parts to easy!

Hey guys at a model show this past weekend I picked up a 65 or 66 Corvette roadster that I thought was a built kit, it was heavily painted in metallic green, the chassis was red. It had no glass or interior. As it was $3 I grabbed it! So when I got it home I noticed it had a promo chassis. I took the body off and dunked it in stripper. I originally thought the hood was glued shut but it was molded in and the body is molded in red also. This did not have any bumpers or grille either. So I’m guessing this is a promo but I wanted to see if any one new what year this is, I looked a little online but all I found was a black 65 promo. I would post pics but it’s still in the stripper, Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Looks pretty darn good to me! Nice job!

Just completed a couple trades with Michelle and Vettegasser, both were perfect, thanks!

That's really cool! Love the details!

Thank you guys! Great info Mark! I will definitely check out your suggestions! Alan thanks for the link, I usually hit ebay for the parts guys when looking to complete and original factory stock car but never thought about doing it for a funny car chassis! For that price I went ahead and got it, looks like a lot of the same parts adn that's a pretty good deal!
