I think you are gonna be completely out luck for 99% of this. The cab looks like it might be from some old steam shovel or other construction machine. An engine might be possible, but the rest? Place a big order with Plastruct because you're gonna need it.

Photobucket will do this automatically if you are using it.

Nice work. It looks very authentic.

In no particular order. Blazing Saddles Man of Steel Galaxy Quest the Dark Knight McLintock (ah heck, pretty much any film with John Wayne) Down Periscope. 5th Element A Kingdom of Heaven (I'm a huge Ridley Scott fan) Pirates of the Caribbean 1-3 Star Trek: the Wrath of Khan The Beastmaster (one of the best bad films ever) Cannonball Run and Bubblegum Rally Deathproof and probably twenty more.

Are you kidding? This is a great looking model. A classic mopar with steelies and plain jane paint may not be very flashy but to a guy that had one and misses it, this is better than anything. And it looks like fine work. Show us more.

Like disco man.

Actually if you see the top photo the wire isn't on the header but a few inches above. If this was just dressed up a bit it would make a great deal of difference. All in all I like it. Where was the radiator hidden?

Wow. This is the first I've heard of static issues when modeling. Materials like plastic are normally electrically balanced. So it would take a great deal of friction to develop a static charge. Plastics are insulators and will not discharge any sort of charge when grounded. If this is an issue for you a hairdryer is not an option. You need a device called a de-ionizer, which is used in low humidity areas when handling electro-static damage susceptible electronic devices. Unless you are in a very dry climate, I can't imagine static being much of an issue.

This should help you with posting your pics. Looking forward to seeing your work. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=52417

Happy to help. Looking forward to seeing your work.

Don't mince words Joe, tell us how you really feel.

Agreed. Also the front wheel wells of most Mopars are the era are notoriously narrow, so tucking a wider, larger tire will require some modification. Looking forward to seeing the work.

Man, that is just super work. Well done.

I have two clubs that I belong to (one online and one local) that both are on FB. I'm also a member of Jim's F.A.S.T. FB page and a few others that are genre specific. Cranky and the Old Man just started one recently and I was invited to that one as well. I like them a lot frankly. There are a lot of great builders using FB. I don't think it will ever replace the forums, but it's a good way to share your work with like-minded folks.

Super clean work! I dig it!

If it was done during play, most likely not unless it was an illegal hit (spearing/helmet-to-helmet, etc).

Yep, My 96 Stratus was one. It's in the forward area of the drivers side wheel well. I had taken it in for a timing belt change at 95K and had the bright idea to have them change the battery, as it was well past the five year mark. The shop manager quoted me $20 plus the battery and I agreed. When I picked up the car that night, the mechanic came in and told me it was the best $20 I'd ever spent. He had to modify a tool to get the job done. It took him over an hour.

I can't tell you why but man I have always loved gull wing doors. They just look awesome.

They just look so perfect on a gasser.

I'm glad to see you using real wood. I've done it a few times and it definitely gives it a great authentic look.

At the risk of sounding unsupportive of a fellow builder. Don't try to do too much to the model. Many a model has met its untimely end at the hands of a builder who tried to chop-channel-section-narrow-pancake having never tried any of it before. My advise - stretch the frame, complete the model. On the next one, channel the body over the frame. One the next one, chop the top, etc, etc. It's a baby steps approach to learning advanced techniques. This is a point I've brought up again and again for many builders. Please see the link below in my sig line, Walk Then Run.

I'm just glad that this is getting a no-stone-unturned approach so that everyone is satisfied with the actions taken by law enforcement.

Oh man, this one is sooooooo good. If I could shrink it so that it was still readable I'd make it my avatar.

Hey that's looking great. Looking forward to this.

Unfortunately I cannot take photos inside my lab. It's against the top secret/national security rules and all that. I work in an electronics lab where we build and test computers that will be used in the vehicles that will be taking our boys back to the moon soon. Here's public info on the systems I work on. I don't work for NASA, but for a subcontractor. http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/sls/rs25-engine-powers-sls.html#.VBhnMkAXMyM http://www.nasa.gov/exploration/systems/mpcv/#.VBhnakAXMyM
