Nice job on a tough kit!

Nice clean work on this, it looks good!

So far so good, looking forward to seeing more of it! The kit has fairly respectable big & bigger Goodyear Eagle GTs, the same tires Revell used in several of their muscle car kits. It's the hubcaps that look doofy.

Nicely done! I also have one of these to get to some day...

I always liked these Z cars, nicely done!

Good choice; I don't have any of my very first builds, but I do have a few that were still early enough that I can compare them to newer builds. Looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!

Great job on this!

Nice clean work on this!

Nicely done, the Salt look really suits this car

Got a bit more done over the weekend. The transmission is a B-N-L Resins Powerglide, and fit the MCW engine perfectly. Also made an exhaust from 0.080" rod stock and the crossover muffler/tailpipe from the original kit. Once that was done I could get the rear axle in, so now I can add the wheels.

Nice choice, the truck looks good in OD!

Thanks, guys!

That's fantastic, nicely done!

Thanks!

I started with a Lindberg Dodge L-700 chassis, wheels, & engine, then scratch built or kitbashed everything else. More info on what went into it is in the "On the Workbench" thread here or on my site here. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Wow, some incredible work so far! Looks fantastic!

Thanks! I've just wrapped him up, pics and text will be posted to the "Under Glass" shortly! In the meantime, here's a preview:

I was thinking about trying to make a bag for the front seat, but need to go back and watch the movie for a plan of it. Some of my family lived in Massena, so I'd say we're more central–in the woods about a half hour/45 minutes from Albany. But any time a forecast includes "hill towns will receive...," that's us.

Thanks, guys! It didn't amount to much, but yeah - flurries mixed in with the rain. Tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 80s. Gotta love NY weather!

Excellent work, and it looks great in that color!

Looks great, nicely done!

I've been there myself with trying to get a build pulled together and finished. Thanks for the back story, nice job on the updated General!

Nicely done, that turned out great!

Thanks, guys! This year has been a string of weird stuff vying for my attention, including work, house, and weather, so my build schedule is even more out of whack than usual. I'd like to say that things will even out once we get into summer, but it was snowing here today so who knows

I've been away from this for a while thanks to other priorities taking over, but I was able to get back to work on it today! The body trim has all been added, using a combination of Model Car Garage parts, styrene stock, tape, foil, and a set of door handles from Fireball Modelworks. Once that was done it was on to weathering - both to add the required gunk and also to reproduce the faded and dusty color.
