  1. Thanks, guys! The cab floor is out of the same '66 that donated the frame...I'm not sure if it's 100% accurate here, but it looked close enough for what I wanted and fit the AMT cab surprisingly well.
  2. Looks great, nicely done!
  3. For all the fighting it gave you, it turned out nice
  4. Beautiful work, the paint and custom parts really look great on this car.
  5. Yup, gotta love Hollywood cars (and their stunt doubles!). I had started building it with the 427, and got as far as having it installed in the frame when "In the Beginning" aired and Dean called it out as the SB.
  6. Thanks, Kurt! I got it from one of the craft stores, either Michael's or JoAnn's, in their craft paper section.
  7. Nicely done, the color and wheel choice are excellent.
  8. Beautiful work, that red interior was a perfect choice.
  9. I think the only problem I have is that your work is so clean, it's impossible to appreciate how much you fixed unless you know what the "before" looked like. Awesome job as always!
  10. Officially the Supernatural car is supposed to have a 327 w/automatic. I used the one out of Revell's '64 Impala in mine, so if AMT skips this detail I know that one drops in with little headache. One thing I notice they seemed to have skipped is the spotlights, which were dropped after the first few seasons.
  11. Bult from AMT's '72 Cheyenne kit, with a modified frame from Revell's '66 Chevy pickup and the engine from their '69 Nova. The drivetrain is a combination of parts from AMT's '84 GMC and scratch building, with resin wheels from eBay sleeved to fit Monogram's big off-road Goodyears. More info on the build is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome.
  12. Nicely done, that's a tough kit
  13. I'd say it was worth the effort. I made a similar effort on an Ertl General Lee many years ago, and while it was "OK" it still ended up being one of the few models I parted with. I decided that any diecast Chargers I got would be kept, warts and all, and if/when I want something better detailed I'll do it in styrene. Good idea using the non-acetone, I'll have to keep that in mind...I have a NASCAR Camry that needs a little more work on the hood to get rid of the old UPS logo, that may do it. Thanks! If you haven't yet, you may want to contact Round 2 directly to find out about Greer's history there. I sent them an e-mail regarding the City Slicker and they were super helpful not only answering my questions, but providing a little background as well. Their marketing/PR department seems to have done their homework, so they may be able to give you more info.
  14. Thanks, this was tribute to box artists. Don Greer did the art for MPC's City Slicker, with supplemental work by James Hood. I did, the extra detailing really helps the old Charger - nicely done! How did you remove the hood deco? Any time I do, I usually use alcohol with a final polishing to get rid of the outline, but that would have made the hood shiny.
  15. Thanks, guys!
  16. Beautiful work, that looks great!
  17. Awesome job on this, the whole thing from fabrication to decal work is outstanding!
  18. Nicely done, the Camaro looks great in those colors. Like Keith, Root Beer is one I haven't gotten but I may have to rethink that after seeing this build.
  19. My most recent Charger...
  20. Very clean job on this, the Tudor Sedans have always been my favorite of the fat-fendered Fords
  21. Very cool project, and nicely done!
  22. Thanks, guys! You and me both - the S30s were always some of my favorite designs.
  23. Nicely done, the Z looks great in that color.
  24. Fantastic work on this, the colors look great and I like the subtle touches like the CF interior panels.
