  1. I was able to do some details in the engine using reference photos. To all those photografers outthere, putting your shots on the web specially old motor racing , THANK YOU from all of us modelers. THANK YOU
  2. Worked a little more on this project and it is starting to look like a racer. Did the paint and decals and started to do the engine, still need to do lots of stuff and even dow you wont see much of those details like the metal headers I created under that heat shield, Is something I do for me. Need to do the rear suspension and the interior......more photos soon if my 1 year old let's me. seeeyaa
  3. To start will like to say, paicients my boy....today is monday the 28th and you posted saturday when most of r out doing grown up things. so don't get bent out of shape. So far I see the engine detail and is good, lots of chrome for this hot rod. The interior I only see that is red but you don't show much. Try taking your photos outside, because they are not very clear. keep working, you got a good start. take your time, do not rush it.
  4. like vader said, impresssive,,,,most impressive

    IT IS THE REVELL OF GERMANY KIT, DID NOT LIKE THE SORRY LOOKING WHEELS IT CAME IN THE BOX SO I WENT TO MY JUNK PILE AND FOUND THIS WHEELS THAT CAME WITH THE HOT WHEELS TRANS AM CAMARO....NO IS NOT A TRANS AM PONTIAC BUT THE TRANS AM SERIES....JUST IN CASE. ONE OF MY PLUS OF THIS KIT WAS THAT IT CAME WITH A ENGINE. MOST KITS OF THE M1 DON'T. THE DECALS ALSO CAME FROM MY JUNK PILE, THEY R FROM THE IMSA 83 MUSTANG TURBO. THIS CAME FROM A BOX THAT SURVIVE 3 HURICANES, WATER DAMAGE AND IT WAS SITTING IN MY FRIENDS GARAGE FOR YEARS.....GLAD YOU LIKE
  12. If you like IMSA, you for sure love their GTP class and if you love GTP you have to say that the 80's was the best competition ever. One of the cars that blew me away was this design by FORD. It was different and smooth. The car did not win much, but If I had the money and the means to get one a historic race car I would get this one to parade around in the Monterey Races in Laguna Seca. Let's see how it comes out, it's one of those projects that you don't know were it will take you... i was not planning on opening the doors, and their they go. So now I have to start to scratch built the hinges and to modify the interior to cover all those holes you don't see when the body is put on. If anyone have actual photos of the car...SAVE ME THIS ARE A FEW PHOTOS OF THE ACTUAL CAR

  14. R U WORKING O A 1/12 MOBY DICK? OR A REGULAR 935?..will like to see picks.....
  15. Love how it is coming along, I have a Tamiya waiting for me, I have built two so far but not to my satisfaction. I need to do it right, this time it is an important piece in my collection. please if you can post how you put the decals, I will really appreaciate it...they are a bear. they are thick in one section and hair thin in others, I always end up doing the MOMO RED PORSCHE, but the car to built is the martini. This car is a beast, a great experiment and a great piece of history. you have to do it right, low and straight...i have found out the bodies I have worked with come warped..the car is long and wide. also the way it seats box stock is to high and it looks like a toy car which for modelers you want to avoid. will be watching and learning, thanks for sharing your work.
  16. Dude, everything... finish the engine, need to glue the parts, the engine is not assembled yet paint silver the other pipes going from the turbos to the intercooler. do the interior, dashboard, steering colum shifter etc. do the rear end and fabricate those long wheelie bars. and the body needs details like more decals, clearcoat, shoots and glass, headlights, rear lights and grill. I also need to paint the interior of body because you can see it undone and last and most important part, the custom hood...that I know it will be a
  17. My air brush broke, while I am shopping around for another one I could't do the design I originally wanted and went with something easy to do with a can...It is a fade from silver to royal blue to deep purple.

  19. In my opinion, this is the winner of the built off................... Bro, you nailed it, It is rare to see a modern f/c built since the manufactures have not delivered, but thankz to resin companies and aftermarket stuff and builtders like your self, we get to see works of racing art like this. My vote is in
  20. it's been a while since I seen a tuner built. sweet ride, clean and smooth.....keep it up want to see it done.....thanks
  21. this was one of my favorites overhaults they did, the model came out just like if Fuse himself would do if he did models. asome love that hemi. Thank YOUUUUU, you made my day
  22. don't even think of using the chrome ones, are you crazy stick with the look all the way. and I would drop the back, its to high.
  23. This old pick ups are like jeans, the older they get the better and you did an exelent job on the whethering and that missing head lamp, the cherry on top of the cake. you guys are "tremendos"
  24. I have been building since 1977 and I still have a long way to go and I think thats what I love about this hobbie, you will never stop getting better. back then we did not have forums like this were you can learn from the best no matter where we live. back then we did not have so many manufactures dedicated in this hobbie, IT IS INSANE.....Man for the looks of this corvette you started running. WHAT IS YOU NEXT PROJECT?
  25. talking about low budget....what do you do if you need to make a intake for this kind of set up? I found in my parts box this oil pan from a funny car. turned it upside down. after paint....it starting to look like something
