Very slick looking car. The colour looks great on it!

Fabulous work. That paint job is beautiful and I love all the little turned aluminum goodies on it. ?

Very nicely done up. How did you get that rig in there??

Looking fine there Mark. I like Tamiya’s LP line of paints too. They spray nicely through the airbrush also.

Thanks. I just placed an order this morning for some T-14s, T-17s and some rims. I’ve gotten tires and rims from him before and they are excellent quality! ?Unfortunately the super swampers are discontinued.☹️

This one? It look like you’ve got a pretty accurate start on it.?

Excellent Progress! I wish I was that efficient. I like these big old Chevys too. I had a ‘68 Biscayne 4 door, a ‘69 Impala 2 door ht, a ‘70 BelAir, and a ‘71 Caprice.

The outer floor pan is attached but could easily be cut off and the frame shortened? This is the Crew Chief Blazer frame laid on top of it. The Blazer frame is 1.23” wide, the truck frame is 1.4” wide.

At least he didn’t grab the preparation H instead of the toothpaste.?

I must have missed those when I was looking around on their site.? Thanks for taking the time to measure those for me!?

Thanks Brian. These are the44’s you mentioned? Any chance you have the outer diameter handy? I see what you mean about the inner sidewalls and air bubbles. I think I would have to rig them up on the lathe somehow.

That would be great. You can post them or pm me with them. Thanks!

Stretch the cab.?

Ha anyone ordered the 4x4 tires from prostreethobbies? Thanks! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/324564458920

Thanks. I see I have this in the wrong section.

X2. The Tamiya rattle cans are a laquer, but not a really hot one.

And They swept them 4 games straight by winning 4-3 in TRIPLE OVERTIME ?! WOO HOO !!!????

Since it is a straight axle, I would just replace it with a piece of brass tube, or styrene tube with a metal rod inside?

Looking good Jason! I love those old straight sixes.?

Excellent scratch building going on here Bill! The engine looks really great.

Very creative and nice job on it. ?

I agree, it looks great with the black wheels and blacked out trim and bumpers.?

Do you mean the rubber moldings that the glass is set in? If so, I made these out of .040” half round and painted the them with Tamiya XF-85 rubber black.

I agree in the 1:1 world. There are people who build vehicles that are un-driveable and/ or unsafe, either for shock value or because they just don’t know any better. Those I dislike. However, when it comes to models....build what ever you want, anything goes! You can always hit the back button if you don’t like it!? I try to stay somewhat realistic, but it’s just a hobby. I do it to pass the time and keep tabs on my eyesight and dexterity. I know some members here are real sticklers for accuracy, and I commend them for it.

Has anyone ordered any of these tires and rims? Just wondering what the quality is like? Pictures look pretty nice. Thanks! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/324564458920
