  1. OP= Original poster (not specifically model related but...)
  2. Same with "cast iron" exhaust manifolds, I leave the mould lines on them.
  3. Nice! I like it!
  4. Wow, beautiful wiring job on that engine! That's a nifty little trick with the tube and sculpey clay. I will have to try that one. The interior is fabulous also!
  5. I just stumbled across this thread during a search and all I can say is WOW! You are taking detailing to a whole 'nother level.
  6. I agree, those paint jobs are immaculate!
  7. Wow! That is really top notch! I love the "been there" stickers in the back window.
  8. And I also picked up a '70-1/2 Camaro. Hey, if Michaels is going to keep sending me 50% or 55% off coupons, I'm going to eventually buy all they have. Woo Hoo! The 20,000th reply.
  9. I wound up exchanging the 1/24th scale '66 Shelby for this 1/25th scale '67 Shelby. This Mustang may have to be my first black paint job I attempt?
  10. That's exactly what I do. Type in what I want to look at and click on images. It's amazing what comes up sometimes that is totally unrelated??
  11. Beautiful restoration. I like the new shoes!
  12. Interesting mods. I'm not quite sure where you're going with this yet, but carry on! Salt flats racer maybe???
  13. Well I am starting on this one slowly. As folks on here say, it is a fairly nice kit. It will be mostly stock appearance with some detailing. at least that is the plan at the outset. The first issue I come across is the tail lights. They are quite large and very thick. Out of scale parts bother me unless it is a fantasy type build. The problem with these is: I can only reduce the thickness a certain amount before I cut into the recess... so I may have to drill out the recess in the body so that I can inset them somewhat. If anybody has corrected these somehow, please post up or PM me. Thanks Greg.
  14. A '56 Nomad, a 55 Chevy convertible, and a '66 mustang
  15. Very Nice! Your brass looks pretty good, it just hasn't been polished lately.
  16. This is looking fabulous so far! Can't wait to see the rest of it.
  17. That's a bit of a stretch in my mind considering some of the builds I see on here, but hey, I do appreciate the enthusiasm. Thanks All !
  18. I know absolutely nothing about resin either, but there are a lot of very nice and helpful Folks on this forum. Try searching some videos on You Tube and if you come up with any specific questions, I'm sure someone here will give you answers. Good Luck!
  19. Love these cars! One of my regrets in life is that when I was 16 years old, I found a Bel Air convertible sitting in a farmer's field with 1964 California plates on it. The front bumper was in the back seat and it had a tow bar on it. The top and the interior were trashed, but no exterior rust anywhere that I could see (rare in Manitoba). I was told by the farmer who the owner was and that he lived in a small town in Alberta. Through a fluke of luck I was at a kids party in a neighboring town and low and behold, here was a phone book for the town in Alberta. I looked him up, sent him a letter (no e-mails or texts back then). He said I could have it for $500.00. Being a stupid kid and wanting something I could drive, I bought a '67 Falcon instead. Oh well, I am happy where I am in life, and who knows how one little decision could change the coarse of things? Sigh...
  20. Nice build! I love that movie. I was running the projectors in the local theatre when it came out and saw it multiple times.
  21. Very nice job and I love that color too, I have a couple bottles of the pearl blue in my stock.
  22. Nice job on the upholstery. I really like the plain sleek look too!
