  1. Beautiful work Scott. I love all the little Halloween details.??
  2. Just some pics pulled off Pinterest…maybe photoshopped or AI generated.
  3. Excellent work John. The black/red looks fabulous on it.?
  4. A car well worth saving, and you did a terrific job Brian!??
  5. I got my mini lathe working again. I ordered a complete control box from Little Machine Shop. Five wires to connect and I’m back in business.
  6. Elsewhere is where the wife wants to be this winter.
  7. Back around the late 70’s, I was at a bush party and someone stole the coil wire from my ‘68 Biscayne as a joke. So I swapped a plug wire over to the coil and drove it home on 5 cylinders.?
  8. Seat is pretty much done except for a bit of puttywork. The package shelf is the next task. It is recessed slightly on the real car. I need to stay clear of the window glass and the rear deck hinges.
  9. Thanks, scribing the side panels to look decent will likely be the toughest part. I added .156” of Evergreen to the middle so that the upholstery centerlines roughly match the front seat spacing. I added some extensions to the side panels from .080” Evergreen. I used Tamiya extra thin to weld the pieces back together. When thats well dried I’ll dress the outer edges of the seat and add the required amount of Evergreen to both ends. Then try to clean things up.
  10. Are you sure your name isn’t Red Green.?
  11. I grabbed this at a local flea market for $15. It’s complete including the decals.?
  12. Just saw Joker 2. Very disappointing movie. Half musical, half courtroom drama…without any drama.?
  13. Satan keeps stealing model parts right off my bench.
  14. I decided to give modifying it a shot. The worst I can do is destroy two bucks worth of plastic.?
  15. Cool!? I picked up a built one a while back. The tires have softened the rims badly, so I cast the best one. Do you have a build thread?
  16. Nice! I had a PHR subscription back in the 70’s and I looked forward to every issue.?
  17. Outstanding work Mozzi!? This is going to be a real looker when done.?
  18. This should be interesting! Your stuff is a work of art and I really like the clear explanation of how and why you’re doing what you’re doing. I like the concept too.??
  19. I Believe you are correct Lei. Thanks.?
  20. Thanks Jim. The interior is actually Mr. Color #69 “Off White”. I think it will be a nice contrast to the Maroon exterior.? My speeds are: Plodding, full stop, and back the truck up.? Thanks Topher!?
  21. Profit shouldn’t be confused with prophet.
  22. Got the interior finished. I used foil for the seats and upper chrome molding on the doors, Revell Chrome on the rest. I replaced the shifter with a pin. I’m not happy with how the carpet turned out, but it won’t really be visible easily once the body is on.? I am using the GTO decals from the Polar Lights kit.
  23. Picked up a very tiny Tamiya paint brush from a local hobby shop, and the hobby knife from Princess Auto.
  24. No need to be stingy with the glue now!?
