67 Mustang GT has a decent SBF in it.

The rare 68 and 69 Impala kits are on my wishlist. I shall follow your build.

I cancelled my cable in January. Thanks for all the updates. Maybe I'll get to see reruns if I ever subscribe to a streaming service that carries them.

How much time do you have invested in it? I have been thinking about putting some Snake-Fu on some of my old builds.

I love the sharp lines of these Caddys. Following.

My feelings exactly.

I'm in! Nice finish on the wheels. I need to learn about spraying Molotow.

Well executed build. Congratz.

I like it!

Very nice. Well done.

May God bless you in your recovery.

Very nice re-creation. It seems your tires are struggling to stay tight to the rims. You might want to try this trick in the future. The pic is of a semi truck tire. For car tires I split the backer rod down the middle.

It may not be able to do everything a bigger lathe can do, but I needed portability as I do not have the room to keep it permanently set up. It definitely does what I wanted to do very well. It also has 6 speeds that you can change in about 5 seconds due to the belt drive design. I even made mine reversible.

I was all set to buy one of those for a decent price. The ebay seller told me it all of a sudden was not available and then relisted it for $60 more the same day. It soured me on the whole deal.

Thanks Kurt. BTW I made a serious attempt to move to Prescott. It didn't work out. My wife could not afford my pay cut.

I have been working on this one but have not been posting pics. I have most everything assemble except for the wheels and the air cleaned. I assembled the custom vanity plate with a photoetched Ford license plate frame today.

Most impressive. Sometimes I struggle when the part is already the RIGHT shape.

I build day-two "Streetmachine" versions of Muscle Cars. These typically have wider rear tires and mags all around. Up until this point, I always had to sacrifice some other kit's rims to get deep dish rings to get the look I have been going for. Once upon a time, I ordered some aftermarket rims from Hobby Design for a (yet unfinished) project. They came with aluminum hoops and styrene (or resin) centers. I like the concept a lot. Ever since, I always wanted to make my own aluminum hoops. Especially since I have a boatload of nice rims that do not necessarily fit properly in the full model boxes of tires I have. I came into some extra cash around last Christmas, so I purchased a Taig mini lathe. Lathes are very messy and generally take up permanent bench space. My tight 2 car garage always must have two cars in it and I do not have a shop or basement. I made a fold down work bench and mounted the lathe on a base that can be stored on a shelf. This week I finally got to actually use it. I successfully made two pair of custom hoops for the Magnum 500 wheels for my 1969 BOSS 429 Mustang. I look forward to making more for future builds.

Sweet!!! I would be proud to park that in my display case.

Very nice. I liken the paint scheme.

Very nice. I have been working on one for BRBO 2021. It has stalled pending motivation to continue masking challenging paint scheme. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/158539-brbo-2021-ford-ln8000-racecar-hauler-extended-version/

Here ya go.

Very well done! Makes me think about sending you my container kit to work your magic on it.

I like it! paint weathering looks very realistic.

Just found this build. Very well done.
