Very nice build. -
The Ford race car set definitely. The Plated tanker if I did not already have one. If I collected Die-cast then the Mustang and Charger for sure.

*Model Car Preference*
Bills72sj replied to Zippi's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I like American iron '53 to '78. Primarily Muscle cars with contrasting graphics. I like Big Rigs that can carry cars too. -
Nice stance. I vote for keeping the knockoffs
-
Pretty. I like it.

Very nicely done. I like the red Cherry Bomb mufflers. I do that on all my builds. Adds a splash of color to the bottom. -
Very nice example.

Stalled 1967 Mustang GT coming back in the queue.
Bills72sj replied to Bills72sj's topic in WIP: Model Cars
After setting it aside for 3 months, I finally got the motivation to get back to this one. I was trying to hunt down some shift linkage for my Boss 429 build and opened the box for this one. Once in hand, I applied some BMF and some Molotow and moved it to the "in progress" shelf. -
Very nice work. I have one in progress that has stalled due to paint failure. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/155548-1967-shelby-gt-350-dark-blue/

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I am out of that orange paint.

Slowly making progress. I have been trimming and thinning the parts box 67 engine bay to fit into the 68 body and chassis. I found the Shelby center console and added that to the interior tub. I also ran the spark plug wires on the 428 Cobra Jet. I even matched the factory wiring order. (Not that anyone would notice).

I got this yesterday. I will not be using the wrecker portion. I just wanted the Ford truck with the smaller sleeper.

Down memory lane for fun
Bills72sj replied to John1955's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The demise of many of my early models is similar. My brother and I both built models. A couple died by firecrackers but most were destroyed by demolition derbys. We had a long hallway upstairs with oak flooring. We would be at each end and slide them towards each other to make them crash. Our rule was once the engine came out the winner got to keep the loser's model. I had an unpainted 56 Ford that was pretty tough. I think I won 5 or 6 in a row with that car. My brother finally won it by strategically wrapping rubber bands around his engine compartment. Technically it was cheating but our rules were limited as we were grade school kids. -
I do not know how I missed these but great results on all! BTW where do you get your RWL tire decals?

The Zen of Model Building
Bills72sj replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I hear you. Too much detail takes too much time for those of us who are not retired, I am driven by the sense of accomplishment of an aesthetically pleasing final product. I do admire the skills of others and utilize their methods from time to time. I like to get about 5 done a year.
