The rarest I ever built was a JoHan Haulin' Hearse. I lost it long a go. The rarest one I have now is my 70 Grand Prix I rebuilt.

Sanded tire treads and a red shifter ball. Nice touches on a beautiful build.

Get a rectangular tub just big enough to hold a car body submerged. Make sure it has a lid that seals. Another alternative is the big plastic gallon tubs of ice cream. Though you will have to eat all the ice cream first. (The sacrifices we make for our hobby). As mentioned earlier. Super clean is more concentrated than Purple Power. I used the same jug over 2-3 years and dunked at least 10 bodies in it. I even left one in for 5 months with no harm to the plastic.

Those turned out very nice. How did you make the distributor so realistic?

The scoop is simple enough to make from evergreen sheet stock. I too, suggest the Motion Baldwin Camaro. Here is what I did with mine.

Nice paint/color!

This will be interesting to watch...

The weathering on the excavator is VERY realistic. Wow wow wow!

That ridge really adds a nice touch.

It is your project bu,t I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the "V" in the trim was centered in the space between the relocated door jam and the front edge of the rear wheel opening. ie rearward about 5/16" to 3/8". (my guess is not to scale)

I have built a couple of these. I was inspired by my best bud who owns a 72 454 4-speed Heavy Chevy.

PM sent (did not want to hijack the thread)

I would suggest swapping in the engine bay from a 67 Mustang GT. This kit's engine bay is very SAD.

If it were me, I would high-res scan them in my PC, clean up the edges and print out new ones.

The B pillar, the wheel opening and the door lengthening will get you the best bang for your buck. Maybe shave the gas door. Chop the top a bit if you are into that.

Cool build and uniquely yours.

I feel for you. Hopefully a new, friendly kitty will be coming home with you soon.

Here is a link to a lengthy demo of the Duplicolor primers.

You Pete turned out great! You have done a superb job. Building these really stretch one's skillset once you become motivated.

I built the Motion Baldwin version molded in grey. I do not remember fiddling with the headlights too much except for maybe making the lenses for better. I used BMF judiciously trimmed.

Pretty cool. I flattened the rear deck on my build too.

The same concept occurred when music went digital aka CDs. Once there is a digital file in the world, it can be shared by anybody without morals.

Nice build. I see that you (and I) installed the rear spoiler "backwards" I think it looks better that way.

Well done! I like kit bashing too. It lets one build them as we see fit.

I had heard these wee a pain to build. Thank you your perseverance. At least now I know it CAN be done.
