    If I am following somebody, amber is safer. If the car is pleasant to look at and is not simply a transportation appliance. I like the cleaner look of NOT having amber lenses. Less colors on the palette is better.

    Because of my generally Day 2 builds, a modified engine is part of the fun. I love kit bashing and working with what I have. I have only built one, no-engine kit into one that did. I was still more fun than work and I was pleased with the results. (see pics)

    I graduated HS in 79. Every guy wanted wide rear tires but nobody was doing rear tubs (Not in the budget generally) The common option was 15x10 Cragars and N50-15s. Some cars got fender flares. A few were tasteful. Many were not. Air Shocks were all the rage then too. A couple of hours at the tire store and you were set.

    I am curious as well.

    I always remove them. I like trimmed, detailed parts. For painting I will build sub assemblies that shall be all one color. For everything, I CA glue a stub of sprue to a hidden portion of the part which gives me full 360 degree access while painting. This includes bodies. They are easy to snap off later.

    I have run into the same scenario on occasion. Super Clean always first. If it struggles, then brake fluid. Sometimes back and forth.

    That turned out SWEET!

    Excellent build Carl. Thanks for sharing.

    I give you a 7 for the concept. As someone who has been on the roof of a LOT of Burger Kings, your accuracy is way off. But I will not hold it against you. Nice effort. Throw some more detail at it as you see fit.

    I have never seen any of those before.

    Pictures would be handy...

    Subject matter for sure. I just did a brand count of my inventory. It seems I own slightly more Revell/Monogram but AMT is a close 2nd. However, I have built significantly more AMTs due to the subject matter. (Muscle cars and Semi trucks).

    Nice modifications and pretty color too.

    Beautiful result. Well done!

    That is SWEEEET!!!!!! I wish it was mine.

    That is quite stylish. I wish I had that much imagination and skill.

    That is a pretty cool dio. I quite enjoyed making mine a few years ago.
  18. Bills72sj
    Pretty cool. It is kind of like a 2 door limo.

    Red is a great color on a Challenger. Thank you for sharing. ?

    Your craftsmanship is stunning on this one. With right selection of foreground and background, a good photo could fool 90% of the people into thinking it was a 1:1.

    The pic in the Mustang shows how big it is. WOW!
  22. Bills72sj
    I am continuing to enjoy your creativity.
  23. Bills72sj
    Wow Carl! That looks great! How did you do the lettering on the rear tires?
  24. Bills72sj
    Is the reverse true where the continental kit will fit the Chevy?
  25. Bills72sj
    Nice finish and well detail carbs. I like it!
