  1. I love what you have done with it!
  2. Thank you, Louis. ? Thank you, David. ? Thank you, Tom. ? Thank you, Gareth. ? Thank you, Mike. I did build the diorama for that purpose. (It helps distract people from my mediocre photography skills)
  3. I concur with all the error comments above. The wheel arches could be reshaped better (Not perfect with some filing) If you removed the doors and replaced the rocker with a slightly longer one you could tweak both ends upward a tad. That would be a lot of work unless you intended to have opening doors. The short shallow scoops appear short and a bit too forward. They could be lengthened but it would disrupt their relationship to the R/T emblem which is also a tad forward. It will depend how motivated you are to correct things that a less than 1mm off.
  4. Thank you, Steve.? Thank you, Eric. ? Thank you, David. It would be if they were 1:1 and in my garage. Thank you, Chuck. I agree. ?
  5. Very clean builds. You need a bigger photo booth. lol
  6. Very nicely done.

    Pretty good. You did what we call around here Snake-Fu.
  8. I like the "dirt" yards the best. More realistic.
  9. I love this era Riv's. My Dad had one for a little while in the early 70's.
  10. Thanks. Here is a little more detail of my wheel fabrication.
  11. Thanks for sharing. Now I know how to route the serpentine belt. (Once I make one)
  12. I am just now starting 3 C3 builds. (69, 70 and 75) I have 2 of my colors chosen. I have been going round and round on the 3rd. After seeing yours, I am liking the blue. Thanks for sharing.
  13. Following. I built one not to long ago. I too used the AMT 67 GT engine bay in my 68. The kit one was just too lame. I modified some Shelby wheels to suit my needs. I failed at the body colored grille surround, however. Maybe next time.
  14. Good luck with that kit roof. Following.
  15. I have taken to making them myself. Sometimes with boots sometimes not.
  16. Thank you, Dann. ? Thank you, Steve. Here is another pic for you...

  18. I just finished 4 Pontiac motors. All were configured to be 421 Tri-Power. 65 Bonneville, 65 2+2 (Same engine molds) 1965 Grand Prix and a Revell Parts pack in chrome with bell housing but no transmission. Note: I did not detail them as extensively as Steve did.
  19. Jeremy, I'm building the '71. (With a just arrived Hellcat engine)
  20. I have never used oven cleaner. I use Westley's Bleach White for chrome. (I have a car with Raised White Letters) Super Clean lasts for years and will do MULTIPLE bodies. I actually left one body in for 5 months with NO harm. I also use brake fluid when Super Clean is having a struggle. Sometimes back and forth between the two.
  21. I was given a Panavise without the base. I was later given a solid disc of solid stainless steel. I TIG welded a stainless hex bolt to the center. I married the two freebies. I now have a 6-1/2 pound vise that actually HOLDS STILL when working on something. Its portability lets me position it on the bench wherever I need it to be. AND... the kitty cannot run off with whatever is clamped in it. ?
  22. You have to build with one hand tied behind your back.
  23. Very tasty build!
  24. Me too. I have never tipped anything over except my Dixie cup full of sprue lengths.
  25. AMAZING! If I ever find enough real estate to build a scale Truck Stop diorama, I know who to call for paving it!?
