That is pretty neat. I have never seen anything like it.

Gary, Sorry for late reply. Here is a link to my Lowboy and Triple Drive builds. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/147188-modified-for-length-amt-lowboy-trailer/#comment-2161677 https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/148169-brbo-2020-triple-drive-white-freightliner-coe/#comment-2176624

Thank you, Mario. ? David, my pleasure. I like solving problems and also sharing solutions. Thank you, Donato. ?

Nice look with the roll pans.

David, It looks correct because I got lucky and had some parts to swap around due to having 3 similar builds going at the same time. The Bonneville kit had a custom bumper/tail panel where the tail panel was good but the bumper was not. The 2+2 kit had the correct bumper but has the wrong stock Bonneville tail panel. You are correct, the 2+2 kit also had the too wide red lenses. I spliced the bumper I wanted, with the tail panel that was correct. I snipped the lenses to fit in the narrower openings then used a scrap piece in the center to act as the center reflector. An ever-so-slightest touch of Molotow framed the reflector. I made a "Pontiac" water slide decal in black (because inkjets do not print chrome) to give the illusion of an emblem.

Thank you, Larry. ? Thank you, Chris. ? Thank you, Carl. Thank you, Keith. I really enjoyed the results as well.

Cool project. I would keep the wheels and tires but go for the big back window as mentioned by David. I imagine your friend would make the change if he learned of it.

I am in! I am going to update Dom's 71 GTX into a high speed, long hauler. I have already hacked in a bigger fuel tank and found an IRS that practically fell into place. I also want a more modern engine for power and fuel mileage. Unfortunately, when I cracked open my sealed AMT 2010 Dodge Challenger... IT DOES NOT HAVE AN ENGINE! After some research. I have a 3D printed Hellcat on the way.

Thank you all for replying. After some research for cost vs. what I would actually get, I went with a 3D printed Supercharged Hellcat engine for $16 off ebay.

Donald, I do. But mostly I love most any Muscle Car with 400 or more cubic inches regardless of who makes it.

I want to kitbash a Gen III HEMI into a build. I opened an AMT 2010 Challenger and was sorely disappointed.?

Thanks for sharing. My Dad used to drag race a 33 Plymouth Coupe with a 331 Hemi in the mid 60's. At one point he had 8! 2BBLs on it. If he saw that there was no one in a certain, Blown, class, he would run a flex hose from the heater blower into one of the carbs just to win a trophy.

Thank you, Danato. ? Thank you, Harry. I thought so too. Thank you, Garry. I am glad you like them. ? Thank you, Ismael. ? Thank you, Jeff. I am pretty pleased with my throughput. Congratz on you 9. ? Thank you, Bob. ? Thank you, David. ? Thank you, Bill. That one was born a 75 promo. I back dated it and added a lot of engine detail. to the 455. Thank you, Bob. ? Thank you, Greg. ? Thank you, Terry. ? Thank you, Mathias. ? Thank you, Hans. I had a lot of fun building it. Much more interesting than a plain white background. Thank you, Phil. No, I like to mix it up. Annually, I shoot for 3 types of builds. One semi, one challenging project and a batch build of 3-5 similar subjects. This year I did not do the semi because last year's was so tough and this year's El Camino need dragged across the finish line finally. Thank, you David. I have lots of variety in my stash to work with. Thank you, Bruce. I am glad you liked it. ? Thank you, Craig. I have plans on eventually having a number of Hurst subjects. Including someday this one.

Did you fab the roof or is someone offering it?

Thank you, John. ? Thank you, Oliver. ? Thank you, Chris. ? Thank you, Chas. I would have loved to have owned one. Thank you, Bill. ? Thank you, David. ? Thank you, David. I wanted something besides basic black inside.

I managed to get SEVEN done this year. One holy grail, two long term projects OFF the bench and 4 batch builds just squeaked in under the wire.

You sure do some fine work. What is the color of the 71 Cuda? I am leaning towards something like that for an upcoming build.

Exquisite builds!

Very well done!

Great job on the weathering. All that hard work paid off!

The 2nd car I ever owned was a 71 Galaxie 500 4DR. It had a 400M and regularly spanked my buddy's 69 Mustang which had a 351 Windsor.

Thank you, Steve. The tires that come with the rims were just TOO low profile for a car this big. I still greatly enjoy my diorama. I use it for a staging area for WIPs. I take pics of the undercarriage on a lift because flipping a model over for pics, destroys the "illusion" in a gallery of photos. Thank you, Greg. ? Thank you, Tim. They are parts box tires from an unknown source. I have 4 overflowing kit boxes of tires. I got them cheaply, by the pound, off ebay in the very early 2000's. Thank you, Phil. ? Stand by... Thank you, Ben. ? I would really like to have the real thing. ? Thank you, Mike. ? Thank you, Gary. I am generally a Day Two builder with aftermarket wheels and upgraded induction. However, the Pontiac 8-lugs really appeal to me. But for the "High Performance" pick of the litter, I thought these wheels were just the ticket.

Following. Years ago I traded someone my step side bed and frame for a long bed to go with the standard cab. It is a project I have not gotten to yet. (You know how that goes)

Oooo! I am liking the lighting! I need to step up my game!

Than you, Danny. ? Thank you, Eric. ? You are welcome, Glen. ? Thank you, Carl. ? Thank you, Garry. ?
