    That is something I will never be able to accomplish. Amazing.

    I have metal files that are my go to. Often the pants wipe does not do it. An old tooth brush works most of the time. On worst case scenarios I use a little plastic bristle wire wheel in my dremel. THAT works every time.

    I like it. I am gathering parts to do the same thing.

    We have the same preference in cars. Though you seem to be more organized than me.

    I love the color and the wheels. (and the Cherry Bombs)? I did the 70 to 71 conversion quite awhile ago. What did you use for carpet? It looks great. The front grille looks like a 70 with a divider. How did you do the tail panel?

    I would be curious about this as well. My Dad had a 66 Satellite Convertible when I was in grade school.

    Nice Vette! Thanks for the tip about the hood. One of these is planned for my next batch build.

    Those wheels look sharp with that blue you selected. I made a 69 BOSS 429 awhile back. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/162587-1969-boss-429-makes-its-debut/page/2/

    Nice pair!
  10. Bills72sj
    Very nice. Is this a curbside kit?

    I was looking and seeing a SBC, truck tires and 2-wheel drive. What was throwing me off was the 4-link coil spring suspension. El Camino!

    I love the blower hat being higher than the roof.
  13. Bills72sj
    My choice of words exactly.
  14. Bills72sj
    I skip the the pins altogether. And simply glue the wheel backs to the chassis bits. I do not want mine to roll either and STANCE IS EVERYTHING.
  15. Bills72sj
    Ditto. I would like two bumpers if they fit better than the AMT ones AND 2 of the wings.

    My top 5 have yet to be built because my skillset has not finished growing by leaps and bounds thanks following top modelers like Steve G.

    I do not want to hi-jack Antonio's thread. I will PM you with pics.

    Thanks, Tim. Lots of mods were involved. stretched frame, tire rack rotation, upper and lower decks. The hardest part though was masking the curves over 3 separate items before assembly. I had to take a break in the middle of masking for 4 months.

    You get WAY, WAY more life out of a bottle of CO2 because it compresses into a liquid with many many times more molecules then Nitrogen which is still just compressed gas.

    I like the original "Eleanor" color choice.
  21. Bills72sj
    I see you put the 70 side stripes on your 71. I did the same thing!

    This car was painted with Testors bottle enamel thinned with Big Box store lacquer thinner. It is a 50/50 mix of #1106 Arctic Blue Metallic and #1539 Blue Metallic Flake. The Tamiya above is pretty but brighter blue.
  23. Bills72sj
    Do you ever have issues with moisture? I have CO2 available to me as well.
  24. Bills72sj
    Nice wheel choice. Bravo on the whole build.
  25. Bills72sj
    Those are way cool. I modified my transporter pretty heavily. I also have a similar trailer. What did you do for a receiver or trailer ball? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/172853-what-if-our-hobby-suppliers-sponsored-a-local-racer/
