Very creative! Do have any livery planned for it?

Very nicely done! If you are bored with it, I will give you my address. ?

That looks sweet! Do you have a pic of the yellow paint bottle? Is it enamel or acrylic?

I would suggest mini magnets glued where they are not seen and/or inset and painted over.

Nice work.

I have an iPhone and a PC. I use a genuine iPhone USB cable to download pics from my phone to my PC. Once they are in my PC, I have editing programs to make changes if needed for my bad picture taking skills (Generally cropping). I only view the forum on my PC not my phone.

I have sealed kits of the green one and the blue one. After successfully converting a JoHan 74 Olds Cutlass to a full detail kit, I will do one of them full detail. I like the suggestion of a 70 Monte Carlo as a donor. (I will need to get one) I have plenty of SBCs in the parts box.

Yellow with black stripes looks great. I did a Rally Sport one of the MPC kit with aftermarket decals. One of the rare builds I gave away.

Thanks. Just today I had my best buddy's son help me change spark plugs and valve cover gaskets for the 2nd time in 25 years.

I am grateful there are still kits being produced. Imagine the hobby if the supply dried up completely in say 1999? We'd all be trading $100+ for the few kits that would still be floating around. Without the repops, my stash would be less than half of what it is.

I own a Starlight black Pontiac. Pure black, no hue, no sparkle.

I am apprehensive about CA glue around glossy or chromed surfaces. I use Testors tube red to get it to stay in place then later, fill ALL the gaps with Testors window maker. I makes gaps disappear and draws in the color from both parts to visually narrow the seam. It also provides full and resilient strength around the entire perimeter of the part.

I have not done any pining yet. In this case there is no body surface to mount a pin. It is all "edge".

Great story. I have a bit of the hoarder bug it seems. I really only want ONE of everything I like with a few exceptions. I am at the point my supply will likely not run out before my life. I am 62 and could see building 10 a year given the time and motivation. The stash I have would then last me until I am 85. Of course, that assumes I will never buy any additional kits. (LOL)

Way cool build. Nicely done.

Nice job detailing this rig. Are you building doubles/triples for it too?

Way cool construction trailer. Here is how I did my D-rings.

What they all said. Awesome.

All I can say is a big WOW!

I could not bring myself to paint the whole engine greyish yellow so I got artistic,

Jeremy, Yes and thanks. I did make some mods. Here is a link to the build. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156213-1968-shelby-gt-500/

Thanks for the feed back Mike. when I did my paint test, the powders did not want to mix with Future (acrylic). They did mix very well with clear lacquer but I would not call it dissolved. I have not tried the pearls yet.

That is beautiful. Love the paint choices.

A really sweet ride.

Very impressive. How long did it take to build it?
