Wow, that is pretty cool. You got the amount of orange touches just right. Tastefully done.

That is pretty nice. I love the block technique you used. The dirty bathroom was typical when I was a kid. As an aside, your shop floor is suspiciously clean.

Very impressive. Way beyond my skillset. I love all the metal details.

I dabbled in it when I had access to both a mill and a lathe. Just few side projects for myself and people I know. I have 4 items I made in the dash of my 1:1 Grand Prix.

Those both are pretty sweet.

Wow that is awesome. I too want to build the 58 to 70 series. I have all of them except the rare (and expensive) 68 and 69.

These are the Daisy Wheels I know of. In 1:1 they are American Racing Wheels 200S.

Good to see you are back at it again. I have been in a slump as well. Started at least 5 projects but none of them made it as far as paint. I am currently distracted as I am rebuilding my spare 1:1 455 Pontiac engine for my 72 GP. I will be following your progress.

One of my favorites was Firefly. I actually bought the DVD set.

I guess you were taught to respect other people's (and your) property early on in your childhood. Kudos to you parents.

I am still old school. Scrape paint carefully. Mix Testors red tube with Plastruct liquid and apply sparingly with a toothpick. Model stays together with out losing parts for going on decades.

That is pretty awesome. I love it!

Very nice! A unique combination of billet wheels retina burning paint.

I am along for the ride. I have dreams of making my L700 into a short tanker. Like the septic tank cleaning type.

That turn out quite sweet.

Thanks. I long ago I determined that stance is WAY more important than wheels that actually ROLL. So I tend to build suspensions stock in relation to the chassis. I then painstakingly glue the tires to whatever is available. I do so in exactly the position I want them to be located in the wheelwells. Do I get misalignment from the ends of the suspension? Sure, but I do not have anyone in my life flipping my models upside-down to give me any grief over it.

Other than the "Sad eyes" of the outer headlights. That Amigo kit can turn out pretty nice. I converted mine to a 69 Boss 429.

I have gotten stuff from Keith before. He has a quite a few offerings. I have not contacted him for awhile. I could make the decals at home but I do not have the artwork files. A hi-res scan would work but you have already applied yours.

That turned out sweet. What was your method for doing the emblems?

Way cool build. I have the 70 Jo-Han kit and a resin hood. What I do not have is the decals. Any leads?

Dual tires looks much better than dual axles.

After max detailing my big girls interiors, I would do so if I wanted the best possible interior.

Way cool. I was attending the 1987 Car Craft Nationals and we parked next to a couple of guys with a wagon that had the full on RoadRunner treatment to it. I thought it was pretty cool. It was the 1st Muscle Wagon I had ever laid eyes on.

I have both books. I have read the Muscle Car collector version cover to cover 7 TIMES!

That is correct. I have not yet painted with acrylics. I have a lifetime supply of lacquers and enamels.
