This may not be exactly what you had in mind but I use actual machined aluminum for my wheel hoops now.

This is one of my favorite kit chassis. Following.

That is pretty cool. What kit did you start with?

I bet his Mom was mad when the smoke detector went off...

Very nice detail work.

Thank you for sharing. That is a beautiful Caddy.

I still want to know where I can purchase the shrink ray you are using to create all these classics...

BMF. Best option.

I have experienced this as well with raised white letter tires. Really really old white enamel EVENTUALLY solidifies. (I have since moved on to white Gelly Roll ink pens)

I recently built an AMT 68 Shelby. The engine compartment is totally lame. I grafted in the engine bay from an AMT 67 GT fastback. It worked out fairly well.

Inquiring minds would like to know.

I live in Salem and never even heard that it was here until recently. (I still do not know where it is). The orange; 71 Hemi Challenger was owned by my cousin's brother-in-law way back in the 80's. I was at his house and he had it stashed in his drive-in basement. It sticks out in my mind because he said it was the only Orange Hemi Challenger with a factory sunroof. He sold it because someone offered him $98,000 for it which was STUPID money back in 1989.

Definitely looks good lowered. More pics please.

Well detailed build. Great job.

That turned out gorgeous! I have both of those kits. I hope I can do them justice.

I am grateful that Round 2 is doing what it does good or bad. If they hadn't, filling my closet with kits would be quite an expensive proposition. If they have a subject I want, I will get it. Price matters sometimes other times it doesn't.

Yes. It is one of it best features.

I really like the custom touches. Especially the hood. I like the two tone idea but I am partial since I own a 1:1 that is two tone. May I suggest metallic brandy wine and metallic gold.

My go to is Para-film. It has no texture and can be left on for years. It also is good for masking over things like panel lines. It can also be pushed around a bit after it is laid.

Cool project. I like all the unique features you have combined. I am curious as to what trailer and load you have in mind. Likely something warranting heavy haul capabilities that works with the limited reach of the crane. Maybe something you could fabricate like a tower crane section or wrecking balls.

You just eloquently described what made me lose interest.

I am only 61 and still working full time. I too hope to build every impala from 58 to 70. Just missing 68 and 69.

Well done. Yellow and black make a good combo.

Thanks for sharing. A lot of quality iron there.

What scale are they? great work BTW.
