I don't see any problem with the pictures Tim, I'm looking at them with my Mac Book Pro and they are all nice and sharp. Those top plates are "top notch" and can't wait to see the next part of this ultra rare carburetor setup!

You made great progress and some very good modifications on the body Ray. I had never seen this car before but based on the pics of the real car at the beginning of the thread I can tell that you're heading in the right direction!

Finally the doors will work...lol. That's great Daniel, this is exactly how I would have tried to make the hinges and I don't see any reason why it couldn't work. Thanks for sharing!

Very nice call to convert it as a diorama Phillippe! This Charger has seen better days but the desired effect is spot on! Very convincing... I think it will bring a lot of discussions at the next model car show! Welcome on board by the way!!!

Good trick for the intake tube Mike! Very convincing and well done, I will be tempted to use this technique on my next projects. Thanks for sharing!

Hello guys, I had some extra time on the workbench and the temperature is simply is horrible here (endless winter...) so I started the build of the transmission. There are some very nice resin or 3D printed version available on the market (Futurattraction or Shapeways come to mind) but I always wanted to make one from aluminum so I give it a try. The first part is the mounting plate, I added the picture of the real one that I will try to reproduce. Comments and suggestions are welcome as usual and very appreciated! Take care, Francis The target. Beginning of the machining of the mounting plate for the Lenco transmission. The mounting plate will be bolted on the bellhousing using 6 brass bolts from Scale Hardware. Mounting plate and the bellhousing side by side.

Good job Daniel! This gas filler cap found it's definitive place on your model and it looks great! Another piece of the puzzle done...

Very beautiful Kenworth! Nice color combo too. Not a lot of these on the highway anymore...sad these are nice looking truck! Well done Ken!!!

Very good and realistic rendition Bob! As others mentioned the weathering and rust look real. Well done!!!

Very nice and clean build Bill! I like it's simplicity too and all your improvements made to the car are top notch! Well done!!!

Beautiful Mustang sir! Seem to be a very good and well detailed kit. As others mentioned the blue and white combo is superb! Well done!!!

Very nice and clean build Marcos, the paint is gorgeous! It would cost a lot at a Barrett Jackson auction! Well Done!!!

Very nice and accurate build Marcos! I do love the color choice and you did a really good job with the Bare Metal too. Well done sir!!!

Very nice cars Bill! The color scheme/combo is very nice on all 3 cars. I especially like the Chevelle wagon!

Sensational job on the cab Charles! I'm a big fan of scratch building and I'm very impressed by your incredible skills. Another piece of art in the making!

Thanks Ron! I do love all the Mopar bodies so it's hard to make a choice when I start a new project (no counting the ridiculous amount of time it takes my to finish one... lol).

Very nice project Curtis, I really love these Duster! I also had a neighbour that had a 73 Duster painted this color with a beige interior but had a slant 6 engine and a 3 speed manual transmission. Great job so far, the decal on the dash and the air cleaner look fine!

It's true Pat and it's always a good habit to keep some of those everyday material that might useful to build parts from scratch. You do have a nice inventory by the way...

This Torino is very nice and clean Tim! Like for drag racing I do love this era when the cars were looking like an original factory car with stripes, larger rims and bigger tires. Well done!!!

Nice project Jerry! Not much of this Camaro year around, it's nice to see one on the workbench!

I really love the 56 Chevy! I'm not an expert of the Chevrolet brand but it seem rarer than it's older and younger brothers the 55 and 57 model year. This Revell kit seem very nice!

Good job Matthew! I agree with your comments, this kit seem very accurate and have crisp details and I will consider buying one. Thanks for sharing!

Nice paint job and stance Anthony! Congratulation for your first scratch build parts and you can now considered yourself as addicted, once you start making your own parts then you can't stop!

Very nice job on the transmission Steven, the added details pays off and it's now a really better match with the 64 Pontiac 1:1 transmission. I really appreciate that you had taken the time to make the defrost openings on the dash... nice touch! Is it a 3D printed steering wheel or an original kit part molded in clear styrene?

You're absolutely right Daniel, we must walk before we can run! You made a very good job with the filler cap. Speaking about the location for this one, I would place it on the fender... I'm kind of a traditional person and I think it would be a logical position. Would be cool with the doors opened... lol. Just kidding, it's already a very cool build!!!
