  1. Looks epic! Some thing you could se at the local strip around here!
  2. Came out so good!! Really beautiful in every way! Great details as well!
  3. I'v got three cars right now.. My get to work car: Volvo V50 1.8F manual, Sumum. 2008. Company/Family car: 2019 Mitsubushi Outlander PHEV And my hobby car together with my father: 1990 K5 Blazer Diesel.
  4. Yea I do, but I like the ‘70 more. These will most likely be robed of their chassis and parts for other projects. ?
  5. Got me these to play with. To bad that neither one of the kits have nice rims. The Chevelle ones are really ugly. The Revell at least can be modified to some thing decent.
  6. Cool build! I can se that one at any Praia!
  7. Looking good! Will also open up my grill but will leave the ribs in, sand from behind. since we have pics of to builds in here I post a pic of mine found under other racing.
  8. Beautiful build there! Great detail work!
  9. Incredible! Great details both with printer and other parts!
  10. Beautifull bild! I wouldn’t mind some more pictures of it, from low front quarter to show of that beauty!
  11. Sorted the firewall after allot of measures.. the tunnel is in center but the hole is not symmetric. Made a new lower section of the firewall instead of my first attempt to use the C5R firewall. The holes for the exhaust will come later. now I can place the engine and the transmission tunnel.
  12. Good work there! Must be the best looking Impala of that year I have ever seen, and right sort of drive wheels as well! A competitor to chargers, 300C and CTS-V!
  13. Cool build!
  14. Great work Ismo! Came out great!!
  15. Nice build! Long time since I saw those kits! Good work on it!
  16. A true beauty!
  17. Man that is a thing of beauty! And that engine is gorgeous!
  18. Cool, but no rust here I have been looking at that one, looks cool but i am not sure if i want anything.. I mean a Silverado is nothing you wold race across the contry with.
  19. Thanks! Yes it’s quite ambitious.. I have thought if I would throw a bike in the back. But no rust, would have to be a “wrap” if so since in my mind the body is CF. Those will be good looking when done, but the carbon you se is not the parts that I will use, will make new ones, those are from my PB for mock-up purposes. Where made by me before I knew of decal solvents.
  20. Great work! Keep at it I will be following!
  21. so I cut the rear bulkhead apart I can ad the transmission in an later stage and glued in the second frame rail. Have been working on the firewall and cut once on my measurement.. but I measured wrong so glued it back together and will do that cut over again next time and measure better. Made a quick mock-up with seats and some reinforcements for the front part of the frame. Which will be needed since I move the engine. NASCAR parts from the same Monogram kit that I have taken the cage from.
  22. Thanks for your kind words! I am an engineer and used to be cautious about model building.. but then I realized.. is plastic so it’s easy to repair ?
  23. Thanks! I think it will be good! I have an idea.. what if I relocate the radiator to the back for better weight distribution since the motor is moved forward so much. Hard thing would be to get air in, the bed is usually a low pressure zone so I guess air flow would be an issue so a bigger radiator would be needed. I don’t want to cut of the rear tailgate so an option would be to make channels on each side of the defusor to draw it out. But then again air is moving fast underneath the car since it’s flat so a risk would be that the pressure bellow is higher tan above.. Might be better to turn that around.. air from underneath and out over a wing on the tailgate. Hum. Wonder if it’s worth it.. would create downforce I guess. We will see if I get so far or I just make it simple and put it in a traditional location..
