What was your first model car?
Mattilacken replied to Kit Karson's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I still remember my first car kit. It was a Corvette C1 with the big scoop. I hand painted with brush on the black plastic and I still have it in pieces. And had a thought I’d renovate it but I think I should just glue it together as is as a memory? built in the ‘90’s this is the one: -

#2 Since I am dealing with allot in life right now, and I don’t want to fail my self, I think I will need to resign this year. This so I only build when I feel for it and on any kit I feel for ? -
Looks good! There are two versions of this kit original and the Nismo version, which comes with the intercoler, custom exhaust, upgraded brakes, strut tower brace and sow on. ?

My daughter have built together with me heir 4 build a Tamiya GT2 racer with custom pink paint over silver and Pepsi decals that she found in my stash. she helped painting and told me where the placement should be of the decals, I tried to have her to apply the decals but she was a bit to restless so she did the small ones on the hood, bats and skulls and stuff. Mostly plastic black chassis.

Nice progress so far! -
Or the monogram chassis, for the later style chevelle they are a better fit in my opinion.

Sat at the desk a bit today am I tried to get the wheels to align more like I want it. so I will ad a flat stock on top of the firewall so the chassi get flush on the underside with the body. That’s the sweet spot I think so I get the wheel outboard enough. I also made rear flares, it’s a 2” wide fender flare on each side. Might sand it down a bitt and I might still alter the shape.. this is just the base. But after seeing the pictures I went back to the desk and took them of before they cured. Didn’t like how they looked.

2023 Cannonball Run-What-You-Brung Build Thread
Mattilacken replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
Had to do something about this total Swedish color combo that i cant stand.. so i shot the chassis in gray late last night -
Thanks mate! I will se how i low i make it ? it droped realy low now when the chassi dropped where i wanted it, almost liked the stance better when it was 1mm higher which led to the wheels could come further out. I got so sick of the yellow chassis so i coated it with some gray the other night.

#2 Managed to get the wheelbase locked in and sorted I think. Also started on the front wheels and alignment. I would like to keep it this low but the body style does not favor it. Might need to do some body mods because I really like the wheels to be all out to the edge of the body. Also managed to seat the chassi well I think. Have also started on the cage work.
