  1. Looks verry good!
  2. Thanks man! It’s been allot of work and allot still remains! it’s not an easy project tats for sure! Follow the thread you will se when it progress! ?
  3. Nice! Will have a look out for them! I like these purpose built racers but I have no relation to them, except for movies. But I like their chassis and engines for swaps? hard to find here though except for Salvinos expensive kits. allright cool! Where to where you planing to go? I live almost as far north as you can go in Sweden in a Minig town where we are pioneering green steel.
  4. Some polish needed to morrow.
  5. I went to a special school that was specialized in automotive testing. They had collaboration with most manufacturers regarding their winter testing, so we had internships on many company’s, BMW, Aston Martin, I believe Audi and some testing company’s in the UK. Mine was Aston as mentioned. A friend of mine was on the design studio of Aston. Btw the same seats that are in the Tamiya model is what we installed in DB9 and V8 Vantages for the press cars, a update to an already built car to represent the coming years interior. Btw back then Aston had the ugly ford key, not the beautiful ones that came later.
  6. Sweet! Looking good! will be following and nice to see an other being built. I got this kit not to long ago, got it new from my LHS where they had forgotten to put it in their web shop, luckily me since I got it for original retail which today felt high but okay! I had planed to get going on mine this year but it will wait a bit due to the bmw and Others. These cars are special to me since I in 2006 where at the factory for three weeks and got to ride in al the models they made. I also followed a DB9 in fabrication and where at road test for the most part of the first week. After that I was in press garage for the two other weeks, where I got to disassemble a DB9 and instal a new model of seats ? was a great experience especially in retrospect. Made this display the other day, waiting for my DBS to be built. Sorry for hijacking! Will be following!
  7. Looking good m8! Will be following!
  8. Nice! Might be something for me. Wil look up if I have the right tool
  9. Got primer and a coat of paint on yesterday. Not what I had in mind but I can’t get my black Zero paint to spray evenly, it spits, so I grabbed an Tamiya can in the cabinet so it got gray.
  10. New window trim made out of brass.
  11. Actually put some love in to that Cutlass body, need to address the trim on the left rear side window after some filling and sanding, and the trim was junk to start with any how. Don’t know how to address it at the moment though. But otherwise it looks like it’s not to far from primer. A shortened bmw spoiler ad some well needed attitude to the cutlass rear. Probably jacking the suspension a bit higher in the rear.
  12. Looking sweet!
  13. But you guys will never se the 635 until you cross the finish line
  14. Beautiful build! Got that Snaper and playing with wheels right now.
  15. I was fortunate to score a 1974? Oldsmobile Cutlass Johan snapper. I took it out and compared it to the MPC body’s. And they are very similar. Wold say that the roof is the same. And maybe the b pillar is thicker on the original MPC Yarborough Chevelle, and yes I cut the plastic. I am not sentimental. I think I need to order some chassis and go ahead and build three different GM’s from the 70’s. After the beemer and Silverado though, or I do as always do, and build many simultaneous so none will get finished ?
  16. Question, is it something special that you found there that you can’t find in the us? I have not bought anything from them but have several other sites in EU/UK with better sites to order from. With a bigger aftermarket supply.
  17. Scored this one recently. Complete exept for front steel axle i guess, nice box built but no glue or paint. I will take some measurements of it but dont know what to do with it after. The box is sweet so if some collector want the kit i can trade it. Send PM
  18. Micro steps, I have glued the Scale Auto Style 1/24 PE brake discs that I have had in my stash since 2006. They must have been made for this kit both the front and rear discs are perfect in size to this kit, except for the inner diameter on the rear hub so they will need to be turned a millimeter. I Also tried to get the text to look good on the valve cover, but I do not have BMF so I tried Molotov and then paint over it and use AB thinner to remove the black again. I could not resist to put a cable to the oil sensor.
