  1. As mentioned! Loved seeing all three being built! And they all look great. The first two hold such a high standard and with that level I am suprised you managed to make two! great builds with a really cool stance!
  2. Sweet!! Always been a huge Bigfoot fan and I am stoked to se That the later stadium truck will be released again in Ford form without Bigfoot stickers though.
  3. Great looking livery! Much better than the kit ones. Should have been posted in drag racing section though ?
  4. Came out great!
  5. Beautiful build!
  6. That fitment is not the best but end result looks good! A Swedish 1:1 build used the non RS lower valance so they got the lower turn signal as well and used that as brake cooling ducts.
  7. That’s mint! Looks good, just like I remember it!
  8. Nice. I did not know that there was a Chevy stepside of that year. Have only seen gmc with the dual square lamps.
  9. Har to get me some suplies and comitt to buy a new mitre and saws. also got the Swedish mag, that have a model section where my friend happened to be published with his 1:1
  10. Nice build! Where is that grill from?
  11. Beautiful work! Looks great! Nice! That rear end looks really neat for any thing not to extreme! What box art does those kit have? O! And how does the front suspension look, really miss aftermarket tubular front ends.
  12. Sweet! will be folowing!
  13. Thanks for the tips on where to find info. ? Also found this restoration: https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0119-359647/1973-chevrolet-chevelle-nascar/
  14. So I got hold of two MPC kits of the third gen chevelles. First I found was the release of the Pepsi Chevelle. Have started doing some work on the body, including mods on the hood to make it more in my taste. Also got hold of a tbird chassis for that one and made some cuts to make it fit better, but I need to extend it and fix a new top to the cage. Then I got hold of an original issue of the third gen kits. Never opened, original vintage price tag and crispy plastic wrap. I would actualy like to trade this one for a opened, even started kit, and some other nascars as donors. If I won’t succeed with the trades i will open it up and do a 3D scan of it, iwork with that often but in full scale, and my cousin is CEO of a company that works with scanners, I will make a 3d model of it so it can be printed in the future when I have a printer available. would any how like to do scans of both the body’s and a extended r bird chassis since even they are hard to come by here. A question for you that have been seeing nascars and/or held the olds kit of the same generation in your hand, I heard it need allot of work not sure on what part, but except for the obvious front and rears of the body, it looks to my un trained eye to be quite easy to make the olds work as a donor for fenders and roof for the Chevelle? or it might just be as easy to Make a complete print of the body since you won’t use anything from the olds any how due to the chassis being what it is. I thought I post here for these projects and update When any progress is being made or cutting of wrapping ?
  15. Looks realy good even though the miss hap, your save made it look good any how!
  16. Looking good! Looks very good with the decals on! in contrast to you I have none of the kits at the moment. ? these kits for sure builds up nicely. Built two supras lately but not as you found them in the JGTC.
  17. Great work on that pile of parts! I would have given up!
  18. Absolutely love it! Is it based of the original or is it al scratch?
  19. Wow!! Epic! You work so quick!
  20. Really neat wheel setup, especially since most of it will rarely be seen, most times the cars are only on display to look good and then the wheel placement is way more important than double a arms and being “correct”. Great progress man!
  21. Cool build! Nice dirt on it!
