  1. Thanks allot! ? great to hear that more people like these ?
  2. That would look good. Will see how i get the exaust back there. thanks for the idea ? Thanks! You are on to some thing there! I would normaly turbo it but i am not in the mood for turbos, have to many other turbo projects So LS it is and i see if i manage to get som other super charger. I kind of like that type more than the intake based ones. Wow! Thanks for that coment! It warms the hart Thats also a nice option, might be possible will se the space in that region is worse than behind the rear axle, I will keep it in mind ?
  3. This seems ok and doable though ? and in 24/25 scale al extras are scratch built any how so I guess most things would fly as long as it does’t look like laser cut parts, modern seats, LED light bars and sow on ?
  4. It would be fun to join with one of the ‘67 Chevelle that I have stolen the chassis from for Pro street builds. Have a gto chassi I could use. But I would probably have a hard time with period correct every thing.
  5. Beautifull work!
  6. Nice build! These chargers are so good looking!
  7. Good that I was wrong ? looks good!
  8. Thanks! I will go with the LS because it feels like it has more aftermarket parts so in such a car it would make more sense than a LT5 which in many cases is like a unicorn ? ye that supercharger size is way capable!
  9. I found a tubular front kmember and aarms In my parts bin from an old C5R so that seems to solv some of my problems at the front end with clearance. And it seems plausible to have the ride height I want, as long as I manage to route the exhaust, side pipes are not an option ? The plausible ride height, a front runner of clearance under the frame rail:
  10. I might join in. I like the idea at least ? but will see if I feel up for it or if I get around to it ?
  11. Here you se a 1/18 “18 wheel with a fat tire made for the rear of a Mercedes CLK GTR ina 1/16 trans am. can’t remember which of the 1/16 tre fives that comes with some extra goodies for making it custom. Some one can probably give you pointers on that. There is also the Revell stepside pickup, called Baja which is 1/16 if you would like to make it a 4x4
  12. Looks great!
  13. Nice, I can agree with one post above.. i have 2 1/16 kits and 1/18 parts looks way to small. Tried with allot of 1/18 wheels and tires but all are to small. But i used some 1/18 "18 wheels in a 1/16 "16 tire and that looked ok. I guess the petty charger is a source for parts as well as 3D printing.
  14. Nice projects! Will be folowing!
  15. Great work there! Weathering makes it come alive!
  16. Beautifull build!
  17. Aha! I see! so it just the 'Cuda that have fender grills? I understod though that it was the newer revell tool since you di't have those there becuase not may would remove them on the 1/24 kit. I realy like your work on it! And hope to see it finished some day ?
  18. Nice builds! Is the '71 based on the newer tool '70 cuda or the old tool? Edit: noticed the fenders so thats a '70 being converted right? Is it a 3d printed grill on there?
  19. I jus had to get this one. Sealed for 54$ inc shipping. Not much for sealed kits so if anyone have one to trade that is complete body wise, since I don’t care for any other parts in it, but opened I can be open for such a trade. If no one have one to trade this one will be opened ?
  20. Great progress as always!
  21. Since I am a libra things might change back and forward some times.. this happened to the engine now. I have decided to go with LS power in stead! But i will make a new better looking intake so the LS looks better. Will also do something about the boring LS valve covers. I have also been thinking of the front end, to swap in a C5 corvette.. but not sure. would be more in line with the Bostic impala to go with the "stock" front end.
  22. I am no expert in any body style and to me both the revel ‘69 Camaro and ‘70 Cuda looks the part. I have heard things about trim issues and sow on, I am just glad it builds in to a nice model of the cars without way to much hassle as I feel there is with the ‘71 Cuda and many other amt, monogram, Revel and Mpc kits. One thing I can’t get in to my head is how the newer tooled kits from the revel brand can have so many problems with fitment in comparison to their Japanese counterparts. Have not tried anything newer from Revell than 2000ish though. Any how thanks for al the input in this matter!
  23. Great progress! Looking forward to this and I know you wilL make it great!
  24. Nice buil!
  25. Wow! Looks stunning! What do you use for cutting your styrene stock?
