  2. Love it! I always wanted to build one of these! Nice job.
  3. Very nice! You are a talented individual!
  4. Just gotta comment again, beautiful build! Thanks for the videos as well. Watched the one on this build as well as your Chevelle. Multiple times! Got some great tips that I will definitely be trying!

    Very nice build! Interior details look great! Beautiful color and perfect stance. Nice job.
  6. Very cool! Love the color and graphics!
  7. Thanks Garth!
  8. Thanks Dave! Much appreciated! For the most part, the kit wasn’t too bad. I had issues with the mismatch on the motor, windshield was definitely unusable, and rear leaf spring needed some love to fit correctly. As far as removing the fenders, I had an idea and just started cutting! Lol! Yes I do like the wheel backing plates. That is a cool touch in the kit. It was a bit of a challenge but that’s why we do it right! I gotta say it is one of my favorite finished builds! Thanks again and thanks for the info as well.
  9. Chop looks great. I like the bit of wedge in it!
  10. Thanks Steve!
  11. Thanks Rob! When trying new paint combos, I always do a spray out on a small piece of flat styrene starting with the primer all the way to the clear just to make sure everything works well. I’ve learned that the hard way! Lol! Never again.
  12. Wow! Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing the pics and very informative videos.
  13. Thanks guys! Much appreciated!
  14. Thanks David! Much appreciated. Unfortunately I am not nearly skilled enough in the casting dept for that! I should’ve looked around to see if someone would be interested in doing so for me. Will do Steve!
  15. Me too! Just moved here in 2019. Lived in EasTroy most of my life though but remember driving past the amusement park when I was a kid on the way to relatives. Now driving down Janesville Rd I can still remember exactly where it was.
  16. Lol! Thanks Mark! I know what ya mean. I just did the same when posting this very thread!
  17. Thanks guys! Much appreciated! I do wish I would have kept that car. I remember many time riding in the back seat on the way to the lake to go fishing with my grandparents. Cane pole pan fishing on the end of the dock. Fond memories!
  18. Thanks guys! Very much appreciated!
  19. Hey Russell, tell your pet mouse to lay off the throttle!
  20. Thanks Dave! More than likely I will have a few 32’s in a row myself! I’ve already got another one on the bench. Revell 32 Highboy. This one will be more of a show rod.
  21. Very cool!
  22. That is a beautiful Chevelle! Nice job!
  23. Thank you very much guys for all of the compliments! I cut about 3/16 from the bottom of the interior to get the body down over the frame. I was going to drop the rear suspension as well but glad I didn’t. No mods to the front suspension either. As far as the tail lights, it just kinda slipped my mind. I’ll add them on when I find something I like. For now, hand signals will have to do! Lol. 32’s are kind of addicting! I already have another one in the works. More of a show car. Thanks again. Much appreciated!
  24. Hey Claude! That is why I have a motto in my hobby room, never throw any kit parts away! Built or not, because you never know when you need that specific part or part of a part! I have a big box known as the junk yard!
  25. Just noticed in the pic, they used mechanical fuel pumps! Great pic of the legend at work. I copied it myself.
