  1. Wowser...that's looking Bodacious Donald. I'm really liking this build.
  2. I appreciate it Spike. That Iceman drop chassis already has a Hugh "C" notch. I need to adjust the rear axle support tubes for fore/aft, not up/down.
  3. I think I'm getting close on getting my front and rear axles figured out. I used some 1/8" X .014 aluminum tube to get my proper width. I'll epoxy the aluminum tube to the wheels then to the front and rear suspension. I do need to cut a little off the rear axle tube support rods but no biggie.
  4. No. I plugged and puttied the kit firewall. Once dry I'll sand it smooth. That's the plan anyway.
  5. I got out in the garage about 7:00 this morning to try and beat the heat. I decided to fill in the firewall and not use the funky hinge that came in the kit. I think my Tamiya putty is starting to dry out in the tube. I have not gotten around to installing the rear axle just yet as I want to set the rear ride height as close to the front as possible. The front suspension is not adjustable but the rear has a small amount of play to work with. This is the first mock-up and there will be many, many more to get the ride height to where I'm happy with it.
  6. Yup. AC is feeling pretty good right now but I'll be back at it shortly.
  7. Awesome looking drag car Jason. Nice build dude.
  8. Thanks Tony. I think the K.S. Pittman decals really woke up that orange.
  9. The wet sanding and polishing is bringing that green to life Donald. Looking really good.
  10. That looks fast setting still. Fantastic build Dennis.
  11. I always liked the body style of the 64 Malibu. Great job Chuck.
  12. Much appreciated Maurice. I am from Indiana. Thank you for your service.
  13. I'm diggin this one. Nice color. Very nicely done.
  14. That's a good looking 65 Shelby GT350.
  15. Nice looking pickup Allison.
  16. Super nice looking 57 Chevy.
  17. This is going to be a pretty nice build Greg. I just got in those two colors on the box art in from Splash Paints (Seamist Green & Dover White) anticipating another 55 Nomad build down the road.
  18. Thanks. Yeah, it was a head scratcher at times for sure but I'm a happy camper with how it turned out.
  19. That bed looks nice Donald and the dash lights are killer man.
  20. Looking good Lee. Great stance and the business end is looking nice and tidy.
  21. Welcome to the team Buster.
  22. I sure do appreciate the kind words Buddy. Thanks.
