  1. Thank you for the feedback Larry.
  2. That looks pretty good setting in the business end James.
  3. I appreciate your comment Jim.
  4. Yeah I really like this one. When I was a kid my mom always liked the big Chrysler's and the Rambler wagons. Congrats on trophy.
  5. Just finished this one. This is the Revell 1956 FD-100 pickup modified to a Pro Street. Rear axle was shortened 1/8" on both sides and moved up towards the bed 1/8" to get the stance lower. I had to relocate the rear control arms and the shock brackets to the inside of the chassis as the slicks took up all the room on the outside of the chassis. I had to cut into the wheel wells and the bed to get the big ol meats to fit. I cut up pill bottles for the wheel tubs in the bed and added a piece of plastic to the bottom where the embossed letter were to give it a clean look. All the trim & bumpers/running boards were painted with Tamiys Matt Black. I shot it with Rust-Oleum flat white primer then cleared it with Tamiya Clear Pearl. I then polished it with Novus 2 and McGuire's Ultimate Liquid Wax. This was my first model to make this many modifications and I'm pleased with the outcome.

  7. Thanks Buddy. I'm on the downside now.
  8. I got the body wet sanded and polished this morning. I hate wet sanding as I burnt through a little in a couple spots and I'll need to fix. Still looks a little chunky but I'm satisfied with the outcome.
  9. Pretty sharp looking. That color looks pretty kewl. Nice looking model all around.
  10. Nice looking 33 Willys. Both look great. Love the old Gassers.
  11. I think it looks pretty kewl. Looks like some ol boys were out in the garage one night drinking some cold long necks and decided to piece together what they could find.
  12. That's a bad looking ride. That would be a Gas taking that down the street or strip.
  13. That's a great looking Monte Carlo. Quality work. Looks just like the 1:1. Great job.
  14. Nice looking 70 Buick. The white interior looks good against that body color.
  15. 34 Coupe is looking good.
  16. Welcome aboard Judah.
  17. Thanks Steve. Yeah that lip on the roof was a little funky looking. Thanks for the link.
  18. Nice looking James. Get ta wrenchin on that 427 and see if you can shoe horn it in the business end.
  19. Looking good.
  20. Nice looking group of fantastic models.
  21. What a good looking Ford. That black looks Bodatous. Nice job.
  22. Really sharp looking Luke. The red interior looks super sharp against that sweet looking black paint job on the body. Modifing the intake for the two 4's turned out really nice. Fantastic job.
  23. Your 29 Roadster is shaping up pretty nice. I like the old Hot Rods.
