  1. Thank you sir. Thank's Luke. I'm a Happy Camper on the way it turned out as well. I appreciated it Steve. I have a 49 Chevy Restomod that I dearly love but....if I was to build or buy something with a little more muscle for the street this is the way I would want it. Thank's Philippe.
  2. That's going to be a sharp looking Jeep. I did the same thing a while back thinking I wanted something a little different and bought the Revell Baja Bronco.
  3. Thank's Steve. Your kind words mean a lot.
  4. Thank's Carl. Yeah those wheels and tires looks pretty good. They are out of the AMT 67 Chevell Pro Street kit.
  5. That 56 is looking pretty sharp so far.
  6. That's a look of good looking eye candy. Nice job.
  7. Thanks Ray. I appreciate your comments.
  8. Thank Kyle. Thanks James. I made it through mine so I see no reason why your build shouldn't come out great.
  9. Yeah that's a looker John. Love the stock colors and all that foil work looks nice.
  10. Thanks Buddy. I'm liking this one.
  11. Thank you for the feedback Larry.
  12. That looks pretty good setting in the business end James.
  13. I appreciate your comment Jim.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.

  17. Thanks Buddy. I'm on the downside now.
  18. 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.
  19. Pretty sharp looking. That color looks pretty kewl. Nice looking model all around.
  20. Nice looking 33 Willys. Both look great. Love the old Gassers.
  21. 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.
  22. That's a bad looking ride. That would be a Gas taking that down the street or strip.
