Finally got started on it. Got the engine done. Primer is on the body, I will go with Tamiya Deep Green for the color coat.

I think the tops can be removed to reveal a larger opening. I've never tried, but have read about others doing it. -
Got this one on the bench ready to start. Straight 00B build, nothing special, probably add some plug wires. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

Kit I picked up at Ollie's a few weeks ago. Straight OOB build, nothing special. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Nice work. They look great. I'm a fan of the show. I recently built a 56 Chevy based on one I saw on there.

The Salvinos generic Dodge kit has the correct engine. I built the 71 Dodge number 11 using that kit. I got the kit and decals from Mike's Decals.- 1 reply

Too bad about the paint issues Bob. It's happened to me and it's frustrating. I'm sure you will get it figured out.

Picked this up at Ollies back a couple months ago. It's the Hot Wheels version. It is a nice little kit. I built it straight OOB, but did not use the Hot Wheels decals. Color is Testor's Metallic Green enamel, interior and top is Tamiya Tan. The engine I sprayed with Rustoleum Bright Coat. It went together well, the front suspension was a little finicky and the hood does not fit properly, seems too short, but I may not have the radiator installed as far back as it should be. I think it looks better without the hood anyway. The instructions called for gluing all the interior pieces and the fender wells together as one unit and then install into the body. I found that didn't work too well and added the fender wells and interior panels after installing it in the body. Worked out better that way. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.

That is real nice Michelle. Love the paint.

Thanks Jim. It is a nice little kit. I like the modern front suspension, it was a little finicky to get together but looks really good. I'll pick up another one next time I'm at Ollie's, if they still have them.

As you can see I got a wild idea and painted the dash and steering wheel Testor's copper.

Got the chassis done and rolling. Interior is done and mounted in the body, just need to get it all together and get the small bits on. The instructions call for putting the interior panels and fender panels together with the interior as a unit. I found this a little difficult, so instead I added both the interior panels and fender panels after installing the interior, much easier. Also there are 10 locating pins on the firewall, interior floor, and fender panels with holes in the frame to match up with. I found I could not get all of them to fit at the same time. I cut off all the pins except the 2 on the firewall, and it fit much better. A couple more days and I should wrap this one up. I had forgot about the top and just got it painted today.

Thanks Jim. They are the kit wheels. Thanks. I applied a little Tamiya Smoke after I took the pictures. It toned down the chrome a little. I need to redo the photos. Thanks Carl.

The kit wheels look good, but I like the Jay's wheels and tires. They will look really good especially with the rotors and calipers detail painted.

Looking good Bob.
