  1. Yea, didn't mean that the way it sounded. I know it's not MIkes fault and I will buy from him again. It's the powerslide decals I was referring to. But It was taking so long to get them to release I started leaving them in the water too long and apparently that was causing them to break. I have now figured out about the right time to leave them in to get them to release and stay together. So it's working out.
  2. Decaling is going slow. It takes almost 30 minutes sitting in water for the decals to release. And some of them are breaking apart trying to get them positioned. No more Power Slide decals from Mike's for me.
  3. Started this one. It says 2n1 one, but looks like it can only be built as a highly modified street machine. That's the way I'm going build it anyway. Got the engine ready. I think I like a gloss yellow for this one. I don't care for the decals in the kit.
  4. I really like Nova gassers, and yours is a beauty Jim. Nice work.
  5. I'm using WaterFox with Adblock, no problems.
  6. Finished the chassis. Started working on the decals.
  7. Got the decals yesterday. Got most of the chassis/cage done.
  8. That 32 Ford is a great kit. I built one a couple weeks ago.
  9. This Kurig coffee pod holder works good for holding the Tamiya acrylic bottles. My wife came up with the idea.
  10. Picked up a couple at Ollie's. They were 33% off.
  11. This will be my first build for 2024. The 1998 Daytona win number 3. Got the paint on, and got the decals ordered, should be here next week.
  12. Beautiful build. Nice work.
  13. Looking good. Nice work.
  14. Thanks all. I had a lot of fun building these. I actually have a couple more I started but didn't finish.
  15. Don't have a photo of the 1:1 but this is the replica. First car I owned, bought in 1969 when I graduated high school. 1966 Impala SS 396.

  20. Calling it done.
  21. I combined 2 kits to build this one. I used the wheels, tires, front and rear suspension/rear end and the 392 Hemi engine from the Revell 5 window coupe. The rest is the Monogram 32 Ford Classic Cruiser kit. It took a little modification to make the suspension work and to get the stance where I wanted. I had to also modify the trans on the Hemi to get it to sit right in the frame. I scratch built the exhaust system and the driveshaft. The exterior paint, engine, and frame is Tamiya X-13 metallic blue acrylic. The interior is Tamiya XF-17 Sea Blue, which looks almost black except in certain light. Had fun with this one and I think it came out ok. All comments welcome, thanks for looking.
  22. Thanks Carl.
  23. Beautiful Mustang. Excellent build.
  24. Beautiful Chevelle. Love the color. Nice work.
