Beautiful Chevy. Nice work.

Built this AMT 34 Ford Pickup about a year ago. It's been sitting on a shelf with some other models. Noticed the chrome parts are deteriorating. Anyone else see this with this kit? Bad chrome plating?

Merc looks great Bob. Nice work.

Got the engine done and installed into finished chassis.

Thanks Chaz.

Well, I wanted to go with the light green but found out I didn't have enough. I had just ordered some paints but did not get any green. I did get this sky blue, so I went with it. Looks ok I guess, I'll let it cure for a few days and then put on the X-22 clear.

Thanks Carl.

Interior is done.

Wheels and tires look great. And I love that paint. It's a really nice kit, I just finished one also in green. Got another one in my stash waiting on me.

Some interesting facts about the Charger in the movies. They were 3-5 cars used. The first shot of the car in Dom's garage has a 592 Hemi that was only used for that shot, after that it was returned to the builder. The actual engine used in the movie was a 440 Big Block with a fake blower, and the sound was not from that engine, it was recorded from a Hemi and used in the movie.

I think light green looks good on the Mopars. Think I will go with it. Got some of the engine done.

Hot Rod is looking sweet.

Thank you Trevor. Thanks.

Thanks David. Thanks Bob. Thank you. Thank you. Thanks David. Thanks Chaz.

This is the Dodge Charger from the Fast and Furious movies. Nice looking kit, but I don't know if I'm going to paint it black like it was in the movies. Hope to start on it soon. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking.

Calling it done. Photos under glass. Thanks all for the comments and for following the build.

I built this one about a year ago and it was dropped and broken, so I just put it back in the box. A few weeks ago I decided to get it out and do something different with it. I got in beyond my abilities but went ahead and done what I could with it. I wanted to lower it so I followed a great tutorial in the tips section by Ace-Garageguy. I Z'ed the rear to get it down and cut down the mounting area of the front axle to get it down. That went ok, but then I decided to channel it also which involved more than I bargained for. But I did the best I could with it and this is it. I think it came out ok, but as you can see I forgot about lowering the radiator so it sticks up a little higher than the body. Anyway I think it came out ok, and I learned a lot along the way. Paint is Testors Green Metallic enamel. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.
