MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. If you are unfamiliar, they are from a Motor Trend TV show called Roadkill. A 440 powered 68 Charger, and Hemi powered 55 Chevy. Both cars started out as body shells. The Charger was a roller, and the 55 was just the shell, and front sheet metal.
  2. I looked at the original build of Blastphemi, and thought the firewall was left white, but in later episodes the firewall must have been painted flat black as well. I need to fix that. The gold seat were because I cannot be left alone for too long. LOL I will get some better matching seats soon. Also need to make a parachute mount and mount it. Overall, I like how they came out for using what I had around.
  3. They came from the Foxy Box Chevy van kit. They are wrong for the car, but they work for the look.
  4. I built the Supernatural Impala myself. The fit, and finish was nothing like I am used to from AMT. I went a different direction with it. On a side note. When I hear Supernatural Impala, I think of the Callaway Supernatural Impala SS from the mid 90s. 1995 Callaway SuperNatural SS Was a Wilder Chevy Impala (caranddriver.com)
  5. Just got a email a couple days ago saying it was finally on it's way. got it yesterday. I have not opened the bags yet, but it looks to be very accurate. The box is bigger than the Charger R/T. It gives you two choices of wheels. Hub cap, or multi hole steel wheel with chrome poverty cap. Center console looks to be solid, and the shifter on the column. Something only a PPV car would have. Is it me or do Mobius, AMT, and Revell look like they are made in the same factory? Anyways, this is a much more detailed than AMT of old. If I did not know the manufacturer, I would say Revell or Mobius. AMT would not enter my mind. Kutos to them for stepping it up on these newer kits.
  6. I just got the Pursuit Charger from Autoworld yesterday. The box is bigger than the 2021 Charger. There is two wheel options. The base hubcap, and the multi hole steel wheel with poverty caps. The center console, and rear seat seem different as well. A lot of thought went into the kit. I will post pics later.
  7. Does anyone have an idea of actual release date on the Blazer? Everything I have read gives no idea of date.
  8. Thank you. I watch the shows enough, the builds seemed like a fun idea.
  9. I have been wanting to do this for some time. I used Testors enamel, and lacquer. I primed the General Mayhem and painted it red so I could sand the flat black down to the red, and mask off the engine compartment, and interior ceiling. Painted with flat black, added dents, and rust spots, hood painted brown, them star spangle blue and the hood scoop in Inca gold before sanding and applying a flat coat lacquer. Then I painted the roof of Blastphemi with pure gold Lacquer, followed by a couple coats of wet look lacquer. The lower was flat black with dull coat lacquer. the "BLASTPHEMI" decals came from Slixx Decals
  10. Bringing this back from the dead. I am doing this one, and General Mayhem, along with Project X.
  11. Mostly done. I like the way it came out. I really built it the way I had envisioned it 40+ years ago.
