Wow your GTO is just perfect a true muscle car classic.

Thanks for the kind comments guys and don't worry i will keep posting progress on this build. I have already chopped off the curved area under the hood one because it looks a little out of place and two so it will clear the exhaust. Yep the flathead V12 shore isn't stock, i don't think there is such a thing as a flathead V12 but i could be wrong.

Amazing work a super clean modern muscle car i love it.

I have been watching your build from the start and this Merc looks just amazing, my favorite area is the interior and that shifter knob i love it.

A few pics of my latest build, i chopped the top, sectioned the cab, lengthened front of the frame so i could fit the bigger engine in and lowered the front and rear suspension. The engine is a Ford flathead V12 with a front mounted supercharger and 3 old style injectors from an indy car engine. All comments welcome.

Outstanding paint job and one of the most creative i have ever seen i can't wait to see what you do for the running gear.

Great work on your rat i really like the engine detail.

This is the best looking super bird i have seen in years, the engine compartment detailing is very impressive, the interior is well detailed and very clean the paint is just perfect.

You and your daughter are doing nice work on the Corvette so far, it's nice to see young people getting into the hobby.

I have an old Unimat lathe from the 1960's, i have made many parts with it like pulleys and ignition coils. First tip i would start with Aluminum over metal or brass it's easier to use second choose your stock a little thicker and at least 40% longer than the part you want to create, the reason for the stock being thicker is you want to turn the stock down to size so you can reduce and get it as perfectly round as possible, put some stock in the machine and you will see what i mean by how out of round or wabble it has you will want to remove that wabble. After this it's a lot of practice but you will be amazed at how quick you will pick it up, i hope this helps, later i will post a pick of some of the parts i made if you like. you can also check a great site called mini-lathe .com awsome site for the beginner. The parts below were made for a 1/16 scale Mustang engine but the same can be done for 1/24 scale sorry for the bad pic first day with the new camera.

Awsome work on your future rat i really like the mix of old and new Tech it gives the car some attitude.

Wow those are some great pics of the Falcon i have been wanting to do a factory stock build of one of these cars, what year was the Mad Max car i may try an convert that over to a stock or street machine Falcon.

Outstanding work young man, i really like the two tone paint. I hope we will be seeing more models from you in the future.

Wow i am very impressed with your work so far that is one super clean Hot Rod that chassis looks amazing i will be watching your build wright to the finish.

Great work on your vette nice clen build and really like the blue wall tires nice touch.

Thanks Rudy, i think i have been weathering model cars on and of for about 3 years. This is the first time i have done the rust and peeling paint this way and it really wasn't to difficult to produce.

Thanks guys all these great comments have inspired me to build another one i think a 55 chevy rat, no offense taken Dan glad to have the info i book marked that one.

Great work on your Corvair i really love the color.

Thanks Daniel if it were human it would have an attitude problem. I like cars with attitude.

Great work a nice smooth clean build i really like the interior with all those little details.

Great weathering on your truck lots of rust i really like rust, used and abused just like all work trucks should be.

Awsome i didn't know Buick made an overhead valve straight 8 very cool and thanks for the info i guess my idea wasn't as original as i thought but i still had fun building it.

Thanks guys for all the great comments and i really like the toilet seat to, the engine is a Chevy overhead valve straight 8 and there is no such engine i converted it from the old Corvette blue flame 6.

I think your Thunderbolt looks great wired or not i to have this kit if mine comes out this clean i will be very happy.

I like it to it really has that vintage race car look nice clean build.
