  1. Thanks James, the frame has not been painted yet because i am not shure what color i will be using than i will weather it, the engine isn't even close to being finished still needs a few coats of rust, dirt and oil stains plus more details.
  2. Thanks so far the chair is my favorite part.
  3. I thought it was time for an update on the rat rod, i added the planks to the bed and a little weathering to both the engine and bed. this was my first try doing rusted body panels like this i hope it was effective, the interior still needs a few parts and more weathering but i did add the drivers seat let me know what you think, any and all comments welcome.
  4. Out standing Nova looks just like the real Baldwin Motion cars i used to see here on Long island, i live about 10 minutes from that shop before it closed and this build reminds me of all those Corvettes, Novas and Chevelles, once again great work.
  5. This car or truck or what ever it is looks like it rolled out of the GM factory they should have made this, great work.
  6. Wow your 54 Chevy gasser is awsome i like the weathering and all those samll details like the fuse box in the interior and all the wires in the engine compartment very cool.
  7. Thanks i will check them out.

    Junk yard

    Thanks Gary it was a fun build and i will try to improve on the next one which i am working on now i think it will be called the muscle car junk yard it will have 3 cars in it you may have seen the first one i posted in on the bench it's a Baldwin motion Camaro.
  9. I am not shore what it is either but it's different and to me that's cool, most important is that you enjoyed the build and if others like it that makes it even better.
  10. As i said i really like the way it came out and i just noticed the rubber behind the rear wheel wells gives it that just raced look very cool. i also built this kit and i messed up i glued the body on the chassis and forgot to put in the taillights you are not alone.
  11. Only one commnet it looks very good.
  12. Your Firebird looks great just like one of the street racers from my younger days with the cragar style wheels and traction bars i know i owned a 68 and 67, one small nit pick you have the lower front suspension on backwards the tab under the oil pan goes forward, it still looks great.

    Junk yard

    Here are a bunch of pics of my junk yard i finished it about a year ago it's my first and only diorama, it doesn't really tell a story but there are a lot of little details to see and it should keep you busy for a few minutes finding them. Any and all comments welcome and yes i know the spider is a little out of scale think of it as a large tarantula.
  18. Your Shelby build looks good i like the contrast of the black and blue stripes, i also checked out your website very nice.
  19. That's just to cool great work on your Merc wagon.
  20. Thanks guys, I prefer the early Shelby Mustangs as they were lighter in weight and handled better than the big block cars.
  21. Wow your truck is perfect, the color the interior the engine detail, i wouldn't change a thing.
  22. A very nice build and it has the correct name it is very smooth.
  23. Thanks guys you are correct it is 1/24 scale and not a bad kit for the old tooling, it was a fun build.
  24. I think it looks great and i really like the roof.
  25. A few pics of my Shelby Mustang i really love all of the Shelby cars, i finished this one about 6 months ago. The interior is mostly stock except for the seat belts which you can't see in the pics, most of the mods were under the hood like plug wires and looms valve cover breathers and scratch built air cleaner, fuel lines and a few other details. Any and all comments welcome.
