  1. Hello,

     

    I am trying to find someone to make me a few decals for a kit I'm building.  The kit if the 2017 ford gt lemans and I'm trying to replicate the new Holman moody livery from ford.  I have the paint job done but I'm not sure if there is anyone that can help me.

  2. IMG_20220123_162507507.thumb.jpg.f5ded0206866a16a57d09eb42255d53c.jpgOk so I decided to have a go at this model I picked up from wal mart.   It's a 41 Plymouth coupe that will become a Gasser.

    I started with making the suspension.  Upon further looking into it I noticed the front end didn't have the height I was looking for.

    I even robbed from my other kits.  The front end is from a 53 ford f100 as is the custom front bumpers that I'm turning into traction bars.

  3. Ok so been a little while since I updated.  Was on a cruise with my wife so I have had a chance to get back to some more work.

    I wasn't really happy with the outcome of the first rendition of the turbo headers.  So I did a lot of research for making them myself.  So I took a stab at them.  I'm liking the way this is going now.  Still need to shorten them to make them work with the rest of the idea I have in my head.

    This is what I'm trying to get the right look for the engine bay.

    I'm hoping to get around the the c notch soon.  But I may have to wait until sometime in the next year since we don't have a hobby shop within 1.5hours from me.  But we are getting a hobby lobby built in my town.  It won't be done until next year.  

  4. Ok guys I got the bug to do a full custom build.  I do plan on a c notch for the rear end and do as many custom touches I can.  I have started with the powerplant first.  I am using a 426 hemi from a different kit.  And was toying the idea of a big single turbo or going with twins.  I've also been toying the idea of a pikes peak style build, roll cage big back wing for down force that kinda thing.

     

    This was the start of the engine mock up

  5. Thank you guys.  The color was actually a rust oleum color I was going to use for the aftermarket wheels of my own car.  I think it's very close to a factory color.  I'm very happy with it.  Just have some fine tuning to do to it to finish it up.

  6. Hey guys I have been working on this 1968 Dodge charger for a while now.  It's not 100% done yet.  But it was my first model build in more than 10 years.  There is a few minor things I can do to finish it properly but I'm hoping my next one will be big time.  

     

    This is with the finish paint work.

  7. Hey guys my name is Chris.  I used to build model cars all the time but stopped for some time.  I have since gotten back into it and looking to build a full custom truck.  I just recently got finished with a all stock 68 charger.  

     

    I'm looking for as much info as I can in regards to making custom suspension and frame work for my new build and look forward to all the advice I can get from you guys.
