  1. That’s a fine looking mopar great work on the engine bay details especially the carbs and wiring harness. Oh those wheels are awesome
  2. I wonder if they still have a file of the art work?
  3. Yes very interested I have a lot of potential trading material send me a personal email at Michael.elky234@gmail.com
  4. I would use the ford LN8000 race car hauler and the coke C 600 stake body . I already have the two axle trailers
  5. I would really like to but aside from the rough cost of nearly $200.- bucks for kits and supplies plus no present room to display . Not to even thinking about the build time . Their our no immediate plans to. I should probably think about purchasing the kits for that build while they are readily available.
  6. I just finished the paint jobs . It’s perfect fall dry weather painting days here.
  7. Here’s a couple pictures of a Willy’s pickup in my neighborhood the wheels are centered in the wheel wells. This truck has a small block Chevy with a tunnel ram and is street driven eighborhood
  8. Yeah the pin stripes really suck to put on I clear coated over them before I put the rest of the decals on. I forgot l had to shackle the rear spring mounts about even with the bottom of the gas tank. Good luck on your build
  9. I started with the amt 1968 Camaro. I cut the hood scoop off the grumpy’s Vega the front wheels are from the double dragster kit the rear s/s are from the old pro nova with amt slicks from the parts box .the headers are out of the pro street 1966 nova. The body is testors revering red lacquer with white enamel on the hood . The decals are from slixx. The pin stripe decals are really tough to get on with out them folding over on them selves. For a rather simple kit it came out good. Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  10. I built this in the early 90’s from the amt/ertl reissue using pro stock parts that were available at the time. The rear, shifter, seats,and slicks all came from the johan Sox & Martin cuda kit . While the tunnel ram and crager ss wheels were taken from the old pro nova . The paint is good old testors enamel with Fred cady decals along with various kit decals . The grump lump on the hood was made from sheet styrene. I would like to build a more detailed version using the muller era camaro with slixx decals but I doubt I’ll ever get around to it as I’ve got about a hundred kits ahead of it with more on the way. Plus this one has stood the test of time and still looks great on the shelf. Until next time thanks for looking. Mike
  11. The cricket comes to mind even Sox & Martin had one
  12. This is so cool I need to get them just for the box art alone
  13. Pretty neat I would have never have thought
  14. Looks awesome you put that body to good use
  15. This looks great Is this made from the original Shirley revell kit? She is one tough customer I got to see her in a match race against none other than big daddy don garlits at Englishtown. Talk about two hard racers they had it on kill every round. Thanks for bringing back some great memories
  16. Wow that’s a crazy amount of detail it looks amazing. What scale is it?
  17. They might do it like they did with the f-100’s different years with different options.
  18. That’s what I was hoping for as a stock version does nothing for me. However I’d be in for about five of these
  19. That paint job is fantastic and not easy to accomplish. Those custom decals look spot on to me. Did the cost a small fortune? Do you provide them reference photos and they size them to scale?
  20. I would highly recommend it although we’re probably increasing the demand for these charger snap kits. I wonder if Atlantis has the tooling.
  21. Jeff thanks for the picture that’s exactly what I have mind .
  22. Thanks Jeff since building this I’ve been thinking of looking for another snap charger kit and building a what if dick landy version . This was a really easy and fun kit bash project
  23. Thanks when I saw that monogram kit on line l thought you know that just might all work together
  24. I built this from a combination of the monogram of snap kit that I found on eBay for real cheap. I used the interior and the chassis plate along with the wheels and tires from the grumpy’s toy pro stock Vega . I cobbled together a small block mopar engine from my parts box I also used the tunnel ram and carburetors from the grumpy Vega the headers are fabricated from sauder and aluminum tubing.The only body modifications made were cutting out the side window panels that were behind the door windows and adding a hood scoop also from the grumpy Vega donor kit .the chassis plate also had to be cut and shortened I made the window net from some old window screen.At some point it the future I will have to go back and add the radiator . I gave it a testors paint job of white and red enamel with star spangled blue lacquer all topped off with wet look clear. The decals came from slixx. Overall this was a very easy kit bash project Until next time thanks for looking, Mike
  25. This has to be the most detailed build I’ve ever seen of this kit nice job.
