  1. I think it would be better to get a stock 64 Malibu instead
  2. Nice work looks just like the real one. I really like the front break discs . Thanks for posting
  3. Great looking gasser I really like the color you used, and your wheel and tire combo really make it.
  4. This build consists of the fantastic mpc grumpy’s toy pro stock Vega . The small block engine long block is from the amt 1970 Z-28 camaro. The paint color it testors metallic blue enamel topped with slixx decals. This magazine issue has a great reference article with color photos. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
  5. It looks like you built a real car. Super high level of detail and it looks fantastic
  6. Wow ! That is a stunning level of detail it looks like you photographed a real car very well done
  7. It looks great my first car was a 64 galaxie they are such a nice riding car. One of my all time favorites.
  8. I started building this something like 35 years ago. When mpc reissued the 1969 barracuda kit. I painted the body from this kit with testors champagne gold enamel topped with Fred cady decals. Both have been long discontinued. I started building a chassis from square stock , the 69 kit’s interior shell with the back part of the floor cut out , and some parts from the little red wagon kit. Then the project stalled. A couple of years ago I purchased a box of glue bomb hemi under glass parts the best part was the original 1969 box . Then last year I was able to purchase the even harder to find original 1968 box that included some more random pieces. I got my finished painted body out clear coated it then put together a chassis, and drivetrain of original hemi under glass parts. I was able to use the original back window glass from the original kit with the molded in hold down pins. I’m really happy with how it looks. Until next time thanks for looking, mike
  9. This project was a combination of a stock height resin cast 1933 Willy’s body from joe at Fremont Resin. It’s topped with testors orange enamel. I used the amt Ohio George 33 Willy’s gasser for my parts kit. The ford FE engine is from my parts box with custom made headers. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike
  10. That’s a great and very creative paint job. Nicely detailed chassis. The custom made decals are outstanding.
  11. Now that’s a ambitious project bench. It looks like you have the mopar market cornered.
  12. Yeah I kick my but for not getting more of them
  13. It will look really cool with white steel wheels
  14. Nice falcon one of my favorite kits it looks really good with the carburetors . All you need is a old ford wagon to tow it.
  15. It sure looks pretty on that matching ramp truck. Nice job ?
  16. I built this using the very good revell kit. The rear wheels are from revell’s thunderbolt. The white wall slicks are AMT . The headers are also AMT from the 62 bel air super stock kit. The decals came from MCW. Sadly I think they are no longer available.
  17. Yours looks fantastic. I built mine when it first came out. Using ferd caddy decals . When we still had local hobby shops in are area I was able to get it displayed in the hobby shop in the Montgomeryville mall . It stayed there until the store closed.
  18. Oh don’t let the pesky doors stop you I glued mine shut. Also I started mine sometime in the early 90’s and it sat for all these years because I was intimidated by the doors, and I was afraid I couldn’t get a smooth paint job. I’m very happy with how it turned out. Thanks for the nice complement
  19. I really like the lime green color it looks great on mavericks
  20. The fantastic revell hemi dart kit built out of the box with aftermarket decals by the glory years decals and graphics. Of Chris Walsh
  21. John you can get these decals from eBay seller teresawulf this is the listing Ed Sinistri ZORRO Chevy impala 1/24 scale NHRA Drag water slide decals. They are printed on a black background definitely not slixx quality, but they display ok .I built the Dick Harrell car about 12 years ago, I’ll have to clean it up and take some pictures of it . The decals for the Harrell car came from MCW, and unfortunately I think they are out of production. I have to agree this kit builds up really nice , but I ask myself why didn’t they tool up a see of headers for the drag version. As that was one of the first day two modifications we made to our cars. Those last 3 mopar builds you did were just outstanding.
  22. This is the revell kit built into a stocker with the headers coming out of the amt jimmy kit the front wheels are from my parts box. The decals were sourced from a eBay seller. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
  23. This is the iconic Lindburg kit built box stock finished in testors red enamel. It would be really neat if slixx would print a decal sheet with all the markings for all of the different versions. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
