  1. I love everything about it , the fuel tank mount , the early hemi , the silver/blue paint, the 12 spoke, and rear steel wheels, the headers, the lettering , the perfect stance . It’s all period correct. Thanks for building it.
  2. They look great. I have great memories of building the black magic Vega when I was a kid with dad’s help of course. I also remember the kit flaking off the unpainted molded in black body.
  3. Well done with a great attitude
  4. I built this with a mix of the most recent amt release, revell’s hemi dart , the wheels are nos johan Fentons , the tunnel ram is from the amt pro street 66 nova, the hood scoop is a comp . Resin, tamyia bright red paint, and slixx decals. For some dumb reason slixx didn’t include the white hood stripe so I had to get a second sheet so that they would match the hood and deck lid . Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
  5. Wow looks great the vinyl decals look really thin in the pictures
  6. This one is out of the box amt with the exception of the wheels which are are the revell thunderbolt. The paint is testors enamel with smp decals. These 62 Pontiacs are a nice easy building kit. There are a lot of different aftermarket decal options available. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike
  7. Nice clean work it looks great from any angle.
  8. Scott all impala’s had this roof line in 1962 the bubble top was only in the belair trim level. It is the kit body by revell.
  9. This is the revell kit with a couple of suspension mods to improve the stance, and headers from amt’s 65 chevelle wagon kit . Decals by Lucas. Which are unfortunately no longer available. Until next time thanks for looking ?. Mike
  10. Getting something from moebius is like waiting for the slow boat from china . I’ve been waiting for the 1965 cornets for like over a year now .
  11. This is a box stock revell kit with aftermarket decals .
  12. Somehow it got lost to time. Thanks for the comments
  13. I’m not so sure round two has showed us that with 3-D imaging anything is possible. I have a mint dyno don kit and or Eddie Shartman maverick I would send them if it would expedite the process.
  14. Looks great really nice paint lines. That kit is at the top of my list to see reissued .
  15. These two Willy’s started out as late 80’s ertl amt reissues that I turned into to glue bombs . I originally built one as Stone Woods and Cooke and one as mazmanian . Twenty eight years later I took them apart and started over. After reading a really good article in the rodders journal about the s&s team . I used the small block Chevy engines , and back wheels from the double dragster kit the hood scoops came from the amt 37 Chevy kit . I chose tamyia bright red for the color and slixx provided the decals. Body work comprised of cutting the hood away from fenders . Then attaching than to lower fender extensions of the body. This is relatively easy thing to do and it makes it a much better looking model . In most ways the revell willys is a better kit, but I already had these amt kits that needed to be saved . they are really great kits with all of the right speed parts. Thanks for looking ? , Mike
  16. Great looking 57 Chevy thanks for posting
  17. Yes indeed and their bodies were the most accurate. Thank you
  18. This is a box stock mpc kit with aftermarket decals. This kit really builds up into a nice looking funny car. It would be cool to see it ressiued with the clear body parts. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike
  19. I don’t know if it’s just me, but it seems like more people build door cars than dragsters and altereds . That’s me included though it may be a shifting demographic in age
  20. Wow what a great level of detail and talent ! Building pro mods is so out of my wheelhouse. But I loved watching them run at ATCO’S night of thrills some really great memories there
  21. What’s not to love here let’s start with the ram tube intake , the headers, the hand mixed paint, hand lettering, spot on body mod’s, detailed chassis, and everything else. It’s just so bitchin . Great work!
  22. It came out really nice those headers can be a real pain in the neck. I can remember when that kit was reissued in the early nineties. I was in my early twenties I went completely nuts , and bought 10 of them
  23. If you don’t already have one good luck getting the revell Sox & Martin kit they’re way too pricey for being a pretty current release. I think the decals are available from Billy gooche while I’m not positive I think his daughter still prints them out
  24. I got the decals on eBay . Just search yesteryear decals
  25. I got this as a started work in progress the body was already painted and decaled so I don’t have much information on the colors or decal maker. Although I think at one time you could get them from Billy gooche. The kit is the johan Sox & Martin kit with resin cast slotted wheels. Other wise it’s all out of the box. Being that I didn’t have to mess with the body this made for a nice easy build. Until next time thanks for looking ?, Mike
