  1. Good build. Well built and finished. I am hoping to build this kit to display next to the '66 Batmobile.
  2. The instructions call to use the chrome dropped front axle but there is a non-plated front axle right next to the rear differential half on the parts tree that is not mentioned in the instructions. Revell definitely needs to replace those lame 1980's wheels.
  3. Bought the latest reissue a few weeks ago. Looks like a good kit. There are extra suspension and engine parts not mentioned in the instructions though. I am hoping to build it similar to a Willys pickup I saw at a Goodguys show a couple of years back.
  4. I made throttle return springs by taking the wire out of an electric motor from a broken VCR and wrapping it around a small diameter drill bit and painting it the color I wanted.
  5. Thanks for pics.
  6. Good work. The wheels and tires work well with this car.
  7. Sweet rod. I wasn't aware they offered a '31 Ford coupe.
  8. As usual awesome work so far. I really dig the knobs. I can't wait to see the finished model.
  9. I wish I was there. Thanks for posting!
  10. Thanks for the nice pics.
  11. Thanks for the cool pics. The Modelhaus pics are especially useful.
  12. Nice pictures. Thanks.
  13. Cool Willys. Very authentic gasser details. Good work.

    Cool Merc. I really dig the color. I plan on using the same color on one of my projects.
  15. Excellent replica. Very well detailed. This car is the only good thing in an otherwise bad movie.
  16. Pretty cool. I also bought the 65 Chevy pickup to use with the open road camper.
  17. Last week at Michaels I found in the beading section wire that is about the same size as Detail Master's race car ignition wire. It feels and works the same as the Detail Master wire. It is called "bead landing" stringing wire. It is 26 gauge, black and comes in 30 yard packs. It sells for $3.49 for each pack and with the 50% off coupon it is an even better deal!
  18. As usual excellent job. I can't wait to see your next project!
  19. Cool build. I agree with Jeff, the slanted pillars definitely improves the model. Are those Modelhaus wheels?

    '64 Impala

    Nice build. I have always liked the silver body/red interior combo.
  21. Looks good. The black paint and white interior really go well together as do the tire and wheel combo.
  22. I prefer to buy discontinued kits at the swap meets. I only turn to ebay for stuff I can't find at the swap meet.
  23. Good tip. Thanks!
  24. Cool hot rod pickup. Good job on the weathering and detailing. I like the wheel and tire combo. The display base is a nice touch.
