  1. I'm loving it..... Looks very much like what the "kids" around here are doing with late model stuff (Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers, etc) around here. A lot of the old guys my age don't like it, but I think it is awesome!
  2. A kitty from my past.... This was Baby. I fell in love with her literally the moment she was born ( the mother was my grandson's cat, which lived with us because his mother wouldn't let him have a pet). She loved to hang out in the hobby room and just watch. Sadly, she was very much in indoor/outdoor kitty, so when we moved into an apartment she was absolutely miserable staying strictly inside. With the help of our local shelter, we were able to find her a new home where she is free to roam the yard again. It really broke my heart to let her go, but it was what was best for her.
  3. Very cool.... Looks ready to stun on HOT ROD Magazine's Power Tour!!!!?
  4. Just plain ol nice!
  5. I keep coming back to this post.... Your little hot rod is nothing short of mind blowing!!!
  6. Still looking for this
  7. Actually, I had a girlfriend, back in the early 1980's, who's best friend had a little baby poop brown, 3-speed stick, Chevette that had to be one of the toughest little cars that I'd ever seen. Through snow, mud and everything else that car never missed a beat! As far as Chevettes "falling under the Yenko umbrella".... Only in my twisted little imagination.
  8. Am in need of fender unit, pickup box, and tailgate from any issues of the venerable REVELL '29 model A pickup.... Please help me make this project happen!
  9. Old AMT Gas Ronda Mustang funny car body. It has been stripped of paint and is extremely clean. No signs of ever having any glue put to it. All that is here is the body.... No trim, glass, etc. Also, a resin 1969 Torino funny car body. I think that it is a Competition Resins piece. Finally, one Altereds States Speed Sport T roadster resin body. I am looking for an Altered State Astra sports car body in trade.
  10. WOW.... So cool that I just want to hop in and take it for a drive!!!
  11. Love the use of a the subtle body color.... Diggin' the bid Ford modular powerplant as well!!!?
  12. No.... Was available as a pro street machine only.
  13. Update: Laid down a bit of color today... Tamiya PS-17 Metallic Green... Top insert will get a coat of Pearl White satin.
  14. What a great group of Falcons.... I am particularly drawn to the black fastback concept car (was that a resin body?), and the SOHC It To Me wagon..... Would also LOVE a closer look at the Valiant pickup on the shelf above the Falcons.
  15. Gone, but not forgotten.... Sold during my recent thinning of the herd.
  16. Wow... Just flat out WOW!!!!
  17. Don't have any reference pics, but you scored HUGE at $5.... I am jealous! ? I built one back in the mid-70's. Unfortunately it was among the 50 or so models that my little brother and his buddies absolutely trashed while I was at work one day.
  18. I know this is a huge long shot but..... I am in desperate need of an interior bucket, dashboard, and glass for a Johan Rebel. I received an unfinished project that was started by a club member who has passed away. I would really like to finish it in his honor
  19. LOL..... Yeah, the car that inspired me was, and I'm being kind here, extremely crude. But, it planted the idea in my head, of what if it was done right. ?
  20. I am seriously diggin' it!!!
  21. A simple little curbside build, that started out with a broken promo, while the Yenko Chevette concept was inspired by a car, that sat for sale, in front of a local storage facility several years ago... Now for the finished product.... Body mods were limited to molding in a cowl scoop, that was cultivated from a Revell 1/32 scale '69 Z 28 hood, while the rear spoiler is a narrowed Revell 1/25 '69 Z snap kit unit..... The stock Chevette front and rear bumpers were split down the center, narrowed, and tucked in closer to the body. New axle holes were drilled to mount big n little large diameter Corvette style Rally Wheels, sourced from a 1/32 scale Jada diecast. Paint is Testors Extreme Lacquer Icy Blue, cleared with Duplicolor 1K (Love that stuff)... Decals are a mix of Revell kit decals and a set of 1/32 scale slot car decals that I found on eBay. Interior features the custom bucket seats from an AMT Dodge D50 pickup kit, Corvette shifter, and a custom steering wheel from the parts box. Interior finish is Tamiya Light Blue Pearl.... Carpet is blue embossing powder..
  22. Very nicely done!!! To say that kit is a bit of a fussy build, would be an understatement for sure. I built an original IMC version, back in the late 80's. Never was happy with it.
  23. VERY nicely done!!!
  24. An older quick build that I did probably 15 or more years ago... Revell's Porsche Boxter snapper, dressed up with the big Torque Thrust style wheels from the Revell '63 Vette roadster, and painted with HOK Cinnamon lacquer froml Black Gold...
  25. Fan-FREAKIN-tastic!!! ?????? This is without a doubt the coolest build of that old MPC flip-nose kit that I ever recall seeing!
