This will be my 1st show-attendee/participant. What's the best way to display a model? Are there rules? Dos/Dont's?

All primed up and ready for some color tomorrow. Got a new sticker for the paint racks.

Working on the stance. I could go lower, but it wouldn't be believable

I have the ground effects curing in place. I'm going to cut and form another piece of clear styrene. What's the trick to bending and avoiding white marks in the bend?

I'll remove the "header flanges" after the cement cures. I've got the exhaust fitted to the "427" manifolds.

It's a circuit board holder. You might can put 2 together to be long enough.

Lookin Good

Construction has begun.....

Like I need another WIP 🤔 While in wait mode for parts, I started this guy. I'm going to try and take 2 builds to the show next month. '69 ZL 1 in Fathom green with an aluminum 427 and a 4 speed.

Hope to have another kit tomorrow. I'm shooting to get this girl in primer and paint next week.

Awesome start! It will be sharp with the silver stripes over that blue.

This box is big and heavy!

Anyone else receive theirs?

Well BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH. I used 5 minute epoxy to attach the Tupperware parts and one piece peeled off today. Hmph. I tested another one and it peeled off too. Speed i took all of it off and sanded the body and parts, then washed everything. While rinsing one piece floated out of my hand and right down the drain 😳 I pulled the trap in hopes of it being there, but it's gone.

Good Luck and have Fun!

I think by removing the lower trim, and adding an upper piece you could break up the profile some.

Someone mentioned moving the trim on the side. I just doodled on my phone, as I'm curious about the trim on the Hudson I have in the works. I am in no way, shape, or form, considered an "artist". I can't draw a stick figure.

Did someone say Carolina BBQ????? Love some smoked Brisket!!!!! Eastern style or Western style sauce? Neither! If you cook it correctly you don't need it! Loving this build Dude! The tail lights are KILLER! May I inquire about the brand body filler you're using?

Beautiful Build! The details are AWESOME! I'm sure he will cherish it!

I hit the go button before these loaded. 20140603_201837.mp4

Yep, electroluminescence. It's a phosphorus paint that reacts to high voltage(230v ac) and is absolutely beautiful at night. Hideaway Headlights(I make my living rebuilding/restoring headlight motors and wiper motors, etc www.headlightmotorman.com)

Thank You. No, mine is a '67. '66s have the full length console. It's a 383 4 speed car. I've had her for 35 years.

I like the wide/narrow look on a muscle car. I run 255/60 15 on the rear and 235/60 15 on the front of my 1:1 car. I can put 275/60s on the rear with no modifications, I just need wider rims.
