  1. Ooo, I've seen that to. That must be hard to work with
  2. Thanks. The Pledge gives it a glossy but not super glossy look. It looks just like vinyl. FMC66
  3. I just heard from the Luka Cee Chanel review of the kit on YouTube that white was the rarest one, I also know that if it wasn't white it was probably orange and those were all in the Sox and Martin version. But that signed copy is awesome, never get rid of that kit.
  4. Nice 55 I dont have the nerve to part out kits just for the chassis but good work.
  5. This is a kit that I inherited from my Grandpa. In the lot of my dad's and Grandpa's cars that was sitting at my grandparents basement sense the late 90s. I found this (the tires are from the parts bin I just used them for a moch up (im missing those and one front wheel)). A plus about this car is that it was never painted. After doing some research it seams as though the molded in white version was the rarest (correct me if I'm wrong). But the decals were still there so I removed them with micro sol. The windows were a PAIN to get out the back was the easiest, the front took some prying and the drivers side a pillar came off with the windshield but some glue fixed that. I was also missing the rear axle so I used a Dana 60 rear end, I don't know what kit it came out of though. Here it is in primer. The interior was also missing the roll bar so I made one under the candle light(and heat?). I also sprayed it with rustoleum camo flat black and I'm planing on putting pledge on the dash, seats, and door cards for a vinyl look. Advice is welcome. Thanks for looking. FMO66
  6. Yeah, You wouldn't believe how many times i watched the movie or looked at references to get the car right.
  7. Thank's I appreciate it
  8. Hello guys, I just wanted to show you a little project I did over Christmas This is a replica of John Milner's 32 Ford duece coupe. It is a amt/ ertl or a mpc edition of the kit. I got it in a lot of 3 other built up 30s fords. I never liked how the wheels looked on this kit, so I traded them out for chrome reverses off of a 70s release revell 55 chevy (which I turned into a 2 lane blacktop 55). The engine is also from the revell 55, I don't know where the intake came from but I didn't have the correct scoops or carbs in the parts box (crazy I know) so I 3d printed them. The plug wires are thred from a sewing kit and the fuel lines are orthodontic rubber bands. The headers are made out of abs 3d printer filament and the exhaust is out of the spirit of 57 gasser shortened and bent over a candle. This is what it looked like when I got it from the lot(those wheels are really not accurate). Thanks for looking folks. FMO66
  9. That duece has a awesome stance. Ceep it up.
  10. I love those gassers! Your doing a great job. I look forward to seeing more. Here is some more reference photos taken at the goodguys heartland nationals.
  11. Hello, I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself. I got back into the hobby this past summer after building a cupple as a kid. Model building runs in my family, my dad and grandpa both built when they were kids. I have all of my dad's kits and 5 of my grandfather's from the 60s and 70s. I like building anything drag related (especially gassers). I love 50s and 60s hot rod, customs two. I'm looking forward to commenting on your awesome builds and posting my own. FMO66
