  1. Nice work, looks very realistic, especially how "crispy" the chassis is and the bondo spot on the fender. The moss is a cool touch of realism as well.
  2. Just something I like to do with box stock exhaust, trimmed off all the "fat".
  3. Thanks. There's a lot of pearl in this paint. I think that "muddies" up the black a bit, and I shot it thin. Two light,one medium and one "heavy" coat.
  4. Lego surface gauge, great idea
  5. Six hours labor for a twenty dollar filter, plus the possibility of damaged panels/parts. That's how they get ya. My 2012 gmc doesn't even have a cabin filter, you gotta mod the heater box for the previous generations filter. Pay more for less in that situation.
  6. Going to pay attention to this one. Fantastic surgery so far. 👍👍
  7. Luckily my back's still in good shape,knock on wood. Neck and dominate hand/arm not so much. The chair should help.🤞
  8. The kid I worked with drank heavily, part culture,part coping I figured.
  9. Fantastic work especially considering the issues with warping. In the end it's a great looking Pontiac.👍👍
  10. I've gotta laugh, that's what I just replaced.
  11. Great looking amc.👍👍
  12. Not exactly model related, got a new chair for the workbench. Should be an improvement for long building sessions.
  13. Welcome to the forum, nice looking builds.
  14. Welcome to the forum
  15. Thanks Alex. I plan on detailing this interior a thoroughly as possible, I've already got P.E. belt buckles,just gotta dye the belts. Being a 1/24 scale kit, hopefully they look right, if not time to scratch build.
  16. Thanks Michael. I'm excited about this one.
  17. I can't wait to clear it, it looks really good wet. The interior looks slightly darker under led lighting, when I brought it outside I was surprised. Here's one of my reference pictures
  18. Now I know it's miata based. Thanks. That sherpa is awesome. I want one.
  19. Not entirely sure, might be. I was surprised to see it, mostly classics, a few exotics and tons of new corvettes around where I live. Those things are as common camry's here
  20. Anyone I have known that served and went through things are this way. I worked with a kid that did two tours in Afghanistan, didn't say much about it, you could tell something was right below the surface. He had a T.B.I. and P.T.S.D, medical discharge from the Marines.
  21. The wife and I were checking out yard sales, spotted this across the street.
  22. What I'm using as reference is exactly as you described, I've seen a few others with "stock-ish" interiors where the console,half the dash and seat backs and carpet were black, it looked pretty good. I like the oem look a bit more. Hopefully I can recreate it nicely. Thanks
  23. I think with all the rain we've gotten recently critters like that guy are making more of an appearance. I've been seeing a ton of toads, big ones, tree frogs and now that guy. He's living in the garden by my walkway, I saw them again this morning. Urban sprawl,climate change and all that has pushed a lot of animals away. But my deer are still around, they need to start paying rent.
