  1. Thanks for sharing this. That altered looks wild.
  2. The gto I built had a few bad scratches in the windshield, caught a finger nail as well. Very fine sandpaper followed by Mcguire scratch x and finally novus polish. I had found a replacement online so I wasn't afraid of a mistake. I look at some mistakes, and the cost of making them as the cost of that education. I did everything by hand. No power tools. I actually tried the scratch x before sanding. That way i didn't go too far right from the start. Might be worth a shot.
  3. 100% agree. Michael's has clear acetate in the same thickness, 12x12 or 6x6 inch package.
  4. How "tattered "is the windshield? I've had success polishing out scratches, or is this cracked or glue melted?
  5. Nice work, welcome to the forum
  6. gnx had fender "cut outs," g.n's and regal did not.
  7. Not sure if the model has the dash plate with the serial number on it, that would have to go if so. Gauges were different, not sure how depth your build is
  8. Interesting video, when they were talking about the inlets shape slowing the air, I remembered the sr71 has a similar system for the same issue. Awesome technology on these machines. Thanks for sharing
  9. Cool looking wagon
  10. Same situation in my area, the two stores my wife and I visited looked like the L.A. riots had taken place.
  11. Great looking engine πŸ‘Œ. Those headers fantastic as well.
  12. That's a cool looking car. Those wheels look perfect on it. Nice work.
  13. Welcome to the forum.
  14. Those wheels look fantastic. Very nice work so far
  15. Thanks. I would like to get better shots of the interior when it's assembled but it's very dark and shadowed. And I'm horrible with photography.
  16. Fantastic work on the interior. Very clean work. Awesome color, and the decal finishes it perfectly. πŸ‘ πŸ‘
  17. Moving along nicely Gary. Good bit of scratch building you've got going on. I really like this little hotrod.
  18. Great idea. I'm horrible with pictures in general, and my most recent work in progress is very dark. Thanks.
  19. Start of a cool project,Lenny. πŸ‘
  20. Great work Michelle
  21. Thanks, it's been a fun build so far. I appreciate the compliment. Its been a learning curve with this one, and the hobby in general. I'd really like to try my hand at making something 100% in scale and "correct"at some point.
  22. Made some progress tonight now that I'm over the plague. Made a new windshield and back glass out of acetate , I did not like the way the kit pieces looked, too visible. The rear was mounted on the tiniest little lip, probably flash I neglected to clean up. But I worked and that widow is in. "Turned" some parts for a shifter on the dremel and made that, I still got to figure out a appropriate length. Dash is installed, so tomorrow the cab is done, I can get on to finishing all the work on the chassis and engine.
