Did a bit more on the dash details, only two of the four gauges have anything that resembles detail, I may just end up with decals. Not sure. I also lowered the front end and in the process tried to make look like actual spindles, I think it looks ok. Decided to weather the exhaust a bit, rust things up. I think I'm going to make this look driven, as realistic is I can get it. Thinking about trying to make linkage for the 4 speed.

Did a bit more detail on the dash, some weathering on the exhaust and painted the engine/trans. Got carried away after moving the post for the front wheels, tried to make them look like actual spindles.

Didn't these save Chrysler? Probably the last drivable one in the northeast,lol. This one's at a garage, so maybe not.

Welcome Jerry, I love that bike. I build them 1:1. Is that an early shovel, or pan bottom end on that model. Love it either way.

Electrical fires are absolutely frightening, went through one as a child. Thought my mother was cooking something, asked, and just happened to lean on the wall and felt the heat. Luckily we didn't lose too much, could have been a lot worse. Good call on moving things out and cutting power, some tend to panic. Hopefully it's not major, that gets expensive.

That sounds like a nice truck. No obd2 deal with, fix it with a hammer simple. See if he bites at 10 grand.

On my yearly trip to a local motorcycle swap meet I managed to find 90% of what I needed for the two ironhead's in the garage. Everything was N.O.S. as well, none of Ted's parts are going on either bike if I can help it. Best part, less than a hundred bucks spent. Found spares for the kz, and brake pads for the old lady's s40, too.

That's it. Thank you again. My searching skills need work. Your gto is looking great ?.

What year is your honda? I've seen common rust out on the front subframe, passenger's side by the control arm mount and the body mount here in the northeast. Gotta love salt.

I was going to ask you how you went about doing this, after looking high and low for a tutorial I know that a saw. Thanks for the posting this.

Pretty interesting looking beetle. Looks better than the "ute" conversions I've seen on both new and old. Good call on the p.t. cruiser roof, perfect shape.

As someone who love all things mechanical, and vehicles especially on occasion I see something way out of the ordinary and I'm not talking car's or trucks. Like this ford tractor. I've also seen a diesel powered go-kart made from a lawn tractor. Anyone else appreciate this stuff?

Good to see someone keeping them on the road. I had a '90 gti when i was 19-20, probably the most fun I had with a stock vehicle. Those things just seemed to stick to the road. Slow cars driven fast= good time

I worked industrial maintenance for 13 years for a recycling company here in NY. Your story is all too common, big company buys up little guy, drives up the price, ect ect. I actually left that job due to the "corporate culture " I watched unfold in front of me. Seems like the mob ties may be gone, but the practices remain. Lol

Welcome William, there's a spot where you can post your mock-ups. Model a's make for some sweet street rods.

Welcome to the forum and back to the hobby Alex.

I've seen the bondo brand spot putty mentioned here, I assume a higher end glazing putty would work out the same, yes. I ask because I have a tube left over from my last motorcycle build, and I'm sure it has a shelf life.

I did as well. Pen tip stopped working, had to improvise. Thanks for the compliment.

I just looked your build up, very impressive. I like what you did for the stance, I may just steal that. I'm really trying to push my skills with this kit, the level I see a ton of you guys build to is unreal. Glad I picked this hobby back up.

A bit more progress on the interior, I'm impressed with the molotow ink pens. Never used them before.

Thank you again, this kit was bought already started, and has to be stripped of testors enamel that's been brushed on. That'll be a whole deal in itself I suppose. It is the only camaro I really like though.

This is good to know as I just picked up this kit myself. Thanks for the accidental heads up.

This car sits perfect on those steelies. I like it

I believe George Carlin had a bit about "Average intelligence ". Seeing people attempt things like this falls in line with what he said. Not to mention the fact of placing rescue personnel in the situation when the worst does happen. There's been some flooding over here due to the recent hurricane, I haven't yet seen any stories from it, I'm sure they exist. Luckily I'm a few hundred miles away in Ny

I shot my with cheap touch and tone primer that i decanted . It seems to do the job, mine is all craft paints and a thinner I mixed up. Even that was an experiment.
