  1. I can see the green now, that should of been a factory color tbh! Fantastic!!
  2. That looks like Tamiya Light Gunmetal .. it maybe the Tamiya Gunmetal. (I love those 2 colors.)
  3. This right here is why I buy 2-5 of certain kits. Plus later on I can barter for something else.
  4. Thanks, and I agree, the trim finish is next. (After I get my office reset up. Paintbooth and new table.)
  5. Such a wierd car in a cool way. Fantastic work man!
  6. The paint is flat black base and then top coat is a purple flake, not at home atm to get the actual color. When I get back I will find the exact color for you. The wheels were stolen from Foose Ford truck, that kit has some great parts. I wanted a full wheel well without it being .. not her taste so did the bigger wheel/tire option. I have to get her a display box, I am out doing some quilt store hunting with her, so maybe I can slip into a shop and get a display case.
  7. Thanks @mrmike I will do some digging!
  8. Thanks, I still have to add a few points of color on the Chevy Emblem, and the front turn signals.
  9. Great work! That would be an interesting kit to .. bash to a pro street/pro touring build. Hmmm....
  10. Clean, and very classic to the era of production. Well done sir!
  11. This was a build for the wife, once she gets a spot cleared in either her workshop or sewing room, it will go in there. I kit bashed 2 kits to pull this off. She picked all the paint colors, minus engine color, had to go with "ford" blue (I didn't have a blue that matched but it is blue so it's "ford" blue) I will build another of this as it's a fun kit, and had very little flash and the parts fit like they should.

    53 Chevy

    This was another fun kit. I didn't take any engine bay pics but it's a throwback to the weekend I-6 daul carb racer, yet good enough to drive daily. I have been a sucker for the 2 tone paint of the 50's and this was my first go. I learned a lot with this. On all 3 of my posts, the start to finish build time was roughly 8 years. Life has a way....
  13. My 72 Cutlass I built using the Pace Car Convertible Kit. This was my first shot at using plug wires and such. Body and Convertible top is paint by Tamiya, and interiour as well, with me doing some brush work using acrylic's. I bashed 3 kits to pull this off. I had times I felt overwhelmed with it. I have a few mistakes but nothing glaring with it.
  14. So far so good! The Green/Black set up looks great! Are you gonna paint the wheels to match the body or go with a polished aluminum look or chrome?
  15. I got the new table for my office bought and will soon set up the paint booth and paint racks. Still have to get good lighting on the work area. No actual kit work but got the table bought and will be doing office work next week.
  16. What color is that purple? I love it! Fantastic work!
  17. That was great work dude! The wheels and tires reminded me of a demo car I did when I was 16 lol. I was the pit guy and paint guy. I was horrid with the rattle can, and you nailed it!
  18. That is ... fantastic! Great work!
  19. Following this!
  20. That is flat wicked! Vettes from 53 to mid 90's are one of my favorites to build, and seeing this, gives me a couple ideas for a couple of the 60's I have in my stash.
  21. Nice work dude! I now have another kit to add to my stash. Seeing folks builds of stuff I don't have will be good reason for kit buying! (Just kidding, I don't need a reason lol)
  22. I really really like that. Color looks great!!
  23. I have this in my stash, and this is a great build!! I like the two tone instead of a solid color for the cab and bed.
  24. That is great!! The Cragars, the patina on the paint... and the fact you have a v8 in the engine bay makes such a sweet little sleeper! I was expecting to find the I-4. That is fantastic!!
