  1. Here's all my complete pick-up builds. Lot's more waiting in the stash
  2. And someone saw fit to reverse engineer the Depth Charger too . I wonder how that sold. Just my opinion, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think there is more than one old Jo-Han kit that would get more interest and therefore generate a bit more revenue than that horrible thing.
  3. I remember when a stickerbomb was a loaded down station wagon with or without a camper in tow. Have YOU dug Wall Drug? Someone please define hellaflush?
  4. I built one of these a few years ago, it's a great kit. Front suspension is a little fiddly but I don't remember any snags during the build. I did replace the wheels with the Phantom Vicky kit wheels which uses the same tires but fit the look of the build a little better. I have some pics somewhere, I 'll post them if I run across them.
  5. Thanks for the kudos guys, I'm not getting emails when some one posts on here, so I'll answer the questions here What do we do with them? Well we sold one and delivered it to AZ. One got modified and backdated and I am trying to get the Rod Shop from a couple years ago set-up in my basement. But for the most part they usually end up against the wall in someones basement or garage......the Daytona dio is lying on a garage floor between a 65 El Camino and 60 Ford P/U for example. One of these days I want to put them all on here but I am pretty slow getting my post's together. Yes the pavement evolves with the wall As for listing all of our names, the other members wish to remain anonymous on forums due to a couple scares in the past....getting tracked down from their name (like could happen on here:) and having family threatened etc etc....nothing ever came of it but you never know with all you crazies out there....I mean, all the OTHER crazies LOL
  6. They also offered the 74(?) Barracuda in the HSO line
  7. Besides the problems your having it's looking really good. The interior is great. Keep plugging away, you'll get it done. BTW Iooks like the engine from Jimmy is a 4 cylinder versus the 6 from the Supra.....2 extra cylinders makes for a longer engine
  8. Cool, thanks Glen. That HK will do just fine.
  9. I love this kit...and it looks great in those colors.
  10. Excuse me for reposting a pic but that is one great looking Monaro. Is this still offered by Cavalier or is getting lucky on ebay my only option?
  11. Here's one built by a fellow club member a few years back. I don't have many details on the build but do know he used the correct color (which IIRCmight be a factory color ) and he's usually pretty insane with his research.
  12. Knocking over my Tenax was the reason I started using lids for this too, I've since switched to Tamiya. But the lids also work for Model Master jar paints, these in my pic are used for thinner and I usually have a paper towel stuffed down around the jar to wipe my brush on.
  13. Man, nice job with that. I can't tell you how many times I have passed up this kit, even at clearance price for some reason. Yours gives me enough idea's for it that won't put it back on the shelf the next time I see one.
  14. Furnace,water heater and plumbing look great. This is going to be an awesome Clark station.
  15. I re-built a gluebomb of one of these a few years ago, I love the detail you are adding
  16. At least he was teaching you proper usage
  17. Thanks, that 36 was my first rusted build. The IH was built by a fellow club member, but it is an out of production resin cab of unknown (by us anyway) origin.
  18. I got the grille and headlights detail painted this morning And the interior is pretty much done....just a couple of small details to take care of. On to the taillights, wheels and finish up the body
  19. Here ya go man? You can see why I had it in my head to use the BBS wheels(BTW they are not included in the kit). The body is pretty nice but the panel lines are shallow, I really wish I would have deepened them. The interior is fairly basic: Seats and console molded in the tub, no door panel detail, but the dash is nicely detailed with the gauges and such. Chassis is set up for and electric motor, not much detail to speak of there. The factory magnesium wheels have some excellent engraving on them. It will make a great shelf model. Thanks for all your wheel opinions. I'm still not 100% decided on what I am going to use and am still digging through my stash for more candidates.
  20. A few more My Grandpa built this Monza sort of like his 1:1 He also built this blurry 57 My 7 year old Daughters builds as of last year....she's added a couple more since then....treasures for sure
  21. A few of mine that I have pics ready.......My wife picked these up a couple of years ago. All mint unbuilt but missing instructions...........for the $3 she paid for each I can't complain Starting to wittle away at them Got this off the bay for cheap....mid 50's kit Dad used to work at a family friends DX Station in the late 60's so I was excited to get my mits on this....for cheap too Mom's friend had one of these cruising wagons in light blue, we used to ride around in it in the late late70's and into the early 80's....lots of great memories
  22. I know Pierce donated at least one...as I'm sure others did too...awesome gesture BTWcool build you got there
  23. Can't remember where I got this kit but I'm glad I picked it up. Must have been a good price cuz I'm kind of cheap. Hey, where you at in QC Nathan? My mom grew up in Moline, Dad across the river in IA by Eldridge....in the sticks.....and and they raised me just outside of D-port. Always good to hear from the hometown.
