  1. Sorry guys I'm waiting on a kit I won, it has the spoke rims and tires. Then I'll get back at this one.Still not sure on the interior?Not all that visible.So maybe just a hanging headliner and a couple of bench seats.Will see what the other kit has in it.Stay tuned.I'm still into it..lol
  2. Crazy Nice build doc.I whipped this up.I don't have any pyramid pics,sorry.
  3. Grafted the scoops from the vette also motor,seats and console.Here are some pics of mock up.Like I need another project.
  4. I like to spend the money I earn.That way the government doesn't get it.Can't take it with ya I know,but they ain't getting it either.More so now a days, but I don't trust banks at all($5 fee to use my $ come on).If you want spare money get rid of the credit and debit cards.I use soda can deposits for model money also.Pay your bills,yes,but be thrifty for your cause.I must add that my house makes less than $35,000 a yr.And we don't go without the basics It's amazing the amount of stuff we have on that income,yet I still complain now and again.Lucky or just a cheap skate?It also helps to have an under the table side gig or 2.I sell mower parts, I find in the fall and spring pick ups,a tire here a carb there.I got it for free, so I can charge what I want for it.My band money goes towards the model hobbie too.Scrap yards are a good source of income if your selling or buying.I just got a cool old rat rod-ish bicycle(American Flyer) for scrap rate$.20 a lb.,I'll post some pics of that in the bike post later.Keep an eye open for things others may need that way you have it if the conversation comes up.I just sold some 2x4's I got from work they thru out.All in all ,one mans junk helps another mans hobbie...Build on.
  5. Nice and old looking .I love the look very much.Great work.
  6. Cool build.Why the blue tape on the tires?j/w
  7. Nice work on the tires Nick.and the steering
  8. Funny,all the kits I've bought are the worst kits I've built....
  9. Nice,looks really good,But I think those tires will hold air they look fairly new,put some air in and drive it home...when the suns out.
  10. Nice work man.The motor looks very nice.Being in the north we have no choice but to love rust.I sometimes go to scrap yards to look (and pick) at the piles of beauty.
  11. Nice work Walt.I like the rear wheel openings.
  12. I hope the next one is the tractor trailer the bulls used ?This one is way cool,man.
  13. Thanks guys.Russ,by all means build away.don't forget to show me some pics,ok.Some progress .I made door handles and hinges and got a base color on it. thanks for taking the time to comment
  14. What I don't get is the paint flake scale debate?If the flake WAS in scale would you see it with 1:1 eyes?I know mine wouldn't.
  15. I love how it came out.Show stopper for sure.
  16. Harry,I'm working on a tutorial for your magazine on "How to make Heated Seats".
  17. That is correct sir.Good luck finding that kit.I may attempt to build the trunk tho.Ok,it's a fictitious build of a fictitious gun shop in a fictitious town in a fictitious time.And I'll bet real money I don't even finish it.lol.Chuck,,,keep that cabbage coming and Dr Rockso will get you what you need baby..
  18. This one is delivered on time I bet.
  19. Look at the pic I posted above ,I don't see any holes?Maybe a fraud,could be the angle of the pics I have or its been restored.Either way I can fix that pretty easy.lol.Thanks for the pic Dave.Got one of the other side?For the record the original wasn't chopped either .
  20. In the original car there are no through holes Dave.Got them through the glass.Weak bullets I guess back then??
  21. A couple pics of the bullet dents.Tried to get them in the same general area.If I can make some decals,they might be,Bonnie&Clyde Gun Shop.I also have a pic of the plate from the original car.First mistake out of the gate,Weld line not so straight. Miles to go on this one.
  22. That blue really is an eye grabber,nice work.
  23. Looking good thus far.Thats funny man ,some bulletholes...I always wanted this kit and still don't have it yet.Can't wait to see this one built.
  24. I'll try to keep it going Virgil.The interior has me worried but I'll figure something out.Christian,I really appreciate the interest.It does keep me motivated when others are involved or egging me on if you will .Looks like it's going to be B&C ride again,maybe a Bonnie and Clyde customs shop or salvage rig,cause I already added the bullet dents,came out better than I thought. Got a couple of things to do before I post an update sometime today.
  25. This one has a wow factor.Nice work.
