  1. I love it!!!!!
  2. Interesting.
  3. Very Nice!!!
  4. Very Handsome!!!!
  5. Oh it is done Tommy. I want to take some decent pictures of it so that I can post them on the board. It looks almost as good as yours!!!!!!
  6. That is some excellent work!!!! There was a one-to-one 2 door Jimmy at the shop where I get my truck serviced. It looked to be in pretty good shape. If only I had the cash, I would have snapped it up in a heartbeat.
  7. I wanted to make sure that the "superior" Revell parts (interior, front end with clear headlamps, chassis) would fit. You know I would not take the easy way out.
  8. In this photo, you can see where I made the cuts in the Revell and JoHan bodies and mated them together. It was a lot of cutting and pasting, and the finished model is well worth it. I am going to take better pictures of the completed build when I come back home on Monday.
  9. Sweet!!!!!
  10. That is a very nice build of one of my favorite drag cars. I have a dilapidated JoHan ;69 RR that I was going to scrap. Looking at this one made me change my mind.
  11. Stunning!!!
  12. I love it Tommy! I did one of those myself, which looks almost as good as yours.
  13. Personally, I have been very happy with the kits I bought from Mobieus. I have only completed one, the '69 Ford F100but the others I bought, I opened the box, checked them out, and put them back in the box, with no drama, with the exception of the '55 Chrysler C300, The Hudson, and the ;65 Satellite, Which I pre-built to check the fit, and there are no unpleasant surprises so far. All I have to di with these, is paint, polish and foil them to my satisfaction. I have most of their kits, which I am interested in, and plan to get the others when I can.
  14. The hound's-tooth cloth was only available with the custom interior trim on the '68 and '69 Camaro. In 1967, Cadillac offered a hound's-tooth cloth option for the Eldorado, called Dalmatian Cloth. Scale Motorsport has a very nice hound's-tooth pattern cloth in their interior decal line, which I have successfully used on several builds, and I highly recommend it. I used it on my '60 Chevy Impala Convertible.
  15. I would like to do the Black Arrow car as raced when Jenkins first got it according to my info. The "California Flash", and "Drag on Lady" would be nice too. I agree with Bill, where a '65 Super Stock Post Sedan would be a better seller. The kit as is pretty close. I have not bought one yet, as I still have several of the Lindberg '64's that I have not built, and a Mobieus Satellite ready for primer and paint.
  16. I am enjoying this build immensely. I have a '65 Plymouth convertible in the queue to be done too. I was planning on doing a Pace Car Replica, but since the car had Fury III emblems on it, I was able to get a promo bench seat interior, an d a JoHan 426 Wedge/Torqueflite for it. I am still leaning towards white, with a blue interior and Up Top.
  17. Magnificent!!!!
  18. Hey Bill, Richard Wilson in our club has cast a couple of polyhead engines for his use. He may have an extra one, if I do not beat you to it!!!!!
  19. I love this one too.
  20. I love it!!!!
  21. Very nice!!! I would love to see a real one like that one!!!!
  22. WOW!
  23. In my opinion, the absolute best rendition of the '63 thru '67 Corvette kits are the Revell '67's/ However, the Revell '63 Snappers are very good, lacking an engine, under hood, and chassis details, as they are curbside models. In my collection, I have a Historic Racing Miniatures Resin '63 Coupe, which is fantastic, as it has an excellent body and interior, the large fuel tank, a beautiful F.I. Unit on the 327, and accurate Aluminum Wheels with 2, and 3 prong Knockoffs. It is relatively expensive, but is well worth the money if you can get one, especially if you combine it with the VRM Corvette decals to do a Z06 Race Car.
  24. I will take a look tomorrow.
