Car Crazy 81

Heres an update on the Catalina i'd finally have some paint on the body i'd used Testors Fiery Orange Metallic for the finish and it looks awesome im looking to get this one finished in time for this months club meeting on Monday.

Recent update on the 300 C i'd applied the first coat of Testors Inca Gold Metallic i ougha have it completed just in time for this months club meeting.

Heres an update on the GTO. I decided to modernize the interior by using the seats from a AMT 04 GTO kit the rear seat has been grafted into the kits interior tub. The body has been painted with Dupli-Color Dark Blue Metallic and added a set of Pegasas "T's" 19/23 inch to give it that Pro Touring look.

Can anyone tell me how can i convert my AMT 65 Pontiac 2+2 kit into a 66 Bonneville. A friend of mines had a 66 Bonneville that i wouldnt mind making a replica out of. I would appreciate any advice or tips to make this possible.

Heres a pic of Rughead's truck that im replicating.

Michelle- I'd sent you a PM about "The Wraith" Interceptor.

Another build from the movie "The Wraith" im looking to replicate Rugheads truck which is rarely seen in the movie. I'd started out with a MPC "Hardcastle & McCormick" GMC Pickup for this build and thanks to member ScaleCentral for sending me the fleetside bed to make this build possible.

I know theres not too many of these kits built so i'd figured i give it a shot. Member Dave Zinn inspired me to build a Citation so here goes. The color is gonna be Silver Metallic with the kits X-11 striping just like it shows on the box. I would like to ditch the kits 60 degree 2.8 liter and replace it with a 4.3 liter 90 degree engine. Im not sure how much work is involved. Any Suggestions!

I'd been tinkering with this build for a while. It was painted at one point which was a diaster. Im still contemplating on what color to paint it. The wheels & tires came from a AMT 57 300 C Custom since i wasnt impressed by the custom wheels that came in the kit.

I have a AMT 65 Pontiac 2+2 kit i would like to convert it into a 66 Bonneville. Can anybody tell me how can i convert this kit into a 66 Bonneville and how much work is involved. Any Suggestions!

I'd recieved a AMT 84 GMC Pickup fleetside bed from member ScaleCentral. Its going on my MPC Hardcastle & McCormick GMC P/U that had a stepside bed on it but wasnt cutting it for what im doing with it.

Matt- Thats a good idea what you have going. I jot down all the names & addresses of people i'd traded with in 1 subject notebook since i have limited space. I might have to use youre idea thats awesome.

Don- You can try some Medical Tape and it also works to replicate seat selts. I hope this helps.

I wanted to share this idea i'd been using since 2007. Since i'd started trading i like to keep track of all the people i'd traded with along with their mailing addresses in case i deal with that person again. Is this a good idea or a bad idea.

Great start on youre build,my friend i havent heard from you in a while.

Eric- Youre right i fact found both of those kits at Tuesday Morning thanks to my stepmom mentioning that they sold kits there so i went to check for myself and low and behold i found two kits they had three of each. For $9.99 it was too good to pass up. And i went to a car show that was in the parking lot right by Tuesday Morning what are the odds of that. Im going check again next week and see if they have some new kits since the store clerk told me that they get new kits every week.

I found the Lil Mixer & the 27 Model T Police Car does anybody know the history of these kits i was curious to find out. I know they recently reissued both kits. It would be a great help to find out when these kits were orignally introduced.

I went over to Tuesday Morning and found two kits for $9.99 each. I'd found a AMT Lil Mixer kit & a AMT 27 Ford Model T "Vintage Police Car" which are both reissued they were originally $24.95 a piece but who knew i got both for under 20 bucks.

Nice work on the Gremlin, Marc what color you had in mind for this build. I'll be watching this build just like the others on the forum.

Heres the pics from last nights club meeting. http://s239.photobucket.com/albums/ff189/lsufan70072/Flying%20Tigers%20Meetings/

Since the body was ready for paint i'd painted the cab, bed, tailgate & radiator support with Dupli-Color Cayman Green Metallic with a Silver Metallic base to brighten up the paint. Im 85 percent completed on this build.

Heres the latest on the Merc i'd painted the chassis pan, suspension & hood. A friend of mines scratchbuilt the hood sccop as a favor it saved the the headache to fab one myself.

I'd just got four kits in the mail today. AMT 65 Pontiac 2+2 AMT 80 Monte Carlo with Chopper Revell 81 Chevy Citation 3n1 Revell 86 Chevy Monte Carlo SS

Thomas- Nice work on the Mustang i see you have the LSU theme going on in that interior. The purple & yellow is state team colors.
