Car Crazy 81

I got some paint on the Scout finally its painted Rust-Oleum "Metallic" Cobalt Blue with a Silver Basecoat. I also have the engine in place.

Heres a project that i just started on i got this one from forum member Casey in a trade. The plans so far is the kits 440 ci with the Six-Pack induction system and a 4-speed tranny. I'll keep ya'll posted on any updates.

Heres another movie car im building its the assassins car from the movie "Bullitt" i been wanting to do this one for a while i got the body in primer. The body is from a older Revell 69 Charger kit because it has the molded-in vinyl top which is gonna get textured.

Eleanor is back in primer again a fly landed on the fresh paint i laid on it i tried to repair it but that made matters worse so i stripped off the paint, cleaned it real good and primered the body. Jairus- Thanks for the info i did a some research on Eleanor according to wikipedia. Eleanor in fact started out as a 72 Fastback with a 302 ci. H.B Halicki secretly built a modified 351 ci Windsor engine with a 4 Barrel carb. The engine i used came from a Revell 65 Mustang Fastback which is a 289 ci but the 302 & 351 is identical this is the closest engine i could get in a kit thats close to a 351 Windsor. I got the dogdish wheels from Morgan Automotive Detail or known as M.A.D a nice quality set of resin wheels but i did a small modification i added a set of chrome lips from a set of Centerline wheels from a Monogram 70 Chevelle kit.

More Progress On The Vette I Changed The Wheels Which Came From A Revell 67 Chevelle I Find The Rallye Wheels Look Sexy On The Vette So Theyre Gonna On There For Good.

I Know This Model Has Been Built Many Of Times On This Forum I Figure I Give It A Try. Its A Revell Kit The Body Is From A New Revell 68 Charger. I Swapped The Bodies On The 68 & 69 Chargers I Have. The Wheels Came From The AMT Dukes Of Hazzard Kit. I Already Have The Frame Painted. I'll Keep Ya'll Posted.

I Got The New Frame Painted & Installed Which Came From A AMT 69 GTX. This Frame Looks Like It Was Made For This Kit AMT Should Have Used This Frame From The Get Go Instead Of That Sorry Excuse For A Frame. But Im Running Into A Snag With The Interior The Kits Interior Wont Fit I Had The Intentions Of Modifying The GTX's Interior Any Suggestions On That.

I Finally Got Eleanor Painted The Paint Is Krylon "Farm & Implement" Equipment Yellow Which Is The Closest Shade I Can Find To Match Eleanor's Paint. The Dogdish Wheels & The Flat Hood Is On Order Should Be Arriving Pretty Soon.

I Got The Frame Painted & The Suspension Glued In Place. The Front Suspenision Is From A Revell 41 Willys Street Rod Kit & The Rear Axle Is From A AMT 68 El Camino. I Got A 2nd Coat Of Primer On Her. It Should Be Ready For Paint Pretty Soon.

I Know This Is The Worse Kit In Captivity That AMT Released So Im Gonna Detail This One As Best As Possible. Im Converting This Once "Dukes Of Hazzard" Kit Into A Charger 500 Because Of The Rear Window Issue. The Wheels Came From A 69 GTX.

More Progress On The Scout I Filled In The Front Bumper Notch With Styrene And Filled In The Seams To Make Her Smooth, Added A Set Of Fender Extractors From A 79 Trans Am & I Fabbed A Roll Pan From A 86 El Camino Rear Bumper Which Was Trimmed To Fit The Scout And Filled The Seams. The Engine Is Gonna Be A 454 Ci From A 70 Chevelle.

Gary- I Wish It Was Finished But Its Not A Great Model Is Never Finished.

Heres Some Progress On An Old Build That I Started On In 2007 I Just Never Had The Courage To Finish It Until Now. What Ya'll Think.

Heres Some Progress I Shaved Everything On This One. I Modified The Rear Leaf Springs So She Can Sit Low But Im Still Figuring Out To Modify The Front. Also Im Still Deciding On The Paint I Want To Be Traditional On This Jewel I Originally Was Going For A Satin Black.

I Primered The Body In White To Find Any Imperfections That Was Missed. I Got The 327 In Place.

This Project Is Something Special For Sports Fans Im Building This One For My Sister Which Is A Huge Saints Fan So Im Building This One For Her. The Paint Is Gonna Be Black & Gold Paint Scheme.

I Finally Have The Frame The Way I Wanted Its A Little Tad Higher In The Back But Its Close What Ya'll Think.

The Camaro Is Finally Finished Except For The License Plates But Thats In The Works.

I Came Across This Idea When I Was At Wal-Mart I Went Over In The Crafts Section. I Found Some Heavy Chain That People Would Make A Necklace Out Of And For The Tie Downs I Found Some Eye Pins. And To Make Hooks I Found Some Lobster-Style Chain Clasps and 6 & 8 mm Spring Locks They Look Like Miniature Key Chains. I Bet Another Method Has Been Done Before I Figure I Would Pass This On. If Anybody Else Has Any Better Ideas Pass Them On.

Heres Some Progress On "Eleanor" I Installed An Engine Bay From A Junk Revell 69 Mustang For Detail Purposes It Was A Pain To Install It Took 2 Hours Of Cutting, Grinding, Sanding & Fitting But It Was Worth It Next Is The Engine Which I Plucked From A Revell 65 Mustang To Represent Eleanor's 351 Ci Windsor Engine. In Order To Do This I Have To Use The 65 Mustangs Motor Mounts To Remedy That Problem.

Heres Some Progress On The Vette.

Heres Some Progress On The Wagon
