This one is basically the same as the black one, so I will just copy and paste from that thread: This is yet another build up of the Monogram 1/12 Z/28 kit, with alot of detail and scratch building added. My goal again was to create these as new from factory as you might see them on the showroom floor. The license plate, inspection sticker, registration, and dealer window sticker were all reduced versions of the real thing from 1969. The Model Car Garage photo-etch detail set was added. I also added brakes lines, wound springs, and aluminum exhaust tubing. I tried to simulate accurate labels and chalk markings on the firewall, exhaust, axle, and front and rear springs, as well as other spots on the chassis. "Lettering" was added to the ignition wires and heater hoses, and any other hose or wire I found on the engine that could use it. Simulated wood was painted on the dash, steering wheel, and center console with a very small brush. The interior was flocked for an accurate carpeted look. It was painted with many coats of color and clear lacquer (I forget how many, but ALOT), and then wet-sanded and rubbed out with three different grades of compound. Bare metal foil was used throughout. Also took some pics of them together:

Wow! Nice work! Now if we could just get Revell to offer some car kits to build around these engines.

Thanks everyone! The color on this one is Testors dark bronze metallic. It was a nice color to work with, and I am thinking of doing one of the new Challengers in this color.

Thanks everyone. Sorry, I forget the name of the color. I do know that it was Dupli Color touch up paint from a can though, with DupliColor clear.

Thanks everyone! The traction bars are from the Baldwin Motion kit from AMT, and the Cragars are from MRC. Thanks for the correction on the wheels Custom.

I know this kit is the kit everyone loves to hate, but I really like building it, and it looks pretty convincing in real life, IMO. I hope to build a couple more of these if get the chance.

This is the Revell 71 GTX kit with the Road Runner "strobe" decals. The paint is Testors Custom Lacquer with Duplicolor clear. The right side view mirror broke off just before taking these pictures. :frown:

Sorry I`m late posting these here. I posted these on the other boards.... didn`t mean to leave you guys out. First off, you guys will have to forgive the quality of these pictures. I just got a new camera, and am still trying to figure it out. Anyway, I wanted to build something that would make Al Gore and friends toss cookies. :lol2:. I built this one around the time of the election here in the states as sort of a protest project. It is basically a box stock build with the Cragar SST`s and traction bars added. The engine has some added detail, but nothing special. Paint is dupli-color. It is actually 99% complete, as I didn`t get around to putting the side view mirrors on.:icon16:

Yeah, you did a good job on the build. It looks much better than the box art! The kit itself is wrong in so many ways. I had an `81, and just of the bat, I can tell you that the hood/bumper line is completely wrong, the wheels are from a turbo trans am of the era, as you mention it shouldn`t have side marker lights in the rear, the fenders fents are from a 77-79 which you also mention, and everything else is all just generally out of proportion. It looks like you made the most of it though!

Thanks for all the kind words guys! I have been busy with the job, getting married, moving, etc. But hopefully I`ll be able to post some new work soon. I have quite a few projects in the works....just need more time....

Really, just different size electrical wires like you would find at Radio Shack or an electronics store. I`ve accumulated a few spools of different sizes over the years, which have come in handy.

Thanks! Yeah, I really wanted to make it today. I am serious about next month though. Let me know when, and I`ll put it on my calendar.

Thanls everyone for the kind words! Wow, thanks Ed! Comments like this are really motivational, and keeps me building.

Here is a picture of the interior:

I posted this in the big boyz forum, but thought I would post it here too. Yep. Just another one of these. I`ve built probably a half dozen of these or more so far. This one took about 6 months to build. The stinger is painted on, no decals used. There are probably about 10 coats of clear, wet-sanded and buffed. I added a period correct window sticker, and a correct "FM reception" label to the radio. I also scratch built the regulator and wiring on the driver`s side fender well. "Text" was added to the hoses and spark plug wires. The frame has accurate chalk markings. Let me know what you think!

I posted these in the general forum, but thought you guys may have missed them. And the forum is a little slow today, so I will try to wake things up. Here are my builds, which I have built over the past two years.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!! Hey Tonio...yeah you were one of the first ones I recognized!

Hi everyone. This is my first post to this forum. I was actually brought here from a link from another forum, and I see a couple familiar faces. Anyway, I have been building for about 25 years, and my favorite subjects are mainly muscle cars. I do alot of large scale work too. I have been so busy lately that I probably wont be posting too much, but I will be lurking! Looks like alot of interesting work here! Here are a couple of my most recent builds:
