  1. car looks great! love the color! is this a baldwin motion camaro?
  2. its good. curbside means gluing the hood shut..no motor or chassis detail. mainly interior and body..
  3. well..i wanted to do a quick build of a mild street tuck..lowered with custom paint.. to get rid of my builders block on my 454SS..well..i just could not help my self. i started with a 99 silveado kit..and well..the rest..u will enjoy. stock truck well..then i cut out the b pillar..and decided to lengthen the door. decided to cut the door out..didnt want a full door..so i ran up the a-arm a bit..and gonna shave the rest now..it looked good..but not good enough..it needed something else..to really let the full open windows and long doors get tht..uniqueness i was looking for...soooo...chop top
  4. thanx. and hmm...i was thinking the same think last nite! lol..i guess it now officially has a name. thanx bro. yea..she didnt like the colors at home..so we went to wal-mart and picked out a couple of cans of krylon..and she fell in love with the watermelo..i did my chevelle blue and she wanted her top blue. so here we are. and yea..shes gotten good fast! scares me a lil..lol. but yes..we painted them all up last nite..let them dry..and tonite we we build it..so i'll have some under glass pics tonite.
  5. well..shes at it again! this time its AMT's 62 Bel Air. so far shes got it all painted up..interior has carpet..and this time i got her some pinstriping tape and he lines came out alot better! enjoy! any and all comments welcome!
  6. you can count me in as well.
  7. hey guys. well..got some updates on my entry..i didnt kno if lowrider is a style u guys frown upon on here? (build what you like) but im a true car guy all around..and make model and style interests me. i build it all..so here it is..it has an adjustable suspension. still need to build cylinders..but its mostly done. also started plumbing the hydro-pumps. enjoy. (sorry the car is so dusty. been sitting for a while. had a builders block.)
  8. haha..yea..im thinkin about just using the glass and puttin some plastic behind it..but..i was also thinking of making a windshield frame..but i am unsure. first time opening doors up. lol. and yea..it probably would..i got the idea from a bunch of trucks at a recent car show..the trucks are done by HILLS HOTRODS..and they have amazing interior work! thanx for all the kind words. and its going to be like this
  9. heres what i got done on the truck so far today.. cut out the doors. and got a custom interior started. thanx for looking. any and all comments welcome.
  10. thanx bro! i'll be sure to let her kno. and yea..i was kind of afraid to tell her at first. lol..i didnt kno what she'd think. but she liked it. **repost**
  11. enjoy. and from now on i will give moe details on things. just posting up wht got deleted. enjoy. any and all comments welcome. thanx!
  12. yea..sorry guys. did some updates to my photo bucket. heres recent pics.
  13. got a little done to the truck last nite. i made a hinge for the bed cover..and put a swing stand on it..although..it looks a little thick now..i may remake it..let me kno what you guys think. im also thinking about sending this to someone to get painted. im afraid after all this work to do it with rattle cans..and get dirt in it..because i dnt have a booth. let me know whats up guys. thanx for looking..any and all comments welcome.
  14. just test fitting everything. what do you guys think so far?
  15. did some work on the truck. i used the body of a pen. (thanx dropped@birth for the idea) and i capped the ends with styrene. i drilled a small hole in the bottom and put in a saringe (spell check. lol) i heated up the cap ends then added pressure to bubble it out. now..add some putty and smooth. now i gt an air tank.
  16. kool. yea..it came with some ugly 24 inch rims with skinny tires. she did not like them at all. (good girl) so i let her have the ones off my camaro. needless to say..i am very proud of her.
  17. kool. yea..the kit came with some ugly 24 inch rims and skinny tires. looked ridiculous. so i gave her the ones off my camaro.
  18. here ae some of mine. 1982 el camino conquista 1990 454SS 1982 Silverado step-side with 502 BBC 1982 Camaro Indy 500 special edition pace car
  19. sure are! a guy on here told me about them. they are of the 1/32 scale jada toys 68 camaro. original rally look..but bigger. i really liked how they looked on his chevelle..and i saw the car at wal mart for 4.95. (cheap considering the t's ran me 13 bux) so i pikd iit up n scrapped it. and thanx! i had some aluminum tubing left over..and some of the pro touring/hot rod guys make stiff aluminum tubing radiator hoses..so thts where tht came from.
  20. thanx! imt hinking of using the on a 69 el camino instead now! but thanks for the kind words! just trying to keep up with some of the big guys!
  21. thanx for the kind words! yea..i was thinking the same thing..the front too but esp the rear..but i have noo idea where to get some bigger tires from. any ideas wuld help greatly!
  22. well..got a lil work done to the chevelle. i was at wal-mart and saw the 1/32 scale jada camaros. and they had these wheels on them..i just had to trade out the pegasus t's for the rallies. in my opinion it looks much better. used the motor i was originally gunna use on my truck on this..and put some aluminum radiator hoses. hood has to be dipped and repainted. well..enjoy! thanx for looking! any and all comments welcome!
  23. thanx. ill let her kno. thanx! she did a great job! i was very impressed. especially first time using rattle cans and masking tape. she just picked up some of my spray cans we had in the garage..and she really like the red and black combo. and yes..we went to hastings..and i had no idea they had models! i just saw them there..and they were on sale for 5 bux. i suggested she build it..and she liked the idea. i let her have the blower from my chevelle and ims off the new camaro because she didnt like a plain motor or the rims it had. and it came out well. she really wants to continue. next shes building a 72 elcamino.
  24. thanx guys! i'll let her kno! and srry..i forgot to get some of her making it..i will next one..because she really wants to continue! and yea..i agreed. but she thot it would look better. and it's her car..(she runs things) lol.
