heres mine very nice work on the model allready said before but it does look great

it steers just like a bike, by leaning into the turn as for the whitwalls, i was planning that at one point but then i started messing with the tires and next thing you know i had them gleud in allready thanks it be cool to see another one like this

got the headlight done today i remember a while ago someone posted a trick in the tips and tricks section on some little rhinestone sticker like objects he found at micheals which made great sidemarkers for the 69 chargers well, i found the ones and bought a sheet of clear ones to simulate projecter style headlights here is the result i havent fully decided if im going to leave the headlights as they are or if i am going to put a clear lens over it to sit flush with the rest of the nose what do you guys think ?

best scene out of the entire lot of them is when they are trying to beat the mopar (cant remember for sure but i wanna say it was a hemi chally) and they coulndt beat him without cheating

like i said in the other post if you are building a novelty item use a dispensable car dont go fubaring an icon thats what hondas are for

it is all those orange ones jumping creeks that made these cars almost non exitent and to then take such an iconic car and turn it into a novelty item tsk tsk tsk next time use a honda or some other dispensable econobox

sounds painfull about 10 years ago i crashed a dirtbike into a van and snapped my femur in half took me 6 months just to learn how to properly walk again i cant imagine how tough this is stupid question, did they get you a prostetic or put some weight in your shoes to make up for the lost toes? because the big toe is important for balance isnt it ?

not too late untill the due date as for the rest of yall, nice work on the progress

ive heard of people getting good result by cutting out the decal and putting it in a bowl of water (nice and deep) and when the decal lets go of the backing paper you get the tire and put it underneath the decal and then light both og them out of the water as one

i think i got a junker one laying around just say the word man

how bout one half of a VW bug engine ? you know the aircooled version sure, it would be a little underpowered but its just scale

i personally dont paint parts on the tree because when i take them off of the tree it would leave little marks that need to be touched up if i paint the seperate parts one by one or as a whole depends on what it is if i build an engine to look like a factory engine i have no problem putting it togehter and then painting it but if i want it to look like a race engine i paint the parts seperate so i dont have to try not to get paint on the block when im painting the heads and vice versa the body parts i generally tape together on the inside and then paint them as a whole, this way i get a uniform coat on all of it most of this stuff though is a matter of trying different ways and sticking with what works best for you

i did but all i seen was two cars and a buncha text maybe there was a link in there i missed ?

i use bondo glazing putty in a tube, the red stuff that dries in about 30 minutes i think i pay about 5-7 bucks per tube the only two issues ive found with this is that if you put it on to thick it will crack (which a thinner second coat wil hide) and it suck in the paint so it can be a hair tricky getting it sealed in nicely so that you can lay an even top coat

i remember driving down M21 between ada and lowell one day looking for houses and there was a barn on the side of the rod with a 1:1 dragster sitting on the roof your handywork ?

depending on your driving skills and how much HP your used to you just might put it THROUGH your wall

looking great except for one thing the engine looks like an engine should look after some years but the carpet looks brand new

you say poh-ta-toh i say poh-tah-toh

once i clear of the workbench i will start a comunity build project for winged warriors any car would be allowed as long as it was a period correct mopar and you put the wing on it only two exceptions...seeing how the charger and challenger were period correct and the newer models are based on those i would allow recent charger and challenger ASLONG as they have the wing

yes but having a lambo in yuor driveway doesnt show us your superglue skills having one on the wall DOES

so if i were to think of a car with an exhaust cut out where when the cut out is open it follows the stock exhaust to the rear tailpipes but with the cut out open it exits on the side ? now, that seems to make sense...even though i would STILL use iehter or, stock exhaust OR side pipes hey dont forget those spoilers are important that is the last thing to go through the drivers mind when he hits a tree at 25 MPH

i love those big wings if i ever get me my 74 roadrunner thats going on there

sounds an awefull lot like a brake system to me...all it does is ad weight and slow you down seems silly to me but OK

ok, look up on the top of the page, left hand side there is a model car magazine logo there with a red car by it now, is it just me or does that car have twin dual exhausts AND sidepipes ? thats like, six pipes for one car ? someone enlighten me

thanks for the kind works i kinda figured, since the nascars arent truely stock anyway this isnt that far fetched right ? it is coming along nicely though i think the last big project last on this build is the headlights once those are done it should be smooth sailing smooth sailing ? huh arent those famous last words ?
