  1. Thanks for the comments guys. Paint wasn't all the best but, a little polishing and it didn't look to bad for the first time using Krylon. I could have polished some more but ,figured the decals would cover some of it.
  2. While trying to work during the day, help with home schooling the kiddos in the evenings, I've been working on decals on this. Revell kit, Powerslide Decals. First time using Krylon paints, Sun Yellow and Brilliant Blue. Never built a Wrangler car before so I figured it was about time.
  3. Looks great. Great paint work. I need to build this one some day.
  4. I saw the 1986 Richmond race but missed this one. Is there a place that shows what and when they are showing of the older races? 86 Richmond was the best race I had seen in decades.
  5. Quick mock up
  6. Slow progress between homeschooling and trying to work yet with everything going on in the world. Found a pair of big block Cobra valve covers that seem to fit the heads of the Trumpeter small block 289. Some paint work on the floor pan
  7. Look at "Diamonds are Forever". Bond drove a Red Mustang and the Police cars where Fords so this would be correct for Round2 to do.
  8. Kinda been thinking about the wheels out of the Revell Shelby Cobra kit but haven't been able to place my hands on a set of them.
  9. But I also thought about and dug alittle deeper and found some 1968 Shelby Mustang wheels
  10. Went searching for some wheels and tires and came up with these for now. Havent decided fully yet though.
  11. I'm figuring just a simple stock appearing black interior. Engine, my kit came with the stock single carb and the custom triple deuce carb setup, going with the triple deuces.
  12. Took advantage of being slow at work and the nice weather we have been having in Maryland and got my 65 Ranchero out. Filled the wrong gas filler door on the passenger side and primed and painted it. Tamiya White Primer with Scale Finishes Chevy Butternut Yellow. The small block Ford looks a bit big in the kit. The 5 spoke wheels need some depth to them to look better in opinion so gonna have to dig out some other wheels
  13. Making slow progress. Working on interior
  14. I'm liking this wheel comb much better. Was just thinking about some different but I didn't like the larger wheels
  15. I'm liking this much better. A little bit of Jet Exhaust paint on the spokes
  16. Although the Chevy Rallyes are a nice looking combo but, around here everyone with a classic Chevy has put them on their cars. I think they are over done. Just went looking through my stash and came up with a set of 5 spoke mags from the latest 55 Cameo. Think I'll use them with some Polyglas white letters
  17. After dealing with helping my Father with taking care of my Grandmother and ultimately passing the past 3 weeks and taking a break from my 55 Nomad build, thought I might get this back out to work on some. Got some chassis work completed. Still toying around with my wheel choice. Just not 100% sold on them yet.
  18. Got my 2 kits from Southern Motorsports Hobbies today. Opened both of them and they look great. First of many of these I hope to get. Would love to see a Coronet now.
  19. I like the kit. It builds up nicely I think. I have built 2 so far - 1 Beswick and 1 stock
  20. Yes, I'm going to use Tamiya Pearl White but thinking Tamiya Champagne Gold roof (not an exact match though). I never heard of them until I started watching Bitchin' Rides on Motortrend TV. Seen this Nomad on one episode and really liked the look of it.
  21. This is will be a slow project. I have it at my desk at work for slow periods. Not sure how well it will go but, I'll try. This is my take on the Kindig It Designs 1955 Nomad. I have the flowing kits to use AMT 1955 Nomad, AMT 39 Chevy Wagon Rod and thought about the Revell 2010 Camaro for engine but I think I might just wind up using the Wagon Rod engine for ease. Chassis/axle from the Wagon Rod would not drop in, to wide in the rear, front width is ok. Thought I would try my hand at fabbing a chassis.I started by looking for chassis diagrams and scaled then and printed them out to lay and cut my rectangular plastic to build the frame. I am using the snout of the Wagon Rod chassis to be able to use the suspension pieces and will be using the rear axle and bars for the rear. I have a set of Chrome Suey Wheels from Pegasus to use. I am able to use the rear tires out of the Wagon Rad kit without modification but the front I had to cut the extra ring out on the hole in the tire and stretch them over the wheels just a little bit.
