Thx for all the great compliments fellas you touch me to the core.

this looks to be a really nice project.... Im gonna add my $0.02 cause you asked for it. I would use the stright 8 but add a modern twist to it. add a fuel injection system and mondern headers two sets so you can run duel exhaust pipes. Id go as far as scratchin up a supercharger or twin turbo with the intercooler right behind the radiator. Can be done! heck if you dont do it maybe I will....LOL! Just my thoughts on the subject. Have fun and cant wait to see what you do with it. Romell

Paint looks really nice! work ya magic bro shows us what you got!

Mind!! Are you kidding im flattered man! Its a great paint job, youre kickin butt on this build keep it up. I love that kit too by the way.

Job well done stwert keep up the good work

great save!!!

Oh ok I deleted it because like i said I didnt want ot highjack your thread. take care bro

Welcome to the forum Stewart I was wondering how these were comming I was following them on the other forum but I decieded to leave that place. Glad you came on over you'll like it here. good people and staff (the staff arent people here thier aliens LOL! J/K you probably dont remember me i was under the name Faultline over there, but Aftashox is my original name. you might remember my build tho. 67 Chevelle HotRod take care talk to ya later. Romell

OUTSTANDING!!!!! I love it bro its coming together really nice, better than nice cant wait to see it all together. Glad to see I didnt have to come get you off your backside this time LOL!

Mannyclub is a excellent modeller and all aroung good guy! he also has a fantastic BBC that can hold its own to many resin motors out there including Ross Gibson. I'll be using one of his motors in my next build project. You guys better get at him about one while the supplys last!

Excellent Build Mike!!

Thank You Ed im glad you were able to enjoy the process....

This is a 1974 mustang II I know because it was my very first car my mom gave it to me when I turned 16 she purchased it new off the showroom floor and we had it untill I trashed it a year after I took ownership. Anyway nuff said about me....your off to a great start and I cant wait to see what you do with it. I'd keep the hood cause it makes it look mean other than that do your thang my friend.

Wow Jim great job on that paint! looks really familiar just cant seem to put my finger on it LOL! I do agree with the others about the wheel choice though. I do have some of the California Wheels that came with my chevelle if you want them there yours, just let me know and I'll get em in the mail to ya. Keep up the outstanding work my friend. Romell

I believe that qualifies as a scratch build Steve (looks great by the way) and I dont think he was refering to you Shucky as we can clearly see you scratched yours out too great job you two!!!

Ive learned that if you put anything on top of Alclad it will turn it black or dull it. You may be able to use Pledge Future Im not sure as I havent tried it yet, but I was planing on it soon. as far as sending your parts out theres really no need to do that. I use Alclad to redo intire bumpers, crome trim, and small parts as well every chrome piece on my Chevelle build is Alclad. Just remember to lightly mist your parts dont do a full on spray and you'll get the chrome look your looking for. If you over spray you'll end up with a silver paint job. The trick to using Alclad is knowing when to stop, which is as soon as you see it start to look reflective. Also the bottle will tell you to let the black dry over nite, But I have gotten better results letting the black dry just 15-30 mins then I spray the chrome and then let it dry over nite. I hope this helps you. Romell

The next build is already rolling check it out "69 Nova Twisted Insomniac"

Hey thx for the compliments, the shifter is scratch built. And welcome to the forums!

ummm whos MJ ?

I would do it myself john but im going down two days before(the wife and i are celebrating out aniversary) but I do have a friend thats going down I'll see if he has any extra room and I'll get back to ya.

Ive been building for close to 38 years and I have less than 30 models unbuilt most are parts kits, a few are in-line for building and those that I dont have plans for I will sell or give away. You see im a builder not a collector, I believe an unbuilt model is just a box of plastic collecting dust. The real value is in the creation of the art that comes from those plastic parts. So I dont collect a bunch of models just to say "oh I have that one" no when I want it I'll find it somewhere then it will get built, I dont care how old or rare it is,if i buy it im building it!

Extraordinary!!!!!

Brain you must be driving your mobile moonshine facility again LOL! J/K great job on this one Danno ol boy. Im gonna be working on a CHP charger with working flashers

Thanks Niko For your most sincere comment about my build, And thx to the rest of the gang for hanging out with me as I built this. I hope you join me for the next wild ride.

Hey just want to add my two cents here, youre going about making that exhaust the hard way if you want to make it metal just use solder which can be found at you LHS, RadioShak, Walmart etc.... You see the solder bends really well and once you have the shape you want you can even polish it. heres a link to the headers I made for my chevelle build just scroll down the page a bit. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31030&st=60
