  1. Who does the hood? Im looking for a better one than the one i bought.
  2. well I started building the hinges and set my new wheels under it. I also added some color to gather a few ideas for painting it. I have a killer paint effect i used on my Rock Band guitar that turned out nice so Ill be using it here.
  3. Been messing with this project for a while now. Ive had a few different frames built for it but not happy with any of them. I decided to get this one back out and see what we could do. Wheels came from a porsche kit that i had gt1 racer i believe. Motovation will be a 4.6 mod motor from the 99 stang from revell. Might steal the chassis from it as well or build my own. Mock up pics to tease you guys with.
  4. I want to see more of the 2.3 its got a special place in my heart. Had a 77 stang with a modded 2.3 in it and a turbo fast ride.
  5. I use platic tubing for my hinges with a brass rod hinge itself. Might help in your problem. Nice work so far and have enjoyed reading it all.
  6. I left but not at 18 Im in a simalar situation cause the other half informed me of one on the way as well. but here is my bench as itll apper on sat.
  7. Mine is gonna be alright cause Ill install the front subframe after the floor pan is in just to be safe. I started with the baldwin motion version of the kit which had the d-80 rear spoiler. The front spoiler is a cut up kit piece and had some added to it. I picked up some wheels and rotors in Atlanta. I got calipers from Replicas and minitures of maryland from a buddy of mine. Got the irs unit out of the zr1 vette and with a few cuts itll fit. New pics tommorrow afternoon.
  8. So im tired of extra horrid gas milage on my daily driver. An 85 GMC S-15 Jimmy with a 350 in it. The holley has never been really worth a wood nickel and Im ready to replace it. Im using a diy ecm from Megasquirt. Its a kit form and you build it yourself. (They are sold preassembled) So I grabbed some pics from when I was building it and some of the stuff I have to bolt on. I will have full control of both fuel and ignition. Also getting rid of the big hei hanging out n the back of the motor as well with coil packs and crank trigger ignition. some pics and feel free to ask any questions. (CLICK PICS TO MAKE BIGGER)
  9. Ive got a 41 chevy truck kit guess I need another.......
  10. Looking good. Ive got mine back on the workbench. Have tried to test fit the chassis in the body like that? Mine didn't like trying to be test fitted like tat and put alot of stress on the rear filler panel. Just something to look out for. heres mine. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=26603&st=0&p=263980&hl=camaro&fromsearch=1&#entry263980
  11. Some older pics of mine. Its worse now. The monitor grew some to a 26 inch lcd. The rattle cans took over above it and the parts boxes are not full yet.
  12. This needs finished> Cant wait for updates.
  13. Brush work when it happens for me is Testors enamels, Tamiya Acrylics, or Model Master enamels. For rattle can is mostly duplicolor for me. Airbrush is what ever I need to spray but usually ppg dupount Nason etc. I have a line on mismatched and left overs from a few body shops in the area and I get my pick every once in a while.
  14. Let me see here I might finish 1 or 2 up this year but some that wont get finished that I have pics of. Road race inspired Pro touring Wagon conversion Extended Delivery.
  15. Pm sent to Len with my addy. I see suicide doors in the future....
  16. Was up there about a month ago. There is a ton of things to do from karts to museums and shows. Dollywood is a nice little park and extremely clean. Ripleys is cool as well. Haven't gotten to check out the rms titanic yet though. Might stop back through for the rod run while im on my way home from Bowling Green Ky this weekend.

  19. Ill use pandora and just give it an artist im in the mood for it does the rest. Before i sent my desk top to dads house i had 100gig of mp3s on it. Everything from Floyd and Zeppelin to Modern rock stations top 100. Disturbed Tool Aperfet Circle Tantric are all on the mp3 player.
  20. Heres some shots i took of my revell 57 chevy with all opening doors. Not a bad kit with some time but mines not done yet either.
  21. Been a while since ive done anything with this. I finally got the frame partly worked out rear suspension is almost done except for shocks. I built rear spindles from square stock drilled and sanded to get a nice looking piece. Started at the lower a arm mound and worked my way up saving the wheel mount for last. Using 1/16 round stock for my center pin that my wheel would attach to. Ill redrill the back of the spindle for the drive shaft.For the upper arm i took .050 solder and my needle nose flattened an end out and drilled with a 70 bit cause im using pins to attach everything. Had i cut the rear arms loose the suspension would work. heres a few pics of whats been done.
  22. I started with a very bad resin copy of it but yeah mines similar.
  23. The daily 85 GMC Jimmy mild 350 th350 duals all the way out looking for a body for it cause this ones got rust areas. The project truck is 83 S-10 350 th350 in the middle of being redone. Also have a 1975 Mark Twain Bowrider that Ill have water ready next summer. Has a 302 on it and if I get the funds will have ported heads a b303 cam and a performer rpm airdgap intake. Should scoot once im done.
  24. Ill have to look but I may have a pair of badges i dont need. looking good so far.
