Well thats what dad wanted he cant build hinges so I get left the hard part lol. His ideas for this is wild. Ive lost several kits to him on this already. I just got to find a 53 ford somewhere for the donor.

Nice work Ive got one on the bench to finish. I loike how you told us what kits the parts are from.

hinges done.

All of them look awesome. The 53 ford is sharp for sure.

Well I completed 4 this year. 3 Nascars and a custom. 94 Jimmy Spencer T-bird. Used 93 revell kit. Built on the job when I was a limo driver. 92/93 Harry Gant Lumina. box build to freshen some skills. Davey Allison 89' T-bird. Learning some stuff with a new paint. 1939 Chevy Panel Custom 57 quarters dupont paint Tell me what ya think about em.

I love duplicolor for the same reasons. nice work on the amt nova those things were a pain but looked great when done.

Id be willing to speak that this is just a build to learn on that turned out to be a killer build. Yep its ugly but theres to much awesome on the tables. Gotta be seen some how and ugly gets attention.

worst i drove in the winter 82 s-10 swb 305 with th350 hated cold weather no heat and did move in the winter. 89 s-10 blazer 350 th350 has heat but suffers from wont hook syndrome year round. best 83 s-10 4x4 2.8 5 speed un killable was rough as .... but did what was required when it counted.

Wonder what the quality is like on that considering whats been said buyer beware. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...ic=6130&hl=

looking good so far. I was worried about the extra rear length but i like it.

I like it. Looking great.

Theres one of Eric's 53 Fords sitting on the bench awaiting for door hinges. Excellent quality casting for sure.

Spent time working on the chassis tonight. The idea I had of making the chassis the lower a-arm mount points was great but it didnt work out in the end. I realizes that there just isnt enough strength to make it feasable. Ill start over again tomorrow and Ill add a-arm from channel or sheet stock. I do plan on the suspension having a little travel in it. Front will be easy except for the working scratchbuilt rack. Pics when I get awake in the morning of the frame attempt.

Im in 69 Corvair. Gonna build it along side the beatle probaly gonna experiment on it. Ive got a vette that may very well donate some drive train.

one word... Awesome.

Thnaks Billy. I had the wild idea when I was in high school and I finally got it done in March. It grabs attention from a distance and then keeps it up close.

What brand and paint code is that. Id like to use it on one of my current projects.

This is AMT's Wagon Rod that I added 57 Chevy quarters to. Opened the doors and hinged the hood suicide. added a balsa wood bed and scratchbuilt the dash. the wheels are from Revell's Enzo kit. Photo etch rotors, dash guages, and throttle linkage. Interior is done in a blue quilt binding using a method similar to paper towels headliner. took about 5 months to build. 39 chevy photobucket album Thanks to Gregg for the pics these were taken in Atlanta.

Thanks Gary. Ill check around and see if i can find an exploded view and make sure what part it is I need. I still had a learning curve with that airbrush I hadn't quite got over. My single action Binks was used for alot of models I built about 8 years ago. It laid out a smooth pattern and with just a twist of the nozzle it got really fine. Havent seen any of them around in a few years. The gravity feed is an honest touch up gun with a 1.4 tip. I got both of those from a friend of the family that was getting out of the auto restoration business. He taught me alot with them before he gave them to me. I painted alot of plastic before I got anywhere close to good with these. And your aunt was right the price we pay for a lesson learned is tuition. I spent alot of money on paint and plastic to get good with my painting tools. I feel every penny was well spent.

I have 3 and of them i use my gravity feed more than anything else. I have a single action binks that was given to me. external mix but lays a pretty pattern. used mostly for small parts Badger dual action used once and a part got lost in cleaning. good all around just like my gun better. Neson gravity feed spray gun. Also given to me and is used for bodies and some small parts the model in my avatar was sprayed with it.

How much for a few copies cause i would like to do a race version. Nice work all around. Following with great intent learn something new.

Looking good. Who makes the vega wagon body? I dig the one piece wheel tub.

I love it. I have a few on the shelf to be built but not sure when I'll get to it.

Good work Eric. I found a intake similar to what you are looking for in an amt Nascar. I have a complete motor if you want it. Will the body be available for sale anytime soon? Another way to build the 292 is a 60 over 283. Ive got a 283 here at the house on my engine stand that I need to put away before I lose the crank to rust.
