de3freak, mine doesnt seem to have that antenna on top of it. also i dont know about yours but mine is also diecast. would it matter if i take it out of the case or should i just keep it in there? EDIT: mine also has teh full detailed side skirts on it.

thanks buys, i finally picked up the model today. its a 55 belair(metal body) i really dont like metal bodys that much(you cant do much with them) im foing to try to find a plastic body, also it seems to be a pro street so im building a full roll cage for it along with a few other things, ill post this one in w.i.p. section. ill try the freezer method as you guys sugested and see if that works. thanks, Jeff

nah dave(thats what i dont like about the enternet, you cant tell the tone in peoples voices) when i read that post i was just in ahh. i understand what your talking about, i can say the same thing on the restoration of my el camino(my real car) it just gets fustrating sometimes.lol we all need to vent. its healthey for ya'.lol oh my names Jeffrey btw.( i guess i need to do my sig >.>)

nice looking kit richard. i like the color choices. im not sure about the sanding thing, i know when i sand down a real car i always do it dry, unless i have paint on it. -Jeff

thanks man, im gonna try and attend.

i bought thsi kit at a yard sale on the side of the road and had to have it, i was going to use it for parts for something else. untill my dad looked it up and found it on ebay for $70. can anyone tell me anything aobut this model? It has never been taken out of the display case. Heres some pics.

tody my cousin gave me a 57' belair model, it needs restoring pretty bad. the things i have to do is a new back bumper,headlights, and a engine. whats the best way to dissasemble the kit without breaking anything? future upgrades include : lambo doors(thanks to a fellow member), a nice 396,lowered, maybe some new wheels and tyres,new paint, maybe some new decals, and a new interior. also ill be shaving the door handles and a few other things. thanks-Jeff

hi, awesome build. i was thinking of doing this kit but in a different direction. i was wondering if the cab is seperate from the frame on this model?

im gonna go with model as well, teh tail lights dont look right. i also dont think they would put a defroster on a road racer, more weight=less power.

that is a beautifull model dave, i bet she really shines in the light. you say 1200 hours like its nothing! for me thta would be like on a 1:1 car!

lovely vette, i actually thought the first picture wasa real car. lets see some more pictures!

where can i buy that kit from?

hey man, whered you get that awesome frame for that truck from?? does it come with all the hydraulic components? thanks -Jeff

i started my first project in a long time today(well about 1 am.) and im almost done.I had a full tube frame then i decided to go a new route. i decided to do everything except for under the front section in "tube" ive got the prototype almost done ill have to post pics tomorrow with front wheels. i have no clue as to what interior im using or anything back from the firewall. any help is greatly apreciated.thanks! -Jeffp.s. the kit im using(dont get mad) is the testors/burago srt viper(98' i believe) its the one from the original molds(metal kit) unlike the other ones the original has cleaner lines.

yea i can wait to do it, but i think ima go with that other guy(peter?) idea, i have those little things.lol quick question though, how did you get the doors to stay up?

hey man, i live in the dfw area and id love to ome to the next show. when and where?

so ive seen alot of models that have opening doors taht are not suposed to. my question is how do i do this? im going to be doing a custom semi/truck/lowrider and i want lambo doors on it i have seen some at a online store that a bunch of people use but i dont know what i have to do. so how do you guys acheive this? these are the door hinges im talking about. http://stores.homestead.com/hstrial-RSchwa...n-24/Detail.bok and i want my doors like mr. big has on his chrysler 300. THanks -Jeff
