Corvette.Jeff

its a pretty good truck,just to slow for my taste. im really missin my vette,but it was time to move on

well today i got rid of my corvette, and i traded it for a pickup(hey, i live in Texas!) i did find it on the interweb, also i got a new kit, tamiyas old school bettle. Heres a picture of the truck!

Really really cool

ill join in!

i love buildin those indy car kits, they always fall together for me

has anyone ordered any parts from the parts box that lives in the U.S.A? im debating on ordering a few parts. Thanks,Jeff

im with blake,where can we get an allison from?

i like it so far!!!!

i have another entry,if its allowed awesome,if not thats cool. its about 60% done(gotta repaint the body,and finish putting everything together) its a chevy titan 90 semi tractor.

heres a crappy cell phone pic of what im starting with... just the body,engine,and frame

Id like to join in with a monogram 84' corvette if that would be allowed

Hey jared, is it to late to join? id like to join in if it isnt, same kit as you, just mines going to be 4x4

Thanks to everybody, i submitted photo #2 today, lets hope for the best!

I just remembered! i never updated yall on that!! I had to buy a "new" used rear end and install it, but so far so good! i still have the old diff. and another set of gears just in case though!

Thanks Brian, Yea, its been a fun trip owning a Corvette! lol Iv'e said it before and ill say it again, i didnt know that much mechanically about cars before owning my 'vette, but now after a year and a half of ownership i know ALOT!! i wouldnt trade it for a minute though

Hi all, IM entering a contest on a chevy forum i regular to be on our annual calendar. I just cant decide on what picture to enter, which one would you enter? Picture#1 Or picture#2 Thank you,Jeff. p.s. harry and all you mods, if this isnt allowed, feel free to delete, just trying to get help deciding.

what abou monograms 84' vette? you never see that one built up!!

im liking this, im working on the older bigger brother, the 84' corvette. i love these big scale models.

My baby is a 84' 'vette. Makes the girlfriend a bit jealous sometimes...lol Took this one today, i added the "corvette" on the windshield not to long ago. And mine and my girlfriends car, a 82' mustang. Picking the little booger up tomorrow. Jeff.

one word, Sweeeeeeeeeet. one word, Sweeeeeeeeeet.

Yea,Dave. That build was no where near awesonme. that build had a lot of firsts though, first time doing major bodywork included. Has my body work gotten any better? You tell me.... It still needs ALOT of work, i wasnt going to post a picture of it till i was done with the back, but what the heck. ill get a better picture tomorrow afternoon to show the major body work. the taillight section is a cut down 68' charger piece from revell, the body is extended about 2 scale inches, so i have to extend everything!that spline down the middle isnt staying, that was just extra plastic to fill the gap( i dont have a razor saw, i just use regular cutting wheels) i got the inspiration from the model known as "Typhoon" Heres a side pic.... sorry its so blurry, but you can see what i was talking about with adding extra inches. Btw, this is what that little roadster started out as... jeff

i like it!!!!!! especially the taillights.

I,Like most here, live on a tight budget and can barely afford models. Plus the boss is always tellin me NO! lol Although im finally getting her into the hobby slowly but surely. I dont build my models to make anyone else happy, heck the one i was most proud of looked like poo! But i was proud of it, it was the first model i actually kitbashed and started scratchbuilding, i built a crude "frame" for it and started chopping down a 27' ford sd body to get a roadster, sure i couldve bought a resin roadster body, but i already had the body, and it was messed up from my first chop top attempt. Plus i didnt really feel like paying that outrageous amount of $$$ for a resin body that i didnt know anything about. Heres my current tool list: Sandpaper ranging from 360 to 4,000, an exacto blade set(#11's only! i splurged on this at the lhs) a cheap hobby knife handle, and some super glue. I did splurge on a pack of .020 thickness styrene sheets so i could finish my latest build, if i need thicker styrene i just double it up, if its to thick i sand it down! I also have a tube of cheap body putty that ive had for almost a year! heres said roadster build, I want to revisit it one day, eventually....... Sure, it wasnt anywhere near show quality, but i was proud of it, i tried so many new things with that model, sadly it got crushed when i was moving a while back. Jeff, happy modeler.

i mostly play forza3, ill post some pics when i get home(driving back from florida right now)

hey romell, nice work on the 1:1 so far,ive wanted to put a roll cage in my vette for the longest time ,but cant make myself cut up such a good body, if you dont mind my askingthough,what kind of bike was that with the red and white fenders?? those fenders look similiar to the ones on my 50's western flyer. thanks,Jeff. Also,did you ever get my pm?
