Thanks Dan for the links, I don't see a lot of trucks running super singles around here. I do like the look. What's your thoughts, do these look convincing? When a truck is set up to run super singles on the drive axles does it run a float tire on the front? Did you modify the kit wheels or use some aftermarket wheel? I see that the vender offers a aggressive pattern and a highway pattern for the super single. Would a highway pattern be used on the trailer? Thanks for your time.

Interesting it looks very cool, please give more info on where you got the flame template and more pictures and info on the super singles

I like the B station.

Interesting show fun to watch neat cars, goofballs for sure, hey it's TV. I wonder what it would be like if they would make a TV show of what goes on in this place. You couldn't make this stuff up. Just sayin.

Nice build Russell it's a shame that you had to sell it off when you were tight for a few bucks. I had a friend who I found out had to do the same thing to his GSL people's choices award winning car. As he was on his death bed I was able to close a deal to acquire the car back. I got the information to his family less than an hour before he passed. The car now presides in the museum in Salt Lake City. Just where he wanted.

Very nice job. I have one of those cabs I hope mine comes out as well as yours.

Nice how did you create the pyramid shaped chromed doors on the rear of the orange Pete

Chuck I'm all in for that WJ car when it's available I'll be watching this post.

Rob that's a good looking car however I would probably walk past it as displayed or blew past it had you not put a this topic to your post. I've judged many contest in my day. I really dig what you did to the car and see what all the effort you you put into it especially in the engine compartment with the rework of the front header and the cleaning up the fenders and firewall. What kills n the car is the flat statin paint paint and the headlight screen along with the wheel choice. It mad max ish. Here is a suggestion, go the "what if" route what if mercury built a eliminator that year, grabber blue, modified stripes, hideaway headlamps, satin black black hood, you get the idea. Add some wire looms to the spark plug wires. When displaying any model at a show presentation is everything you got to grab the attention of people. Do what you have to do or can get away with to do so. Display stands, mirrors, printed our materials with a description of your mods. P

I received my Chevelle from Kevin yesterday and all I can say is WOW! It is incredible! The only real flash on the kit is on some smal parts, left there intentually for shipping purposes. I seen Tom's work before and I knew it was first rate so I didn't have any question that the master was totally correct and and I know Kevin hie is a friend and I've ordered from him before so I the casting and service was also first rate. I PayPal him Sunday and the kit arrived Wednesday. Here's what I got when I got when I open the box. The body, chassis,interior bucket,dashboard,bench seat steering wheel, tilt column,firewall, sport mirrors & hood are cast in white resin and truly look like kit pieces. The chassis looks a kit pit piece maybe modified but I I can' put my finger on it. No suspension or exhaust pieces are provided. The body is straight and true with all all trim well defined. Even a a parking lot rub strip on the sides of the car. The chrome parts include front and rear bumpers grille, headlight buckets, & tailight trim. The chrome is bright and clean with no mold seems better than kit pieces. Clear red taillights, and clear headlights,are provided. A vacuform can greenhouse is also provided. A small decal sheet includes front and rear side marker lights, 2 gold Chevy bowties (unknown placement) a key lock ( presumably for the trunk) and a chevelle+bowtie (presumably for rear panel). This is an excellent kit as far I'm considered it sets a new standard that all othe resin kits should be judged against. Move over modelhaus! The price ain't cheap at $87.50 shipped to my door but it's on par with Modelhaus charges. I hope that Kevin can pipe in here and answer some questions about the decal placement, and sourcing chassis parts. My plans for kit are kinda undecided. I'm not a big bone stock builder, street machines are more my cup of tea. Now what to do a "last454" ,a BM 454 or a Laguna conversion. In any event for now I placed the firewall & dash. in the interior bucket and placed that assembly inside the body and installed the body and taped the hood down until I complete my research and source my parts. The reason I do this past experience that the white resin is more has tendencies to warp in comparison to tan resin. Thanks to Tom and Kevin and everyone at missing link for bringing us such a great product.

Wow very cool ! Roadster has lots of possibilities also for bracket cars. Forgive me if I'm missing something but are you already producing resin bodies ? You don't appear to be a newbie at this.

Will this be a master for a resin cast body?

You put a lot of effort in to this project and it really paid off. Absolutely fantastic job !!!!

I'd be interested in a full kit from Revell or AMT. forget the the 3d print BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH to expensive and not enough detail. Don't forget tundra.

Thanks for sharing Kurt I actually thought Lou passed away some time time ago. He was a hero and inspiration as I grew up. He has many model at the Mack museum in Allentown Pa. I missed you at NNL East hope to see you at macungie or at the September showdown. Vince

Years ago Rick told me he planned on building an Anglia. Then Pontiac gave him the body and urged him to use it to help promote the J car. Check out using an Anglia body I've never seen anyone build one with that body,and I've never checked the wheelbase. Good luck

has anyone Built one yet? Looking for research material and seeing buildups. before I get started. vince

I picked up the re release of AMT 67 Shelby Mustang. I'd like to paint it the factory color called Candy apple red. OK I know the Factory didn't actually use candy but what would be a reasonable alternative for a non Candy that would match the ford color without breaking the bank at the local paint jobber ? Vince

By this time PS was tube chassis BBC. Get ahold of Revell Camaro PS kit and modify stuff to fit.

Awesome Job if I was in better health and my vision wasn't failing me it would be first on my list of fun car to buy. I have two scion's in my stable and they are great cars. incredibly reliable. Hats off for a great build.

Zinio electronic about 12 a month 1or 2 at the local grocery store 1 or 2@ b@n 40 miles away. model cars 1 a year at NNL east or if I run across the at a swap meet . I use to subscribe but never received a issue that the cover wasn't destroyed.

The Revell olds is an interesting kit with lots of appeal but it just doesn't light my pants on fire. Anything out there in resin land , fastback,sedan delivery woody. Maybe a Chevy or Pontiac conversion. I like to build a street rod so stock wheels and engine aren,t a necessity. Any ideas

Never heard of Scale Auto Decals, or a conversion kit for the AMT Gremlin who makes what. Great build

Nice Job so I'm looking forward to picking mine up Saturday. . I'm a bit disapoited it wasn't a clear body. Maybe I get creative and get a second cit and break out the dremel tool. and create a cutaway thanks for sharing Maybe you mentioned it maybe not but but cou you you elaborate on paints you you used Vince

it's been screwed up like that for months, I was hoping Kevin was coming to to the PA sept. showdown bunch of stuff I'm interested in. Guess he'll have to wait till NNL east and hope I don;t loose interest or run out of money before him. Time to fire a web designer he's getting as much done as a politician
