'68 Pontiac Firebird 400 (resto) - NEW IMAGES showing modifications!
Modlbldr replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
Amazing transformation! That Verdoro green is my favorite color for that year of Firebird. Great choice. The top looks very realistic. I'll have to remember that tip. Later- -

Looks great! I like the color and the exhaust mods you did. I have a few of the 67-68's to do someday. Later-

"Bring Out Your Dead" Completion Build--ROUND 2 Is On!
Modlbldr replied to Snake45's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Yeah, me too. Mine I got about 3 years ago and was only missing the rear bumper and one stock wheel/tire. It will be an easy restoration, if I can find the bumper. I'm also looking for the glass and the hood scoop chrome for a 61-63 T-Bird hardtop, if you know of someone who may have those parts. On another note, I wanted to work on my Mustang this weekend but it just wasn't going to happen. Been so busy this weekend that I can't wait for Monday to get back to work and get a break! Later- -
"Bring Out Your Dead" Completion Build--ROUND 2 Is On!
Modlbldr replied to Snake45's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Snake, I say go for it! Your story that the body was in the basement being painted sounds reasonable to me. I know I have had kits with parts at home and parts at work 30 miles away. Wish I had a spare 65 hood for you. I am looking for the more elusive 63 Rivi rear bumper. I say Git 'er done! Later- -

Modlbldr replied to Snake45's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Liquid cement and CA glues work just fine for styrene. Don't forget that most thin For Sale signs are just thin styrene and work just fine but are usually cheaper. Later- -
Amazing build and detail work! Love what you have done and the body color. What is it? Can't wait to see it cleared and shinning bright! Later-

Got my PE harness set in today. Something tells me that it is going to be a LONG night. http:// The first step took me just over 10 min. I showed this next picture to my wife and asked her what the red thing was. "A carrot?" was her response. http:// No. The red thing is the end of a toothpick! And I have three more to make to finish step 1!! Then I have to put two ends of the ribbon through each one.... Back to the madness. Later-

"Bring Out Your Dead" Completion Build--ROUND 2 Is On!
Modlbldr replied to Snake45's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I've made a bit of progress on the chassis on my Mustang this week. Nothing major, but since the project has been stalled for years most of my parts are MIA. I am scrounging or scratch building most of the parts that I need. That slows the process considerably. Anywho, hear is where it is at. http:// http:// http:// http:// The yellow inner fenders are from a 93-94 kit that I had some parts from. I think I have some from a 97 Cobra kit at the house. I'll check tonight and, if so, I may replace these. Either way, they need some modifications because they sit too high at the moment. Later- -
Back at ya Scott. Looking forward to the next one. Later-

AMT 1949/1950 Ford sedan/ convertible .
Modlbldr replied to Ballroad's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thank you very much for the kind words. Without, hopefully, getting a swelled head, I am very proud of how it turned out. It helped to be able to get the measurements from the 1:1. Now if I could just get off my lazy butt and finish it. Later- -

Modlbldr replied to Ballroad's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I stretched the roof of a 49 Coupe to make a 50 Sedan using measurements from my cousin's 1:1 50 Sedan. It's not difficult to do. I kept the 50 trunk hinges but haven't messed with the rest because it will be a VERY mild custom. http:// http:// http:// Later- -

Modlbldr replied to Snake45's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Well, since I'm waiting for my PE harnesses for my RX-7 build I jumped back on my custom Mustang this morning. Working on the fine details of getting the chassis and suspension to fit just right. I'll update with a pic or two once something photo-worthy is reached. Later- -
Well, I need to set this one aside for a week or so. I just ordered a set of PE 5 pt harnesses for the seats. They are supposed to be in on Friday. More updates then. Later-

Looks great! I've had this one sitting, unfinished for probably 20 years. http:// http:// Later-

This is looking great! Love the kit bashing. For the rear storage bin you could buy a for sale sign and cut it up into strips . They are just thin flexible styrene sheets that would work great for this purpose. Make a frame like you did with the 1:1 and bend the for sale sign over it and glue with super glue or liquid cement.

You should recognize it. The kit has done a bit of traveling around the country lately. From you to me to him. Lol. Later-
