  1. I just finished this one this morning. This makes my 4th finished project for 2019! Link to the build thread here. I added a front air dam and rear diffuser, Aoshima Parts kit seats with PE seat harnesses, roll cage, Aoshima Racing Hart 19 inch wheels, and a few scratch-built pats in the hatch area. I removed the rear seat and hatch area interior to resemble a stripped out interior for lighter weight. I also removed the grille and scratch-built an intercooler. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Thanks for looking. Later-
  2. Finished it up today! Glad to get it on the shelf and get back on my 58 Vette and a couple others. Moving this one to Under Glass. http:// http:// Later-
  3. That looks like some nice, clean work. I like the paint color. Very fitting for a Caddy. Good job. Later-
  4. It has been extremely busy for me, both at work and at home this last week. I managed to get the interior completed today. I installed the seats and painted the white and red lights on the interior door panels. Just need to clean the windshield a bit, glue the body on to the chassis, and install the rear glass and the exhaust tips. Should be able to wrap this up tomorrow. http:// http:// http:// Later-
  5. I like this a lot! Nice use of spare parts and the unfinished look fits well. Good job. Later-
  6. Very nice paint job. Can't wait to see what the secondary color does to the look. Later-
  7. I would love a couple. I'll PM you. Later-
  8. Sorry. That one is not going anywhere. Lol. I managed to get that one at a great price too. Later-
  9. Thanks Ray. Hopefully I can get around to one or two this year. Later-
  10. Some of many I have waiting in the wings. http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// http:// Later-
  11. 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-
  12. 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-
  13. Those are all some beautiful builds guys! Good work. Later-
  14. 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-
  15. 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-
  16. 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-
  17. 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-
  18. 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-
  19. That looks fantastic Mickey. Nice work. That was my vote anyway. Later-
  20. Nice progress so far TJ. Later-
  21. 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-
  22. Back at ya Scott. Looking forward to the next one. Later-
  23. Looking Sharp! The interior work looks very clean. Been enjoying following your work. Later-
  24. 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-
