'67 Shelby GT350 Custom (8 Apr *Under Glass*)
Modlbldr replied to taaron76's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Love the look of this and nice work on hinging the panels. Later- -
Picked up all of this, plus a sealed Lindberg 37 Cord for $10. Not sure what kit or kits all of the pieces in the pile go to but there are a few parts to a brass era car. http:// http:// http:// I was thinking about bashing the front of the built Cord to the rear of the built Auburn for a four pontoon fendered car. May look interesting. Later-

That is looking so nice. Great work, even on a Chevy. Later-

I received new bumpers for the TBird. I got one 1/24 front and one 1/25 and one 1/24 rear. Funny, but the 1/24 pieces fit perfect. The only noticeable difference is when splicing the sections from the 1/24 rear bumper to the 1/25 rear bumper in order to remove the Connie kit section. Here is what I have so far on both. Just need to do a bit of filing on the rear to get it smooth. Then I can chrome them and install. http:// http:// I have opened up the grille and am using window screen to replace the center. It is close to a stock look but allows the grille to be seen through. This way you can see the radiator with a puller style electric fan i have installed. I am almost finished with this one. Perhaps tonight or tomorrow I can have it in the "Under Glass" section. Later-

That is stunning work. Great details that you've added. I can't wait to get started on my 67. It keeps getting pushed back by other builds though. Later-

I was given this yesterday by a good friend. She picked it up at a thrift store. Unstarted with most bags still sealed! http:// Later-

So, disaster today. I decided to redo the chrome on the bumpers with my new chrome pens. I had painted them with Spaz Stix that didn't turn out well. So this morning at work I put them in Lacquer thinner and then immediately had to deal with a roof leak. At 2 PM I came back to the shop to find this. http:// I had planned to finish this up this weekend. Now I will have to do some scratcbuilding. Oh well. Later-

How Do You Select Your Projects?
Modlbldr replied to afx's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I wish that I decided! I always have multiple projects in the works. Then I get an idea for another and, like you said, it wont leave me alone. Next thing I know I am working on it and all other projects either get pushed aside completely or I work on them as fill in. I guess that's why I have a difficulty finishing one. As an example, I have a 56 TBird that I started (without any forethought) because I saw a drawing of one that I thought was cool. So, I dropped working on my 64 Chevy pickup for a while. Once I got to a point on the TBird where it wasn't as interesting anymore I started on a 34 Ford Flintstone resin. Back and forth from the TBird, 34 Ford, 64 Chevy, 66 El Camino, and now I am AGAIN working on a 67 GTX that I started in 2011! It's a vicious circle!!! But I enjoy it. Later- -

Looking great! Love the colors on both of them. I need to get mine finished. I'm held up on the BMF. Later- -
Chevy LUV 4x4
Modlbldr replied to Mahogany Rush's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice looking. I like the suspension mods. Can you tell me what tires those are from Scenes Unlimited? Later- -
Looks great. Nice custom work. Later-

Tonight's update. I got the chassis, suspension and exhaust completed tonight. Not much different than the previous pics except that the rear sits a bit lower, which is great! I was dreading chopping the windshield because I have never been able to do this without cracking the glass. Past the point of no return: http:// It didn't need much. http:// A little clean up and I think that will work. http:// http:// That's enough for tonight. As soon as I get my 1mm Molotow pen in I can finish the chrome in the interior and do a final polish for the shelf. Hopefully soon. Later-

Progress update. Got most of the chassis and exhaust done. Still need to glue the rear suspension in to get the rear down just a bit. http:// http:// http:// http:// Body, windshield frame and grille are just sitting in place. Later-

Let's see your geegaws!
Modlbldr replied to Lunajammer's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I would love to have one or a few of these. I have a friend who works for Parking Enforcement. I told her about these and she wants one for her parking diorama. Any help? Even a resin cast....... Later- -
Bagged 64 Chevy C10
Modlbldr replied to Modlbldr's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Me too! Lol. Hope to get back on it soon. Later- -
Been working on this again today. Boring update. Been painting the chassis and suspension. Bumpers are sanded smooth and ready to chrome. I decided to just put an engine in that has the bottom detailed and glue the hood shut. I can't seem to find an engine that sits low enough to clear and I'm not willing to shell out money for another kit to get one that will fit. Hopefully some pictures tomorrow. Later-

The cracking could be residue or vapors from the stripper you used. I had the same problem when I re-primed after stripping with Easy Off even though I washed the body a couple of times with soap and water. Now I have to sand down the body on my Subaru build. On a side note, did you get the wheels you were looking for? I have some, if not. Later-

That rendering just looks right and you are doing some great work with this one. Keep it up. Later-

Ooh! That's nice Joe. I think I like it more than the silver one. Later-

Simply amazing! What clean and detailed work you have done. Superb! Later-

Thanks espo. Been bouncing between three different builds depending on my interest and motivation. Later-

Last photo for now. Got the very tops of the wheelwells cut out and ready to tub. http:// Comments welcomed. Later-
