I was actually thinking of doing it without a wing. I think it would look better. I know Nismo.stands for Nissan Motor sports but I felt that the wheel needed something and I had no other decals that would work. Later-

Kenny, Here is the mangled package that the wheels came in. http:// Here is the wheels after painting. http:// http:// I'm not sure if I'll use this wing or not. It will take a bit of reshaping to make it work. Later-

Wow! Those are in Great shape! Nice haul!! Later- -
Thanks a lot. It's been fun so far. The wheels are a aftermarket Tamiya 1/24 Nissan Skyline detail set. It comes with tires and wheels, steering wheel, a few other parts and Nismo decals. I picked up two sets a while back at the LHS on clearance for $4.50 each! I painted this set bronze today and put the Nismo.decals on them. I'll get a pic up tomorrow.of the package and the.wheels I painted. Later-

I began the wet sanding on the red one this morning. http:// I also picked the tires and wheels for the custom one.The wheels will be painted a bronze color thati have on hand similar to the ones in the picture of the blue one in the last post. http:// http:// Comments and criticisms welcomed.

Thanks Kenny. I didn't know the name of the color but I had seen it on a couple of Subarus and had it in mind when I tried to replicate it. The red one will be box stock. The blue one will probably be orange. I am looking for a C West or Revell Acura RSX custom hood for it similar to the one in the pic, if you know of anyone who has a spare. Later-

Actually Steve, when I went to pick them up the guy gave them to me for free! Where did you get the hood for your LeMans? This one is missing the hood. Later-

Just picked up the box. Upon quick inspection there is a pretty complete 66 Falcon Futura, a 64 Pontiac Ventura, a 60 El Camino, a 64 El Camino with a small boat.....and he GAVE it all to me.....for FREE!! Later-

I believe that they are styrene kit pieces. A buddy gave me the front and I believe that the rear is the Acura RSX custom piece. I've had them in my parts boxes for years now. Later-

Thanks for the comment. I washed the body this morning and began spraying the clearcoat. Got a couple of good coats on the body and then promptly DROPPED it!! Now to wait for it to dry and begin sanding out the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH! Well, at least I can do some bodywork on the other one. Later-

Me too Mark. Hopefully I'll get them today. Later-

I showed this to my wife and she said "That's just an accident waiting to happen." I can't understand why she doesn't appreciate it like I do. Later-

One of the vendors that comes into my job called me Friday and said that he was at the Early Ford swap meet and show and came across a box of about 20-25 old built ups for $30 and asked if i was interested. He sent me a photo. I agreed to it. Now I can't wait to find out what all I got. Later-
-
I did some wet sanding this morning and sprayed another topcoat of Mica Red instead of the clearcoat I had planned. So to fill some time I did some custom work on a second body I have on hand. I'm thinking Tamiya Orange on this one. Later-
-
I got this from a guy at work who picked it up at Goodwill for $2. Since it has no engine and a molded chassis pan I figured it would not take a lot of time. With that said, I should be able to keep interest in it until it is completed......... I primed it with Duplicolor Sandndable white primer yesterday. Today I applied a base of some Copper I had on hand and topped that with Tamiya Mica Red. First mist coats. Wet coats. Tomorrow I'll clear it and set it aside while I work on the interior and chassis. Nothing fancy, just OOB. Later-

Chopped/sectioned 39 Ford(update:primer mock up!))
Modlbldr replied to Ferbz's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Looking good so far. My only criticisms are the rear line of the door seems a bit too close to the front of the side windows and the fender skirts look a little too big in comparison to the fenders, particularly at the top. Just my two cents. Otherwise, the body work is fantastic. What color do you have in mind? Later- -
Another Monza build in the mix??? New pics 8-4-18
Modlbldr replied to DrKerry's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Kerry, I believe I have the rear fenders from an old Eckler Vette, if they would help.... Later- -
It's the gren one I posted a photo of on pg 2. I haven't made a posting for it because that tends to jinx me ever finishing a build. Lol. Once I finish it I'll post it in the Under Glass section. Later-
-
Kevin, This is all looking GREAT! That Floquil Earth color choice is spot on. I'll be keeping an eye on your build. I have painted my Willys hood this morning for the 5th time. It's looking good so far. Can't wait to finish it up. Later-

I'm loving the way this is turning out. I like the change in the rear wheels and the different take on the headlights and turn signals. Great job! Later-
