    66' Chevy II

    Cody-

    I like the work that you've done on that one. Yes, there are things that could be touched up or improved, but you could say that about ALL of mine too. That's why we build for fun and not for perfection. I really like the blacked out chrome. And you picked a great kit to start with. Looks good.

    That rebuild is looking fantastic with the exception of one thing. To me those tires are not tall enough. The sidewall is too thin and doesn't fill the wheel wells enough. I do like the wheels and the rest of the build though.

    '67 Corvette Stingray Roadster- Almost finished

    Nick-

    Harry beat me to it. As I was looking down through the pix of your build I was thinking that your building skills have improved dramatically since I first saw your builds.

    It's strange that also as I was looking at this post I thought "I don't remember sending him this kit. I have one that the block halves are glued together and that the body is primered. The first couple of pictures look just like mine.

    Keep it up Nick. That interior is looking great.

    Physical Therapy Mustang (formerly "building again")

    I'm honored to see that you took my suggestion of the name. It will surely fit. And don't think that it is because of your stroke that things with peanut butter land face down or that things are always two inches farther than you can reach. It happens to me also. I like the work your doing so far. hat Mustang body has always made a neat little racer, in my mind. Keep it up. What color do you have planned?

    After Stroke - Building Again, good therapy

    Dave-

    It's great to hear that you have not given up! Keep after it and the skills will come back. And, who knows, you may learn a NEW trick or two. A friend of mine had a stroke about 6 years ago and he made a good recovery of the use of his left hand by shuffling cards. We would go to his house to play cards with him and his wife and we would not let him pass when it was his turn to shuffle. We just waited patiently for him to finish. The Dr. told him that it was one thing that helped to speed up his recovery.

    Good to see your progress on the build. Have you decided on a body yet? You should have decals made that name the car "Physical Therapy".

    81 Bronco.....slamed!

    I'm still keeping an eye on this one for ideas for my Bronco. It's looking good. Where did you get the O-rings and do you have a size or part # on them? They are the best looking thing I've seen so far to replicate airbags. Got to find me a few dozen of them.

    Nice work on this one, Jon. The paint is a good color and looks nice and smooth. I've got two of these (one is the Landy version) and a 69 waiting in line to build. I want to do one up in "as delivered" style with the black fiberglass front clip and white body and one in full drag.

    That IS a beautiful design restyle. As it has already been said, you made it look stock. So much so that nothing seems out of place. I'm with Foxer. I'd love to see more photos of this build. Beautiful work.

    Wow! What a highly detailed, precise build. Everything is perfect. Can't wait to see it finished. What brands and colors of paints did you use on the interior? That is exactly how I would like the interior of my Nissan 300Z to look. Very clean.

    '87 Thunderbird Turbo

    You don't see many of these customized, but I think that you are on the right track. This should look killer. BTW- I vote for the 5 spokes with the locate ring removed and low pro tires. Next would be the 7 spoke R type wheels.

    Junkyard rod redux

    in WIP: Model Cars

    Posted

    I like everything with the exception of the cycle front fenders. I think that they might look better if you switch sides with them (I think that they are on backwards), angle them a little so that the brackets don't hit the tie rod, and then bob the front just a bit.

    I really like the cut down 50 Ford grille. It gives it that tractor grille look.

    BTW- you were right about the Fairlane wheel wells. That Fairlane front clip was a neat idea though. I think that it would have worked with some wheel well modification.

    Decklan-

    I just came across your build. Good to see that those parts I sent are going to good use. I like the plan you've got and it looks like you're off to a great start. I'll be watching to see how it turns out. Keep up the good work.
