  1. What a cool idea! I never would have thought to do this. Now I want to build one. I have so many spare bodies just lying in a tub. You've given me an idea to try. Thanks! Later-
  2. Very nice build! I love the Nassau blue and the detail work on the undercarriage. To me, this is what a Camaro of this era should look like. Later-
  3. Nice build of a very famous car. Great job! Later-
  4. Wow! Beautiful color and fantastic detail! Very sharp build. Thanks for sharing your work. Later-
  5. That turned out great! Nice custom work on it, especially the taillights. I like the color too. Later-
  6. Thanks everyone for your fine comments. Glad you like it! I think this makes #8 for the year. Later-
  7. Thank you! Yes. This kit came with this engine and a 4 cylinder. Later-
  8. Just finished this one up tonight. It is the MPC Snake Bite Mustang Cobra. I bought it as an unpainted but decaled built up and I stripped it down. Paint is Testors Viper GTS Blue with Testors silver of some sort. The pinstripe along the hood bulge and along the body molding is Lavender. I wasn't confident of my choice of striping at first but I really liked it once I got it on the body. The window glass was pretty scuffed so I decided to just spray it flat black on the inside. The windshield decal was left over from the OB. Engine detail is just the basic engine. No wiring or plumbing. This was a fun build that went together very easily and was quite enjoyable. Hope you like it.
  9. Got some more done on this Mustang today. The wheels are just pushed on. I need to rechrome them before permanently attaching them. Just need to install side mirrors and connect the exhaust to the headers and add a tailpipe extension. I will get this finished tomorrow and under glass. Later-
  10. Looks sweet! Here is mine built a few years ago. Later-
  11. Wow! That thing really pops with the white against the red. Nice! What color is it? Later-
  12. Beautiful build of a nice car! Too bad there weren't more of these models around. I'd love to have one to build. Later-
  13. Looking excellent, especially in Maroon. I did one a few years back as it is also my birth year. It was a great kit and I enjoyed the build. I did mine in Inca Gold. Keep going! Later-
  14. Got some reshaping of the roof done on this Ecto 1/Hearse project that I bought as a started project. It had a hump in the roof beginning about 1/4 inch rearward of the rear side door. Had to do quite a bit of filing and putting to get a nicer rounded shape. Before and after pics. Later-
  15. Yes they are. The seller has quite a selection and they are $15.99 w/ free shipping! They were a total of $17.29. Trying to resist ordering some of their others. Later-
  16. Years ago I bought the JF resin 06 Pontiac Firebird kit (converts the 06 Camaro to a Firebird). I never built it because I was looking for a set of larger diameter Firebird wheels for it. Well, today I bought these 20 inch Snowflakes off of a seller on Ebay. 20 inch should fit just fine. I may swap the tires for the ones in the Camaro. Not sure what I think of these resin tires yet. Later-
  17. Nice work making what you want out of what's available. Turned out to be a great looking replica! Later-
  18. I like it Stephen! Nice work. Later-
  19. I commented early on this build but haven't read through the entire post. I picked this started project up this week so I will have to go back and read it all for some tips. Later-
  20. Got this started Ecto 1/ Hearse project and a bit of 59 Caddy parts for a good price today.
  21. Thanks Rick! Later-
  22. Thanks Fellas! Nice to see you guys are still enjoying this one. Later-
  23. Thank you all for your kind comments on my build. I'm eager to start another one. Later-
  24. I'm liking this build and your process along the way. Glad I tuned in. Later-
