  1. Thanks Fellas! Thanks Jim. I don't believe I need any more unless it would be another frame or tires. I managed to get 7 parts kits that included 3 frames and 3 sets of tires. Later-
  2. I finished my Revell Kustom Chopper today and posted it in Under Glass "All the Rest" (check it out). Now I am sorting through about 5 gallon bags full of parts to separate them as to what busted up built kit they go to......fun! Later-
  3. I bought this as a started project and never having owned a motorcycle or having built a kit I tried my best to figure out how it went together. The previous builder customized the frame and added some turned aluminum parts. I did a custom paint job using three color layers and decals between the second and third. I also airbrushed many of the parts with Molotow Chrome. I made the lip for the front fender to match the rear and made the seat. I really like how low this bike sits and the overall look. One of the pics includes a stock kit frame for comparison. I hope you.like it and I am looking forward to finishing the second customized one I got. Later-
  4. Thanks! Finished and moved to Under Glass. Check it out there for more pics. Later-
  5. Gorgeous build Nigel. It and the Celica. Later-
  6. Ooooh! I'm liking this!! Keep it up. Later-
  7. Nigel, That's looking killer! The body color and stance are perfect and I really like the bronze added to the wheel centers. That will set it off just right. Great work, as usual. Later-
  8. You've got a nice smooth primer layer going on. Your door lines look great! I like the look of the 1:1 you posted too. I'll be watching for your progress. Later-
  9. Been working a bit on this one during some of my stints at the bench. I cleaned up.the seams on the engine block and airbrushed it with Molotow. Then I hit it with some panel line accent. I had to slightly modify the location of the alternator due to the custom frame brace. Got the wheels and brake discs mounted and the chain hit with some paint to de-chrome it. Tomorrow will be adding the belt and cover. I'm really liking the look of this one. I'm thinking of doing a candy green with marble effect on my second one. Later-
  10. I thought it looked familiar but I didn't really recognize it without chrome. Later-
  11. Thanks for the reply. Later-
  12. That looks very good! Your work on this is neat and clean! Great color choice on the body. I just got three more of these 68-69 Dart kits in the last two weeks. That gives me a total of 5 complete kits and one partial. Can't wait to get started on one or two. Later-
  13. What kit is that axle from? I have a complete, unstated kit of this 28 and have debated whether to do so.ething with it. I'll be keeping an eye on yours. Later-
  14. Very nice work! I love the idea. Great color on those fenders too. You mentioned perhaps offering a casting of this. How would I go about getting one? Do you have other stuff that you offer? PM me please. Later-
  15. Your work is looking good. I like the extra details you're putting in to it.. I'll be watching.. I stalled out on my custom Milk Trike for now when I messed up the paint on it. I'll be getting back.to.it soon. Later-
  16. Covid is the excuse companies are using for price increases. I am sure supply has been affected to a degree. But when I'm told that a single sheet of subflooring for my home remodel now costs $98(!!!) I have to cry "foul". And I thought price gouging was supposed to be a criminal act. Later-
  17. Thanks Man. I have been slowly plugging along on this during breaks at work. Made a seat cushion and painted it and the grips in Satin Warm Caramel. I thought it would go better with the red than black would. I also have the front end together and am working on the engine and rear wheel setup. At the moment the rear tire hits the fender so I'll need to do some adjusting there. Later-
  18. I remember similar accounts. I had a lot of fun in that car over a short few years before my older brother wrecked it, bending the frame. Later-
  19. I learned to drive in 85. We had three vehicles at that time that I took turns learning to drive. We had a 47 Ford four door sedan with the sloped back-bone stock with the 6 cylinder and three on the tree, a 73 Plymouth "Gold Duster"- automatic with a slant 6, and a 51 Kaiser. Loved all three of them for different reasons. Later-
  20. Same here Larry! Got my end of a deal with Gloozalot, plus some extra!! George is a great guy! Thanks! Later-
  21. Thanks guys! Much appreciated. I have a WIP thread going on it. Later-
  22. X2. Love it! Later-
  23. That is cool! Glad you were able to get it. Later-
