  1. Yeah it runs pretty well also!
  2. I agree about the Dodge Magnum.If Aurora could make a HO slot car of it than the little 3 surely could have!
  3. The rear end looks lik a '69 ElDorado! Very cool!
  4. Lookin' cool!
  5. I decided to give it a racing stripe.Had to do the chevrons!
  6. How about an MPC '73 Caprice?
  7. Yes I agree about Herbie!He does look grey in a lot of scenes!
  8. OH I see!I was deceived by the box art!Still I think the green is sharp and i have no plans to re-paint it!
  9. Sure looks green to me!I mixed Tamiya chrome silver with a small amount of Tamiya clear green to get the correct shade.Looks right to me!
  10. I'm just replicating the box art color.since it will be a gasser and not a direct clone I have a free hand as to how it will be built.
  11. After 4 light coats,I think the body is done.Next-up I'll paint the interior!
  12. Yes i will post more as I progress!
  13. Busy with vacation!Shot the first coat of paint!
  14. The Benz really rocks!
  15. I want to get one of those for sure!I think I'll make it box stock. maroon perhaps!
  16. It looks pretty cool!
  17. Since the engine is a big block with a high rise intake and carb,i had to cut a hole in the hood to get it to close..i covered the hole with a hood scoop taken from the hood of the Penske '66 Vette!
  18. I like it! Nice job on the paint!I know that you have to polish black to make it reflect like that!
  19. UPdate:I got tghe engine and chassis together.I really like the multi-link rear suspension!
  20. Looks lik I got the paint mix right.Here is the floor pan(The bow-tie will be covered by the fuel tank)
  21. I plan on using the chassis and engine from the AMT '57 Chevy street rod kit.I had to cut the floor pan from both sides to make it fit.I will paint it pale green metallic which I custom-mixed using Tamiya Chrome silver and a small amount of clear green.Should come out pretty well when I get everything to fit!
  22. Use a reinforced cut-off wheel in your Dremel to make room for an engine.Safety goggles are a must of course!
  23. I decided to start building the re-issue of the Revell Futura which is the show car used to create the batmobile.The multi-piece body requires some body work! rear view hood
  24. Yes it does happen but if I get frustrated then I put it aside for another day,gives me time to hash out a solution to the problem!Smashing a model in anger I have never done because that is a total waste and the problem is you and not the model!
  25. That Lincoln is seriously bad-ass!Can't wait to see how it comes out!
