  1. Thanks guys! I actually just noticed something i left off of the car. I had made some little side skirt pieces to put on last that would tie the front and back fender flares together and totally forgot about them. Ill have to make a couple more and stick them on.
  2. Thanks everyone for the comments. I posted that right before I went on vacation and forgot about it once I got back. Just remembered I had done it so I came on and checked it. Thanks again.
  3. Heres a project that I started about 10 yrs ago and I finally got motivated to finish it. It started as a stock AMT Mustang kit. I added fender flares from a Tamiya Supra race car, the front air dam part was all scratch built, molded in the rear roll pan and filled the whole back smooth as well as the coves in the sides of the car. The hood was stock that I molded in the tear drop scoop. The chassis is a modified nascar piece. Wheels and tires from an F1 car. Just need to get some small bolts for the wheels and it will be wrapped up. Hope you enjoy.
  4. I know in the front i had to cut some of the inner fender out to clear the tire to get it to sit down how i wanted it. I believe in the back, i just sat the bed on and mounted the axle as far up as i could.
  5. Wow! I am impressed. That is some might fine work you have done there. Do you have a WIP thread on it? I want to step up to this level but i havent been able to bring myself to cut up a body yet.
  6. @Impalow That Rivi is beautiful! I always enjoy seeing your builds. You sir are a craftsman. Your Gremlin build inspired my Merc gasser i built.
  7. Did you use just regular printer paper for the door panel and seat inserts?
  8. Welcome Stephen! Fellow NC'er here!
  9. The pins that go thru the hood, I made out of evergreen styrene. The clips on the wire, are rc car body clips. They were the smallest ones i could find.
  10. Well thank you. Heres a couple pics I took a while ago after I added a few things. Still need to get it outside and take some good pics.
  11. i sprayed it directly from the can. color and clear
  12. thanks again! I am also partial to the camaro. i had a lot of fun building that one. i bought it cause i wanted to see how many parts i could make for it since it was a big scale. looking back at it now i still see way more i could have made for it.
  13. Heres what i was able to finish in 2017. it was actually a good year as i can usually only finish one or 2 a year. First up is the 1/12 Foose Camaro Next I built a 57 Chrysler 300 Last I built the Foose 56 F-100
  14. Yes it is. It is Duplicolor Toreador Red spray can.
  15. Heres a couple of outside pics of my take on the Foose truck. Wonderful kit, everything fit well and is nicely detailed. WIP here:
  16. Mike, that is Duplicolor Electron Blue Pearl spray can from Advance Auto Parts. it is a factory Honda color. I had to dechrome the grille and front bumper as there was some flashing on them i had to sand off. I will be spraying them black then Alclad to get a nice chrome finish. I will post pics when finished. Thanks to everyone for the comments!
  17. Here are a couple shots of the truck once i got all of the body painted. Just mocked up to see how it will look. Polishing of the bed and running boards are next then final assembly. Thanks for looking!
