Hey thanks guys. What the heck is wrong with photobucket??? When I posted those pics I posted a side view of the new rims and now it's a pic of the old rims? What the heck? Edit: Now my original pic is back! This is weird.

So I got my new wheels for this thing. Both the rims and tires are from the amt 86 el camino. I stripped and painted the rims, and also painted the white letters. It looks 10x better! I also cut the hinges off the hood and I'm going to fill the holes in the firewall where they went. Thanks for looking.

Hey thanks everyone for the info. I took it all apart and let it soak real good. The trigger worked great till it started to dry, so I will get some of that lube for it! Thanks again guys.

So I bought a badger 150 dual action airbrush a few months ago. I've only used it twice and I have cleaned it well. The problem is I went to use it today and when I push down on the trigger it feels "mushy" or sticky. It doesn't come back up all the way and it is very slow at doing so. The needle moves back and forth just fine, but the trigger feels "sticky". If anyone has an idea about what's what's wrong please let me know. Thanks.

I just need to get some paint to do the top and the seats. Then the final details and it's done.

Hey thanks guys. I haven't done much lately, but I got a new hood for it. The old one was cracked. These kits hoods seem to have a real problem of not fitting right, so I need to figure that out.

Thanks guys! I'm having a blast building this thing. I might have to get a few more. They are alot of fun!

So I decided to build one of my meyers Manx kits. I started this build today and I have made quite a bit of progress. This is going to be a very quick build. So hopefully i'll have this done soon.

Here's mine so far:

So This is what I got so far. I got the chassis painted and the front and rear suspension on it. Hopefully near the end of the month I can get some good progress done on it.

cool thanks man. I will once I get home from work.

Hey guys do you mind if I join in on this? I got a monogram s10 I just started.

Thanks guys. I'm still not sure on the color. So I got the chassis painted and the front and rear suspension on it. I also put the motor in some stripper to get rid of that nasty old paint. Thanks for looking.

Thanks guys. and grey I like your build, looks nice. So I was wondering how big the display is that comes with the Meyers Manx, so I mocked up the s10 on it. Not a lot of room haha

Hey thanks guys. I just got it cleared today so hopefully I'll have more progress on this soon.

New update march 7/15 So guys, since my vanagon is half done I decided to start this monogram 93 s10. I got this for ten bucks. The engine has been started but other then that the kit is complete. I plan to build this thing 100% original but i might change the wheels to a 2wd style rim. Not the 4x4 style they have in the kit. For colors I am not sure yet. This is build 2/3 for my monogram s-series trucks. I have built the syclone, got this one, and I bought a sealed s10 waverider to build after this one. Once done I'll display all of them together. The truck will sit higher once done, but for mock up this is how it looks. I am also using a soft tonneau cover from one of my syclones on this truck, it add a bit of style to it. Thanks for looking.

Hey thanks guys for the comments, I appreciate it. So I got quite a bit done lately on this thing. I got the chassis done, the interior started and I got the body painted. I think I'm gonna weather this one just a little bit when I'm done. Thanks for looking.

I didn't get em today, but I am picking them up tomorrow. The waverider is still sealed, the stock 1st gen is only missing instructions. The extreme is a mess though.

Nah I appreciate the comment. Now that I think of it your idea would be better, but I'm just gonna leave it. I really don't know much about vw's so I just tried to imagine something that would work. I like constructive comments, helps me out.

Since I finished up a few things lately I thought I would post this vw I started not too long ago. It's revell of germany's t3 camper. I lifted the rear suspension, used the front suspension from a gmc syclone. I scratch built the roof rack, ladder, front push bar and skid plate. The wheels are from a amt scout. Hopefully I'll have this one finished soon because I got alot of stuff I want to work on. Thanks for looking.

So I got the clear on it and I did a mock up on it. I still need to polish it out and do alot of detail painting. Hopefully I'll have this thing finished soon.

In color: A couple more coats and it's ready for clear.

a shelf for my kits, a 1/12 shelby, 1/16 bug, and newly reissued gmc wrecker.

So here's an update on this, got it striped and primed. Now onto color. It should be in color here soon, thanks for looking.

Thanks guys. Like I said the build is almost done, but I'm having a blast on this one. I really haven't been building at all for the Past 6 months but I'm glad I'm back. I'm gonna try to knock this thing out soon so keep an eye out for an update soon.
