  1. Looking good! Can't wait to see it done, has a awesome looking stance.
  2. Thanks Charlie. So I started wet sanding and polishing out the body, also got the interior half painted, but no pics. Before: After: Over the next few days I will get this polished out and will have an update when I get more done on it. Thanks for looking.
  3. lol, yea I haven't worked much on it lately, but I'm glad I got the cladding cut and glued.
  4. So, I haven't worked on this much lately, but I did get the body cladding cut and glued together. The bed pieces need some repair, but overall it's looking good. Thanks for looking.
  5. Thanks. I got a update. So I cleared it, and it is really rough, so after a few days it will be wetsanded and polished out. Then I have to tape it up and do all the black parts on the body. I painted the wheels flat/semi gloss black, and I also finished the chassis, and weathered it a bit. Thanks for looking.
  6. The car is painted fathom green, and those paint cans are flat black, but I like that brand because it don't damage the plastic when you do interiors and other parts.
  7. So, I built this when the kit first came out, and was never happy with the way the paint came out. So a few days ago I was board, and decided to strip the paint. It came off very easily, and was ready for primer the next day. So today I painted it gm fathom green metallic, and it looks pretty good. I'm going to let it sit over night, then I am going to clear it the next day. It will not have the hood strip, since It was on the car when I stiped it, and I think it will look better without it. Hopefully I will have this build done soon, because I really want to finish atleast one more thing before the yaers over lol. I also started detailing the underside I FINALLY got this paint at Wal Mart. I have been waiting for atleast a month for it, and it was in the back room the whole time But I am good for awhile. But anyways, thanks for looking and I will keep you updated as I get more done.
  8. I started a thread like this awhile back, which gets bumped every saturday because of the title. It can be found HERE I need to post in that topic again, but I always forget.
  9. That looks great! Anymore pics?
  10. I have been working on this for a few months but never posted it. I swaped in a 440, bagged it, and some other minor things. I still need to run the airlines and find or build some air tanks. I Have only painted some misc interior parts, and still have to detail it. I am working on wiring the 440, and will try to finish that up soon. I know the bed does not sit right, and that needs to be fixed. Thanks for looking.
  11. here's mine, in no paticular order: '93 Ranger 4x4: Caddy Escalade: Street Kings Charger srt8 '99 silverado Camaro Concept Morris Mini '55 cameo 4x4 '04 GTO(hate this build) '92 mercury cougar
  12. Also been working on this, usa1 monster truck frame, 65 cab, made the bush guard, and the back half is scratch built. The little side doors will have shelves or something, that I will add in later. BTW sorry for the crappy pics, not used to taking pics of something quite this big lol I don't really know what I'm trying to do with this build, but I'm having fun. All I know is that it will be flat/semigloss black and will have rust, dirt and mud on it. But anyways, thanks for looking.
  13. So guys, I have been working on this for a bit today. I got it painted, but it is not what I said it was going to be orginally. I am really starting to hate this kit, and did not want to take 5 days to tape up the body for a two tone paint job. So I was out, and saw this paint and thought I would give it a try. IT works really well, but will be easier to write on when it's glued together. I am going to glue the front doors shut, but the side doors will still function if they line up good. I also did the trim on all the windows, which was a pain because there are so many, but now pic of that. BTW the chalk comes off really good, it's just hard to do with a camera in your hand. Thanks for looking.
  14. Since it's november, and I know I won't be finishing many more builds this year, maybe 2 at the most. How many have you accomplished this year? So far I have 9 done. Feel free to post pics, I will add mine later.
  15. Thanks, yea it is a 5.0 from the revell 92 mustang "lowrider".
  16. Thanks everybody. I've also been working on this a bit today. I got the inner skin started, and I'm not really sure were to go from here, but I'll figure it out. I need to strip the engine, because it's not going to be that color anymore: I'm not sure if I like the way this rear skin is coming out, but we'll see. Thanks for looking
  17. Ok so I got a little update on the ext. I got it primed, and is almost ready for paint. I need to finish the roll pan, and fix some little spots, but it's almost ready. I also painted the chassis, but I didn't take a pic. Thanks for looking.
  18. Thanks guys. and Micheal, it's painted testors one coat lacquer white lightning. I have more pics, but not of it stock, so I will get some here soon.
  19. So I am using this in the forgotten kit build off(which seems to be forgotton too), and thought I would post it here too. AMT's 05 escalade ext. So far I shaved the doorhandles, badges and added a roll pan, which will be sanded down and fill after the glue is dry. The rims on it now are the rims from the revell escalade, because I put the stock ones on the revell one. The stock escalade: the ext: The color is gonna be blazing black: So this one is gonna be more customized then the other escalade, but will still be mostly stock. Thanks for looking.
