Reeves Racing

Great job. The stance is spot on.

Thanks guys.

Super nice stuff Sam. The GMC hauler with the Mopar on the back is my favorite.

Heller kit pretty much OOB Duplicolor paint Parts box decals Wired the engine Used "extra" kit parts on the engine Major flaw with the kit is the bulkhead lacks about 3/16" from touching the body top. I didn't realize this until I had put too much of the kit together and didn't want to take it back apart to fix it. The rear body piece doesn't fit without a lot of work. The engine is far from accurate for any of the Porsche 907 908 series. Heller left it that way to use in other kits is what I suspect. Major win with the kit is the fit of all the clear parts. Outstanding fit. The wheels and tires. No mold lines on the body and just few pin marks.

Thanks Gene. Yes those are the kit tires, the front one have Dunlop lettering and the back ones have Good Year. I used the kit spinners on another build so I used some left over PE spinners. I used some very very thin styrene rod to make "piping" on the back of the seat to make the stripe.

One more to sneak in before the end of the year.

That is one to be proud of! It looks terrific!

Quick build before the end of the year. Revell kit. Parts box engine, Home made decals Duplicolor paint.

Very nicely done Art. That engine originally probably was all black except for the valve covers and air cleaner. They would have been painted gold or red depending on the engine size if memory serves.

That looks awesome. Nice work on the interior.

Yeah, that's the issue with modeling a car from one picture... that and I don't know much about 32 Highboys. My build isn't a faithful replica in many ways so the frame mods will have to fall on the artistic license and lack of research list of things not quite right.

You could drill them out and then use some styrene rod or some sprue to make new pins.

The chassis looks really good. The yellow should look great on the body.

I am not really a Hot Rod guy. Muscle cars and race cars are my true love so this kit was destine to be raided some more and eventually broken up into the various parts boxes I have.... But the other day I saw this car in another thread on here and had to build a model of it. I have always liked the old nostalgic So-Cal logo so I want this car on my shelf. I had raided the kit pretty badly so I am going to use a Boss 302 from the Revell 70 Mach 1 kit from my parts box and some headers and exhaust from the parts box. I will have to make my own SoCal decals. I tapered the kit frame to blend with the body sides more like the real car. I filled the indentions with strip stock and then ran a few stair stepped strips of layers to make it beveled. Kind of boat hull shaped. Next I had to fix a low spot on the left front corner of the body. And started fixing up the engine. I didn't follow the real car on the colors of the interior. I used some very thin styrene rod to make piping to flow the body stripe into the interior a little. I imagineered a fuel injection set up for the Boss 302 using the upper and lower manifolds from the Revell 99 Mustang Cobra kit. I stole the disc brake parts for use on anther kit so I got some drum brakes from my parts box. They are from the AMT Mercedes 300SL kit. I made some decals on my inkjet, not the best but okay. I had painted the black stripe. I didn't clean the body well enough after I color sanded the red and the clear reacted and turned out a little lumpy. I think I can sand it with some 800 and 1000 and polish it back out. It won't be my best build but it will look good on my shelf. This my first Hot Rod build in about 35 years.

The details in the engine bay including the staining and weather on the washer fluid and coolent reservoirs is the best I've seen. Way to capture the coloring of the old nylon tanks.

Great collection. My favorite is the yellow salt flats car.

Thanks guys. It's great to be back at the hobby again.

Great stuff Harry

Definitely, and Judge Wapner but K-Mart sucks.

This is just weird... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-25-Vintage-1-24-Custom-Made-Wagons-for-junkyard-diorama-parts-restore-/381470324097?hash=item58d1673581:g:tz8AAOSwLzdWTNSR

Outstanding job on both and super photography.

Nice work. Love the resotmod / protour Camaro

Crisp and clean work and great photography.

Great job. Makes me want to go buy this kit. Especially like the detail on the wheels. They look real.

We moved from Kansas to Kentucky in 2013 and my stuff was packed up for a couple of years. We rented at first and then bought a house. So I set up my new bench at the first of the year and got back at it. Half of these were stalled builds but they weren't completed until this year.
