  1. Thanks....... The coil is from SMBC
  2. I did one of these about a year ago for someone else. I thought it was kinda cool looking so I decided to do myself one. Getting close to being finished, still need to add some details and finish the chassis. Thanks for looking, Raisin

  4. Nice work, the top came out great and from what I can see of the interior it looks top notch too. Raisin
  5. Neat ride........I like the rims too, almost like a modern day Magnum 500. Raisin

    Thank You everyone, the comments are all appreciated. Ive been asked by a few about the hood ornament, why I shaved the other emblems and left it on. Well I did that because I have always liked hood ornaments but I can see the point they are making. It in fact might look cleaner without it so........I was lucky enough to find another hood in a junk box at last weekends SEMMEX show and Im making one without the ornament, now I will be able to display it either way.

  8. Yep I like it.........It really does have just the right "look" Raisin

    Nothing fancy here, was going for a clean look. Something you might see at a local cruize. Thanks for looking, Raisin
  10. Thanks Raul, The distributer is from a new company called Morgan Auto Details. Its probably the nicest pre wired distributer I have seen. Raisin
  11. Duplicolor "orange mist" over "chesnut brown". Shaved emblems and B pilar removed, Chrome reverse rims and baby moon caps. This is my first custom and was going for a clean simple look. Raisin
  12. The one I have looks to based off the old AMT Vicky, I ran into no surprises it went together pretty much as any plastic kit. Raisin
  13. Thank you everyone. Yes the printing on the hoses is a decal avalible thru scalemodelingbychris.
  14. Some awfull cool rides in here.........mines probably not everyones cup of tea, but I like it. Shes a 52 Ford Customline with 24,800 original miles (really). She has the 110 horsepower flathead V8 with the rare Fordomatic transmission and other than a set of dual exhaust (dealer installed option) is as stock as the day Henry made her. The 1952 license plate is the original plate that was on the car in 52. Thanks for looking, Raisin
  15. I remember that one!.................I worked the line putting dashboards in the Mark VIII's Monopod. Raisin
  16. Awesome Mustang Rudy! I belong to the downriver club you mentioned. Email me if you like and I can send you any information you might want about it. You would be more than welcome to "sit in" on a meeting. I also belong to a small group of guys that meet in Flint if thats closer for you. Raisin
  17. Finished this one last week. Thanks for looking, Raisin
  18. Thanks Raul, The lettering on the heater hose is a decal from SMBC, and yes all the brightwork on the interior is BMF. Thanks again, Raisin
  19. Havent done a factory stock in awhile so I decided to have a go at the kit I won as a door prize awhile back. A ways to go yet but I think I got a pretty decent start on it. Thanks for looking , Raisin
  20. The Flint Area Auto Modelers held their annual 1 day build this weekend. We all started with unopened Revell 55 Chevys and had about 8 hours to finish. I dont think there were any show winners in the bunch but sure was a lot of fun and a good way to spend a day with some friends. Heres a link to see the individual builds.......... http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v19/amaz...%20DAY%20BUILD/
  21. Thanks gbritnell, The resin body was mastered off the Firefighter kit so its very similar. The main differences are the wheel wells being corrected and the hood changed from a stock Mustang design to the Pro Stock version that extends all the way to the windshield allowing for the proper engine set back. These along with a few other minor improvements make it a nice piece to work with. Raisin
  22. Thanks Len, Some of the red is painted, but most of the graphics are from the Slixx decal sheet. Raisin
  23. Finished up the Mustang. Its made from an SMBC resin body and Ford Cleveland motor, chassis is from the Jukebox Ford kit, along with some scratchbuilding and several bits from a Pro Stock Thunderbird kit. Paint is Tamiya with Model Masters clearcoat, and decals are from Slixx. Thanks for looking, Raisin
  24. Johan Pro Stock Maverick kits are still readily avalible on EBAY, but they are rather expensive (usually selling for 50 - 75 bucks ). They have a fantastic engine, the body is very accurate, the interior is decent, but the chassis is pretty basic. Raisin
