    What's the give-away? Is it that there's no side skirts from the ground effects (that was my first thought)? I ask because while peruesing eBay and other sources,I can't remember the differences between the Revell-o-Gram kits (memory is an issue with my injuries from 2001),and knowing the diff's would help me choose more wisely,LOL! (I DO remember not enjoying the build of one of those AMT '87-90 GT kits,though I don't remember why...) I have a gluebomb of a 1:24 Monogram SVO that's missing parts that I had scored in a trade as "extra stuff" that had been thrown in for "boot"...I had wondered if one could make a '87-93 GT or LX with it's body+another's nose/tail (or even a 1:24 stock GT hardtop using the SVO body and one of Monogram's ragtop GT kits...)

    That one deserves to be finished! Looks sweet I have some Fox Chassis kits coming in soon (from trades and a bit from eBay...SHHHH.don't tell the wife! ),I'd like to get on one (or 3..) soon myself!
  3. Olskoolrodder
    Yeah,get em going! I haven't done anything more to mine since last post...been going round n round with the shop that butchered my 1:1 and the parts store that sold me bad parts (but won't honor the extra labor I have to pay because of their bad parts) all week...sigh. HOPE to get some done this week coming though (no work tomorrow probably,wife's birthday )
  4. Olskoolrodder
    Sounds like an ice cream cone (you got it licked) then Looking forward to seeing it,my friend
  5. Olskoolrodder
    OK...that sinks it-despite that I'm dragging feet on getting going back to building,AND that there's at least four projects needing done (started,LOL),I NEED to get me a Fox project going soon That sucks about the issues you're having,Brother if I had that kind of skill you know I'd offer to help out (I don't,LOL,i's beyond my reach,let alone comfort zone). They're ALL kool projects,and inspiring to me
  6. Olskoolrodder
    He gots my interest already!!! :D
  7. Olskoolrodder
    Thanks,my friend! Now if I can just get the 1:1 to be so easy...it's STILL in the shop to get the new clutch and .373 installed (they got it last Monday,I had it back Wed. eve and Thursday,had to take it back)...sigh
  8. Olskoolrodder
    LOL,it'll get there! I'll be looking for it Got the rear of the HT grafted on. Needs some filler,then putty and file work yet,but it's on there,LOL! More to come,thanks for looing
  9. Olskoolrodder
    LOL,thanks You got that Fox posted up,I'm fixing to drool!
  10. Olskoolrodder
    Thanks my friend,and as for color on the HT...don't know yet,LOL! The fronts were a bit easier to cut precisely than the rears. I have one grafted on,but it will still need a bit of puty and file work. After and Before pics:

    I'm finally getting to the bench and getting a couple started (Both Monogram 1:25 kits). I gots the '94 Cobra/Indy Pace Car ragtop and GT hardtop kits,and I'm converting them to a GT ragtop (like my 1:1) and a Cobra hardtop. The most noticable differences are the bumpers,wheels,and certain engine bits,so I've been doing a bit of bodywork today. So far,I've only got the front bumpers swapped and fender emblems sanded off. Here's some pics... Before and after... I'll try and get the rear bumpers swapped today too,kids permitting,LOL!
  12. Olskoolrodder
    LOVE it!!! :D :D
  13. Olskoolrodder
    One of my favorites from the cbp thread! AWESOME conversion,looks almost 1:1 :D
  14. Olskoolrodder
    This is looking good!
  15. Olskoolrodder
    IDK...I barely have room to build now,or time oddly enough,LOL! I thinks I'd rather see if someone who knows what they're doing look into casting them...
  16. Olskoolrodder
    Got my diecast '94 GT Ragtop in from eBay today (I'll try and shoot/posta pic later). It's in NIB condition,but man those things were a bit...not well assembled,LOL! I may yet go ahead and pull it's wheels for the replica I want to build of my 1:1...then again,I may not,may find another one that isn't the same color as my real one,LOL! I WILL get one started this weekend (barring major unforseens) Edit: Here's pics
  17. Olskoolrodder
    Yessiree,the more the merrier!!! :D
  18. Olskoolrodder
    Good looking Stangs,whethe build last week or last century! I likes em! And you get the honor of having been the first to post up some builts in here too
  19. Olskoolrodder
    Thanks,Tony ,and me too (loved Mustangs always)...I waited WAY too long to buy my second one (21 years,LOL!)
  20. Olskoolrodder
    IDK Rick...never seen those in scale-that don't mean that they weren't made,I just never seen em. Kaleb-that'll be sweet when you get her back on the road! Kool beans on the 8.8" too
  21. Olskoolrodder
    Good idea!
  22. Olskoolrodder
    LOL,went on eVilbay yesterday,found 2 ending yesterday,one a bidder,the other a buy it now. I bid on the blck bidder first,but when it went past what the B.I.N. one shipped for,I bought it then. I probably won't want to pull it's wheels off though...looks just like my 1:1,I need another (and thus it begins,LOL)
  23. Olskoolrodder
    Got one
  24. Olskoolrodder
    Hey there,Rick ol buddy! How's ya doin'? Scored this off eVilbay this eve.... ...but I doubt I'll pull it's wheels off for my build project,since it's a virtual clone of my 1:1 OOB... SO sooner or later,I'll be looking for another to score another set of those wheels,LOL!
  25. Olskoolrodder
    Yeah,this should be an open ended cbp,just like the Fox Chassis sister thread Maindrain Pace-Nice collection,my friend! I don't have that many of em,but I'm getting there,LOL! I need to find another '99 Cobra or 3,when the old house burned back in June,the 2 I had were kinda melted,LOL! I got's time though,they're not too hard to find (just have to find one when the wife isn't with me to say :What!? ANOTHER kit???" )
