Looks great! A nice quick build. David G.

I'm on board for this one (sorry), it looks to be an interesting project. Do you plan to super detail this like your Star Destroyer? David G.

Nice conversion. David G.

Thank you Rusty. How far along are you on yours? I got the dashboard decal applied yesterday, I should be posting more photos soon. David G.

Looks great! David G.

Definitely do a spoon test first. It's best to know about possible compatibility issues before painting the body. Whenever I feel discouraged with the way one of my builds is going, I remind myself of a saying that I came up with years ago: "Each kit I build is really only practice for the next one." I even put it in my signature line. David G.

What a great concept. I can't wait to see what you do with this. David G.

Beautifully Done! Paint and detailing are excellent as is your photography. David G.

Nice van, great work on the figure too. Many people paint the figures too shiny, yours looks just right. David G.

Looks great! Nice rescue. David G.

Great color and stance, good solid looking build. Well Done! David G.

Looks fantastic! The flame decals are excellent, are they from the kit? David G.

I have to say, I've never seen a lowrider Camaro. This should be interesting. David G.

Thank you Carl. Thanks Tom. The steering wheel did indeed have some mold alignment but they weren't that serious. Thank you David. I've heard that about those mirrors. If I'm not mistaken, the Corvette convertibles of that era also had a dash mounted rearview mirror. Of course, there were no rear seat passengers to block the view though. Thank you Chaz. David G.

Wow! ? Beautiful finish on the paint, congrats! David G.

Hello People. I have the interior nearly complete so it's time to post some pics. Here is the painted and flocked interior tub. It's a bit shallow and there's not a tremendous amount of detail but there it is. The rear view mirror offered by AMT is supposed to be mounted on either the ceiling or the dashboard. According to my research, both of those options are incorrect. In all the examples I've been able to find, the mirror is mounted to the dashboard on the side of the instrument pod, not the center of the dash or the ceiling. So it's time for a little corrective surgery. I stripped the chrome from the mirror and drilled a hole to accommodate the bailing wire. I also drilled the barrel shaped casting at the bottom with the intent of using it for the base grommet on the mounting shaft. (sorry for the crummy cell phone pic) Here is a test fit to check the angle. The drilled bit on the mirror base didn't work out as planned so instead, I stripped a piece of wire insulation and trimmed it to fit. Here is the rearview mirror mounted to its correct location on the dash. Just a few more finishing touches and the interior will be complete. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to leave a comment. David G.

That should work. David G.

It's a bummer about the paint Declan but as is said the paint can be stripped. I would recommend SuperClean over Purple Power as the former offers better performance in removing paint and chrome plating from model car parts. Here is a link to an MCM discussion on the topic from a few years ago. Hope this helps. David G.

You ain't kiddin'. David G.

Sweet! David G.

I don't know if I've seen one of these built up yet. I'll be watching with keen interest. David G.

You have a way of building some of the most terrifying vehicles I've ever seen! ? Beautiful work as always. David G.

That turned out great! Nice work on the figure. To me, there's still something just a little creepy about that one. David G.

It's nice to see this one back on the bench again, great progress too. Don't feel bad about the oil filter, I made labels for the shocks on my 71 Charger! David G.

Wow! That is just spooky cool! David G.
