Spectacular work as always Túlio! I do enjoy the builds you post. David G.

It looks like it could have been a factory-built car. David G.

Very well done! David G.

Hello everybody! When I started building this kit I had planned to build it as a beat-up post-apocalyptic vehicle pieced together using salvage and remnants, a la "Road Warrior". When I saw how the paint looked on the body, I liked it so much that I decided to change my plans. I switched from the "Road Warrior" universe to the "Car Wars" universe. Car Wars is a board game from the 80's set in the 2030's in which manslaughter has been decriminalized and auto manufacturers offer accessories like machine guns and smoke screens. So that moves us from a grungy lo-tech motif to a slicker high-tech look. I've started updating the dashboard with techie-looking gizmos. For those who may be interested, here is a little Car Wars background from Wikipedia and a video from the Steve Jackson Games. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.

I got some paint sprayed last weekend. Yeah, I know that it's the same color as the box art. What can I say, those artists pick good colors. The Duplicolor paint was a little too hot and crazed a little bit. I should be able to smooth it down and spray another coat then polish it... hopefully. Thanks again! David G.

Very convincing rust and details- well done without being over done. David G.

It just keeps getting better! David G.

Excellent work! The car, the setting- even the figures look great. David G.

Glad to see this one back on deck Darren! Looks Great! David G.

Thank you all for the comments. I really do find inspiration in your feedback. I managed to fabricate a simple hinge for the pop-top. I removed the rear seat cushion and replaced it with a piece of diamond plate steel. I made the steel plate by using a piece of aluminium foil to take an impression from a parts box trailer deck. I then glued the foil to a thin piece of styrene and painted it to look a little rusty. I got the front valance glued into place. I've decided to omit the stock bumper and use a push bar from the parts box. As always, thanks for looking and please feel free to comment. David G.

Nice progress, looks great so far. Best wishes for your Dad's surgery- hope everything works out ok. David G.

Excellent detail work and weathering. David G.

Great color choice and excellent paint work! David G.

Your level of added detail is fantastic! David G.

Flawless! David G.

It looks like something from Heavy Metal magazine! David G.

The front two flares are integrated into the chin spoiler so each is unique. I believe that the remaining six could be cast from two masters, one left-handed and one right-handed. David G.

After looking at my options I agree with you. I'm sure to have enough of a challenge creating the spoilers and flares. David G.

Nice pair of American classics! David G.

Nicely Done! I never would have guessed that it was a snap kit. David G,

Knowing how AMC borrowed from the "Big Three", it may be based on the same block. David G.

Thanks Harpo. I used Tamiya flat black (XF-1) acrylic thinned with Windex applied with a brush. David G.

Each one looks good enough to pass for 1:1. David G.

Hello everybody! I had the time and energy to get a bit more done on the Pacer. I got the engine completed this weekend. I decided to use the stock 258 6 cylinder as is. K-Mart oil filter included! At home in the chassis. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feeel free to commen, David G.

Absolutely Amazing! Everything looks perfect! David G.
