  1. Thanks Lei! Stay tuned, there will be more!
  2. Thank you Jim, John, David, Larry, David, Carl and Donato!
  3. The basic engine has been assembled and drilled for ignition wires. The chassis has been assembled and is ready for semi-gloss black paint. The wheels and tires have been assembled and painted since the decals didn't fit and they had separated.
  4. My '97 Mustang GT is finished and over on Under Glass. I would like to thank everyone who has viewed and commented on my WIP.
  5. It is done! My '97 Mustang GT is done and I couldn't be happier! This kit was a bear to build. It sits high. Some parts fit was awful. The front track is too wide. The hood has no clearcoat since I did run out of it. A trip to the LHS is in order.
  6. These are the last pictures of the 360 engine that I am going to take. The engine is done and it is what it is.
  7. Thanks Alex! I moved the oil filter to the other side of the engine block.
  8. I hope so, too Brenton! The wheels and tires are done and the engine is getting there. I just need to add the air cleaner and the ignition coil. I am probably going to far adding details the a van without an opening hood.
  9. Thanks MM and Carl!
  10. I painted the engine last night before turning in. I added the valve covers, carb and wired distributor to the engine block this morning.
  11. The kit I got was loaded with flash! I wouldn't recommend this kit, but to a person with mega-patience. you must have gotten an early kit.
  12. My newest project, the 1982 Dodge Street Van. Even though the box says Rescue 911 Ambulance., I dipped into my parts box for the parts to make the Street Van. I will paint the van with Testors One Coat Lacquer Mystic Emerald with the custom interior painted a contrasting green. The engine will be wired and has been assembled and holes drilled in the distributor cap and the heads for the wires.
  13. Thank you everyone! This build is not perfect, but it does look nice!
  14. Thanks Ken! A friend of mine from the Classic Plastic Model Club just picked up the same kit and I told him that this kit is a piece of junk. Maybe he'll listen to me or not.
  15. Thank you everyone! Your words mean a lot to me!
  16. The '97 Mustang GT is almost done. I just have to add the windows to the body, install the body onto the chassis and I am done!
  17. Thank you EMRE, Carl, Mario and Vince! This kit was a pain in the a**, but if I had to do it all again, I would use the same kit and complain about it!
  18. It is finally done! My '71 Olds 442 W-30 is finished after over a year of construction time and just plain ignoring it. The paint is Tamiya TS-21 Gold with a Black interior and Black stripes, wide and wider tires.
  19. Thank you Jeff and Larry!
  20. Michelle, this is the old kit with WalMart packaging and I bought it from a friend in my Model Club.. Like most AMT/MPC kits, it stinks! I had a lot of trouble with it. Thank you Michelle and Andy!
  21. Thank you Larry!
  22. This is my Blue Bloods ‘71 Chevelle SS 454 painted with Tamiya TS-58 Pearl Light Blue, Black interior, Cragar SS mags. The real car is an automatic and the model is 4-speed.
  23. It is actually a 440 with a 6 pack.
  24. Thank you everyone! For over 10 years this model needed some finishing touches and I think I have finished it!
