  1. and I wouldn't be accepting any mountain dew either lol
  2. Wow man. you've really outdone yourself this time. Easily your best work yet
  3. yep , its a little horse shoe shaped piece with a step on it. Pics aren't the greatest but it looks like it will be a nice looking build when you're done
  4. Ok thats pretty simple then. Pretty sure the AMT pro street nova fits under 57 chevs with little hassle providing wheeltubs 4 link and a basic cage to add to or replace. The AMT 62 impala has been released as the Mr 409 (so just find one of the super stock releases), and with a little wheelebase stretching the Revell top sportsman chassis will fit nicely under a 62 impala, the problem here being finding a wagon. As I said before ask specific questions, and some one here will be able to help you out . Theres a couple of members on the board who were or are doing drag radials, check out the resin section for Ma's resins or Shucky.
  5. Without a second thought!!
  6. Well, you've started the right way, by asking questions, but to give the right answers we need to know the right questions (not as confusing as it sounds lol). As in what type of cars you want to build ,eg camaro super stocker, pro mod corvette, econo/altered etc. There's a huge amount of knowledge here, and we're all willing to share, so start building, start asking and soon you too will be running what you brung . Bart I tend do disagree on your clubs view a little, it depends on the club. I'm a bit younger than most in my club, and theres a few drag builders there. Several who could place very well in any international comps, took the time to teach me several (including basic ) things that seen a huge leap in my skill set. It's just a matter of finding the right one. and Jerry, follow Robs (Jantrix ) advice, master the basics clean up the mold lines sink marks etc, You'll have a much better base with which to start these killer builds.
  7. As if you werent a killer builder already..................... they had to teach you this . WOW!! Great job T
  8. Wow, it looks fantastic in the pics, wish I could see it up close
  9. Same as Andy here, do any body work (mold lines etc) wash then foil. Trim close to the letters, then prime, lightly sand to (I use 2000 wet and dry here) remove primer from them . Then the same with paint
  10. Thanks again, Vince, these originally started because a CBP was started and I thought a team of race cars would be cool. But interest seemed to fizzle out pretty fast ,so I just started my own thread in here.
  11. Chris I took these pics of a reasonably historically correct (safety updated mainly) BBC Nitro car last year. Looks to me they bolt to the front of the block hope this helps bud, your parts look great
  12. wow Rob, that looks great man
  13. Very cool (as always) Darryl. Up to your usual very high standards, I'ld hate to compete against your builds.
  14. Thanks guys, much appreciated . Vince, I dont have a problem with that, but you should start your own thread just to showcase your work. But as I said really don't mind. Russ, thanks very much but I think your praise may be a little high. There's some great brass chassis ( and other work ) in these forums that I couldn't hold a candle to. That said I try to improve everytime I build one so maybe I'll get there one day . That said and done I've pulled the injector hat off and am raising it up into cleaner air. Still working on ( or reworking) some decals , so progress may be a little slow for a couple of days.
  15. Thanks guys, hoping to get some more work done on it tomorrow
  16. You have a sickness my friend one that I could not afford ( financially ) to catch although the results sure speak for themselves. Doesn't hurt that you got a lot of talent either , Keep at it bro , we're all watching.
  17. I'm with him, in fact I think he read my mind. Excellente my friend
  18. Decided to leave the guard (wall damage ) and started the decaling process on this one today as well.Pics are a little dark but will get better ones in a couple of days when some more progress is made
  19. Thanks guys, got the decaling started today need to find a couple more, will checkout Slixx soon
  20. Hey !!! I was gonna say that . I admit I wasnt to fussed when you were hinting at going black on it but have to admit it does look Good. Personally I think black needs a lot of chrome or graphics to bring out the body lines but again thats just my opinion and again ,it does look good
  21. Very cool Rob, its looking great so far. Yeah those turbo cars are tricky to plumb up arent they
  22. Wow John, great work !!
  23. Thanks guys, been really busy lately and to be honest to tired to do much in the way of modelling (worried I'd screw something up), but got a little more done' btw Gordon, you want red? checkout this shot with the flash on
  24. The King of the 70's pro stocks again wows us with another killer build. Thanks Roger, its a great looking build
  25. man I love looking at your work, clean precision detailing that leaves no stone unturned. I learn stuff every time you post pics, thanks Bro
