Looks great Walt! Find any parts in the old carpet?

Thanks man, went with the single four albeit a very big one and wired and plumbed the solenoids into the manifold below the carb. Had stripped the chrome off the front cover/engine mounts and painted and installed that, installed glass and chrome and have done some decaling, need to do some more though please keep in mind I havent finished under the hood still go to do all the frontal stuff make a msd coil and finish the carb, then I can finish up the plug leeds out of useable contingency decals at the moment Can make up front spoiler to drop the nose to the weeds now

great work on the trans T Keep it up we want to see some color on this badboy

Dullcote may do it, try it on a bit of the sprue first

Thanks guys,was finally able to get an email sent to me so I could reset my password.

Anyone else having problems today? Its locked me out of my account, can't login at all

I'm definitely a few rungs down the ladder from the skill of Tyrone,so I use a lot of the 55/57 chev top sportsman kits as the basis for my builds. Theres some great resin bodies for Pro Mods out there...... Flashpoint Motorsports, Top End Miniatures to just name a couple, I'm sure there's some more that I don't know about either. Here's a link to my builds, as said all have utilized the top sportsman chassis and tin although some are slightly modified. You'll have to follo my sig and go to the doorslammer album because photobucket has locked me out at the moment

Beautiful (wait ! what? ) lol, work man, very well done

Thanks again guys , spent a bit of time wiring and foiling today, have to start on the engine soon thanks for looking in

Mineral spirits is turpentine and it will eat enamel based paint. I usually rub the affected area with a q tip soaked in the baby oil as soon as It happens so am unsure what the long term affects will be from soaking in it (ie leeching into the paint etc). Sorry if this doesnt help much, only other suggestion I have would be to glue a small piece of sandpaper to a pencil end or piece of dowel and try to sand (with just a twisting motion) the blob down as much as possible .

Looks like a great daily work horse to me. nice work

I agree. very cool

Very COOL, nice work !

Rob, Wayne posted his pics a few days ago down in the shows and contests forum

Nice work Felix ! Good to see a wip from you

Nice work Bob, glad to see your making progress on this one.

Althoughboth were changed a little all the body stuff is straight out of the box and strangely enough the 56 that I haven't done yet is bowed out in the middle. more pis page 2 and 3 here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v392/awesome55/tri%20fives/ don't think they are really any worse than the Henry j or possibly the others that I haven't built yet (Anglia etc).

Thanks guys, had a bit of trouble with the tape for the masks but turned out ok I think Trying to decide whether or not to put the skull n flames on the scoop, very unsure after last nights tape dramas

Thanks, got a start on the color now to draw out the mask templates

Kenny,it looks good man! Here's my first, its about 25yrs old now only thing painted was the sump and thats streaky lol. It can and does get better but don't stress it, we cant all be Teresi's, Kemp's , Stevens etc to name a few. Have fun most of all, the best learning happens when you enjoy what you are doing.

Thanks guys, I got some time back at the bench today Hogged out the rear wheel arches, and made up some skirts slapped on some Tamiya putty and a few hours later started taking it back off

From me three lol, best wishes mate

Kenneth ,check out my buildups here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v392/awesome55/doorslammers/works%20in%20progress/ not so much nitrous stuff (but one on the bench at the moment), but a bit of stuff that might help you out.

some bigger pics would be nice as it looks like you've done a great job on it

I probably wont be commenting on all your builds, very good as they are. but 65 Impalas have a special place to me so great wok Siim, keep it up.
