brett

First off thanks for all the nice comments. Secondly a cbo is a great idea as theres heaps more I'ld like to build but........(everyones always gotta have a but t right?) as this ones got its own thread already I'ld like to keep this one that way. Torinobradley ,start a thread man or start the build off I'm sure lots of us would like to see it (I would). Heck I might even start another just to join it lol. mediamonk most of well half defineatly of my local club collect them too. Personally I have a few hundred but I stick to mainly muscle car,hot rod and drag with the occasional oddball like this one. Well its saturday morning here so I'm heading out to the shed soon to do some more.

Thank you everyone ! its most encouraging as well as rewarding to hear/read your comments

OHH man that paint is looking sooo sweet ! as is the rest of the build

Niko, looks good for a quicky

lol at Matt. Great stuff Shane, gunna be awesome with all the extra detail you're putting in

todays progress included throwing out(to the parts bin, I dont throw nothing away) those ugly cutaway front guards and using a set from an AMT 32 5 window and started on the frame got to beef up the frame but that is the final ride hight.Think I'll go for a ladder bar rear suspension its not suitable for leafs (easiest) and too long for a four link imo. rear shot

My local clubs having a build a hot wheels night in sept where you can pick any hot wheels you'ld like and build it. Now me being me I couldnt choose a "normal "one so I chose the Mid Mill. whats that you ask ? started with this very disappointing gem ,good thing I didnt need much of it mocked up out of the box nah chopped up and mocked up now this was yesterdays progress

simply outstanding build and you're not even finished yet ! As well as a great tutorial. Thanks for the show as well as the lesson

Thanks guys yea Lee, drew them out onto masking tape cut then applied to car

Your work is outstanding to the highest order.Simply brilliant

for those who weren't watching lol heres the buildup http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=31606 heres it quasi finished.(need to fix/finish right hand side zoomies) not gonna happen in the near future

Built this one about 5 years ago. all detailing was from stuff around the house like the plastic coated wire they tie toys into their packaging with

looking really good Bob. Following along for when I do mine,hopefully it'll turn out half as good as yours

awesome! almost looks like bare metal

I think this is the LEVEL ALL of us ASPIRE TO. Unbelievable (well it would be if I didnt just see it) work. I'm going to hang around down here more often I think.

well heres my disaster zone finishing up the elcamino as you can see theres also a 60 impala and a cuda doorslammer in progress on the table

I think you're crazy too ........ but then so am I because I like it

Thanks Mike ,doh. Got it foiled today and re scalloped and recleared so on the home stretch now ]

Those lines look great Bob as does the rest of the build

Beautiful pickup Jim.Love the color

Thanks Kevin, well since you last seen this its been for a swim in the easy off ocean as it appears my BMF was stickier than my paint ( the paint turned out so well that I foiled it a bit too soon I think and before clearing and whel pulling off the excess pulled off some paint). Not a happy camper. But back in pearl white with roof and hood colored ,will leave a couple more days then paint the scallops on the sides

only a little progress at the moment, got the interior stuff made up bottles, dash and belts not going to detailed with this as nobody will see much of the interior with the doors closed.

very nice man , great save

and although I feel kinda guilty about scoring/grabbing so much ,I did wait quite a while before making my selections and some had left before I got my last few things. So should I feel guilty? I am a relatively newer builder than most (been in the club longer than some but in terms of the hobby newer than most of our members?) so dont have the huge stashes that some of them have.
