Wagon? You have my attention! Nice so far

A lot of people hated that grill and I always loved it. My 2nd favorite of that body style only to the 73 Power Wagon. Cool topic.

Dale JR Wins!!!! Awesome stuff and I like the new cars. Kinda shame that Chevy and Toyota didn't do anything like Dodge and Ford. Challenger and Mustang is cool. I'm surprised Chevy didn't do the Camaro. Toyota couldn't do anything if the wanted unless they brought back the Supra. Congrates JR fans!

Hey Mike I will look forward to your build as well. I am not sure if the Revell kit is the same or not. I know this is the same chassis as the old "WarBird" in this following picture. The Bird has the same stock or drag option. Maybe someone else can enlighten us. I can't picture the wheels off hand but if they are what I am thinking they are,.. I might have them on a messed up promo. Let me do some research Also thanks for the comliments guys. Time to go work on it some more

That is Awesome! Great job!!

I like the direction this is taking. Nice so far I'm watching

Thanks for pointing that out! I am sure I can save it with some water. Thank goodness I didn't clear it due to the chips in the front. Everything happens for a reason I guess

Yeah I still I need to do that. I can't look at the car and leave that white I actually tried to foil the whole lower part of the dash but my skills are not there yet to get around all those knobs on the dash of this car. Someday... but I have only foiled one car so far so I'm not pushing issues yet

Hi everyone This here is a Monogram release of Midnight Z. I'm doing this basically stock though and based on a color combo that was offered on this car. I may add a couple tweaks to it as I go but this is the start. I also already made myself more work. I started this during a weekend get away and dropped it packing up to come home. Now the nose needs some work already. Oh well... enjoy!

Hey guys, Here is an update. Some good news and some bad news. I finally found a decal scheme I like with the interior which is the good news. Bad news is after paint I have to carefully open the hood more so it sits right with the engine in the car. The engine is to far forward using the metal axle set up. That I'm not worried about to much since I will not be using anyway more than likely. I have these tires/wheels just temporary. I have to strip the ones I want with Westley's Bleach White. Also my wash is not done yet on the front and back due to how shallow the chrome is. More soon Enjoy.

Cool looking car and I love the interior. It's funny when a couple guys think along the same lines as I started mine about a week ago and never saw yours. This is mine from the workbench section the color is so close its scary

Now that brings back some memories and some races I had recorded on "tape" lol. TNN's later era. Looks like a short track car with the openings in the bumper and headlights. I need to learn how to do screen openings. I want to make a short track car soon. Looks great and the 24 hours meet to boot? Awesome!

Nice cruisers and it's neat to see you can make ones of cars you have really hit the road in.

Sharp! That red one looks mean. I'll have to dig out the late 80's one I have. Looks kinda fun

Good stuff man cool to see and I'm glad you have a bunch of older ones to look at. Never take it forgranted like I did until 100's were destroyed. Thanks for sharing these.

Thanks again guys. It was fun to do a back to basics model but now that it's sitting I'm getting the bug to detail the engine and such

Here is an update. Tuesdays are usually slow at work so I took paint, the kit, and some glue and got busy I put down the primary base coat as well as the white interior. I didn't take a pic yet but I did an over spray fade on the chassis too. I finished the base to the engine but there is a lot of detail to add still. This is based on an old AMT kit ( Even has a tv and phone) so the engine is not very well detailed at all and going with the blower I had to give up the intake manifold with the distributor.This is still all in moch up only. I'll update more when I can so Enjoy!

Toby this came out awesome man! You did great on all 3 kits and I have to say I am really impressed with the body work on the nomad to get it smooth. No trim. Looks great.

Awesome Starliner David! I have 2 junk/project cars of this and I think I just got some motivation Also that Soo Line Red... I need to find me some so I can make some Soo locos Nice buddy!

Rod this kit is actually a 2007 copyright from RC2. It is a re- release and the plastic seems a little different. It's almost transparent. Had a little clean up needed but not as bad as a resin usually dose. This may be part of a set as someone in my club has a couple of them and other cars in packaging like this. Color wise I'm going with an oddball shade of a gloss purple. I was thinking 2 tone with a light purple almost pink for scallops or graphics. I may ditch the 2 tone. I'm thinking white interior, white wall tires and it being full blown custom.

Thanks David! I was thinking width. Like a flexable thin pinstripe masking tape. I was thinking of less chrome on this on the sides and doing scallops or something.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I have to say I was very weary of trying BMF. I pulled out an old model book and read some tips on it. Outside of the BMF it actually felt nice to make a "back to basics" style build too. I think this came out pretty good from the score of this kit ( $5 bucks) to the end. I may go back and add details but over all I had no problems with fitment either. Also thanks David!

I found this in a Facebook ad and thought it was cool. Maybe a model idea?

Nice! I love the detail and the paint. I am a die hard Jeff fan and I know what its like to get the flack but I will be a fan for the rest of his career! I will be doing a rookie car soon.

Nice Chevys and I have to say that old Terry is one of my favorites of all time.
