W-409

That is a great excuse to visit in a Donut Shop ! The Pickup is looking excellent. This is something that could have rolled out from Pontiac Factory. All shapes are perfect and body work is smooth, as is the paint. These kind of builds are really nice to follow, keep them coming.

Very cool! One of the best looking Corvette Concepts ever, and you're doing fantastic job in here. The paint looks excellent and that would be a nice kit to have in resin too. I can't wait to see that with BMF on the chrome trims!

Uh, that sure is ugly. It doesn't look like a Jeep, I think, it kinda brings some kind of European SUV into mind with that body style. I guess the 2002 Cherokee will stay in this Family.

Very cool and unique build! The changes you've done are tasteful and very well executed. Nice paint work also, what did you use for the Bumbers? Very nice work.

Das ist ein Gutes Idee, Jürgen! Ich muss das Idee probieren. (That is a good idea, Jürgen! I must try that. I have always used a method where I paint Satin Brown on the wooden area, and then brush paint some Clear Orange on it... That works somehow too, but your results are much better. Thanks for the great tip.

Here is one picture that I found. Hope it helps. Oh, here's another one...

Thanks Guys for the pictures and comments! The progress hasn't been too fast, since I've been a bit sick lately. But now I'm feeling better and I'm able to do some more work again and I started from the Frame. I had cleaned the Mold Flash already, but today it was putty time to cover those Ejector Pin Marks. Tomorrow I will sand them down, and put some more putty or paint primer on those parts.. We will see... Also the body has got some more putty and sanding. Maybe a primer coat tomorrow?

I have made some more progress with the '41 Plymouth, here we go... After spending a good while searching for parts for rear axle, or actually the wheel backs/inner wheels were the problem to find... Well I borrowed them from my '58 Chevy Sedan Delivery Pro Street build so I must find own parts for this later. Also the body don't quite fit on the frame, and from the front end there is a massive gap between those Frame Rails and body. That will make the front end stance look lower. So while test fitting the stance, I noticed that it's too high. I must lower the front a bit for the next mock up, also the rear tires seem to be a bit too front so that needs to be fixed for the next time as well. Here are pics of the mock up, the front end is clearly too high. I got the front end to a proper height now. The springs were lowered a little and then I moved the Axle on the other side of the springs, so that it is now between the frame rails and springs, not under the springs like it was one the First Mock Up. Also with a bit of sanding I got the body fitting properly. The engine is also Mocked Up. Some more progress... I cut the Gas Tank away and covered that area with Sheet Plastic. Next I need to put some Bondo there, and hopefully then I can move on to the paint shop. Also I put some more Bondo on the body, some sanding coming up tomorrow and possibly after that, a coat of primer.

Very nice '51 Chevy. Another one of those incredible, old builds that look like brand new. Nice work on it, smooth paint and excellent BMF work. I really like this one, makes me continuing my '51 Convertible.

Stock '49 Mercury is certainly a subject you don't see every day, especially in 1/25 scale. If I had all parts with that AMT '49 Mercury Glue Bomb that I got while ago, I would have built it Stock also, but since it was missing some parts, I chopped it and started building a Custom. You did fantastic job in here, nice paint and detail. Very refreshing to see one of these built Stock, great work. And some day, I'll get another AMT Merc' and that'll be Stock too!

That is one Super Nice - and of course SHINY Nova! That paint job is truly amazing and all of those little details whether they are in the engine bay or body, they look excellent. This might be one of my favorite builds I've seen from your bench, and I've seen some super nice builds from your bench earlier too.

Great trick on the Blower Belt, I've never thought of doing that! I really need to try it because your belts look very good. Very nice work overall, too. Especially I like the inside of that body...Very nicely detailed.

Heh, thanks Dale. It sure is great when there is real Drag Racing... Some Videos from Drag Race Week. Our Qualifying Runs Our Elimination Runs. And A Slow Motion Launch. '67 Plymouth Vip runs 7,901 in Street D! Street Qualification. Some Super Comp passes... Some Super Pro ET Qualifying Runs. Outlaw Qualifying Highlights. Super Pro Street Qualification. More Tomorrow...

Thanks Tony! I bet yours will look very good when finished, this kit is so great quality that it will turn out very good in your hands. Keep us posted when you get to it .

Another incredible build! Wow, these just keep coming. Really great to see a Stock '36 Ford for once, usually these are Hot Rodded, and sometimes they look good, but sometimes they can be really ugly. Stock is always very nice, just like this one. Perfect paint job and very nice and clean work overall. Keep these coming.

Another stunning Model from your bench... These just keep coming and all are very, very nice. I can't believe that it's a 20 Year-old build, it looks so good and fresh to me. Perfect color choice and nice work with the BMF again. Very nice build of one of my favorite Mopars.

WOW!!! Another stunning Mopar build from your bench ! You sure do nice work, the paint job is perfect on this one. I really like the body style too. So nice and clean... Congrats!

Yes! That engine looks so fine, too! As all of your builds do. Very nice work with all of them.

Very nice build of one of the finest looking cars of the '60s! The Engine Detail is very nice, and of course it is great to see a W-Block under the hood. Excellent paint work also and the look of this car is just perfect. Tires and all are just like 1:1 pieces. Incredible work.

That is as good as it gets, fantastic build of great looking car! As others have said, the BMF work is very sharp. Nice paint job too, but my favorite is that engine! If I couldn't see the Headlight lenses on that picture, I'd say that the engine is real. Very nice work. For the lenses, I have used white paint too, so that you paint the lenses white and then remove the paint from the center so that chrome will be seen a bit there. Very simple and it sure does make a difference...Here's a picture of my Super Bee Headlights where I used that trick.

Very nice X-Frame Chevy! I really like these bodies a lot and you did excellent job with this build. I like the look with body colored steelies and hubcaps, also the white walls fit very nicely to this. The other side with that text and black wall tires looks very good, too. Very nice engine detail, but as a fan of those "W" Engines, I'd like to see a better picture of it...It looks so good from here!

That's just like me in Summer Vacations! Very nice work with the concept. I've always thought that this looks very good and your build is looking fantastic. I can't believe that you created that masterpiece in so short time. I can't wait to see more..Oh and what is your plan for the windshield? It looks quite tricky to my eye, and I have same kind of problem with one of my Corvettes.

For me, this MCM is the Number One Forum, but I use some others more or less regularly too. Traditional Rods and Customs In Scale.

I've been drooling this one, really nice work! Pro Stockers are quite rarely seen subjects and I'd really like to build one. If I will, I hope it is okay to use this build as a reference?

Very nice build with lots of detail! Fantastic job on scratchbuilding the frame, all tubes are perfectly on place and really nice detail on the engine and interior. Sweet paint job, too. Congrats.
