W-409

Thanks a Lot Jeff! It means a lot when coming from such a talented builder as you. I got the seat done. It needed more work than I thought, but the end-result is pretty good I think. I had to use quite a lot putty for the seams what came when I glued those two parts together, and once I had sanded it few times and added more putty, I painted the seat red and those chrome trims silver. I didn't use BMF, because it couldn't be seen so well after all. Then I removed the paint from those "High spots". I have no idea what they are in English, but I've seen those in 1:1 cars. Decals are from the kit. I have to install it next, and then put the seat belts on, stay tuned.

I'm not a ProMod type of guy, even if I have one in progress, but I think it looks really good so far! I can't say any bad words of it, really nice. Just remember to add the window net once you get the cage painted. What engine you are going to use? Oh and you can find good reference from those ProMod builds in here. Here are few I have used on mine. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=48179 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=67869&page=1 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=46538 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56886 http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61587 Hope this helps.

Looks Excellent! There can never be too many Stockers or Super Stockers, especially when they are built very nicely. As This. My favorite part is the Detailing on the engine bay, it looks just like 1:1 engine. Nice paint and decaling too. How did you make the Air Cleaner? You said it's scratchbuilt. What materials you used?

When I finish one, I can start 10 without feeling bad, but that really makes the Project stash huge, and causes slowly finishing projects, when trying to build too many cars at the same time. Otherwise I'm doing Okay.

As always, Doctor amazes me with his excellent builds! Really like this one, the "Black" looks really good and fits nicely on this one. You pulled this out very fast, Congratulations on that, too. All the "Junk" in trunk and interior, nice ideas all over (For example the Crankshaft as Frame Crossmember etc) make this pop out! Really nice.

Thanks guys for the excellent comments! What Marty says, is true. Needs to say it is just Stock build. Thanks! Bernard: Thanks! Next I will probably finish the '62 Impala in Drag Racing Models, or '64 Belvedere in NASCARS section, or.........

Very nice Buick! One of the nicest cars Buick ever made, your version does it a justice. Very good paint job and nice detailing all over. I really like this one. And hey- Can't wait to see the GNX. There can never be enough Grand Nationals.

...And We Have SparkPlug Wires! I had bit trouble with the Wire Looms, this was the first time ever I tried them. They make wiring look much better, so I hope to use them more in the future. I decided to go with the Yellow wires this time.

Thanks! I don't know where it is from, I found it from my parts boxes. But I'm guessing it's AMT Engine. I've been in trouble with the spark plug wires. I hope to get them installed today.

Very nice job with the Camaro so far, especially I like what you did for the Headlights. The rear spoiler looks very nice too. And beautiful Chassis work!

That is Nice! I like the paint job on it, nice color too. Details on the engine are fantastic, and I do like the little updates you made. The new Headers look much better, same thing with the Chute.

The reason why I always clear coat, is that it makes it much easier to get that correct shine to the paint job. It makes Polishing easier, too. And since Hornets were shiny from the factory, I think it's not too critical mistake. Do you guys see if the model is clear coated or not? I know I can't .

Thanks Marty! I'm planning to build one Custom version of this kit at some point in the future. Gasser would be nice to build too, to match '60s Gasser Rules. And thanks for the information about the clear coat! I can't get the rest of my text in here, somehow it won't post it. The rest is on the next post.

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Och Hej Stefan. Det är trevligt att se fler människor från Nothern Europe här. (Don't know if that's correct, had to use Google Translator. My Swedish is not very good). I'm slowly working on the interior. If I get the seat decals installed today, I will post small update on the progress with that seat. Thanks for looking guys, and for the great comments.

A little update on my '86 Camino, after sanding, sanding and sanding I decided to try how it looks in color. It's Maston spray paint and the paint job turned out Okay. I'm going to do light wetsand and then it will look better. Clearcoat still to come, too. Also I've made some rough sanding with the chassis, more of it coming later...

Thanks Richard! It means a lot.

Thanks Al, much appreciated.

Amen! Nice to hear that I'm not the only one "Who eats worms rather than installs big wheels with low profile tires on a car". Very nice T-Bird. I can't believe you managed to build this nice model in Two Days! Turned out fantastic.

A lot of work behind on this one, it does feel good to get it painted doesn't it? Looks fantastic to me, really nice bodywork you have done, and the paint looks smooth and shiny too. Really nice.

There is one game I play. Street Challenge. It is a game on PC, I guess it works via Internet. Oh and it's a Drag Racing game where are a lot of different cars, you can buy speed parts for them and tune the Gear Ratios to get it run correctly etc. You can adjust the Dial In, run Bracket or Heads Up, Holeshot wins are possible etc. An excellent game, worth trying. Oh and it's basically free, but you can get more garage space with little amount of $$. What I have in Garage now: 1. '69 Camaro Super Comp car, running 8,9 times. Just ran 8,9002 today. 2. '78 Chevy Malibu Outlaw 10,5 Car. In Bracket setup it runs with 6,5714 index, it's really consistant. And when I want to drive Heads Up, it goes 6,3's. 3. Plymouth Superbird Pro Mod. Runs high 5,8 times. 4. Mustang Top Fuel Funny Car. Best ET so far is 4,7102. And my NickName is NickL. Other than that game, I play games quite rarely.

Finally got one right, or at least I had a clue of what it Could be. Never liked the 1:1 Sebring, but this is even uglier.

Wow! That is fantastic, those parts got to be small to handle. You do extremely nice job. But I have started wondering, if this is 1:1 scale Funny Car that you are building instead of 1:16?

Thanks Michael! The dash is waiting for bondo, so no pics of it yet. Also, I have been trying to figure out what to do with the paint job, because after the first clear coat, something strange happened and it needs to be wetsanded, I believe. Hope to have more soon.

Thanks Guys for the positive comments! Yeah, when I saw the Movie, that Doc Hudson was one of the nicest cars in it.

Heh, thanks Bart! Here we go again. I painted the Engine Block orange and Cylinder Heads are Aluminium. Blower intake Manifold and Cragar blower are on their place too... Next making the spark plug wires. Al: Pontiac looks fantastic, keep the pix coming!
