  1. Very nice Monza, turned out very well. I'm a fan of these H-Body cars too, so this one is one of my favorite subjects too. Nice paint job, as usual and very clean build over all.
  2. I found these two Carburetors from my parts box... What do you say about them, would they be more realistic than that one, I've already glued to the engine?
  3. I've made some progress for the Chevelle too. New Belt Pullies are from my parts box, alternator too and new engine drive belt is made from paper. I also fabricated alternator bracket out of beer can aluminium. Then I built Turbo Wastegates. They are not so great as they could be, but just enough for me: They can't be seen well from finished build, only little part of them will be visible. I have built some chassis too, no pics yet but I can say that rear axle is almost there. Only thing I need to do for it, is little narrowing, since now tires don't fit nicely inside rear fenders, but when I take few millimeters off from the rear axle, everything will be all right, I guess. Of course I don't know what needs to be done for the front end...
  4. Oh yes, it's far away from Factory Stock, and I'm building Model of that car, when I get this started. So I'm gonna use that one as reference, it's the famous Art Russell Plymouth, but today it is located here in Finland! Reference pictures are possible to get and luckily V8 Magazine just released an article of that car. Thanks, Robert!
  5. Another Very Cool Build! I like this idea too, and very nice execution. Maybe the wheels could be little smaller for my taste, but otherwise it's very good looking build.
  6. This is great build, as usual. The MonkeesMobile is so boring subject, that this kind of conversion looks interesting. I have to do something same styled too, since I have one Monkees Mobile also. Can't wait to see more, you're talents are great.
  7. Oh, somehow I've missed this thread before. Luckily found it now. Nice to see Monza being built, and you're doing very good job with this. IMSA Style looks actually quite good in this body style, keep it going.
  8. This is absolutely amazing scratchbuilding. Every time I see a new update I can expect amazing scratchbuilding, but somehow you just manage to Blow Me Away in every, single update! Thanks for sharing I wish I had scratchbuilding skills like that.
  9. If possible, visit Kissimmee Old Town Cruising. http://myoldtownusa.com/car-cruises/ Here are some pictures, I took in February, 2011. http://tapahtumakuvia.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Tapahtumat+2011/Cruisings/Kissimmee%2C+Florida%2C+February+2011/?n=0

    Big-T

    Yep, I like it, very nice and Old School styled T Ford! Paint looks very good and details all over look great. I like the stance too.
  11. Oh, thanks for the information. Yes, they are bit different when looking pictures again. Needs to look what needs to be changed if I take a Ford on the bench.
  12. There's something wrong with the sign on the back. Don't know what the owner of this Mini thinks, he can drive a Mini, but not Chevy . http://public.fotki.com/-Toni-/tamiya-mini/064-jpg.html This looks very good too, and it looks even better in person.
  13. Really like these old Chevy W-Blocks! You did very good job with this BelAir, engine detailing is super and I like the color too.
  14. Very Good Job with the frame! I'd really like to see more, your work is superb.
  15. Working with the chassis. Rear wheel wells and rear floor parts are from Trumpeter's '64 Falcon. After few modifications they fit okay, even though there are some holes what need to be filled in with styrene. Hopefully tomorrow I can get the first coat of bondo applied.
  16. Thanks Guys! Needs to look if I can get one, and see what they cost. If I can't find them anywhere else, maybe eBay helps.
  17. Very nice Chevy, this is something very rarely seen, but the subject is extremely interesting. You did very good job with this one, details are awesome, and I like the paint job too. Wheel choice is perfect, we just need to see more pics of this beauty.
  18. Good Job with the Trailer! Very nice and clean one. Can't wait to see it completed. I guess it didn't have any fenders originally?

    Garage Dio

    Wow, it has been a while since I have looked this Diorama-section. Luckily I opened this one, got to say that you are doing great job.
  20. This one is very cool Impala! Paint job looks great, and I really like the stance. All parts fit nicely to each other too. It doesn't have to be always Bubbletop. It looks very good in person, too.
  21. That paintjob looks impressive! Very smooth and very shiny, I can't wait to see this one finished.
  22. Then I had to draw few concepts how my 1:1 car would look in the future, when I can get one... These are the possibilities and how they would look. Iroc-Z Camaro Fox Mustang Chevy Corvette Firebird GTA And Chevy Fleetside
  23. Thanks, here are some more poor quality drawings, I did... First is '59 Cadillac ProMod, inspired by Swedish '59 Caddy http://badillac.se/ Next '68 Camaro Outlaw ProStreet: Then '69 Chevelle Outlaw ProStreet Project. Then '83 Hurst Olds ProMod. '87 Shelby Dakota D/Street.
  24. What, No burnout? Actually is that track just like normal road, I mean that it's not prepped for Drag Racing? Sad news, even if it wasn't the original one. I hope they can fix the car.
  25. Looks Good! That Motor looks very good, I've always liked Hillborn Fuel Injection system. Nice paint job too. I'm not too crazy about the wheels on this, but luckily they are 15".
