  1. Me Too, mine is still coming to Northern Europe from Model Express. Can't wait to get it on my hands...
  2. Great job on the GTO. Paint job looks very good, and I like the finishing too, it's clean and parts fit to each other very well... Only thing what caught my eye, you have four bolt 14" wheels on Pontiac GTO?
  3. That Stuff.... How Glossy is it? Is it like Gloss Black, SemiGloss, or Matt? I need to make matt black window trims for one build, and I'd like to know if that stuff works for it. If it don't work, is there any other stuff to make matt black window trim? Of course I can paint the trim, but masking is not a little thing...
  4. Yeah, I'm with Skip too. It'll be very cool Roadside Diner. And Hey, I got it right, but not gonna tell you what it is...
  5. Very Good point, Dave! When comparing into Nostalgia Top Fuel, I'm starting to believe, that Dave's Gassers belong here, in this post. Thanks for making this subject clear.
  6. I Wasn't going to use those unrealistic hood hinges, and firewall had big holes for them. So I took my sheet styrene, and after cutting two little styrene parts, I filled those holes. First Picture is Before, the second is After.
  7. Sanded The Body Smoother Too, Now It Needs Some More Bondo.... Engine:
  8. Thanks Nick! Glad to hear, that my pictures were helpful. More work done with the Camaro. I glued engine to chassis and it fitted very nicely on place. Then I decided to do little test fit, and realized that the Air Cleaner doesn't fit under the hood. Well I cut a hole on that hood with Trumpeter's Panel Scriber and saw. New Scoop is made from '57 Chevy's (Monogram) bottom part of the scoop. I had to modify it a bit before it looked good enough. Well enough talking, here are the pictures... "Houston, We Have A Problem!" One Minute Later: And Here Is The Scoop Basis: Little Cutting & Styrene...
  9. I think, those new cars what run in A/G, B/G, C/G, D/G, or AA/GS, they are today's "Gassers". But are they really NOSTALGIA Gassers? I think, that they are bit like Modern Gassers, but not Nostalgia. Whatever, they are nice. Here's one '56 Chevrolet, which I hope, qualifies as a Gasser.
  10. Sometimes I have the same problem. But usually when I click the right button of that mouse, and if there comes no paste - option, I move the mouse right next to the cursor and then click again. The paste - option is there. Or then hit "ctrl" + "v"...
  11. Thanks, Skip for the link! I was bit late, and couldn't watch the race, but looks like there's coming NASCAR too, so I need to tune myself in.
  12. I made some bodywork too.... Still little rough, but it's slowly getting there.... Also painted inner fenders from the front after removing molded in battery cable from other fender. I can install the engine soon and then continue the detailing.
  13. Thanks for the kind words! I built fuel lines from carburetors to fuel pump. The First Picture shows that connection part, I built for this fuel line. Fuel Line was built from metal wire, which was pretty easy to bend. I built throttle linkage too. It's made from same metal wire, and it was pretty hard to make since spark plug wires were disturbing a bit. But I managed to make it and this picture shows the parts, I needed to complete Throttle Linkage. I added few more details too, and then engine looked like this:
  14. Yeah, the carburetor from that Oldsmobile kit looks great. I have to find one. Little update. I've been working with '69 Camaro for Gumball Rally CBP, and I've had some other things to do as well, but now I managed to do some more work for the chassis. Tomorrow my plan is to sand it smooth and look if it needs still some bondo...
  15. The Only Interesting F1 Race of the year! Seriously, it's sad that we can't see it Live from TV here in Finland. Especially the first few laps would be interesting...
  16. This one looks cool! I like the paint scheme a lot and you did nice job with those body modifications. Have to say, that I would not started to convert that body into this, just because it would have been maybe bit too challenging. You did very nice job on it.
  17. Front Axle System is assembled, now for the Camaro and I found good wheel backs from my spare parts box. They needed bit work before I could glue them on but now they fit fine. I had to paint textes from rear tires too before gluing them. Stance is pretty good now.
  18. The engine and transmission are looking great, as always! This is absolutely incredible build. It's hard to realize, how big it really is so would it be possible to get one picture of that engine with somekind of "normal" thing we use often, like Matchbox?
  19. This '66 Opel Rekord Gasser Raced here in Finland last weekend. Very cool, I would say.
  20. Thanks! I'm back on the Camaro. I painted Gas Tank gloss black and few details from the chassis are silver now. Also I found correct wheels for this, stripped the chrome plating and painted wheels flat black. Tires needed some work before I fitted those wheels on, but now they fit fine. I painted interior base color too and installed rear axle, but leaf springs need some work still before I can call them done.
  21. Oh, the Drag Look was much better, I think. I think that Those wheels just don't fit under Ford Falcon. Well actually, any wheels what are bigger than 15" look bad. But of course it's your build.... Great paint job anyway.
  22. Very cool build. I was sure this will be truly amazing since I saw that Topic Title and Poster. You do always some amazing work. Paint looks great and you did nice job with the frame too. Engine looks good already.
  23. Coolest Chevy Nova, I've seen for a while. Great idea and great build too. Color is nice and fits well on this body. I prefer it gloss than matt colored. Engine looks good too. I need to build something like this too. ...Where did I put my Motor Tool....?
  24. Beautiful Hudson LongRoof. I really like seeing this kind of builds here too, and it's great thing that Jimmy Flintstone has made that kind of body. Your build turned out great and I like the colors on it. Excellent detailing all over.
  25. Wow, that's cool. Love Stockers and Super Stockers. This one turned out great. I like the paint job on it, very smooth and decals fit nicely too. Engine detailing is great and everything looks just so clean.
