10.5 tire outlaw Twin Turbo Mustang BACK TO WORK ! :)
W-409 replied to nitrousnick4710's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Very cool progress on this interesting build. I like the frame, it looks very good so far, everything is lined up right. Thanks for sharing this beautiful build, and yeah, hopefully you find that Camera somewhere, since these pictures doesn't make justice on that frame. -
That looks cool. These '63-'67 Corvettes are very popular in ProMod, I mean in 1:1 scale, but I haven't seen many of them in smaller scales. I hope after this comes out, there will be more this Generation Corvette ProMods coming.
-
This is going to be another amazing build, I'll be following for sure. I have always liked '70 Camaro ProMod body, it looks mean and agressive from the front. Engine set looks good too. Can't wait to see more, your building skills are awesome.
-
:lol: Thanks Fellas! Wheels are painted silver, I guess they need some paint for the center caps, though. But otherwise they look good, and especially the quality of those resin parts was perfect.
-
Thanks Both, '67 Impala Sleeper would be very cool too. AMT kit would offer a great basis for the build, since it's very good quality. The backseat is fitted bit better, you can see the difference if you compare these pictures to those on that last update. I also filled that little "hole" on the seat with styrene. Next I need to paint that interior.
-
Your work is amazing. I've seen your finished builds, and they are incredible. The detail, you have put into this Mustang Pro Mod, is amazing. I wish I could build something with that high quality, but needs to say that it's just a dream. I'm watching this one very surely, this is absolutely one of the best builds and WIP topics, I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I haven't got any cylinder heads yet, but I'm getting closer of having those resin casted. Anyway, today I was able to get that interior tube out from Mr.Muscle, and it turned out pretty good. However, this interior tube doesn't have back seat, so I will fit one from my parts box there. I'm not sure, where is that seat from, but it sits pretty good. Needs to add some material on the rear... Front seats are from AMT '66 Nova ProStreet, and they fit nicely on this interior.

Kit announcement from Model King and Moebius Models.....
W-409 replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Is this going to be another Limited Production kit? It looks cool, this is the version, what comes in my mind, when talking about Hudson Hornet. -
Since the Nova build is slowly getting there (having problems with the hood), I'm going to move my inspiration on this one. Today I removed the gas tank from the chassis, I will install Jazz tank later, when I have filled that hole. Gas Tank left off easily with a motor tool.
-
Looks very good, you are making great progress on this one. It's a shame that paintjob didn't go right on the first try, but I'm getting used to it, since almost every project of mine has at least one bath at the paint removal. Anyways the paintjob looks very good again, and bodywork you have done is very cool. I can't wait to see more of this Charger.

57 chevy pro mod w.i.p (updates 11/11/12)
W-409 replied to tyrone's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
This will be interesting. That '57 Body looks good to me, and with your talents this is going to be awesome build. The frame looks very good so far. I have to say that I always enjoy watching your projects. -
Well this one is beautiful Impala, luckily you didn't rush it. I like the color, and paintjob looks good too. Wheels and tires are super nice, and engine detail looks sharp. Everything is just alright in this Chevrolet.
-
WOW, I'm rarely drooling, but now I am. That Chevelle turned out FANTASTIC! Paintjob is beautiful, and I dig the stance. Your know how to make these Lowriders look cool. Some Stepside pictures too, the engine is now at this point. Otherwise it's built box stock, but spark plug wires and some linkage for the transmission are the things, I've added. Air Cleaner is also aftermarket stuff. I will continue with more detailing soon.
-
Thanks, Mark! I'm gonna take it on the bench tomorrow, and start working with the wheels and tires.
-
Thanks Richard, here's some more progress... Interior is installed, and it fitted pretty nicely on place. When I was gluing the chassis, other inner fender from the front, came apart from the body. Gluing it back with the chassis on place wasn't easy, but it's there and only a bit cleaning to do. Next I need to install those wires and hoses, then it's only final assembly time. The hood is still in primer, since I didn't remember to paint it earlier. One Question, though. Should I paint that grille and the "taillight panel" matt black, or just basic black wash? How it was in original '69 SS Nova?
-
Turned out real nice! Great paintjob and decalwork. I also like the detailing on this one. Very nice Tribute to Bill "Grumpy" Jenkins.

Lets see your trailers or car haulers!

Thanks Guys, needs to pick one up in some point. -

Are those Galaxie kits still available? I'd like to get one, but if they are hard to find and expensive, I need to think again. -
Is it OK to jump in with a car, that has been started before. I have done some work for the engine, but it's not close of being completed yet. Everything else than that engine, is still unpainted and unassembled? If that's acceptable, I join in with '65 Chevy Stepside.
-
Rambler looks great so far. What's that paint, you used? I mean the manufacturer and the color code. It looks just boring enough for a Sleeper. That Cross Ram Intake is installed, I guess it's from Monogram '57 Chevy. Carburetors are from that kit too, and so is the air cleaner, but it's still in progress... Paint scheme of it will be shown later. Valve covers are from this Camaro kit. Chassis is painted flat black too.
-
Thanks Richard and Wayne! I have to say, that Nova has always been one of my favorite cars, especially this '68-'72 version, but that 1st Generation Nova isn't bad either. I painted the body inside with Matt Black, and engine bay parts with Gloss Black. Today I installed the windows and class markings. Those F/S markings on the rear side windows are made by me, and printed by Petteri Nyholm. That "F" in the windscreen is from '70 Torino GT decal sheet, but other markings are done just like those others. Also Added NHRA logo to the rear window, it's from the kit. Tomorrow it's time to put the interior in. Then the chassis, and after that I can move on to those wires and other details, what need to be connected on the firewall, and brake lines what will be connected to the brakes, of course.

Moebius 1955 Chrysler 300 Ignition Wiring
W-409 replied to 250 Testa Rossa's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I did just like Chuck said to my '57 Chrysler 300C project, and here's one shot where you can see, where I drilled those holes. Hope This Helps.
