W-409

There's no kit from '79 Skyhawk, and I'm 99% sure about it. All Skyhawks, I've seen are older ones ('75-'76 or so.) That's really sad that I haven't seen any resin bodies either, and problem is that '79 is Completely different than those older year models. I have AMT Monza 2+2 and that would be great basis for Skyhawk conversion too. I'm building mine as Monza now, maybe conversion would be nice to do later.

WOW, paintjob looks sweet so far! You've always amazed me with those crazy paint jobs, they are cool. Shiny and smooth, maskings are done very nicely and there's no need for removing paint, which is typical for me.

Here are first pictures of my '82 Outlaw Street Corvette. In Outlaw Street car category, "Safety index" is 7.50 and you can build your car quite freely. This Vette will be with 572 BBC and blower. First pictures show little mock up before I cut more of the chassis. Front tires and wheels are going to change, but those are just placed for Mock Up.

Sure, Liam! You are on the list again.

Here are some pictures about my progress. First I'd like to say Thank you Corey and Matt for the pictures. I installed those plumbings. Not too great, but I will think about doing them again, it is possible that engine don't fit in with those mounted like that. But let's see, I need to do little mock up and look if everything fits. Also some carburetor work, I made that white piece from styrene and drilled few holes there, to match 1:1 scale carb better. Now I'm just thinking about painting the carburetor. Maybe a mixture of silver and gold would work the best? That color I painted earlier doesn't look good to my eye. The carburetor looks rough, but I will make it better.

Great to see that there are some other people interested about this year Chevelle too, usually when I see some listings on Chevelles, they end after year '72. Anyway, I've been thinking about making the conversion. And Hey, Look At These!!!!!! And one with Laguna nose. On the last one those rear wheel openings on the body look pretty good. But it's $100 on Nascarmodelkits.com Maybe the best way would be buying Model King kit, and then just making those wheel openings smaller, and some other modifications what are necessary.

No pictures yet, but some progress has been made. I try to take some pictures tomorrow, when it's not dark. Otherwise engine looks horrible in the pictures, but anyway I've made some progress with plumbing. Maybe I can install the carburetor tomorrow.

Very nice Torino build! Great to see one Petty Ford, because usually when someone says Richard Petty, always there's Superbird first in mind. Great paintjob on this one and decals fit nicely to the body shapes. Thanks for sharing it, turned out really nice.

That's cool! Ford Fairmont is pretty cool looking car, and these will look very good when finished. I'd be happy with one Fairmont body too.

I cleaned the carburetor a bit, and it looks much better now. Now perfect, but OK for me. Also removed the fuel pump and fuel line to Holley Carburetor, and new fuel line is installed to Rochester carburetor. I will scratchbuild new electric fuel pump and fuel filter later. First picture shows what I removed from the engine, the second one is with the carburetor installed and new fuel line glued on its place.

Bought Revell '10 Mustang kit, and I'll be building it as Super Stocker. I have some pics from the engine and two from the interior. Also one from the trunk. Otherwise I'd like to see some reference pictures, especially from the chassis and engine. Also some advice on what needs to be done would be great, especially with that engine, since I don't know anything about it because it's modern technology. The WIP can be seen on Community Builds section on 2005-2010 Mustang build thread.

Yeah it is. And pretty high too. Can't believe that it's built to 1989 "World's Fair". And the idea was that they take it apart after that World Fair thing was over. Luckily they didn't. We were on the second floor. Pretty high, even if it don't look like it from the picture. It's only on halfway through the tower, but we could'n get to the top because elevator was broken.

Thanks Larry, needs to check it out. I painted the engine block and other engine parts with spray can before going to Paris. I haven't been looking of those parts yet, how they look when dry, so I maybe have to clearcoat those parts before assembly.

That's it, I'm back from the Paris. Great place, and luckily people understand english and they speak it too. I visited in two shops. -Eol Paris 3 Rue Du Louvre Great shop with lots of diecasts and RC stuff. Some model cars too, mostly Japanese or European. Some Rally Cars too, but they were new ones, oldest ones were maybe 90's. Some Evergreen stuff and great selection of paints. I found one paint there, which was pretty close of BMC Engine Green. Pretty close to Louvre museum, so location was good. -AJC 78 Rue Des Pyrénéés Small shop with lots of stuff inside. Not much room to walk or look for the model kits, but just enough. Lots of diecasts too, but many models from American cars. Some European cars and RaceCars too. I really liked this shop, and prices were great. Location is little minus, but luckily Paris has nice Metro, so it was possible to drive on right street. Some walking was needed to find correct number from that street, but the shop was worth it. I bought '70 Challenger and '10 Mustang there. Sad thing was, that there was no time to visit in Au Chat Botte. But it looks like four days is not enough for big city like Paris. Maybe next time we have to stay longer and visit more model shops. Of course visited at Eifel Tower, Louvre, Moulin Rouge (not inside, though), Notre Dame and some others, which are too difficult to write correctly. This picture was taken on evening:

Is it still possible to join in? If so, I bought Mustang kit and I'm ready to stick my hands inside the box. So it'll be '10 Ford Mustang Super Stocker

Thanks Terry! Actually there are about 50 projects going on. Some are coming along fast and some are coming really S.L.O.W. I've posted the most interesting builds here. Constructive criticism is great when the goal is to get better and better. Hopefully there comes some great and clean builds from my bench some day. No progress for the Beretta yet, but now I'm back from Paris and I can continue building models.

Turned out very nice! That paintjob is wild, and engine detailing looks very good. Wheelie bars are very realistic also. Really like Pro Mod cars, and this one is bit different with '64 Dodge body. Great Job!

Great looking Monza for sure. These are great cars and you did a great deal with 10$. I like that color, never seen it on Monza body, but it fits nicely there. I'd like to get one promo-model too, and maybe do '79 Skyhawk Conversion.

Really cool project, '75 Chevelle looks good. Great job with the engine so far, and interior too. Can't wait to see more because these Chevelles ('73-'76) are very rarely seen.

Well this is going to be interesting! Your projects are always very nice to watch and follow, and when this is based on Dragster, it'll be super interesting. Looks good already, that Roarin' Rail Dragster kit would be pretty cool to have on my bench too.

I cut the chassis to two pieces, because the front end will be built from tubing. First picture shows, what I did for the chassis, and then it was possible to glue those tubes on their place. Bit badly said, but can't say it better, let the pictures to the talking...

Thanks Matt! That helps very much. The day when I pull this one on the bench again, is today. I will be continuing the engine detailing, and maybe some chassis work too, but let's see...

This will be great as always. I like the paintjob so far, and decals look very good too. Interesting subject, these Funny Cars are great. Maybe I should continue my Chi Town Hustler...

Very cool and realistic builds, both of them. As Chevy guy, I like seeing Vega Funny Cars built, and that is really cool one. Engine detailing is spectacular, in both of them.

This turned out very nice Custom. I like the color combo, and paintjob looks very good too. Great job on the interior also.
