Very cool Ford. Maybe somekind of little decal would fit nicely. It's good like that too. Engine looks very good, and so does that interior. Flat Black somehow looks good, even if I usually like Shiny better.

First Rule of Italian Driving: What's happening behind you is not important! That's the way, I remember it. When looking, how some of the Italians drive, that seems to be true.
-
Yeah, those subframe connectors are allowed, but you don't have to use them. My plan was that I'm not going to use them on this build. Don't know, why I decided to do it that way, though. Thanks guys.
-
That looks very good, as that Super Stocker does too. Needs to build one Super Stocker Camaro, and hopefully someone makes resin body of this Pro Stocker. It would be cool to have one. But this is something different on Pro Stock class, I've seen too many GTO and Cobalt bodies there, new Mustang and Camaro will be both very interesting.

This is great kit... Sorry, but I didn't actually understand, what you said... "how come you didn't connect the sub frame to the front frame" -that part. It's just because my english, we don't speak it as native language here in Finland.

Fiat Topolino '60s Altered & Finished Slingshot Dragster
W-409 replied to W-409's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thanks, Matt! I'll try to build as good build as this engine.. I've messed few builds with bad finishing. But this is not going to be one of them, I'm sure about it, since this is one of my all time favorite kits, and subject is more than interesting... -
Yeah, very interesting! This is really cool Front Engine Dragster. Great job with the chassis build, it looks so good. Can't wait to see more, and I'm sure, blown Small Block would be really good looking engine in it.
-
I've built this kit, and quality had to be OK, because I managed to get everything together pretty nicely. That was many years ago. Your build looks very good. Nice paintjob, and color looks very good too. Great job with the chassis also.
-
Finally update, but very small one... I painted the engine block, just because now I can see better, if it needs still some more bondo. And yes, it needs a bit bondo, but not much anymore. Next I need to cast timing chain cover, water pump, cylinder heads and stuff like that. Hopefully I can get more updates soon.

Fiat Topolino '60s Altered & Finished Slingshot Dragster
W-409 replied to W-409's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thanks so much, John! Those parts number 23, what didn't fit at all, are built now from solder. I believe, I must do some little things, before I can call them 100% finished, but anyway, they turned out pretty good. -
Great build, Front Engine Dragsters are my favorite subjects. Absolutely beautiful overall look, and that engine is cool. It has not to be V8. Nice detailing, and painting. Wheels and tires are looking very good too.

First post - Bob Glidden Mustang 2 Pro Stock
W-409 replied to Dyno Davo's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Very nice build of this poor quality kit. I've built the ProStock Vega, what's same series as this one, I guess. But your build looks like amazing one, paintjob is great. Decals look very good too, and engine detailing is truly amazing. Thanks for sharing. -
Yeah. Perfect builds, all of them. It's simply inpossible to pick favorite build from there, because they all are incredible. Dashboard looks much better than my whole model. Great job, as always!

Aussie Kustom F100
W-409 replied to Dyno Davo's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Register plate says it all... Very nice build, just low enough and those wheels and tires are perfect choice. Black car with red steelies fit just perfectly together. Nice engine detailing too, thanks for sharing. -
Great job with those belts and bullies. Needs to try on my builds too. Overall that engine looks like very nice one. Anyway, can't wait to see more work with it.
-
It's still not too late to paint some detail to those hubcaps. Center logos need some paint, and valves too. Gives much realistic look. But very nice build overall, especially that paintjob is really great.

Fiat Topolino '60s Altered & Finished Slingshot Dragster

Little update for the engine. Those blower parts were on MR Muscle to remove chrome plating. After that I removed few mold seams and painted them silver. I assembled everything together, only those "tubes" are missing. (First picture, parts number 23) Those parts didn't fit at all, so I'm going to make new ones from solder. -
I painted all of the bolts from the engine, and installed carburetors. Still some painting to do, before I can install fuel lines and some other details too...
-
It's looking really good so far. Like that paintjob very much, and that Black Magic text turned out pretty good! Wheels and tires fit together very nicely, and engine detailing is truly amazing. Keep it coming, this is very interesting build.
-
Very nice job with it. Can't believe, that Austin Seven can be turned into Really nice Hot Rod. But this proves, that it's possible. Great paintjob, wheel and tire choice is perfect. Engine detailing is incredible too. I'd like to see a picture of the older version too, like two Austin Seven Hot Rods side by side... Is it possible?

NNL West V-12 Dry Lakes Style Modified - Completed 02-02
W-409 replied to Bernard Kron's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Another very interesting build, Bernard! I like seeing these Old School Hot Rods. Somehow those Salt Lake racers have been always very interesting. Can't wait to see how this turns out. -
started Tony Schmacher's record setting top fuel
W-409 replied to dragcavy's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Great start, you don't see too many TF Dragsters built. Great to see this one. Can't wait to see more work. -
Ok I painted the Camaro engine block gloss red. Next needs to paint some other parts, and look if TunnerRam manifold fits with this engine. I did some bodywork too, and hopefully I can primer this thing soon. Looks like the engine needs another coat of paint, though.
-
Patrik, very interesting project going on. Can we see this one as project in some Model Car show? It would be very cool to see live, very interesting and nice project. Little update for the Chrysler. I have installed some engine parts. I had to paint some black details for the valve covers. Used masking tape this time, I don't like painting another coat of gold, just because I would have been to lazy to use masking tape.
-
Great job so far! I can believe, those decals were quite tricky to install. Very nice paintjob on that body, will look very good when finished. Now needs to make some progress for my builds too...
