Hot Rods From FINLAND!!!

Thanks, Jim, Mark, Nathan, Joe and Sean! Really appreciated. I like it too, looks pretty good now. Nathan, great to hear that you got an idea of this build! Can't wait to see, what's coming from your bench. Joe, that's not so easy, you're right. Especially those side trims are hard to foil, but I made it somehow. And Sean, can't wait to see your projects as well, you have to pull them back out!

More cars from FINLAND!!! More coming maybe tomorrow... EDIT: I've taken those pics, I just posted.

Some cars from FINLAND!!!

Truly amazing, looks like real car. Can't wait to see more work of it. Those tires and wheels are nice, and that tank somehow looks just right. Nothing wrong with it, very nice.

WOW, those wheels and tires look FANTASTIC! Pro Tech parts are great, this shows it. I have one Pro Tech's Braided line, and that's really good stuff also. Nice looking Dragster, those body panels look good with the paint on. Can't wait to see more of this, detailing looks so great, it's going to be really nice build when it's finished.

This is going to be great looking build, again! Even if it's just Box Stock. Now when watching those pictures, it looks like a good basis for Hot Rod. But it's going to be nice, can't wait to see more.

Now it's foiled. Huh, it took few hours easily, and lots of Bare Metal Foil. But the end- result is alright, and next I'm going to clean up that body from inside, and hood needs to be primered, when the weather is good. First time I tried to put some BMF to those little textes and badges on the front fenders, and trunk lid.. They turned out pretty good, better than painted ones. More pictures.....

Great! Those wheels are just perfect choice for this. And I like the color of it, paintjob looks very good too. Interior has really nice color. Great job with it so far, keep coming! And then, one suggestion: Those wheels look good, but maybe they should look bit better if you could apply just a little black wash to them. Thin Revel Enamel matt black works nicely, or I used Tamiya's acryl paint, matt black also. That is thin enough, no need for thinner... Easy little thing, and makes the wheels look better. Worth trying, and if you fail, only new coat of gold and wheels are like that again. Here is a picture of one wheels, I did like that.

This one is great project too. I've been waiting for the update, and now I have to say that those stripes are looking really nice. Detailing is simply outstanding.

Great project going! That frame looks really good, and I like how you did the doors. Engine looks really nice also, this topic is really interesting. Can't wait to see more. Now it looks like we got lots of Pro Modified projects going on, well, PM is a great group.

That interior looks pretty weird... But I like it, nice job. This is very interesting project again, those turning front tires are working nicely. Interesting to see the end result.

Great idea to convert Dodge Magnum to wheelstander. Personally I liked that first paintjob better, but this one isn't bad... Great job on it, something really different.

Thanks Jim! I like also these Classic Chevys, and of course with shiny paintjob. And I agree, Red color fits nicely to '57, and of course other models too. Hood needs to be painted, but right now, I'm waiting for better weather, so I can paint it outside...

Finally got the camera back. But I haven't had time for building on the last couple of days. So here is the picture of that body, which I painted inside. Headliner is flat white, and otherwise it's matt black. Tomorrow school ends at 12.00, so maybe I can get some foiling done....

Nice job with it, great to see some commercial vehicles being built.... That paintjob is really nice, and I like those decals. Engine looks good so far. Keep it going, I'm watching this one.

I'm not 100% sure, but quite sure, that it is: Y-1 2211 Banana Beautiful color for '70 Challenger.

Great pictures. Those are great reference shots also, needs to bookmark that site, thanks for sharing.

It looks very good. I like the Mooneyes Dragster in 1:1 too. This build is great, paintjob is really nice, and I like the detailing. Rear tires are looking realistic. Nothing wrong with it, maybe front wheels aren't perfect, but aftermarket ones are so expensive, that using those from the kit isn't a crime.

Great color choice! Paintjob looks very good too. I'll be following this one, your projects are amazing. Keep it going.

Thanks, Mark! Interior turned out pretty good, and I'm really happy about the end result of it. I've painted the body inside, and today I will put some BMF, no pics because I haven't that camera right now. Maybe tomorrow I can get it back, and then some pictures.

If you are building your first build, maybe painting those could be easier. So use Masking tape, and paint those trims with small brush very carefully. It takes time, but end result is worth it, if you can make it. Here I didn't use the masking tape, only small brush and silver enamel paint. End result is not perfect, far away from that, but it's pretty good I think. It's built many years ago anyway.

Engine looks amazing! Is it running? This will be really nice when finished, can't wait to see more of your work with it. Please, keep going.

One more Must Have kit... Great looking heads and intake manifold. This is great body style for Custom and that's why I need to get one.

They are looking really good! Love the colors on both and paintjobs are nice. They are looking very clean and nice builds. I have also one waiting for builder, but I don't know do I have inspiration to build it, this is just not my style of bikes, needs to be more Old School style.... Well, maybe some day I'll build it and make huge modifications...
