  1. Great video! What's that car? Didn't get it, but great work with that car!
  2. Tim, I think too that it looks bad with that body panel from the kit, and actually I like Front Engine Dragsters without any panels, and that's why there is coming no any panels. Android, Can't wait to see your FED, these are always great to watch, and I can't see too much of these.
  3. Yes, must get it on four wheels, not tree (one in the air)... Hope this turns out good, and there's no that kind of mistakes, they are looking bad in Ok build... And yes, it might be based on the Ramchargers kit, I have that one too, and these have lots of same parts, and chrome tree seems to be just like Ramchargers'... That body will look cool on it's place, and that's why this is something different. Thanks for the comments, guys!
  4. Another new project. The basis will be the Two Much kit from AMT. Great kit, it has two Hemi engines with blower. The frame is molded to one piece, which is good. Not so much work on the assembly, and it hasn't much mold seams at all. The kit is great, and it will be fun to build. I'm going to leave those Body Panels off, so it will look much better. Today I removed some mold flash and something like that. Some gloss black to it, needs still some more, but it's getting there. And must start the engines too. Pictures about what's in the box, are here:http://s1038.photobucket.com/albums/a463/VintageDragRace/Twin%20Engine%20Dragster/
  5. Starting a new project, but it's coming slowly... Bought The Jawbreaker Dragster, which has somekind of Sedan Body. It's cool looking, I think. It has Hemi engine with blower. The kit quality is Ok, but some parts have pretty much flash, and they need some cleaning. Also there are some need for putty in some places... Today I got engine halves together, but they need some filling and sanding before paint. Also must get building the frame. It's going to be very interesting build, but don't know, when it gets finished.... Some pictures about what's in the box can be found here: Photobucket album
  6. I've been building this, and I have time for building models like 20 minutes of a day, so progress isn't very fast. But when I get this one finished, I'll continue Mercury and get it hopefully primered soon.
  7. Great dragster! These are my favorites. That Twin engine system looks wild! If one is good, then two has to be better! Nice job on the detailing and all of the painting looks very good too. Amazing job with it, this is very nice model.
  8. If it's a model, it's big scale... BUT I say that it is REAL! Well, I might be wrong, as always, but it doesn't matter.
  9. I second that! That one is coolest VW I've ever seen, and it sounds very fast and mean. Interesting in 1:1 and 1:25 scale.
  10. Looks good! I like the color on it, and paintjob is very nice too. Mickey Thompson tires look very good. Engine detailing is great also. Add some black wash to the grille, and it will look even better. Stance is very good, and wheels are nice. Great build.
  11. Where are the pictures...? I can't see them.
  12. I've been following this build since you started it. It looks very good so far, amazing talents you have! That body looks very good, can't imagion that it is scratchbuilt. It just looks so good. Everything looks very good, this one is awesome project.
  13. The front clip has been painted from the other side long time ago, didn't remember to post a picture of it. Maybe there's one picture in the CBP topic, but I post it here too. It needs to be painted from the other side too, and then I can spray some clear on the cab and frame too.
  14. Long time with no any progress... This model is waiting for waxing again. I'll use a wax, which polishes at the same time, so I can say that paintjob is polished... But I don't have that wax yet. Interior could be also finished easily, maybe getting back to this build very soon.
  15. '63 Chevy II is really nice car, and perfect basis for this kind of project. Can't wait to see more progress of it, your builds are always looking very good. I like the modifications, you've done to the body, that car looks mean. Really great job so far.
  16. Hey Wayne, what's the best ET with that bus? It looks really wild, I'd love to see that one live at Santa Pod.
  17. This is incredible! Really great to see '62 Thunderbird built Custom and this one is built very nicely. Paintjob is simply perfect. No orange peel, very shiny and looking realistic all the way. Engine detailing looks amazing too. It's just amazing model, can't say more.
  18. Not all of them! The '64 Dodge 330 "Ramchargers", or Color Me Gone or Maverick version, they are all guite good kits. I'm positively suprised about '34 Ford Pickup too. But some of Lindberg kits are bad, but that means, there is only one way: UP! Project sounds interesting, can't wait to see progress of it. And one good Lindberg kit is '61 Impala Super Stock, both versions of it actually.

    My older builds

    I got '64 Dodge 330 "The Ramchargers" finished after '58 Impala. This was built from Lindberg's kit. Engine has some detailing, plug wires, carburetor linkage and fuel lines. It was simple build, but when I was spraying some clear to the body, there came somekind of reaction and I had to remove old paint and clear, and start again. Decals were really tricky, but after all, they are looking ok. Interior has seat belts and some detail painting. This was one year build, but I'm pretty happy with it. I've won Junior category once with this model too.
  20. Now I can say that it's finally finished! Great job with it, this gets me back building my SuperBee... Great color and paintjob looks good too. Steelies are just perfect wheel choice to this one, they fit very nicely with Hemi engine. Detailing is great all over. Really nice build, there is nothing to complaine.
  21. Very nice Ford Pickup! This is someting different, these are very often built Customs or something other than factory stock. Paintjob looks amazing, and color is great. I like the wheels and tires too, they look very autentic. Engine could look even better with some wiring and plumbing, but actually it doesn't matter, because this model is very nice all in all.
  22. Great job on the Monza! These were really popular in DragRacing. Now they are all gone. But this one looks really good. Paintjob is nice, and decals fit very well. I'd like to see some shots from the engine too. Really nice build anyway, and hey: I had the same problem, my post was gone away too...

    My older builds

    WHAT?! I posted this here few days ago... Now the post is gone ! Anyway, after that '65 Malibu sedan, I finished '58 Impala Mild Custom. It's built from Revell's Lowrider kit. Painted with metallic blue, and it has few coats of clear. Nothing special with this, cut the rear inner fenders off, because otherwise rear tires wouldn't fit. Engine is of course 348" with some detailing. Interior is simple, I just added few pinstripe decals and did some detail painting. This came out pretty well, upholstered the trunk and added some detail there also.
  24. This is looking cool! These old European or Japanese cars are pretty cool too, and those modifications, you have done to this car, are great. Paintjob and weathering are looking very cool. Engine detailing is very nice also. Only thing, what doesn't fit to my eye is the camber on the wheels.... But in the real car, they are like that too, but it looks bit funny to me, because I see those so rarely... But all in all, really nice build.
  25. Great work John! As always... What material did you use for the header wrap. It looks realistic, and I must also put some header wrap to headers of my NASCAR... This Harley looks very good so far, it's awesome.
